3.0 out of 5 stars The technique works, but the book is boring !, October 21, 1998

By A Customer

The book says that you try to fight with your anger rationally. When you are angry, try to convince yourself that it's not "logical" to be angry over this issue. When something goes wrong, you should feel disappointment, not anger. The technique worked for me. But the book is written in a very boring manner. The same ideas are repeated 3-4 times throughout the book. So if you've read 2 chapters, there is no need to read more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lose your Anger. I did., August 28, 2002

By A Customer

Although this book can get a little ponderous, it flipped a switch in me. I was one of those guys who got pissed at everything. By page 60 I was able to recognize the things that were making me angry, and not let them set me off. If you find that you are frequently irrationally angry, get this book. I can't begin to tell you the difference it made for me.
