I'm sure this is helpful, but..............2007-03-16
It focuses on men who hit women, not on men who need to deal with anger constructively. Just not what I was looking for.
Anger Busting.......2007-01-19
If you men with patience problems, contemptuous communications, etc. that equate to ANGER want simple advice and checklist type steps to help you gain control of 'flaw' in your personality, look no further.
If you ladies that care about/love a man with ANGER problems want simple advice and checklist type steps to help you help your man control the 'flaw' in his personality, look no further.
Simple to read and valuable for both genders.
I highly recommend it.
Excellent.......2007-01-04
Very informative and easy to read for both sides of an angry relationship. There are many scientific facts in this book that you wouldn't realize without it. Like the effect cursing has on the chemical reations in your body and how aggresive driving effects the rest of your daily interactions. It also tells the different types of angry men and which ones can be reformed and the ones to walk away from.
Sometimes anger is proper.......2006-07-18
Something that is missed is, sometimes you blow your stack when fully pushed to the wall with no recourse. Even a rabbit will bite in that situation. If this response is occasional, rather than a routine lifestyle, and results from the other person's dogmatic refusal to compromise while attacking your core values, it may indeed be the "other person's fault", or more accurately, you made a bad choice in mates.

unique.......2007-03-14
This book genuinely teaches you how to approach things differently, to understand why, and to enjoy yourself while doing it. I take my hat off to the authors, who after all are men. They could have kept this to themselves, and therefore held onto the power; but they didn't. Thankyou.
Its got nothing to do with either sex.......2007-02-23
OK I've read both kinds of books. The ones that say women are crazy and the ones that say men of jerks. This is of the latter. It tells women that basically what ever goes wrong in the relationship, it isn't your fault. It catergorizes men into certian types. I guess for some women they must connect with this. Being a guy it just irritated me and gave women more fuel for their fires. Likewise I would believe that many women are not pleased with the male books that point out the shortcomings of women. The solutiions to life will not be found in the pages of this book or any others. The problem is much deeper than that. Women and men are totally different, with different needs and different expectations. We need to recognize that. I am afraid that feminism has done nothing tohelp this fact. In the "good old days" women and men had predefined roles and we didn't have the same problems. Now you have 2 very different sexes vieing for equality. Equality on every level will never work because we are so different.
I admit it, I'm with Dennis Leary........2007-02-20
Before I read this book I thought I was pretty cool. Now I realize I'm just a big jerk. My life has no meaning anymore, I think I'm just going to end it. Thanks Joe!

Classic Oversimplification.......2007-01-12
I always love hearing suggestions like the ones in this book. The assumption coming in is that the reader bought the book because they have tried everything but the other person is still a "jerk". Unfortunately, it ignores the fact that a relationship is a two way street. There are certainly a number of cases where one person is completely (or mostly) in the wrong. However, is it not much more likely that both sides are not working together, and that both sides are indeed to blame? A husband may be a jerk, or a wife, and both sides would simply blame the other. It seems rather biased to assume that just because things aren't going well in a relationship that the man must be wrong, and the perfect woman must now employ these techniques in order for him to see the folly of his ways. It is classic revisionism that when the man is a jerk its his fault...however, when the women angers the man she is simply reacting to his awful behavior. Wake up people! Its not the womens fault when the mans acting terribly, but women its not the mans fault if you're acting horribly as well. Take responsibility for yourself and learn how to examine things from the other persons shows. That, rather then passive aggressiveness or blatant manipulation, is the real path to a stronger relationship and a more caring bond.
Stop trying to please that angry jerk! (and get out ASAP!).......2006-11-16
This book really saved my life when I was in a relationship with an angry, critical man and couldnt leave until I could afford to. It really helps you to stop trying to please them too. You cant make them happy or make them stop criticizing you. It's impossible. The best thing this book taught me is to stop arguing with them and instead - agree with them. You have to read it to understand how this works but it is so FUN and it gets them off your back!! It made my life so much more peaceful and tolerable. It is a very interesting twist on human behaivor and the effect of one person changing drastically and in turn the other person has no choice but to do the same. Helps you to take back your power, self-esteem and peace of mind. Dont let your "jerk" ever see it though! Make sure it is well hidden!
Book Description
From the earliest years of his marriage, Paul Hegstrom handled his problems and frustrations the only way he knew how: with fists and fury. Talking about the problem only intensified his rage. Going into the Christian ministry didn’t help either, the guilt merely magnified his despair. Facing a charge of attempted murder and a prison term, Hegstrom got the wake-up call he needed. With professional help and an intense struggle with spiritual issues, he began the lengthy process of healing and recovery. Through a fascinating, yet thorough examination of the psychological components of various types of abuse, along with true examples from his own life and others, Hegstrom points the way back to wholeness and freedom. An invaluable aid for the man who batters, the woman who feels trapped, and the pastor, counselor, or friend who desperately wants to help them both, Angry Men and the Women Who Love Them offers straight answers for those willing to overcome the cycle of violence. The revised and updated edition includes a new chapter that discusses the physiological and psychological changes in the brain when abuse occurs.

