In the afterword of the book Liv writes: What initially was meant as a small booklet on anger grew and grew and grew. Anger, shame and guilt were originally only three expressions of emotions mixed with thoughts that I found interesting.

But now I look forward to the next time I feel shame, guilt or anger, and hope that you feel this way too!
