The Anger Management Workbook by James A. Baker
The Anger Management Workbook by James A. Baker
When counting to 10 doesn't cut it anymore
It Can happen to anyone. You get mad, really mad. Then things
start happening. The shouting starts. Doors get slammed. Something
gets broken. Someone gets hurt. If you--or your partner --have the
kind of anger that rages out of control, you're not alone. Many
people feel things deeply and react strongly to the situations
around them. But anger can become a way of life. When it starts to
affect your marriage, your job, your kids, or your own sense of who
you are, you know it's time to get help. If you're already visiting
a therapist, facing a judge in court, or getting written up by your
boss, it's still not too late. The information and techniques in
this book put you in control of anger and back in charge of your
life right NOW.
Beyond Anger has become my Anger Bible. I take it everywhere. When anger emotions and other issues come up.....I dig its pages for answers. Some pages are obviously more crinkled than others for obvious reasons.
In closing, when I learned that I had an anger issue and became accountable for it, I was ashamed and at times I would not admit it, hence I battled with correcting it. It was a terrible vacuum to fill for several months. Today I'm thankful and continue to pray that I have admitted it and am doing something about it and have friends supporting me in my journey.

Outstanding. I bought this book several years ago when I was in a constant state of irritation due to overwork and too little sleep, fueled by too much coffee. I tried to read it back then, but threw it down when the repeated stories drove me crazy :-) When I picked it up this year it all came together, making a remarkable difference in how I react to situations in overdrive. I recommend anyone picking up this book to give it a second chance if the first fails. And I highly recommend this book to those who are running their own businesses.

Taking
Charge Of Anger is a straightforward self-help
guide to learning how to experience and even use
anger without letting it take control. Licensed
clinical psychologist W. Robert Nay covers how
to identify and prepare for common triggers of
anger, learning how to dampen anger or identfy
and change thoughts that fuel anger, skills for
staying cool under fire, establishing new habits
for managing anger instead of falling back into
destructive old patterns, and much more. A "must-read"
for taking back control over one's life, especially
for anyone whose temper has cost them a job, a
great opportunity, a relationship, or more.
by Les Carter
The Anger Trap is a landmark book that strips away the myths and misconceptions about anger and reveals how you can learn to distinguish between healthy and unhealthy anger so that you may choose— or help someone else to choose— a better, more spiritually enlightened path. The Anger Trap examines the root causes of anger and can help you realize your patterns and break the destructive cycles of criticism, frustration, and irritation that hurt you and others around you. Drawing insight from timeless spiritual wisdom as well as cutting-edge research, Dr. Carter offers practical techniques to free you from anger, its hidden insecurities, fears, and selfishness and thereby improve the quality of your home and workplace life. The book clearly illustrates how the change process works and The Anger Trap is filled with real-life examples of the ways people have come to terms with their anger by applying the concepts Dr. Carter outlines.

I've
read a number of books on anger management over
the last ten years to try and help with being
irritable and too quick to anger. Most were not
practical enough and, even the ones that did offer
exercises, didn't seem to help in any lasting
way.
This book is different though. It approaches anger
from some directions that are completely new to
me. Because I now understand so much more about
the reasons I've been using anger I'm actually
finding I can control it! Because the whole book
is practical exercises (as opposed to the usual
"journal after the event" type thing
I'm used to seeing) it really helps develop your
understanding and skills while working through
it.
"The Anger Habit" is also interesting because it offers more background and examples, however this Workbook stands up perfectly well on it's own, another reason to give it a resounding five stars!

Too much anger can be costly, both physically and emotionally. Most kids and teens can use their anger in appropriate ways in some situations, and yet be ineffective in others. The Anger Management Workbook for Kids and Teens reduces levels of anger, especially in provocative situations. Kids and Teens will learn effective coping behaviors to stop escalation and to resolve conflicts. Graduated homework assignments allow participants to apply their newly acquired skills. The Anger Management Workbook for Kids and Teens employs the three major anger control interventions by using model presentations, rehearsal, positive feedback and promoting. The Workbook is designed especially for adolescents and pre-adolescents.
