Quotes to ponder:
"To calmly say 'no' or 'I don't want to do this' or 'this is not okay with me' often works much better than loudly expressed anger."
"Use your ability to empathize to find out what your secret unmet need is."
"Anger is a powerful energy. When people blow a fuse, they tend to become very black and white in their thinking and lose their ability to empathize with others."
