Book Description

August 3, 2006

How do you express your anger? Do you blow up? Quietly seethe? Or do you try to pretend that you're really not angry at all and just hope the feelings will go away? Most of us express anger in more than one way, but we also tend to be creatures of habit, falling back on a few predictable styles when we feel angry. Unfortunately, while some styles are appropriate in some situations, others are not-and consistently using an inappropriate style is a sure way to find yourself saddled with a huge anger problem.

This book examines the eleven most common styles of anger expression and helps you learn how to communicate your anger in healthy ways. Learn which anger styles work for different situations-and which ones lead to certain disaster. Find out how to become more flexible and creative at expressing your anger. Once you understand the whole range of anger styles, you'll be able to better manage angry feelings and use your anger as a positive force for building a better life.

5.0 out of 5 stars What's Your Anger Style?, December 6, 2006
This review is from: Letting Go of Anger: The Eleven Most Common Anger Styles & What to Do About Them (Paperback)
I was pleased to find out about this book from a review in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. It categorizes anger into anger styles and tells what to do about them. A quiz with 30 yes or no questions helps you figure out your style.

Many of us have learned unhealthy ways to deal with our own anger or that of others. The book advises letting go of our anger, and to clearly express our wants and needs. Don't just vent your anger, channel it to make needed changes. Maybe it's road rage or seething over an injustice or whatever triggers your anger, you don't want to lose control and let the anger rule you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for Troubled relationships!, April 11, 2007
This review is from: Letting Go of Anger: The Eleven Most Common Anger Styles & What to Do About Them (Paperback)
I read this book in 2 days. It was amazing and I highly recommend it for anyone 15 and older. The content is succint, thorough, and insightful. It addresses many types of anger and provides you with cues to when you might blow your temper and how to control rage. Then it will cover issues like hate and resentment found in people who bury their frustrations over time and how they start to resent someone becuase they are not releasing that anger. This book is excellent and my comments are trivial compared to the insights. Pick it up and you will be surprised. It is the one anger book I would recommend out of the numerous choices available.

Enjoy and learn!

4.0 out of 5 stars So, that's what I was feeling!, September 5, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Letting Go of Anger: The Eleven Most Common Anger Styles & What to Do About Them (Paperback)
On the advice of a friend, and during a particularly stressful period of my life, I read "Letting Go of Anger: The 11 Most Common Anger Styles..." I found it helpful to be able to identify what I was feeling and what to do to make me not feel that way any more. Since being angry (afraid?) is proven to have an effect on a persons overall health, I found this book to be very helpful in returning me to a homeostatic place. I have already loaned my copy of "Letting Go..." to another friend. This author has other helpful books on the same subject out there. I highly recommend them all.
