Synopsis

A revised and updated edition of the popular self-help book for men that addresses contemporary issues and how they impact the way men deal with anger

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. In this revised edition, Harbin will update references throughout and discuss new topics such as the role of the internet and social media in fueling anger and how to protect yourself against these pitfalls, as well as a discussion on anger and aging, the political landscape and anger, PTSD, a brand-new section on preventing relapse into anger, and many other relevant, timely topics.

Por momentos, un poco repetitivo, sin embargo es un impresionante libro de autoayuda para hombres con problemas de enojo. Lo que lo hace diferente a otros libros similares (y, en mi opinión, mucho mejor) es que decide confrontar la raíz misma del enojo característico de los hombres: su masculinidad.......more

Goodreads review by Jared on August 22, 2020

I picked up this book because I tend to be impatient and let little, stupid things annoy me sometimes, but unfortunately that is not the target demographic that Harbin is preaching to in this one. After reading the first chapter or two I could immediately see that this is directed at men who are bei......more

Goodreads review by Adam on February 24, 2019

I really enjoyed this book. It is an easy read with straightforward examples to help the reader recognise anger in himself. It doesn't sugarcoat its messages either, being absolutely clear on the need for men to take responsibility for their anger, and that violence is NEVER ok under any circumstanc......more

Goodreads review by Dave on June 27, 2021

I can understand the perspective of those who say this book is sexist, and there is a valid point about some of the statements he makes. It seems to not have been updated in a while, cultural norms have changed for the better. However, in terms of practical advice and routes to better emotional and......more
