5.0 out of 5 stars If you really want to control your anger, this is the book., November 28, 1997

This review is from: How to Control Your Anger Before It Controls You (Hardcover)

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Focus on the thought behind the feeling..., August 18, 2004

By	Ariha (San Jose, Costa Rica) - See all my reviews

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.
