Let go of your irrational beliefs
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This is one of the best strategies I've found for dealing with anger. Ellis points out that our response to a given event is conditioned by our irrational beliefs (e.g., "She should not...!" "I can't stand it that....!" "How awful that...!"). You can monitor your level of anger (mildly disappointed? enraged? something in between?), seek out your irrational belief, and counter it with a rational statement. This brings your implicit beliefs to the surface and makes them available for examination. It also levels out your emotional response to one that's more appropriate to the actual situation.
Lose your Anger. I did.

Although this book can get a little ponderous, it flipped a switch in me. I was one of those guys who got pissed at everything. By page 60 I was able to recognize the things that were making me angry, and not let them set me off. If you find that you are frequently irrationally angry, get this book. I can't begin to tell you the difference it made for me.
