They rule our highways, our workplaces, our homes, and our hearts. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 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, \u003ci\u003eThe Enigma of Anger\u003c\/i\u003e will prove a welcome companion for anyone who has ever wrestled with wrath-or wished to make better use of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eThe Enigma of Anger\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWise and beautiful . . .
