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

Summary: Lots of hype, little help!
Review: As dangerous as the power of anger is, it is a shame that this book sugar coats the issue. He doesn't tell how terrible men's actions are when we are under the influence of anger. The emotion anger provides us with so much power that it scares the hell out of women and children. This same anger used to hill beast in the forest. We see this same anger energy on football fields. Watch out for my book in two and a half years.

Summary: An eye opening look at myself
Review: During my now second split with my wife of almost 13 years I have found myself looking at all the things about myself that I didn't really like. I have always known that I really didn't like myself mainly due to how mad and frustrated I could get over trivial items. To my amazement I have finally realized through much thought provoking reading that I am angry. I found so many examples of things about my life in this book. It helped me to open up my eyes to how much of a hold anger has had on me all my life. This book is definitely something all those overbearing fathers and husbands need to read. It is a great read for those sons that were made to feel inferior by angry fathers.
It is what I would call eye opening.
Take a chance and read this book.

Summary: A helpful guide to effective anger control and management.
Review: Harbin honestly presents steps to improve an angry man's ability to control his temper and become less angry. The book effectively pulls no punches by forcing an individual to take an honest look at how he behaves towards others and realize how he is perceived by others. The book was crucial in my understanding of how my anger behaviors hurt my family and it allowed me the courage to become a happier person.

Summary: Ex Smoker
Review: I expected the author's experience with his own anger and his experience as a psychologist to yield a book with depth, perception and some sensitivity.

Instead, I felt like I was listening to an ex-smoker.

This is great book if you have never done any work on your anger and you are seeking an "action-oriented" approach to anger management.

This is probably not a good book for you if you are also seeking a nuanced understanding of the underlying source of your anger. I am not a professional psychologist, so I won't comment on what I think that might be, but The Dance Of Anger (which is primarily for women) has a bit more depth and sensitivity and is quite relevant for men.

Summary: My Anger: A Weapon and A Wall
Review: I have waited for a book like this for a very, very, long time. Like the author, I also searched the bookshelves and I too only found the Dance of Anger - a book for women. I was upset that it was addressed to women only. Why couldn't she handle men's issues as well? So I waited. Unknown to me at the time, Mr.Harbin, the author was preparing his manuscript on this book. Like many men, I too am not willing to admit I have a problem that I could not handle on my own. For the most other problems, I dealt with successfully. But the problem of anger always had a way of surfacing and defeating me. I approached this book with the attitude that I didn't have such a 'bad' problem with anger. I said to myself that if it doesn't apply to me the worst I did for myself was waste $15.00 and four or five hours of reading time. And this was a very small price to pay for a risk. Maybe it was denial that was keeping me from reading this book. After reading the book I found it was denial. Is denial keeping you from reading this book? I was also afraid of losing a powerful asset- my anger power. After reading this book, I found a great and more effective power then anger. For me anger was "A WEAPON AND A WALL" which hurt innocent people and kept loving people away.

Summary: If You Have An Ager Problem...
Review: I never thought I had a real anger problem. Sure, I got mad, yelled, etc. on occasion. Who hasn't? Imagine my surprise that after waiting and planning for three years, my wife told me she was too afraid of my temper to start a family with me. That's when I decided I needed to try and change. I took the test at the beginning of the book and found that I was bordering on being an angry man. So many of the things he pointed out suddenly became very clear. After reading the book, I realized how much anger had hurt my wife, often without me knowing. I have never physically hurt her but my words did as much damage. It has been four months since I have read the book and I have not yelled or lost my temper, even once. I do not credit this book for all of this nor would I say it could work so well for everyone, but it really pointed me in the right direction. If you have been told you have an anger problem or if you think you might, I would highly recommend this book.
