Review by Library Journal Review

Lieberman, PhD (How To Change Anybody; Make Peace with Anyone), believes that in order to conquer fiery fits of uncontrollable anger or rage, a person must permanently reorient one's perspective. To do this, Lieberman first describes the psychological dynamics of anger and human nature before offering the tools and techniques to offset the emotion. He discusses self-control, acceptance, and a trust in God that helps one develop self-love, make peace with the past, and evoke new behaviors in the future. Additional suggestions range from setting boundaries to talking to people who won't listen. VERDICT An essential instruction manual for anger management, but also a detailed work on how to get along with other people. © Copyright 2017.
