Summary: a refund please
Comment: If you want a book that's based on religion, not psychology and practical ways to deal with your anger (as I was expecting), then this book may be for you. If, like me, you want a book that deals with anger from a psychological/behavioural stand point, then look elsewhere, as (like me), you may be angered by all the biblical /God/Lord references in this book and find it better suited to kindling or the recycle bin....time for me to go find a 'real' book on this topic now....

Summary: The Anger Workbook
Comment:
The Anger Workbook is an excellent tool to use in groups
where persons have anger problems. This could be used in
recovery groups, prisons, and large organizations where anger
is a problem. I enthusistically recommend it!

Summary: Mis-lead
Comment: I work for a correctional institution doing therapy and assessment with inmates. My treatment team ordered this book thinking it would have good information to give to the men we work with. We were completely SHOCKED to find out that this book is Christian based! It says NOTHING about being religious based on the front, the back, or in any description. Yet, the book quotes the Bible and expresses explicitly Christian ideas. Because we work in a state facility, we can not use this book. The authors need to state clearly on the front of the book and in the description that the book expresses Christian ideas and is designed for Christian readers. We were very very disappointed!

Summary: Very helpful and not cheesy like most self-help books
Comment: I'm good at being angry. I make people laugh with my cutting sarcastic humor - unless of course, they are the target. I have the power in my tongue to both raise people up from the pits and turn someone inside out or become a flame-thrower and torch an entire room to a crisp. I also use anger in the gym and have built a strong body. But what this workbook is making me realize is that I could have humor, quick-wittedness, strength and muscles, etc. without the anger, especially the unbridled anger. It is teaching me where my anger really comes from and why it comes, what situations. I have already got 3 other friends who want the workbook - and I have to send one of them to Hawaii sometime this week. That's another thing I've noticed. I attract angry, sarcastic friends too. But I'm confident that after this workbook, I'll be able to help them to help themselves. I mean, as much as I like my anger sometimes, I've seen it nearly destroy me and my close relationships too. It's not a good friend to have. It can't be trusted and will let you down. It may be hard, but I'm learning how to say good-bye to my old friend anger. I know I'll still get angry, and I should at times because God gave us sense of right and wrong. But how I handle it will be different, and healthy. That's the key and that's what this workbook is all about.

Summary: Not great even for Christians
Comment: I am a Christian psychologist and bought this on the Minirth-Meier reputation. Having used it with several clients, I'm not impressed. First, it's pervasive Biblical answers without presenting them in ways palatable for non-Christians makes it a poor tool to use with anyone other than Christians. Secondly, the book's vocabulary is written at the college level. I have a Ph.D. myself and can easily read and understand it, but good communication uses the most commonly used and clearly understood words; why fill a book with long words and jargon when you're trying to communicate to a broad audience? Third, I thought the emphasis of the book was strongly tilted to subconscious or preconscious emotionally driven ideas, with relatively little presented on basic and practical anger managment tools and how to apply them in different situations. I applaud the authors' attempts to communicate anger management principles in light of Scripture, but am disappointed in how they put it together.
