I appreciated this book. Too often people come to anger with the idea it is bad or great but few take the true middle ground that it has its place but can be horrible if not used in its place. This gives a balanced approach.

This book was very easy to follow, with clear and practical lessons oh now to deal with hurts and anger. Understanding that anger is only the secondary emotion truly helps you take a step back to think and say what is the primary emotion I am feeling and how do I deal with it.
