Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Men tend to express their anger differently than women do. Research shows men are often more violent and less willing to confront and deal with their emotions than women. Written by a psychologist who specializes in the treatment of male rage, Beyond Anger shows the angry - and miserable - man how to change his life and relationships for the better. This book helps men understand their anger by explaining what the specific symptoms of chronic anger are and by showing angry men how their actions negatively affect family, friends, and coworkers. It helps men control violent feelings by using simple exercises - developed especially for men - to identify when and why anger occurs and by helping them form new habits to prevent anger before it starts. Women, too, will learn essential strategies for understanding and helping the angry men in their lives. Beyond Anger is honest, tough, and real.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - long on wind, short on solutions
I bought this book in hopes of learning some good information in regards to anger management. While there was abundant anecdotal evidence, there was repetiveness and a lack of focus on solutions.

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - The first 78 pages are useless.
The first section of the book, an entire 78 pages are worthless. The author keeps repeating himself with one message: "You have an anger problem, you have an anger problem." Thanks Dr. Harbin, I wouldn't have picked up a book called "Beyond Anger" if I were not aware of this already! I have to wonder, is the author trying to annoy the reader into becoming an angry person? The second section finally gets to the point and tells the reader what to do about their anger issues. However, he brings ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Beyond Anger
This is an absolute must for any man with anger issues and a lot more men than you would think have them. The thing is a lot of men do stuff with their anger that is both profitable and creative....and therefore legitimate. Or is it? Read this book and then decide for yourself.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Super Fast
Have not got all that dug into the book yet. The shipping was amazing and got to me faster then anything else I have ever ordered over the internet!!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Book!
My husband found this book so informative and easy to read he read the book in 2 sessions. He could not put it down and he doesn't like to read books. Gave him a lot to think about and work on. I really think this book will be a turning point in his life. This book is great for anyone to read about the man in their life wheither father, son, husband etc.
