5.0 out of 5 stars A good book for the honest, January 29, 2007

By	Michelle Duncan "michelle" (virginia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

No one likes to admit they have an anger issue. The truth is, in the world we live in today, their is anger all around us. I think that the stigma of anger is much like that of drug abuse, alcohol abuse, AIDS or any other "socially unacceptable" life trait. It is not something that we talk about or accept. Dr Gentry shows in this book how even a small amount of anger can take over your life if you let it. His easy steps that makes sense allow people to feel like they are normal. You don't have to be an angry person to read this book. It is based on practical life circumstances and I have found that it has helped me in not only a professional capacity in dealing with the general public, but those I work with, my spouse and frustration about the world we live in. I recommend this book to anyone who can be honest enough to admit that there is anger in every life and would like to deal with it through positive step-by-step applications.

4.0 out of 5 stars Anger Management For Dummies, May 27, 2007

By	Catherine Kimball (Greeley Hill, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Really good book. Very helpful, although some of the sections don't pertain to me at all. However, I realize author has to cover a general and wide spectrum of lifestyles, living arrangements and situations, so I give this book an A-. It actually has suggestions and recommendations that most people would be able to apply on a daily basis.
