Does what it says on the tin - By: Mel, 29 May 2008 
I found this an excellent source of information on anger & how to deal with it. As a trainee counsellor who is already working with clients I have used it as a framework for discussing anger problems & found the advice on how to re-appraise our habitual reactions to anger "triggers" was especially useful. I also liked the "leaky bucket" analogy, i.e. that if we don't keep topping up the bucket, the anger drains away. I would recommend the book to counsellors & self-helpers as it is very easy to read & follow. I do think the CBT approach is valuable for learning to manage what I would call "everyday" anger, but I think that there are people with "deep-seated" anger relating to wounds from their past who would need a different approach.
Excellent Series - By: Mrs. Anita Mcskimming, 30 Oct 2002 
This book is part of a series of books &in it's handy sized format is a good reference tool. Doesn't have all the answersin it & personally soon got bored of using it as things were hard to find.Although I will refer to it againin future.

A self-help book which really brings results. - By: , 03 Jul 2001 This book has certainly helped me to get less angry less often. With the help of real-life case studies, the author describes what happens when you get angry, why you may be angered by something that doesn't anger somebody else, & the difference between anger & irritability. In the second part you get a chance to put the theories into practice by keeping an anger diary & then analysing the incidents according to the trigger that makes you angry, the appraisal you make of the situation, & the beliefs behind the appraisal. After working through the case-study examples as if advising the peoplein them how to look at the situation differently, you get to do the same on your own incidents, which I found an enlightening, & sometimes painful, experience. I now find I get less angry if a similar incident occurs. I would thoroughly recommend this book.
