Do the frustrations you encounter every day add up until you feel like you might explode? What can you do if your boss is unreasonable or your teenagers are unruly? If you’ve ever lost your temper over something fairly trivial, you may be hurting yourself more than anyone else.
The health dangers of anger are well documented. Carrying around a grudge can increase your risk of heart disease and other health problems. How can you manage adversity without losing your cool? Our guests will reveal how to handle anything, from stress at work to traffic jams.
