What I love about the book the most is its hands on approach to tracking, understanding, and managing the anger without spending a ton of money. Not everyone has the same degree of anger and sure in some rare circumstances it could come in handy but for the most part it’s not a very effective emotion to have especially if it’s not properly controlled and channeled. This book doesn’t get all touchy-feely either, which is another huge bonus. Nothing makes me angrier than a book that gets all touchy-feely. Easy, easy, breathe… Ah see now I’m calmer already. Pick this book up if you feel like you could use a little practical help in this arena but you’re not able to get out of the house for long sessions or spend a bunch of cash. This book emphasizes techniques that are relatively simple and beneficial allowing you take charge of the situation without depending too much on outside sources. There are some outside sources mentioned but what I like the most is this doesn’t subscribe to the pill taking calming techniques that are completely unhealthy. They even mention Rolfing, which when I first read it I thought, sure rolling on the floor laughing will help put you in a better mood, but if you’re already in a bad mood Rolfing might prove difficult. After reading further I realized and learned that Rolfing is a form of tissue manipulation performed by a licensed Rolfer, of course that sounds funny to me so I’m already in a better mood. Aside from a group session or spending some time with friends or even counseling some aromatherapy and some stretching and breathing will most likely do the trick, not a ton of outside influences and it’s a lot cheaper than getting a lobotomy.
