Lisa Merlo-Booth challenges the normalization of rage, emphasizing that it is not a demonstration of power but a sign of a lack of self-control. She highlights the toxic cultural narratives that excuse rage, outlines its damaging effects on relationships and environments, and advocates for alternative approaches rooted in accountability and self-mastery.

Quotes to ponder:

"True power comes from within one’s self. Aggression is moving in power over others there is nothing admirable or powerful about being a bully."

"Ragers rage because they choose to NOT because others 'make' them or set them off."

"Love should NOT hurt. And love, most certainly, should not be a battlefield."
