Finally, a book for laymen! This book bypasses all the psycho babble and confusing mental exercises. It's very easy to follow along with it and actually understand. It's a great read by itself, but when you combine the fact that it can be used as a step by step workbook, AND the awesome online program that has been designed around it (angermanagementonline.com) makes it invaluable. After reading this and taking advantage of the online program, I can honestly say that it changed my life and was well worth it. Thank you Kathy!

Stop Anger, Be Happy has truly changed the way I live daily. The book was easy to read and understand. When my anger was ruining my marriage and social life, I had nowhere to turn. Luckily Ms. Garber was there to help me through, with the help of the web site. Though not every day is easy, I feel equipped to handle what comes my way.

This book helped me the way I think and also assisted me in many other ways about life. It is a book that everyone should purchase and just read even if you don't have and anger problem. Anger is part of life, everyone deals with it in a different way. "Be Happy" breaks one's emotions down and evaluates how anger was developed. It's a great book that everyone should have on their shelf.
