Embracing Anger To Be Happier

HarperCollins Publishers

Have you ever felt so angry that steam could be pouring out your ears? 

On Monday's Up To Date, psychologist Harriet Lerner, author of The Dance of Anger, joins Steve Kraske to explain why it’s OK to be angry and how you can channel it in a positive way.

We talk about how to analyze what’s making you upset and how to build strategies to keep those problems from overwhelming you in the future.

When I host Up To Date each morning at 9, my aim is to engage the community in conversations about the Kansas City area’s challenges, hopes and opportunities. I try to ask the questions that listeners want answered about the day’s most pressing issues and provide a place for residents to engage directly with newsmakers.
