The Missing Peace: Solving the Anger Problem for Alcoholics, Addicts and Those Who Love Them

This book was excellent. Not only does it relate the connection between addiction and anger but it helps anyone reading it understand where anger comes from. Additionally, this book helped me recognize the important difference between anger and rage and the necessity of feeling and expresing ones anger in a healthy way. This book is a must have for anyone in the mental health field as well as anyone looking for a better understanding of addiction.

This is a great book,I really enjoyed reading it. It gave me permission as a Women to feel my anger and also gave me an understanding that my anger will also pass, all I have to do was to stay present to it. Thank you John for your insight..and my new understanding that anger is a feeling to be respected and that I dont have to feel bad because I feel it, That life is a journey of all my emotions and expressions. And I can now let go of that belief if I am angry...its not that I am not working in my recovery..its actually that I am honouring myself on my journey by feeling it.

Don't be fooled by the title, this book applies to EVERYONE! The honesty and truth in what John Lee describes and way he captures and words these truths is heart-opening, validating, healing and a huge relief. It is like he is describing the places we all know in ourselves but never talk about or want to own. I thought it would be too basic but honestly it is fresh and has really useful information that is easy to practice and apply to daily life. The realness and humility in John Lee's books always hit deep places in me and I am so grateful for his willingness to go before us and shine the light of his awarenesses for us as we try to find our own way. Other great books by John Lee that I have personally found to be life-changing are "Facing the Fire" and "Growing Yourself Back Up".

I have followed John Lee's work for 22 years; he amazes me. And this book tops them all... John exudes humility. His depth of writing is so heart-driven, I sometimes wonder if he even has a head! This great book -- interest and easy enough for a one-session reading -- is for EVERYONE... Not just "Alcoholics, Addicts and Those Who Love Them! I encourage everyone to tap into its pearls...
