I have just started my journey of healing and this book was one of the good ones. I could identify a lot of “me” in this book. Having to learn how to express one’s anger in a healthy way is not an easy thing to do. This is one of the book’s that I believe helped me on my journey.

Although I could relate to a lot of the anger problems that can come up in relationships (such as trying to control the other person), I didn't relate to the examples.

I really liked this book and the principle that it teaches: anger begets anger. I need to stop mine and replace it with happiness.
