A while back, I was lucky to get a hold of a book called The Authoritative Guide to Self-Help Books. The book is a result of a well-respected study that rates hundreds of self-help books/films/websites for various disorders such as depression, anger, obesity, anxiety, low self-esteem and so on to see if they deliver self-help. In the anger category, the only book found to be highly effective (5 stars) was the book I am reviewing.
This is the most concise book I've seen on this complex subject about 150 pages), but it's the essence of all I needed.
In my opinion, a self help book is good if:
1. It's simple, clear and free of psychobabble with a minimum of stories of non-existent humans;
2. It doesn't dwell excessively on the past no matter how sad, but rather encourages action to change;
3. The issues feel relevant and you see the application to your unique situation immediately;
4. It is scientifically proven to work. It does not promise you easy and quick results but realistic and common-sense;
The Anger Control Workbook is such self-help book.
It starts by teaching you how to relax on demand. Try to be angry when you are completely relaxed-it's impossible.
Relaxation is a skill that you perfect with 20-minute daily practice. You use this skill to temporarily calm yourself and buy time so that you can plead and reason with yourself not to act impulsively and cause an unrepairable damage.
Then, the book addresses your thought and belief system and helps to correct some of the distortions that are surely lurking there. Automatic and unnoticed distortions provide fertile ground for anger.
