The Anger Workbook [Hardcover]

Lorrainne Bilodeau (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 1997

Get the better of your anger before it gets the better of you.

Someone blames you, berates you, fails you, talks behind your back. Sure, you're mad--but what good does it do you? Plenty, if you learn the lessons of this wise and practical book, which teaches how anger, the most destructive of emotions, can be put to good, constructive uses--if only it's recognized, understood, approached, and managed mindfully. An eye-opening how-to book on making the most of anger, The Anger Workbook combines the latest scientific research with provocative questions and exercises to take you to the very source of your anger, your attitudes about it, and your power to use it as a positive force for change and growth.

This review is from: The Anger Workbook (Paperback)

It is an interesting book. It is helpful for people who make negative self-evaluations. Not as helpful for those who adopt a god-like or self-righteous posture in situations when they are angry. While it could have been improved with more examples of how to alter inaccurate judgments about self or others, all the information necessary for being helped is there for anyone who cares to look.
