Summary
Summary
Never Get Angry Again is New York Times and internationally bestselling author David J. Lieberman's comprehensive, holistic look at the underlying emotional, physical, and spiritual causes of anger, and a practical guide to what the reader can do to gain perspective.
David J. Lieberman understands that a change in perspective is all that is needed to help keep from flying off the handle. In Never Get Angry Again, he reveals how to see anger through a comprehensive, holistic lens, illuminates the underlying emotional, spiritual, and physical components of anger, and gives the readers simple, practical tools to snuff out anger before it even occurs.
Take a deep breath and count to ten. Meditate. Visualize your happy place.
You've probably heard all of these anger management techniques and more from friends, family, and experts, but somehow they miss the mark when it comes to coping with the complex emotion of anger.
Let's face it: if anger-management techniques were effective, you wouldn't be reading this book. These clumsy attempts to maintain calmness are usually futile and sometimes emotionally draining. The fact is, either something bothers us (causing anxiety, frustration, or anger), or it doesn't. A state of calm is better accomplished by not becoming agitated in the first place. When we fight the urge to blow up or melt down, we fight against our own nature.

Library Journal Review
Lieberman, PhD (How To Change Anybody; Make Peace with Anyone), believes that in order to conquer fiery fits of uncontrollable anger or rage, a person must permanently reorient one's perspective. To do this, Lieberman first describes the psychological dynamics of anger and human nature before offering the tools and techniques to offset the emotion. He discusses self-control, acceptance, and a trust in God that helps one develop self-love, make peace with the past, and evoke new behaviors in the future. Additional suggestions range from setting boundaries to talking to people who won't listen. VERDICT An essential instruction manual for anger management, but also a detailed work on how to get along with other people. © Copyright 2017.
