Based on both personal and professional experience, People Who Argue Are Sick will help readers understand how anger and argumentation can impact individuals and society. It covers the topic of arguing and anger in three main sections: 1) the dynamics of arguing, which is the first step to ending the behavior, 2) how arguing and anger is expressed, and 3) real-world application. Only through understanding and personal application will each reader be able to stop the cycle of arguing and anger. The transformation can be a tool that counselors and many others use to break the chains of bondage within the family, the schools, and within our churches and society. The book is divided into three sections:
1) Section One - Understand the dynamics of arguing.
2) Section Two - Understand how arguing and anger are expressed.
3) Section Three - Understand specific steps necessary to stop argumentative behavior.

Zusammenfassung
Is it any wonder that wrath---the old-fashioned name for anger---is one of the “seven deadly sins”? We live in a world of anger and violence, with headlines so shocking we grow numb to their effect. National and international tensions surround us. Is it possible to discern the source of such wrath? More to the point, is there a “cure” for this malady of the heart?
In People Who Argue Are Sick Dr. Duane Cuthbertson shows that the human spirit can indeed be crushed and fractured, a brokenness that involves both temperament and environmental factors. But no one should have to be a victim of rage---either as instigator or recipient. He offers not only hope but also a technique for healing.
In these pages you will discover that:
* Your argumentative spirit can be healed
* You potentially have had your last argument
* Domestic violence can subside
* The world can be a less violent place
People Who Argue Are Sick has the potential not only to change you and your home, but to change the whole world.