Excellent book! Paul Hegstrom Makes Things Perfectly Clear!.......2007-05-15
It was Dr. Paul Hegstrom's teaching that changed our lives forever. In 1994, we were struggling in a ten year marriage that had lots of problems including abuse and adultery.
Dr. Hegstrom's teachings began the miracle that we needed in our life and marriage. The next ten years of our marriage were so wonderful that in 2004, we wrote our first book on marriage, "The Man of Her Dreams/The Woman of His!" Dr. Hegstrom wrote the Preface to the book.
Let Dr. Hegstrom's teachings change your life!
Order this book today! While you are at it, look at ours by clicking on The Man of Her Dreams The Woman of His! and The Man of Her Dreams The Woman of His 2 - Livin' It and Lovin' It! (Volume 2)
These books are full of help from a real couple who overcame adultery and abuse to experience an outrageously happy marriage utilizing the principles of Life Skills International which was founded by Dr. Hegstrom.

the view of an angry man.......2007-01-12
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.
Angry Men and the Women who love them.......2007-01-11
The psychology in the book was excellent. I especially appreciated that it discussed both sides of the relationship. What I didn't like were the Christian references. It was very annoying and there were many pages that I completely skipped over because of the Christianity. If you can overlook Christian references then this book was very insightful and helpful to me.
A Must Read for Anyone Dealing With Angry People, Including Yourself!!.......2006-06-27
While in the bookstore at church earlier this year, my fiance at the time held up the book, Angry Men and the Women Who Love Them, and said, "Look at this." My response was, "I want that book. Please buy it for me!" which he did. I had been seeing a pattern of anger and rage in him, and it scared me.
This book absolutely opened my eyes to the root causes of anger, which is a secondary emotion. I grew up with an angry father and so did my fiance, who was incredibly wounded physically, emotionally, and sexually while growing up. What I found so helpful about this book is the discussion of the brain and what happens physiologically when we are physically, emotionally, mentally, and/or sexually wounded before the age of thirteen. The exciting news: It's fixable!!
A month after reading the book I signed up for a Life Skills class and committed to attending once a week for seven months. (The Life Skills organization was started by Paul Hegstrom when he found that typical anger management classes did not work for him and the rage he was dealing with in his own life.) I discovered that I have sought out angry men to date my whole life and did not realize I was doing it. I am a little more than half way through the class now and I can honestly say it is the hardest and yet the most rewarding thing I have ever done in my life. I am learning about myself, working through the pain of my childhood wounds, and seeing incredible hope for my future. Next to becoming a Christian, reading the book and taking the class are the best things I have ever done.
The book gave me the information I needed, and the class is giving me the support and the tools I need to experience healthy relationships with others and most importantly with myself. I find I have a lot more compassion for angry people, but I am also becoming a lot wiser and more discerning about how I interact with them. I highly recommend the book (a very interesting and easy read) and the Life Skills class.
Paul Hegstrom provides priceless insight..........2004-06-01
When we feel trapped in an abusive home / marriage, we feel afraid, isolated, and scared of knowledge. Knowledge calls us to take well thought out action and to make choices. This book shares the knowledge that both women and men need to break the cycle of abuse in the home. Mr Hegstrom provides priceless insight as to why we behave the way we do, how to change, how to build a proper emotional and physical bond as well as information on where to get help. If you read this book and are encouraged to grow, I recommend finding a Life Skills support group or another program so that you can begin your journey to a healthier lifestyle. This book is an important tool for married and single individuals both.Many women have shared with me that they wish they had received this pain preventative information before they were married. No matter where you are in life, there is hope and you CAN feel peace and joy again. I highly recommend this book and the Life Skills Program.

