Resumen del Editor

Discover a compassion-based method for defusing conflict and creating better relationships in every area of your life.

How do you respond to anger - in yourself or others? Do you fight fire with fire, or run for cover? Dr. Christian Conte created Yield Theory™ as a way to meet conflict without aggression or submissiveness through the practice of compassionate listening, de-escalation, and genuine communication. With Walking Through Anger, he shares this revolutionary model for dealing with inflamed emotions in even the most difficult and charged situations. Combining Buddhist wisdom, neuroscience, and Dr. Conte's hands-on experience as a top anger management therapist, Walking Through Anger teaches you powerful tools for resolving conflict in a way that promotes deeper connection and understanding, including:

• The three steps of Yield Theory: listen, validate, and explore options
• Acceptance: the art of meeting others where they are without judgment
• Authenticity: staying true to your essential self within conflict
• Compassion: choosing to connect from a foundation of empathy
• Nonattachment: letting go of the need to "be right"
• Conscious education: the essential shift from emotion-based conflict to rational interaction
• Creativity: opening the door to solutions you can't imagine from an angry place
• Mindfulness: cultivating moment-to-moment awareness of emotional energy
• The "Five Errors of Communication": how to avoid the most common pitfalls

"Communicating in the heat of conflict can feel overwhelming," says Dr. Conte, "Yield Theory gives you the tools to lead with compassion so that you can get around other people's defense mechanisms, communicate in ways that are actually heard, and connect more quickly and authentically than you ever thought possible." Walking Through Anger is a profound resource for learning to deal effectively with the most difficult emotions - in yourself and in others - to transform your relationships, interpersonal conflicts, and your day-to-day experience of life.

saved my marriage

loved the insight!! This book created change in my husband I thought was never possible and after a 3 month separation I began to see active change. I am happily married now and so thankful for Dr. Conte!

Rave on Dr Conte

Your work made me a better therapist for my angry clients. And because of it, I find I am less angry. Amazing how that works. Godspeed to you in your continued work.

amazing and practical advice

my partner listened to Dr Contes you tube videos, bought the book, then I did.
it's definitely changed our lives for the better
I will listen again and try to keep applying these techniques

Somewhat clinical but mostly down to earth

Worth reading twice. The life stories and examples really help provide a detailed explanation.

Absolutely amazing

A must read!

This book has helped me in so many ways I wasn’t expecting!

Love Love Love this book

The accuracy of this book is remarkable. It is so brilliant. Thank you Dr. Conte. I will be listening again....and then again. Worth every dollar.

Incredibly helpful and engaging cover to cover

I have been a follower of Dr. Conte for a while. I have listened to most of his youtube videos and I love his approach, analogy, and down to earth way of relating and speaking. This book is about so much more than anger and provides an incredible roadmap to learn how to live a more peaceful life in the moment. He incorporates many teachings from Daoism, Buddhism and others as well as his incredible experience being a therapist for decades at maximum security prisons. I cannot speak highly enough about him and I am thankful for how his approach and teachings have been transformative in my life. I am still 'practicing' as he would say, but I hope over time that his teachings will become a lifestyle and not as intentional as I begin this journey. I recommend this book to anyone and everyone. It is absolutely NOT boring and I am on my second read and will continue to re-read to absorb. Thanks Dr. Conte!!!! Back To you I wish .. Much Peace!

Most excellent book!

I enjoyed the teaching tales and skills presented in a clear entertaining manner. I also preordered it in the digital format.

life changing

Dr Christian Conte's work has changed the trajectory of my life. it's been years now since I've finished this book for the first time. since then I've purchased a hard copy and reread, relistened to this book over and over again. I've taken notes, I've applied the concepts to my life, I've even purchased and worked through the anger management workbook that Dr Christian Conte coauthored.
I quote passages and stories from this book all the time, to myself and to others.
although there are many portions of the book that have deeply impacted me, there is one small quote which I say to myself durring difficult moments and which always helps to strengthen my resolve and soften my fears/anger:
"Everything has a beginning, a middle, and an end... Including this."
I cannot recommend this book enough, if you struggle to control your anger, if you have explosive rage, if you are full of fury, you need this book. you're going to fall in love with how gentle loving validating and kind this book treats you. you're going to learn to fall in love with yourself and you're going to learn how to focus your power through softness instead of through anger, and regain control of yourself and control of your life.<3

Insightful
