Even though I've been through a great healing process with severe depression, I only recently began therapy for incest abuse. My anger and depression was incredibly awesome and needed direction. This book helped me understand the why's and how's of recognizing, understanding, and expressing my anger--and all of my emotions. I highly recommend this book! I'm discussing the procedures covered in the book with my therapist as well! I feel less isolated after reading it. Thank you, Bill!

This is a good book if you struggle with anger. the book is easy to read though I must admit that the diagrams in the book are hard to follow at times. I liked best the fact that the book made good effort to link the source of your anger to the past or wherever it is coming from. The book took me a step closer to overcoming anger.

This book will teach you the nature of anger, how you can accept it, how you can use it, and it will teach you how to stop losing your temper! It's the best book on the subject I've ever read. From page one you will start to heal. Buy this book!!!

I can't really recommend this book. Like many non-fiction books it's very repititious and doesn't really offer insight. Never quite gets to the crux of the matter. He puts together very complex charts for simple concepts that did nothing but fill pages. I found the techniques so commonplace as to not be useful.

This book has easily helped me to identify where some of my anger comes from. Dr. Defoore uses stories and real-life examples to help readers understand what it is they are going through. I never would have thought of my anger as grief. I lost a great friendship to a narcissistic and controlling individual, and didn't realize that my anger at that person was grief for the lost relationship until I read this book. I keep it by my side when I am feeling angry and consult it many times to make sure I am not harming myself or others around me more by my actions.

Defoore is straight-forward and honest. He says in the beginning that a mere book will not fix the problems of anger. He suggests that the reader go to counseling along with reading his book. It is great advice. This is definitely a great read, one that does not bash on one's beliefs or their nature. A great find and one that I will keep by my side for many years to come.
