"Overcoming negative character traits is the essence and purpose of life" - the Vilna Gaon. <p> Anger is one of a person's most destructive traits. It harms us (and others) spiritually, physically, emotionally, and socially.<br><br> Anger can also serve as out teacher, however. It shows us who we are, what is important to us, our level of self-mastery, and how we cope with adversity and frustration. <br><br> In Anger: The Inner Teacher, Rabbi Pliskin presents a nine-step program to help us purge anger from ourselves. The author draws on Torah literature and his extensive counseling experience to build a comprehensive approach for coping with anger.
