Short but helpful...

...in overcoming irritability. There are lots of useful tips, and I enjoyed listening to the author’s British accent.

Short and simple

I loved that this book was free of jargon, had simple examples to follow yet packed a lot of different techniques.
One would def need to listen to it repeatedly and make notes to practice on the daily. But rather than using the contemporary method of “big psychology words” this book uses everyday examples to drive the points across. I felt like a really caring grandfather is giving me advice rather than a Dr. Telling me what to do.

Simple and effective

Would you listen to Overcoming Anger and Irritability again? Why?

This book is not loaded with techniques to deal with your anger like deep breathing, it's more about noticing your anger and using your rational brain, instead of your primitive brain. By noticing your anger and shift in temperament by noting it in a journal, you get an idea of what sets you off. Just by noticing it and logging these things really helps. The book has much more details and examples and I have listened to it over and over again.

What about William Davies’s performance did you like?

The speaker has a great voice and accent that helped put me at ease.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Yes, the story about a person in prison for an act they committed while angry.

Great. I wish it was much longer!

Any additional comments?

I really loved it and there was so much content in such a little time. I wanted to know so much more of what he was talking about, please write a longer, much longer book or audio. highly recommended.

Awesome awesome book!

I already tried a few of the technics discussed and noticed my irritability has gone down and I am much more aware of my anger instances! I can't wait to fully implement all the techniques and be a better person. The voice is very clear, calm and friendly, perfectly suited for a book like this!

Good tools

not just for anger and irritability but for managing the day-to-day circumstances that may engulf your life. He gives great tools to be able to manage them and keep things in perspective

Speaks Too Quickly

Speaker speaks too quickly. Love the overview and the techniques. Must listen at least 2 times.

To the point and easy to apply!

What made the experience of listening to Overcoming Anger and Irritability the most enjoyable?

Simple facts about how the body and brian works. It's scientific but simple in this audio book with a pleasant voice.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Overcoming Anger and Irritability?

As humans we all possess the same hardware and it's how we use it :-)

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Diffidently some epiphanies and laughs!!

Short, simple, real--doable--advice

All the advice was reasonable and doable. The reasoning behind the advice was explained, too.
