This book is so much more than just anger management! Judy Dyer addresses many social situations that people deal with on a daily basis and teaches you how to navigate them effectively. Everything is covered from conflict in romantic relationships to work drama and even parenting strategies. I enjoyed how it covered letting go of grudges, growing your emotional intelligence and dealing with difficult personalities also. There was a lot of useful information for someone such as myself who does at times struggle with anger but also for someone who finds their emotions well controlled.

When I initially read the title/synopsis I imagined this book would only focus on how to control anger and outbursts. It did do this (and I will be implementing the techniques I have learned) but it also left me feeling better informed about managing stress, jealousy and boredom.

This book was straightforward and short. It lists steps numerically to simplify things and would be a great resource for anyone looking to grow emotionally.

Anger Management by Judy Dyer
I found this self help book extremely well written with great information that also advises additional help by a doctor and or a therapist is recommended. The author offers a positive and intuitive path to recognizing and understanding our experiences and feelings. With recognition we can understand and pin point triggers and learn how to make situations less stressful and upsetting.
The examples and exercises are easy to understand and follow. I definitely would recommend this book and I will look for more books by this author. Happy Reading♥️

Now I know why I should have read something about anger management a long time ago ...
... but believing in the truth of it's never to late to learn something new, I am glad that I read this book!
I learned a lot about how and why I have turned out the way I am (without needing a label or to blame my parents) which gives me a better understanding of myself and how I have changed and how I can change even more for the better.
The exercises were short and easy for me to do ... as I was reading through the book, events and situations came to mind in my thoughts naturally.
I now understand and appreciate the difference between healthy and pathological anger as I never thought of it this way. I thought that all anger was bad.
I also never put together my experiences of anger and the common thought distortions that are talked about in CBT and I do suffer from many of the common ANTs!
Chapter 4 was particularly useful and true for me and using the tools and techniques here have already helped my fiance and I communicate better with each other.
I also love the RAIN technique as it is a good reminder for those moments when I forget about practicing mindfulness.
As far as forgiving others and letting go of grudges chapter, this is something that I still need to work along with Dealing with Difficult People and Handling Anger at Work - sometimes for me it is a case of "I'm not ready to make nice" as the Dixie Chicks sing!
The bit about parenting and taking a bathroom break made me laugh as this is one I use a lot in my life! I used to do veterinary locum work and one of my favourite practices in BC, Canada had a disabled toilet that meant my feet didn't touch the ground when I sat on the toilet - this used to make me laugh everytime I went in there for one of my breaks; I could often hear other members of staff asking "where's Vicki" and someone replying "she's probably hiding in the bathroom"!

Judy Dyer's book, Anger Management, is a quick read, to the point, yet thought provoking. She presents her ideas in a simple and concise way, yet covers a lot of ground - outlining causes of anger, consequences, and practical things you can do to help change your anger habits. My own anger habits are not explosive, but I've seen how they're tied to my energy and immune system tanking, so I'm always open to new ideas that could help. The beginning of Judy's book almost put me off, because she emphasizes extreme anger habits, but all that she covers later in the book applies to habitual smaller reactions too - irritation, overreactions to little things, taking things personally, miscommunication, etc. The book doesn't go into research on anger, or detailed explanations of the physiological responses - her book is much simpler and more practical. Several of her suggestions for tracking anger cycles, processing reactions, and practicing useful communication/life habits were new to me, despite having read other books on anger. I appreciated that her book was easy to read and well organized, which meant I was able to take it all in without feeling overwhelmed, and can now decide what to focus on. Each chapter ends with a summary, with important points listed, which I will find useful. I think this book would be especially helpful to anyone wanting an introduction to anger management, or as a reference/reminder for anyone in the process of working on anger issues.

I just can't finish it. I don't feel it really does any coaching, just technically textbook quiz teaching. I couldn't finish the book, but got half way through. I gave it two stars because nothing she said was incorrect or damaging, it just wasn't really helpful. I feel It was only useful for people who are completely blind to how anger can creep up and anger can look differently in different situations. I feel you have to be pretty dense to not kind of get what was going on already. Plus the stuff she did teach on that was new information, it didn't actually help the situation, it just gave you more technical knowledge.

I do appreciate her bringing up the proof how venting is not helpful. A lot of people try to act like venting or "bottling" up is bad, But venting leads to more frustration and not being in control of your emotions actually leads to more anger and outburst. Refraining is different than bottling up.

Positive Read That Emphasizes Hope
by Charlie111

This book is well thought out. It speaks about how anger affects your mental health and relationships. It has tips on managing stress, conflict reduction, forgiveness, parenting and best of all mindfulness techniques. You know a book is good when you apply one of the techniques to your own life and you see results. My overall conclusion of this book is that it you don’t have to stay in the dark, alone with your anger, reach out for help because there is always a solution. If you have HOPE then you can take control of your mind and body back. Thanks for the insightful book Judy.

Do you have an anger problem? Judy Dyer provides a good guide for working through your anger. If we're going to get it under control, we begin by understanding what lies beneath the anger problem. Here we get a good explanation of what is happening in us when we get angry. In this book you'll find anger explained in real life. Learn methods to improve. See how it can impact a variety of relationships. I love how it's acknowledged that difficult people will always be around us. Be prepared for them instead of controlled by them. This book will benefit all who read it.

Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned - That's all what the book is all about. There are times when I lose all control of my emotions, they explode without warning, and there is absolutely nothing I can do to stop the flow. But this book gave me the way - to control my anger. Absolute Gem - Read it once, and you will read it again and again

Is this a book I would have chosen on the shelf of a book store? Probably not. I don't need to manage my anger. Would I have missed out? YES! This book reveals that anger, as an emotion, needs to be understood, made aware of, and dealt with. The author provides us with options such as practicing mindfulness to examine why we are angry and how to refrain from destroying relationships. Anger Management is a handbook for excelling in business as well as personal relationships.

Helpful

Well, this book has made me feel better. Some interesting points, some things which I already knew, but it's nice to be reminded and hopefully I'll be able to actually implement them. I see this book having a lot of rereadability.

It was ok, not groundbreaking but kind of a nice summary of some ideas for managing anger until Chapter 11. How to handle difficult people....at which point Mx Dyer describes the most common types of "difficult people". Ugh

Waste of time

Mainly about how to deal with relationships work in grumpy people this doesn’t address how to deal with your own irritability telling you to avoid annoying people doesn’t help and either the jacket or the blurb tells you that it is mostly about dealing with other people… In fact the subtitle is completely irrelevant to the book

This book was a wonderful experience to be an observer of all the drama unfolding within you and with the world. Having been an angry person since childhood, I grew up not understanding why I get angry for all the little things. It's a discovery for me to understand the whole process of anger. Even though I have calmed down a lot since the last couple of years, the knowledge that this book gave helps me take notice of my explosive emotions sooner and streamline it to be used in assertive ways
