Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Rage, resentment, envy, jealousy, and hatred— these emotions seem to dominate our times. They rule our highways, our workplaces, our homes, and our hearts.
In this provocative book of essays, writer Garret Keizer considers anger in all its baffling forms. Poignantly aware of his own temper, and of his ties to a religion that glorifies meekness, the author looks at anger as a paradox in our struggle to remain human in the midst of an infuriating world. Interweaving personal anecdotes, mythological stories, sacred texts, and Keizer's insightful observations, "The Enigma of Anger "will prove a welcome companion for anyone who has ever wrestled with wrath-or wished to make better use of it.

Synopsis:

A Vermont minister takes on anger as an inescapable yet paradoxical part of human lives and views the cluster of emotions and associations surrounding it.
