A bold framework for turning aggression into strength.

At its worst, anger is responsible for destruction and death. But what if that same power could be harnessed to build and create?

In Ancient Greece, anger was considered a separate part of the soul that required its own education. In What If Anger Is the Answer? Mike LeBlanc shares lessons from his own journey of how the Marine Corps and the war in Afghanistan shaped his anger and aggression.

Drawing on lessons from ancient philosophy, military leadership, and Silicon Valley, the Marine Corps major and billionaire tech founder delivers a gripping, unconventional framework for strength, purpose, and personal transformation. Along the way he explains what Hamlet doesn’t understand about revenge, how less armor can become better protection, and why you should always accept gum when it’s offered.

Readers will:

Understand why avoiding conflict leads to resentment, not peace
Find how to expand themselves by testing boundaries
Build strong alliances with untrusted strangers
Learn why cynics make good bets but optimists win more
Resist modern life’s pull toward softness and stagnation
Understand how to become “no better friend, no worse enemy”
Apply the lesson of combat to the boardroom and beyond

This is the field manual for a generation tired of passivity and ready to take the offensive—in work, in life, and in leadership.
