5.0 out of 5 stars
Under stress,
By A Customer
This review is from: Anger Kills (Mass Market Paperback)
The quiz in chapter one about "Am I at risk" may have saved my life. I never realized how harmful stress was on the human body, and when I took a close look at my life and attitudes I knew I was in trouble. The book is easy to follow and that helps keep the anger level down. I recommend reading Rat Race Relaxer: Your Potential & The Maze of Life also.

An Easy-To-Use Guide,
By
This review is from: Anger Kills (Mass Market Paperback)
ANGER KILLS is a user-friendly book that combines practical skills with sound background information--starting with The Hostility Questionnaire in Chapter One "Am I At Risk?" which helps the reader identify her levels of Cynicism, Anger, and Aggression. The chapter also details two other methods for identifying danger levels of anger, The Hostility Log and The Hostility Roadmap.Chapter Two "The Facts About Hostility" discusses the various important studies done not only on "Type A" people and behavior but also the medical evidence of the health risks of anger. Chapters Three though Nineteen give one each of the 17 strategies, including: Reason with Yourself, Distract Yourself, Meditate, Avoid Overstimulation, Assert Yourself, Care for a Pet, Listen!, Be Tolerant, and Laugh at Yourself. Each chapter is organized into these sections: When to Use This Strategy, How to Use This Strategy, Why This Strategy Works, The ABCs of [e.g., Reasoning with Yourself], and Exercises. It is obvious that ANGER KILLS is a labor of love as well as expertise. The Doctors Redmond (a husband and wife team) use examples from their own lives (not just the lives of their patients/clients) and relationship. Their writing style is clear, easy to follow, and empathic. Throughout the book, cartoons and quotations are used to illustrate key points. On the expertise side, he is director of behavioral research at Duke University Medical Center, and she is an author and historian. ANGER KILLS is an easy-to-use guide to helping one's life become both healthier and happier. Kimberly Borrowdale - Under the Covers Book Reviews

Anger Lives,
By JoAnna Carey "Author of RAT RACE RELAXER" (Grand Rapids, MI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Anger Kills (Mass Market Paperback)
Anger Kills is a good read for anyone who faces an environment where anger lives. Our culture sometimes glorifies anger and violence but this book details the many faces of anger that readers may encounter. The authors make it easy to see how expressed AND suppressed anger may be affecting you and your relationships.Logical advice is presented as 17 "survival skills" that include topics such as: Reason With Yourself, Meditate and Assert Yourself. But the life prolonging advice doesn't stop there, Anger Kills also illustrates how to deal with your own anger and the anger of others while you work at making positive changes. I liked the message in Anger Kills so much that I included it in the suggested reading list of my own book, Rat Race Relaxer: Your Potential & The Maze of Life by JoAnna Carey.
