Summary: Makes Sense, Actually Works!
Review: A practical guide to dealing with the issues in life that keep us from reaching our full potential as human beings. In Dr. Puff's book, he provides straight forward explanations of the causal relationship between what has happened in our past and its connection to the present. His recommendations for managing the stress in our lives revolve around activities that promote healing and health. Dr. Puff's focus on breaking the cycle of abusive behavior towards ourselves and/or others is particularly helpful for those who struggle with feelings of guilt and shame. The information presented gives simple, yet effective recommendations in dealing the situations in life that make us angry. I highly recommend Dr. Puff's book for its pragmatic approach to attaining emotional health through its emphasis on treating ourselves and others with dignity and respect.

Review: Dear Amazon:

Would you please fix the rating on my earlier review. I did not give my book a 1 star, I wrote my writeup for the editorial review section and somehow my comments were moved to the review section and given a 1 star rating. If you want to keep it there, please make it a 5-star or just remove my writeup.

Thank you.

Summary: Makes Sense, Actually Works!
Review: I found this book helpful, and enjoyable to read, so much so that I read the whole thing is one sitting! The premise of this book is that the way to "express your anger and still be kind" is to work-out your anger on your own before communicating it to others. this way when you talk to others, they don't get blasted with the full force and intensity of your anger. We've all heard the advice "count to ten when you're angry." This book goes far beyond that and tells you what you REALLY need to know. Not only did Dr. Puff convince me that being passive aggressive or making rude comments ultimately hurts ME more than anyone else, but he also offered the hands-on "here's what to do" advice that I was looking for. I actually tried some of the suggestions, and was able to work through and let go of a long-standing grudge. I enjoyed reading the personal stories, especially the one about Bob in the section People Who Don't Feel Angry, But Have Issues From the Past. I love that quote: "Quick forgiveness is often false forgiveness, and false forgiveness can be detrimental to the health (both mental and physical) of the one who practices it. In that sense, false forgiveness can be worse than no forgiveness." I am an artist myself, so I found it refreshing to see some creative alternatives included with the more classic kick-boxing or punching bag methods. I highly recommend this book. It's good stuff and fast reading.
