review 1: As a parent I have a responsibility of teaching my kids how to take care of themselves and how to treat others with respect and kindness. I also must teach them how to handle their emotions. I do not handle my own reactions well and most often than not my reactions come from an angry, unhappy place that reacts out of negative habit. I teach my kids to read and write but I'm also teaching them the wrong way to handle their angry emotions through my own wrong way and it simply must stop. Buddhism has seen me through many lessons in life so I sought out Buddhism to tackle my anger. This book did not disappoint. This book is basic and simple just like a Buddhist text should be. There are chapters and there are exercises to be done to practice anger awareness. W... morehen I feel angry or jealous I now understand that some kind of demand is not being met. I stop to ask myself what demand is not being met that makes Danine turn into the Hulk. Sometimes it's so obvious and painfully ridiculous. Sometimes the demand is so deeply embedded that I simply do not know. And that's where I get my rubber gloves on and search inside my muddy soul for a reason. Stopping, searching and identifying a demand is new to me. It's terribly uncomfortable because I have to stop instead of hitching a ride on the habitual adrenaline rush that is my anger fuelled reaction. According to the book there are four types of demands. The book only goes into detail about helping resolve one type which are unspoken demands. My problems lie within reasonable but unimportant demands. I wish there was more emphases on how to deal with these types of demands. The exercises are simple yet effective. A big plus for me. After reading this I feel that I'm actually using some of the techniques. This is enlightening and terrifying at the same time. I have a lot of work to do.
review 2: Mixed feelings. I found the book appealing in its approach (the title definitely caught my eye!) but I'm not quite sure how to feel about it. The author talks about different situations in which one might become angry and how to deal with it and why anger can be so negative on us.I guess this is one of those books that a reader might have to come back to. It's not a quick fix sort of thing (but what effective book is?) and it might take some working through in order for it to work. At times I felt it was rather repetitive in what it was trying to get across, just stated in different ways and with different exercises. This might be one that I'll have to come back to in the future. less
