Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

How to Deal with Angry People by Dr Ryan Martin, widely known as "The Anger Professor" on TikTok and Instagram (with a following of over 172k and 269k respectively), offers ten highly effective, research-based strategies for coping with anger in various settings—whether it be at home, at work, on the street, or online.

The emotional toll of dealing with an angry person day-in and day-out can be substantial. As it's often impractical to simply cut ourselves off from these anger-inducing individuals (though ending the relationship is a possibility that the book explores), Dr Martin draws upon years of research and clinical practice to assist readers in managing potentially explosive situations for optimal outcomes.

The book:

Reveals the psychological factors that underpin an angry personality, including genetics, gender, and other personality traits.

Offers ten key strategies for dealing effectively with angry people, such as figuring out what you want from this person, knowing when to disengage, avoiding character assaults, and finding ways to reach those who refuse to communicate.

Provides case studies, fact boxes, tips, and activities to support readers in handling the angry individuals in their lives.
