Beyond Anger A Guide For Men:  How to Free Yourself from the Grip of Anger and Get More Out of Life

    It's not a new idea that men tend  to express their anger differently than women do.  Years of research have shown that men - for many different and complex reasons - are often more violent and less willing to confront and deal with their emotions than women.  Now Beyond Anger shows the angry - and miserable - man how to change his life and relationships for the better.

    Dr. Thomas J. Harbin 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 co-workers.  He offers simple exercises - developed especially for men - that will help men to control their violent feelings, identify when and why they get angry, and to 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.

    Free of fancy doctor talk and complicated theories, Beyond Anger talks to men in everyday language and provides a wealth of important resources.  It is an invaluable guide for the many men struggling to come to terms with their inner battles and to take positive action, and for everyone who has an angry man in their lives.

Beyond Anger is:
 
1) Honest - Dr. Harbin has had to come to terms with his own anger problems, so he understands exactly what angry men are going through.
 
2)  Tough - This book doesn't let anyone off the hook.  It demands that angry men learn.
 
3)  Real - The book includes stories of angry men who have learned to recognize their problems and use the book's techniques successfully.
