This author has the very narrow minded view that there are only two types of people in the world, those who are angry and those who are suppressing their anger. I was looking for some guidance on how to cope with someone else’s anger, and my primary emotional problem is fear. I felt profoundly invalidated by this book, and was unable to finish it. See Susan Forward or Christina Crawford’s books for authors who are genuinely knowledgable and helpful about dealing with difficult or dangerous people.

This book had some stories that were interesting about relationships, but some of them seemed to get out of the ‘anger’ theme. Well, the main theme is that there is a dance, namely a pattern in anger in relationships and that usually serves to cover other hidden issues. The book gets kind of syrupy sometimes and that is why the 3 stars.

If you have already examined your life through any type of therapy, this book is not for you. I found the information to be very basic – geared toward people who have no self-esteem, or voice. The basic premise is to take responsiblity for your anger, and to be assertive.

was just a bunch of stories and told me nothing I didn’t know already. It was okay as a one time read but not something you can read over and over. Might be good for some but I wasn’t impressed.

This book came highly recommended to me. While I do agree with some of the principals, some of them are a bit hard to swallow. I think there are better ways to deal with anger on a must more realistic level.
