GREAT

This was a good book and was delivered in a timely manner. It was just as described.

Good Book

This book teaches you how to look at things in your life differently, how you react to situations differently, good book

By far the best book out there--Genuinely Helpful!

Of all the books I've ever read on the subject, this book is like a key. It lays bare all of the reasons we use anger to the point of almost being embarrassing. I have always thought of my anger being justified for reason or another and I can never think about anger the same way after reading this book. I think this book can save many many relationships for those who take the time to read it.

Finally - practical steps to solving this problem!

I've read a number of books on anger management over the last ten years to try and help with being irritable and too quick to anger. Most were not practical enough and, even the ones that did offer exercises, didn't seem to help in any lasting way.This book is different though. It approaches anger from some directions that are completely new to me. Because I now understand so much more about the reasons I've been using anger I'm actually finding I can control it! Because the whole book is practical exercises (as opposed to the usual "journal after the event" type thing I'm used to seeing) it really helps develop your understanding and skills while working through it. "The Anger Habit" is also interesting because it offers more background and examples, however this Workbook stands up perfectly well on it's own, another reason to give it a resounding five stars!

Anger Help That's Right to the Point

The Anger Habit Workbook is a useful companion book to The Anger Habit. It contains right-to-the-point instructions and exercises for cooling down anger, owning anger as your own problem, reducing righteousness and how to identify and reduce control problems. Especially helpful are the "lessons" on criticism, judgmental thinking, and self-importance. Unfortunately, the gem of the book, the treatment of hurry as anger, is hidden in the twelfth chapter instead of up front where it belongs. In using this books with clients I recommend this chapter third rather than twelfth where it is in the book. All of the chapters are pretty independent from one another so that individuals or classes can pick and choose those topics they want to work with. This book, along with The Anger Habit, is going to be around for a long time.
