From the Publisher
In this too violent society, the theme of It's Not Personal! is of utmost importance. It shows how thoughts and beliefs can trigger anger, and how getting rid of unrealistic expectations and false assumptions can mean being less angry when faced with criticism, hostility, rejection, deception, manipulation, or physical abuse. All of the exercises in the book have been used successfully for almost twenty years in the author's anger management workshops, and can help readers take charge of their anger and not take personally what others may do or say. This book can be a manual for those who want to be less angry, express anger more effectively, or cope better with other angry people.

From the Author
As part of my psychotherapy practice in Westport, CT, I frequently lead workshops on anger management, write articles on it for various print media, speak at professional association meetings, and appear on national radio and television shows. My previous books include Conquering Compulsive Eating and Eating Without Guilt. I sincerely hope It's Not Personal! will help many people achieve inner peace and thus create a gentler world.
