The Ultimate Guide to Transforming Anger: Dynamic Tools for Healthy Relationships

Without a doubt, this is one of the best self-help books I've ever read. Right away it gets down to the nitty-gritty of why people are really angry. This book guides you down paths and shows you things you might not have known that have been fueling your anger. Although it describes the types of anger and what it does to you and your relationships with others, it is a while before you get to what should be done about it. The Angerobics workouts at the end of each chaper are thoughtful and down to earth. However, my favorite part of this book is in the last few chapters where it discusses anger at the world. What if you're not angry at one person or small group, but a large organization, or even a government? Even better, what if you are mad at God? The book covers all those points and gives you real world solutions to help you move on with your life. This is an excellent book for anyone with anger issues, especially those stemming from other problems or losses. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to improve him/herself.

very good book and still reading through it and trying to understand and will pass it on

In clear easy to understand prose, this book explores anger from every angle, giving many examples, exercises, and suggestions for recognizing one's rage, dealing with it, and transforming it into serenity and compassion. Especially enjoyable and helpful are the wonderful cartoons by one of the co-authors, Peaco Todd. Her colorful drawings and humorous take on the subject provide the perfect accompaniment to this very hot and sensitive subject. Highly recommended.

Are you a parent? Do you commute through obnoxious traffic? Does your mate do inexplicably irritating things on a daily basis? Pick up this fun book and realize that you're not alone AND that there are many positive ways to respond to the inevitable challenges to your daily equilibrium. A great read that's full of insight, humor, and ideas that require some work to implement, but then you can't expect to deal with this subject without some work on your part!

This book should be mandatory reading for leaders of nations! I found this book to be one of the more important offerings of the Self-help genre. It is user friendly, holds your hand like a good friend, and gently opens one's eyes and one's heart to how anger can be one of the most healthy tools in human relationships. It also helped me to understand how this emotion operates in others, and I find myself having more compassion for humanity as a result.
