Mindfulness for Anger Management: Transformative Skills for Overcoming Anger and Managing Powerful Emotions Paperback – November 6, 2018

Though I've actively worked to get a handle on anger issues for a long time, and separately with mindfulness, the blending of the two is insightful and healthy. This has provided me with some new approaches I foresee using going forward.

Readable and worth it.

This book is helping me learn a lot. When I'm upset I go to this book.

I got this for my mother so we can finally begin to bond again. It’s been very difficult with her for a long time and her anger was truly terrifying. So bad you feel like you need to nap for hours, draining. I love her to death, and that’s why I bought her this book (imagine how terrified I was gifting this to her! Lol). She has been reading it over and over, going to a therapist and she is actually showing slight progress! Remember slight progress is better than no progress. Mental health awareness is on the rise and it is time to normalize instead of suppress. Express instead of compress. One step at a time, one page at a time and they will get better! Anger can be an addicting feeling and it’s scary, but it is okay.

Great to use with clients ages 13 and up

As a clinical therapist who does anger management therapy, I may have looked at this book differently than the general public would. But I feel that reviewing it as a therapist would be beneficial. There's some good info, but its really nothing that isn't in every other book out there and available from a variety of places. The interactive "worksheets" included are very basic and I don't see them as being truly helpful. Another issue that bothered me is that there was little to no research mentioned or references used.I was a bit disappointed with this, and will continue to look for higher quality publications to use with my clients.

I have been struggling with my anger my entire life and I'm 44. I am away from my family due to my intermittent explosive disorder and I begin therapy soon. This book was an eye opener for me and I am looking forward to bringing my knowledge I've gained from this book to my therapy session as a base. I'm actually in a good state of mind and I have used the skills a few times but without any overwhelming anger. Which is a miracle to me. Thank you for writing this book and putting out in the world for people like me to stumble upon. It has made a huge impact on how I view myself and the people around me.Thank you so much,Robert

If I hadn’t read this book on-line, I would have probably underlined and starred every other page. Dr. Dansiger offers up an Anger Assessment Questionnaire pretty early on in the book, and I scored much higher than I would have guessed. This caught me off guard at first (I have more repressed anger than outward), but the good news is - if you continue reading - there really are ample solutions. Psychological topics are not generally easy for me to understand and I appreciate that the author has broken it down into manageable chapters (I especially like the “Emergency Tips” that are sprinkled throughout the chapters).The author clearly has studied the subject, but what sets this apart is the personal experience. I appreciate scholars, but even more, I appreciate scholars who have lived life and are practicing what they preach. There are many exercises throughout the book that are simple and helpful. Most importantly, by understanding anger a little bit better, I am less afraid of it - and that gives me hope. This book gives me hope.Anger Management has a nice balance of explanation, tools, and healing. I’m going to order a hard copy so I can underline and star to my hearts content.

Perfect
