5 out of 5 stars good advice in a palatable form   April 8, 2008
I checked this book out of the library for someone after I had reached my limit in dealing with his frequent angry outbursts. Unlike some other anger books I have seen which berate the angry person, this one speaks to the angry person in an intelligent way that definitely does not minimize the bad behavior but also avoids alienating him or making him defensive (not so easy with an angry person!). The many examples from the author's experience as well as the self-assessment questionaires are very valuable. The person I got it for found the information and advice quite useful and helpful.


1 out of 5 stars Extremely limited in its scope and validity   June 24, 2007
 3 out of 4 found this review helpful

This book is so bad I had to look through the whole thing to fathom just how narcissistic and narrow the author's approach to anger actually was. Obviously, the topic is important; humans get angry, and if techniques for managing and modulating anger were better held within my own grasp, my life would be be smoother and happier. What's shocking about this shallow treatment is that it begins with a trite epigraph (The best time to manage anger is before it happens) attributed to WDG. I've never read a book where the author quoted himself before starting the book. It gets worse, since over half the anecdotes of recovery from anger are drawn from the author's own life. In the final chapter, one of the few sources for anecdotes, John, is revealed to be a beard, since "If you've read this book from cover to cover, you realize John's story is my story."


5 out of 5 stars It helped me recognize my anger!   December 13, 2001
 7 out of 7 found this review helpful

I have lived with anger my entire life. I was fianlly able to recognize my problem through this book. I felt like someone finally understood how hard it was to let go of the anger.

It was a great source of reference for me and helped me start a life free of anger. I feel so much better....thanks.


1 out of 5 stars Not very useful   May 11, 2000
 28 out of 54 found this review helpful

I am angry I wasted money on this book. The book description IS the book. I found very little here to apply to my life. Anger is not good for you. Duh! Why would I even bother to buy a book. The anecdotes were more annoying than anything. Save your money.


5 out of 5 stars IF YOU EVEN THINK YOUR PROBLEM IS ANGER, THIS BOOK'S FOR YOU   February 9, 2000
 63 out of 65 found this review helpful

If you have ever considered your problem may be anger, this is the right book for you. I am 30 years old and was the type that would be firm when upset, but not (I thought) too angry. I also had occasional violent blow ups.(3-5 time per year, for about 15 years) I was on course to destroying my relationship by casting blame and not assuming any. This book does two things well. First it enables you to determine what type of anger you have and secondly how to deal with it. This book is very well written and by the end of the first chapter I felt confident that I could defeat my anger. It has been several months now and I am able to express my anger constructively and have regained my life. Having dealt with this problem has lifted a load I never even knew existed. Even my co-workers say I seem much happier and they now enjoy working with me. This book will help you or your loved ones live a happier, healthier life at any age. You can do it!
