This may seem like an odd recommendation, but I think <i>The Autobiography of Malcolm X</i> is one of the best books I&#x27;ve read. Easily the most gripping non-fiction.<p>Someone described it as illustrative of &quot;the intellect of anger&quot;, and I think it fits. I also think, somewhat paradoxically, that such a precise and charismatic characterization of anger will make you more understanding of angry people.
