How to Avoid Reacting in Anger

Summary: Do you get mad when someone insults you or things go wrong? Holding onto anger can ruin your relationships at home and at work. But a new study found a simple trick to cool down fast.

Researchers found that people who tossed their paper felt their anger completely disappear, while those who kept the paper stayed mad. It is a quick, free, and easy way to protect your peace of mind.