Book Description
"An extraordinary book, an extraordinary, frightening life. To be Polish without nation, Jewish without family, hunted down in a land at war - and to be a genius in the making - well, it's not the normal teenager's life. Mira Hamermesh sees past and present with a film-maker's flawless eye, in this shattering written memorial to those she loved and lost." -- Fay Weldon, Introduction
Mira Hamermesh is an award-winning filmmaker, painter and writer. This moving memoir gives a vivid account of her remarkable life. As a young Jewish teenager she escaped the horrors of German-occupied Poland with only her natural creativity, a rebellious spirit and a talent for good fortune to rely on. Of the millions of words written about WWII, few come from women, and even fewer recount such adventure. Spared the experience of the ghetto and the concentration camp that claimed most of her family, Mira's story is life-affirming account of a life lived to the full, and a meditation on survival and coincidence, that pays homage to other people's courage.
Recounting her escape into Soviet-occupied Poland, Mira shows how her status as a refugee has continued to influence her throughout her life. The journey led her across Europe and eventually to Palestine in 1941; her account of that region, before the establishment of Israel, provides a fascinating insight into the historical setting for today's conflict.
Having settled in London where she studied art and married, she eventually won a place at the celebrated Polish Film School. At the height of the Cold War Mira Hamermesh commuted across the Iron Curtain -- her experience of a divided Europe offers many insights into the political factors that affected people's everyday lives.
Mira's theme of political conflict, so often explored in her films, is brought to life here in an intimate account that will live long in the memory.

A truly extraordinary and emotional work. I had to pinch myself when I finished reading the book to remind myself where I was.

Customer Reviews:
A worthy read!.......2007-01-06
This book can be pretty depressing due to its focus on some pretty horrible behavior by certain men. But if you can brace yourself against the unflattering light put on many men in relationships with successful women, it's definitely a worthy read...If you can overlook the really egregious men in the stories, the descriptions of the more normal men and how their expectations in marriage can change over time, especially when married to successful women, could potentially be an eye-opening read. I'd highly recommend it.
A must read!.......2001-01-14
The first time I read this book it had a white woman on the cover dressed in corporate attire. After reading the first few pages I knew something was up...I checked the back cover, no author photo, hmmmm. I was sure it was written by one of our own, and sure enough, a couple years later when Bebe Moore's Fiction came out I put the name together. No one could tell this truth like a sistah. The written unadulterated truth. Why our men, no matter how often they claim to offer 100% support still are uncomfortable with their women having too much success. Successful Women, Angry Men is a serious must read for every woman, but especially the black woman, who has a legacy of being strong and independent. This book not only identifies the problems that arise out of two income households but also how to subjugate them before they start. Bravo MS. Campbell! And thank you to the publisher for bringing this book out of hiding...now, if we could just get a high powered sistah on the front cover, briefcase in one hand, cell phone in the other, we'd be in business.
Book Description
Are you tired of anger destroying your life, health, and relationships? Or perhaps you're upset and have held it in for far too long. Guess what-you're not alone! A lot of women are angry, and they're blowing it! They vent it on the very ones they love the most and desperately want to stop but they don't know how. This book interweaves powerful scriptural truths with practical, personal examples and prayer. Readers will learn to channel passionate emotions constructively. Anger is not wrong, it is how we express it and how far we take it that determines the outcome. For those really ready to be honest and get free, this book will light the way.
Customer Reviews:
Very Helpful!!.......2006-04-07
This honest and candid look at anger, it's manifestations and roots was so helpful to me. Even if you don't think that anger is a problem for you, think again - I didn't feel that way either, but it's so obvious now just in the way I was reacting in life,and I thank Lisa for being honest enough to share her personal struggles - it can be very revealing and embarrassing to come to terms with it, but honesty is the most effective way of helping yourself and others!! My kids and my husband benefited from it as much as I did.
A Major Help!.......2003-06-27
A friend who knows about my almost constant battle with anger, recommended this book to me a few months ago. I looked for it several times at Christian bookstores, but could never find it. But finally I did. I so appreciate Lisa's candor and transparency about her own struggles with anger. It made it feel like I'm not the only Christian who has ever struggled in this area. This book forced me to take a good look inside myself. I found I could identify with so much of what Lisa shared. Anger is still a daily struggle for me, but I have noticed a difference since reading this book. I highly recommend this life-changing book to any Christian woman who struggles, like I do, with anger. This is a book I intend to read again and again.
less angry than before reading, and getting better daily.......2003-01-03
I'd like to thank Mrs. Bevere, for making the information plain and straight forward. The imbedded anger roots are now being prayed about constantly. I think God revealed two men that I have a love/hate relationship as the root of the anger. But I am not sure and I am asking God to say it again so I know its not me, intellectualizing and rationalizing based on the examples of the book. I'm not cured, buy i am enlightened, i mentioned it to two of my friends who need copies of their own, mine is study material, i have to read frequently that I am not the judge. That is a hard one to break, i still feel it but i don't say it out loud or as frequently as i had been accustomed to criticizing and judging people. Thanks so much for the help.
God Bless the Beveres!

