Gillespie's portraits depict anger that stems from interpersonal relationships toward coworkers, offspring, parents, and strangers. Her stories and observations are simultaneously funny and wrenching, providing the backdrop for universal experiences that range from irritation to fury. Gillespie is opposed to the notion that women must quell their anger rather than examine it. Her message is that anger is a destructive force for those who allow it to consume them, but that anger can also be a useful catalyst. Her observations of forgiveness are about releasing that anger when its usefulness has faded, finding balance, and unlearning habitual anger. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe has learned that one cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war, and that finding balance and happiness is about forgiving others their transgressions and making space to move on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Spike Gillespie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1580051626\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781580051620\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Seal Press (CA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/20\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 225\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.24h x 5.54w x 0.77d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/20\/2006 pg. 53\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2006 pg. 93","brand":"Spike Gillespie","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44068643373311,"sku":"9781580051620","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_aade9f3d-f3c5-4a0f-a4fd-8e7f3ef33aba.jpg?v=1685420189","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pissed-off-spike-gillespie-9781580051620","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
