The actor, comedian, and author Patton Oswalt was recently asked the by The New York Times, "If you could require the president to read one book, what would it be?" Oswalt replied:

Garret Keizer's, The Enigma of Anger. A meditation and history on rage, both righteous and unrighteous, which seems to be infecting so much of world events these days, both the high (politics, statesmanship) and the low (pop culture, social media). We haven't seen the first truly great leader of the 21st century, but he or she is going to have to address, remedy, and control rage. It's the hidden poison of our tight-wire planet.
