Anger: Taming a Powerful Emotion

Insightful with some good case studies .. many tips can be applied on myself and others for managing anger related issues ..

Lot of things to take home and practically apply. Defintely recommended for all those who are struggling with anger. It will help you improve.

The book seems to be more of a religious book with solutions being offered in biblical way. The name of book should be Anger: Taming a powerful emotion The Christian Way.

The book is ok. Although I didn't exactly find the answer to my situation (being angry with a situation that I cannot escape or with a child who is too little to be confronted) I did find some helpful information. However what upset me is that the author designed this book for christians but failed to mention this fact in an annotation. Basically in every chapter he mentions god or cites the bible. What if I am not a believer? Does this mean that if handling my anger I decide to "let the offence go" I cannot do that because this step requires to confess my anger in prayer and turn that person to god? There are many examples like this in a book. Personally I was able to ignore this and somewhat adapt the information to fit me. But if you might have a problem with to much bible stuff either don't buy the book or be prepared to skip whole pages.

I only read the first 5 pages, immediately there are countless references to god, Christianity, the Bible, Jesus etc. This is religious preaching masquerading as help with anger. How can an educated man believe, or worst, preach that our anger derives from some all powerful entity that he calls god. Returned immediately for a refund.

What a great book. It gave me so much advice and helped me through a really tough time. It not only helps you to identify your own anger it helps you to recognise the anger in the people around you and gives to tips on how to address it. I would highly recommend it and I have done already.

This is a brilliant book, and really goes through many aspects of how to handle our anger and hurts in the way that is good for our relationships and showing love to one another. It explains the topic biblically so well too, and some prayers in there too. I really enjoy reading Gary Chapman's books, they are very well explained and realistic.

Didn't realise it a "Christian" book. Too many religious comments for someone who is not religious.
