Dealing With Anger" was featured on the SALLY JESSE RAPHAEL SHOW in New York!

Earlier this year, the author Sandy Livingstone, was invited on the show "I'm Afraid of Your Rage" as an expert guest and offered valuable observations and advice to families struggling with anger issues. Sandy's sensitive approach is also reflected in the book and her down-to-earth style of writing has made this book so popular.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Look for a second printing of "Dealing With Anger" to be coming out before Christmas! It has a fresh new look but maintains the trusted "reader-friendly" approach to finding workable answers to anger management problems.

This book is a "must" to give as a gift to friends, workers, loved-ones, or to yourself! Your experience with anger will change for the better after reading this book. Sandy speaks from the heart and has helped so many people understand and deal with anger in an empowering way.

From the Author

Dealing With Anger was deliberately written in simple, straightforward language yet it is an extremely comprehesive exploration of anger as it relates to a variety of topics. I encourage readers to go slowly. Changing thoughts and behaviour takes both time and commitment. You may find it helpful to read through it once and then go back and work through the exercises. Clients have told me that they bring issues for discussion as an adjunct to therapy sessions. It is important to do what works best for you!

5.0 out of 5 stars When I lend it, it's hard to get my book back!, August 27, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Dealing with Anger (Paperback)

I enjoyed this book because it was an easy read, not full of clinical jargon. Quite often I find self-help books to be written as "them and us", but this book does not present that way. I found it humourous, informative, easy to understand and very helpful for my anger management problems. It deals with real people and real issues that we all face at one time or another. My teen-age daughter read it and enjoyed it a lot. It allowed us to speak to issues I was not able to address in the past. I particularly liked the "move at your own pace" format. You can pick up this book at the end, the middle or the beginning and still get the answers you need. It challenged me a lot and this lead to self empowerment and personal growth. I would recommend this book to anyone who is experiencing communication or interpersonal problems because anger is usually at the root of these problems. GREAT BOOK!

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is really practical and easy to understand!, June 27, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Dealing with Anger (Paperback)

I like this book because it does not tell you what to do, but guides you to understand anger. You can work through your own issues at your own pace. My teenage daughter is using it as well. I have another friend who has a daughter in her early twenties and is a single mom. I gave the book as a present and she says the information is helping her deal with her three-year-old's temper. The book gives practical tips for positve discipline techniques too. The author is down-to-earth and talks about all kinds of issues related to anger. I especially like the questionaires and self-help quizzes. Great book!

2.0 out of 5 stars Too simplistic and repetitive, October 29, 2002

This review is from: Dealing with Anger (Paperback)

This book says the same 3 things over and over again: no one can MAKE you angry, anger is a natural feeling, and you have the power to control your anger. All this is well and good, but it doesn't go more in depth than that. I found this book and its "solutions" rather trite.
