Publisher's summary

"Shoshanna extends an empty and richly filled hand, offering both the sublime and the practical," Publishers Weekly once noted of Brenda Shoshanna, PhD. Now Shoshanna unites the sublime and the practical once again, this time to show us how to rid ourselves of anger and become immune to its toxic effects in a new 30-day program called The Anger Diet.

Road rage, school shootings, workplace violence, domestic abuse, drug addiction, and even the national obesity epidemic are manifestations of an overarching problem gripping our society: anger. Other books about anger are on the market, but this is the first and only "diet" from anger: a practical, step-by-step 30-day program designed to help listeners cleanse their lives of the toxic effects of anger. As Dr. Shoshanna points out, "It is one thing to have an intellectual understanding of what is harmful. It is something else to know how to actually get rid of anger in your life."

The Anger Diet is the book that bridges the gap between intellectual understanding and practical action. The practical actions correspond to the 24 forms of anger, many of which are hidden; each form is identified and addressed in its own chapter. Each day listeners are asked to give up one form of anger and are given a replacement for it. One chapter per day, one day at a time, listeners will learn how to loosen anger's hold on their lives and gain greater happiness, health, and peace.

Great information

it really gives a person something to think about. there are some good tools provided in this book.

Fantastic

This book will change your life, if you let it.
Depending on how angry you are deep down inside, it's definitely challenging. If you are willing to take a hard look at yourself and change, it will take a lot of work and self-care.

Excellent suggestions

This had so many thoughtful and encouraging exercises. This is a book I will listen to many times over. Thank you.

Good Boom

Lots of useful information as long as it is practiced and applied to your daily life.

Helpful ! a Staple ...

This book is great. The only critique I have is that in some areas the solution given is stated matter of fact . An example “forgive your family “ I think if there’s a dysfunctional situation that hurts you the solution isn’t just make up. Maybe you can’t or don’t want to. I get the premise of forgiveness, but to forgive doesn’t necessarily mean to search the person out and have a dialogue. It should be done in you. Despite that this book will be one of my future references .

Letting go of Anger

This is the second time for me to go through the 30: days. It amazed me how pervasive anger has infiltrated my life. This book provides a filtering process to start becoming clear. Let go of the anger and share the LOVE!

skip it

I did not want it but they put it on my list anyway,unnecessary book.

Misrepresentation?

Nowhere in the description or sample did it happen to mention that this book (written by a doctor) was based on religion. I would have never purchased it if I had known. Less than 2 minutes in, you hear about how the world is mad at god and a bible verse. Fair warning to anyone interested.
