Anger: the other side of Love


This book helps me to get think objectively about my anger. A bit near the beginning where you're supposed to say to yourself "I'm angry!" I'm angry at _______ because of ________. Even that first step helps me to get some perspective (and there's loads more afterward).




Con's:

The author doesn't seem to have his own experience of overcoming anger--he's a counselor/Bible teacher

A bit old-fashioned perspective, step by step seems a bit forced or too formulaic.

Pro's:

Good to be reminded about this stuff from Biblical perspective, Anger isn't wrong, perfection isn't the goal

He understands and mentions links to childhood, suppressing "squashing" anger
