In a world with more than 7 billion people, 196 countries, 7,000
spoken languages, and close to 30 religions, the probability of one
group or one person intentionally or unintentionally offending
another group or another person is absolutely certain. Many people
limit themselves in life based on their inability to get along with
others, and too often we allow ourselves to be ruled by our
emotions. When we're emotionally reactive, we're not our best
selves, nor do we produce the smartest outcomes. Emotional
reactions create winners and losers. And winning directly at the
expense of another is actually losing in disguise, due to the
resentment it inspires in the loser. Often, people get stuck in a
pattern of reacting emotionally, long past the time when the
combativeness that once served them no longer does; long past the
time when the pattern has become destructive without them being
aware of it. For everyone who wants to change that part of
themselves-everyone who wants more peaceful interactions and more
successful outcomes, but doesn't know how to achieve that-Quiet the
Rage is the answer.
