“Hanger Management” Bookish First Book Review

Susan Albers, Psy D has hit the mark with a topic that is so very relevant, especially in today’s stressful environment. “Hanger Management” explores the role that hanger (hunger + anger) plays in our lives today. From research data to anecdotal stories, the author is able to demonstrate how hunger can dramatically impact our mood, our closest relationships, and our decision-making skills. Conversely, over-eating or impulse eating (in response to being hangry) can lead to feelings of guilt and remorse.

As someone who struggles with blood sugar issues, this book has certainly resonated with me. I am much more aware of the impact hunger has on my mood. Being hangry can indeed wreak havoc in one’s life. I, for one, would most definitely like to be happy instead of hangry! Thank you, Dr. Albers, for addressing this important issue!
