    Helen, I was having trouble with your comment section. I'll try later. in the meantime:
    Thanks for joining my Chris Crutcher Challenge. I haven't read Angry Management but Ironman, his book that I just finished, introduces us to Mr. Nak and the Angry Management group. So you may want to read it next.

    Good luck with the challenge. Don't let it add stress to your day, just have fun reading the Crutcher books when you have the time.
