The authors present both an overall framework for controlling anger and a multitude of specific techniques you can use. This very practical book is written in a much more modern style than most of Ellis' previous books. If you want results and are willing to work for them, order this book--and start working. These methods work!

In order to take advantage of this book, you need to focus on the thoughts creating anger. That's the whole clue. The book won't tell you what to do with your emotions or feeling of anger because the whole point is thoughts create feelings, so change your thoughts and your feelings will also change by default. How do you change your thoughts? Read the book and you'll find out.

This type of self help can be used in all areas of our lives. It helped me take control of how I feel and how I express my feeling. If you get angry or depressed, these these techniques will help.

This book has a great therapy meathod called Rational Emotive Behavior Training that helps you figure out where your anger comes from and how to change your response. THIS IS A VERY EFFECTIVE BOOK AND I RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE WITH AN ANGER PROBLEM.

A waste of time, unless you're a specialist in the field of theoretical analysis of abstract concept...
Definitely the least interesting, least practical and most boring book on the subject out of 4 or 5 I've read...
There are much (much) better books on the subject!

I read this book primarily for two reasons. I am a nursing student and I have to do a review on this book, as well examine this book for myself. I thought this book had realistic ideals on how people handle their anger as well as what we feel. When it came to discussing the ABC's of anger it left me in a stump. When you write a book you should in lamins terms explain everything as if the audience has no clue in what you are talking about. I believe that in this book they wrote it as if we knew exactly what he was pointing out when in reality it was confusing. It helps there again point out views but it doesn't really lay it out in fine print on what to do with your emotions, and feelings of anger.
