Love Slows Down: How to Keep Anger and Anxiety from Ruining Life's Relationships

by Joël Malm

Overview

Anger. Anxiety. Frustration. Worry.

We’ve all felt the power of these emotions, and lived to regret the speed with which we spoke from, or even acted on them. 

We know we need to slow down and calm down before that torrent of emotion sweeps us away—but how?

What if you could understand those feelings better? Not ignore them or stuff them down, but actually harness their power to improve your relationships?

That’s the journey Joël Malm will take you on in Love Slows Down. Whether you’re feeling the constant weight of worry, flashes of fury, or the exhaustion of always being on edge, there is a way to understand what triggers your emotions and put the brakes on. You can slow down and respond with love.
