Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons: A Novel

Fawcett, 2005

Angry Housewives Eating Bon-bons
I read through some of the other reviews of this book--interesting, 130 + and only 46 -. My husband and I both read lots of serious non-fiction books--we both (yes, even the man!) found this fun to read--and contrary to others, felt her characters were pretty well drawn out. I could "see" the book, like a movie in my head, and "knew" the characters. We are also on the other end of the ...

Scott Turansky, Joanne Miller

Shaw Books, 2002

#1 on my list of Top 11 parenting books- A MUST READ
This book is excellent. I gave a copy to everyone in my MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) group because I really feel this book is a must read book. Why? This book helps you as a parent to recognize the five basic causes of anger and gives you practical ways to help reduce your anger and use it wisely. In my experience as a parent, I was suprised by what my kids brought out in me- especially ...

Paul Hegstrom

Beacon Hill Press of Kansas City, 2004

the view of an angry man
An excellent book to help couples having anger issues. I was suprised to learn that I was angry (by definition) and that it is controllable (never thought so). It turned me round, made me face myself, in a similar way to an alcoholic.

When I Feel Angry (Way I Feel Books)

Cornelia Maude Spelman

Albert Whitman & Company, 2004

A simple yet powerful book
I purchased this book for my 4 year old son. I found it to be very well written and illustrated. As a School Psychologist myself, it's not always so easy to come up with the words when it involves your own child. However, I've seen a lot of books and this one just seems to work and the phrases and remarks seem to "stick" with my little guy. It's well priced through Amazon too because I first ...

Reginald Rose

Penguin Classics, 2006

an amazing dramatic experience
Based on Reginald rose's teleplay, which then became an Academy Award nominated film, TWELVE ANGRY MEN is dynamite listening. The cast is stellar, including Dan Castellaneta (remembered for the voice of Homer Simpson); Jeffrey Donovan (to be seen in Sundance's Come Early Morning); Hector Elizondo (Pretty Woman and the Princess Diaries); Robert Foxworth (who played juror #3 on Broadway); James ...

Sandra Boynton

Workman Publishing Company, 1987

C is for CUTE!!!
I bought this for my 3 year old son and he loves it, as do my other kids, 5 and 2. The kids love the silly animals doing silly things, Sandra Boynton's trademark. There is an animal and an adjective beginning with each letter. I like that there are negative emotions sprinkled in-- ever get sick of kid's media being either all sweetness and light or all obnoxious backtalk, with no real life ...

Straight forward and insightful.
I read this book to better understand my now ex-boyfriend. It helped me to not take personally his actions and gave me understanding and empathy. It will help a loved one of BPD to listen and react in ways that can help facilitate the journey to recovery. Although the book could not save our relationship, I am hopeful because he is now reading this book. The book offers steps to recovery through ...

Great Children's book
I've read this book with elementary aged children who had difficulty dealing with their anger, and they love it. It's short and to the point. I would recommend the book for ages 2-8.

You Can't Make Me Angry

Paul O.

Capizon Publishing, 2003

Just led a men's Al-Anon meeting...
... centered on Paul O's book. If I could only keep one of all the books I've read on sobriety, growth, and maturity, this would be it. Writing at the age of 82, Dr. Paul shares a lifetime's worth of hard-won lessons in simple strong prose. His candor about wrestling with his own faults helps me see him as a flawed but determined fellow traveler, instead of some perfect guru. Dr. Paul ...

Deals the Best with Anger
this is an excellent guide for discovering and chipping away at that anger following the healing way of 'go the way of least resistance'..in Alcoholics Anonymous the philosophy tells us 'resentment is the #1 killer we can't afford' but anger isn't resentment..anger turned inward is depression..repressed anger explodes into killer resentment which hurts everybody..insane anger is but a symptom of ...

The Angry Child: Regaining Control When Your Child Is Out of Control

Timothy Murphy, Loriann Hoff Oberlin

Three Rivers Press, 2002

great advice
Thanks for such a handy resource parents can learn from. I find Congressman Murphy, being a psychologist, has some helpful insights for parents, especially when he says the answers rest in everyone's houses, not state houses or within the federal government. In fact, he said the same things recently in a television interview. I'd recommend this book for its common-sense discipline strategies ...

Key Solutions for A Critical Parenting Issue
In a few minutes of watching the local news on television, you can see the results of living in an angry world. On the television those results seem far removed from our current family situation. Yet each parent needs the coping skills in this book from psychiatrist Dr. Ross Campbell. As Dr. Campbell explains in his introduction, "No one can rightly handle anger without being taught. The ...

Why Does He DO That????
This was one of the finest learning books I have ever read / studied. I have already lent it to two people and have recommended it to five or six others as a "must have" for their libraries. When I was a psych major in college, 40 plus years ago, "abuse" was not a topic. I'm glad that this now is being addressed. When I was "browsing" among the self-help titles in the listings, this book ...

Adam Mansbach

Race relations needed this
I'm a teacher working in a predominantly urban environment, and in Macon I see so many of the kids in my school. I've recommended this book to every colleague who will stop long enough to hear me rave about it. Mansbach's words and characters (none of whom are given short shrift) got so deeply into my head that as the conclusion hit me, I was overcome and wept. I was truly disturbed by this book, ...
