Getting Over Getting Mad: Positive Ways to Manage Anger in Your Most Important Relationships

by Judy Ford

Is the stress of life getting you mad? It’s time for you to have difficult conversations with yourself and with those around you to overcome your anger.
Don't let anger run your life. We all have issues that weigh heavily in our lives. Living in constant conflict isn’t something that you were destined for. If anger is something that you’ve been having a hard time controlling, then this is the book for you. Judy Ford crafted this book to provide you with practical and reliable tips to help guide you on your journey from anger to peace.
Anger has its benefits. Throughout time anger has been something that people have wrestled with, and feelings of shame and guilt frequently tend to follow. But what if anger can be used to help you communicate better in your everyday relationships? Getting Over Getting Mad highlights all the places anger can occur―with self, with partners, with children and with work colleagues. Once you identify the anger you can use the tools in this book to help you talk through that anger.
Personal growth will come. When you’re feeling stressed or overwhelmed, holding onto and lashing out in anger doesn’t help those already difficult situations. Judy Ford teaches us that when we choose to recognize our anger and observe (not attack) our feelings, we can free ourselves from responding negatively. We can then improve our communication with those around us.
Getting Over Getting Mad can help you take steps

Fucking book was not good AT ALL!

[Wim · Rating 3 out of 5]

Interesting content, but horrible writing style. I did not finish the first part, but did like the second and third.

This book has valuable tidbits and expanations on how to let anger go, forgive those you love, and realize that the relationships you surround yourself with each day are more important that how you feel at a particular moment. Very nice book that gives examples of how to interact with friends, lovers, kids and co-workers.

This is a great book that actually was a pretty easy read that helped in getting me to understand the underlying issues w/ anger. I found it to be really helpful considering the different way they describe things in order to have tools to use to help w/ this.
