Properly handled, anger can motivate and empower us to make changes. Inappropriately unleashed, it can destroy lives and relationships. This manual is your complete reference for how to manage your anger so it does not control you! Written in an easy-to-read style, by a husband and wife team with more than 20 years' combined experience teaching people just like you how to practice a few simple skills that will change your life! You will learn: *How to handle difficult and painful emotions in ways that put YOU in control of your reactions. *The concepts of brain function that either enable or prohibit positive responses to emotionally upsetting situations. *Why anger is considered a secondary emotion; whenever we feel it, we have felt something else first that is leading to our response. *Why taking time away from an upsetting event enhances our ability to deal with it in a positive manner. *How and why men and women are different in their responses to anger and a number of other emotions. *Relationship skills that not only bring you closer to your loved ones, but will also lead to a happier, more fulfilling life for all of you. *How to take care of yourself if you find yourself in a relationship with a partner who struggles with an anger problem.

A Most Practical Book! Feb 05, 2008
By Rod Harrington
A new book on anger management? Sounded like a bore...but what an interesting book it turned out to be. I reached for my yellow marker and read paragraphs to my wife. We talked about them as she worked with Photoshop on her computer.
The chapter on stress is excellent. Anger management depends a lot on stress management. But what is stress? How can we recognize it? How can we best cope with it? These questions are handled in a way that engages the heart. "It's not stress that kills us, it's our reaction to it."
In the chapter, "Battle of the Sexes," a tremendous wealth of helpful information is given on how men and women differ and how we can learn to live with each other. Our minds work differently, we solve problems differently, we speak to each other differently, and we express anger differently. As the authors tell their anger management groups, "The only person's behavior you should be trying to control is your own."
Much of the book is about relationships: communication styles, living together as partners, jealousy, forgiveness. There's a wonderful chapter subtitled "Help For Partners of Angry People." It's going to save some lives.
For me, the chapter, "Calming the Beast Within: The Task of Emotional Regulation," is my favorite. It's right down-to-earth. Events happening to us precede our thoughts, which precede our feelings, which precede our actions. The angry person can learn to intercept his negative thoughts with "replacement thoughts" chosen to defuse and de-escalate his typical feelings and actions. Of course, it's not easy or automatic. But a person can learn about the impact different parts of his brain have on his reactions. And he can learn to get the right part of his brain in gear. So practical.
The authors helped me see that, "Often the angriest person in the room is merely the one with the greatest hurt." Anger is a secondary emotion, stemming from hurt, fear or frustration. I'm not an angry man myself, but so much of this book was for me. I learned a lot--things I can use at home and at work. I hope anything I ever write is as helpful as this book!

From A Piece Of My Mind To Peace Of Mind May 26, 2008
By Alan Gettis
"Author of The Happiness Solution, and, Seven Times Down, Eight Times Up"
This very readable book distinguishes itself from other books on anger management through its human quality. The authors understand that those in need of anger management are not terrible people, but are struggling human beings who need to understand their feelings and develop the skills and coping mechanisms to be able to feel and respond differently. If you or someone you care about is having a problem with anger, this is a must read.

Very helpful in my work Jan 13, 2008
By Janice Goff-lafontaine
"Author of Women in Shadow and Light: Journeys From Abuse to Healing"
I love that this book is so human, and not written like a textbook. I work with helping women who are survivors of sexual and physical abuse to find healing, and also with abusers, and I feel this book is very pertinent and helpful to me in all aspects of this work. It is straightforward and easy to use these tools. They create awareness that can help change lives.

a PEACE OF MY MIND Jan 11, 2008
By Michael Monji
"Tree Whisperer"
Holy Cow!!! What a fantabulous book on how to deal with anger. Everyone
should read it, and use the great information in their daily lives. On a
scale of 1-5 it is a 10. This book has opened my eyes to the reality that
we are all human and we all make mistakes.
