There are many great and extremely helpful and effective exercises in this book. I would have given it 5 stars, however, one of the last chapters is about religion and spirituality, which, I am sure, definitely helps people with stress and anger. However, that chapter was pretty lazily written because millions of people have very good reasons to avoid organized religion, and it is not because they have anger issues. Furthermore, there are plenty of democratic, socialist, social justice, environmental, and humanist organizations all over the world that serve humanity in many ways, and can give folks a sense of spirituality, solidarity, purpose, fulfillment, and interconnections with their fellow humans, and nature, and they don't require believing in/submitting to a supernatural being, or surrendering one's self to rigid, top-down, hierarchical, patriarchal, racist, misogynist, homophobic, scientifically debunked, out-dated structures and belief systems. This is either lazy research on the part of the authors or worse, proselytizing. Still, I recommend every other chapter of this book.

Very readable and thought provoking. A bonus: wonderful quotes at the end of each chapter.

This is actually a really good book! I don't have anger management issues, and I kind of just happened upon this book and started flipping through it. Yet, I really enjoyed it and learned a lot.