Book Description
Some mornings Annie's mommy helps her get ready for school and makes "hot, golden circles" of pancakes for breakfast. Those days her smiles are as bright as sunshine. Other mornings Annie's mommy acts like she has dark clouds inside and doesn't smile at all. Those days Annie knows she can call her grandmother, eat a treat from her "secret snacks," and think happy thoughts. But Annie always remembers that even when Mommy is angry on the outside, on the inside she never stops loving her. E. B. Lewis's luminous illustrations are the perfect accompaniment to Campbell's artful handling of this poignant story.
Customer Reviews:
crazy myself.......2007-06-26
I am a little resistant to the characterization of the mommy as angry/violent-- but the pics are beautiful, the message (of others chipping in) is good, and, as long as people recognize this is just one type of experience with bipolar disorder, I recommend it.
Children with mentally ill parents.......2007-05-13
This is an excellent resource to use with children who have mentally ill parents. I am a child and family therapist. I have already used the book a couple of times, and it was fascinating to see the children's reactions to the angry mother. Even boys can identify with the main character, Annie. The book helps children to see they are not alone, identify their own emotions, and allows the therapist to discuss how they cope. Nice illustrations!
Helps introduce complicated subject.......2006-06-11
This book is helpful as a tool for introducing bipolar disorder to young children. I read the story to my six year old and we discussed the child's life, the good and the bad. I explained that the mother had a mental illness which affected her behavior in negative ways. The book clearly states that the mother refuses treatment and how it affects the lives of her loved ones. This presents an opportunity to clarify the difference between a person seeking treatment versus one who refuses trestment. It also does a good job of describing a back-up plan for the child when mom is not well. This plan gives the little girl a sense of control and security when her mother's behavior is chaotic or frightening.
Overall, this book is very good for a lead-in to this issue for young children. However, do your homework before reading the story aloud as it lacks even a simple definition of bipolar or any guidance for a discussion afterwards.
Bipolar Disorder simplified for young children.......2005-01-27
I am the mother of an adult bipolar daughter and have read this book to my grandson who is seven years old. It's right on the money. Mental illness is difficult for most adults to truly understnd let alone a child. It's vital for children to understand that their mentally ill parent still loves them even though they do "strange" things. This book provided a path for my grandson to talk about his mother and for me to try (again and again) to help him understand her illness.
Touching and effective........2004-08-17
An encouraging book for young children who have a mother prone to angry outbursts. This book was created to be read by children whose mother's have some sort of emotional disability, dependence or life circumstance, which can affect their children. It is gently encouraging and could easily be incorporated into any classroom or crises center. It has a very touching ending.
Book Description
Anger. It's a strong feeling of irritation. It's a signal that something is wrong. It's a special delivery letter telling her that she's being hurt, her rights are being trampled, she's living in fear, she's frustrated. But when this warning flashes, many women have learned to ignore it. For them anger is not safe, not good, and should be avoided at all costs. Instead they may turn to masks that are more acceptable: depression, guilt, self-doubt, self-hatred. Dr. Oliver and Dr. Wright extensively surveyed women from many walks of life, exploring with them what they believe about anger and charting a new and healthy path for handling this important emotion. With sensitivity and understanding, the authors provide tools for expressing anger constructively in the various spheres of a woman's life.
Customer Reviews:
The answer is here........2003-09-11
This book was wonderful in explaining anger, its origin, and how to handle anger. It was so easy to understand and had practicle applications. It helped me see anger in a positive way and helped me to be comfortable with others when they are angry. This is the book that you are looking for!!!
Much needed for today's women.......2001-09-27
AS a women and someone who has struggled with passive style of anger I found this book very helpful to myself and to my relationships. Also as a therapist, I recommend this book frequently to women who sruggle with many different types of anger issues. It is comforting to know its OK to get angry and still be a good woman.
Helpful and Practical Ways to express and deal with anger.......2001-09-26
While this book is clearly written by two Christian Authors it is one of the most helpful and practical books on the subject of anger. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor that utilizes the book in my counseling practice to help women identify their anger issues and how to express anger in helpful and healthy ways. I highly recommend the book.
A good book for tackling anger.......2000-06-01
I found this book very helpful in identifying the causes of my anger, and strategies to overcome it. The authors are very sensitive to the issues of women and did an excellent job of approaching the subject. I am a therapist and have recommended this book to female clients.
bad news for the non christian.......2000-04-10
i was very disapointed to recieve this book and see that every other phrase was quoting the bible or talking about god and your place as a woman. i didn't even read it, i sent it back. even my christian friends would be bothered a bit by it's in your face approach.

