Having trouble with controlling your anger? It’s time to find out why.
Truth is, you’re probably only using half of your brain to manage your anger.

Anger is a normal feeling that warns you of danger or upset.
But when it gets too much, it can hurt your health, relationships, and work.
Chronic anger can lead to heart disease, diabetes, and other health problems.
