review 1: Excellent book that explores all the reasons that anger is harmful - both for the person who is feeling and expressing it, and for everyone else. It explains the myths we hold onto that perpetuate anger, and teaches how to change the mindsets that keep up caught up in anger. It has exercises to help you understand the causes and solutions for your own anger, and for successfully handling the anger of others without getting sucked into the anger drama.
review 2: I like how this book goes beyong the common anger management techniques you always hear about. It takes a new approach by encouraging us to overcome anger by changing our mindset and lifestyle. This will in return lead to positive, long-term effects on us and the people around us. There are a number of e... morexercises throughout the book that force us to stop and think. They help us identify our common anger trigger points, understand how we react to negative events, and how we can slowly develop a new approach to handle these events. I like how the book encourages all of us to become more giving and caring towards others, something we tend to forget in this fast spinning world. I enjoyed reading quotes from Buddha, as well as famous Buddhists and researchers. I knew some of the Zen stories that start each chapter from reading them in children's books with my kids. They illustrate how damaging angry and negative feelings can be when you keep them in. I don't consider myself an angry person but I know a few people who can have a hard time dealing with upsetting events, no matter how big or small. This is a great book to give to people who are open to changing their angry behavior patterns and create a calmer life for themselves. And if you're a parent who sometimes feel frustrated and stuck in a rut when it comes to dealing with your kids, this book offers sound advice on how to find new ways to approach and solve your frustration. less