Using quizzes, historical references, career advice, and irreverent Top 10 lists such as "Top 10 Signs That You Should Prepare to Meet Your Maker," The Angry Black Woman's Guide to Life will help you find out what type of ABW you are, and empower you to be the best ABW you could possibly be-and have your loved ones live to tell about it.
A lively look at the art of being a true Angry Black Woman-from her relationships to her career to her family-this hip, hysterical manifesto is the perfect gift for all of the ABWs in your life-no matter what their type!
Customer Reviews:
HI-LARIOUS!.......2007-06-25
i read some of the reviews...and if you are looking for meaningful insight into the plight of black women..the title of this book should have tell you that is not going to be the case. however, if you want a lighthearted yet truthful commentary on being an angry black woman (or angry white woman)..than this is the book for you. this book was a gift from my girflriends in my dance group..half of whome are white and i really enjoyed it...and no i wasn't offended..i'm an ABW and proud of it! i found it hysterically funny because i was able to relate ..and even the things i had not personally experienced i certainly know someone who has. (the chapter about children was especially funny...i saw alot of my mother in that) **you probably shouldn't read this on the train or in any public place like i did...cuz i did look just a little crazy laughing as hard as i was while reading it**
bottom line..if you want deep insight on the plight of the black race try W.E.B DuBois or Marcus Garvey or Michael Eric Dyson.
Not funny.......2007-01-19
I don't think the book was funny. It makes women of color sound ignorant.
OK.......2006-03-29
IT DIDN'T REALLY HOLD MY INTEREST ALOT OF THE PAGES I SKIPPED OR GOT TIRED OF READING.
"Tell Like It Is".......2005-09-14
The authors of The Angry Black Woman's Guides To Life tell what it is really like to be a black woman and what it takes to keep an a black woman happy. Together these three write an expectantly well thought of book that encourages woman of all races & ethnics.
Tell It Like It Is.......2005-08-22
