The Anger Fallacy: Uncovering the Irrationality of the Angry MindsetSteven Laurent and Ross G MenziesHighly recommend for clinicians and their patients., January 31, 2014 By JB - I am a psychiatrist. While I trained at a highly regarded Ivy League residency program and have since kept abreast of the literature, I have always felt insufficiently prepared to assess and manage anger in my patients. The Anger Fallacy is one of the best treatment books that I have ever read. Uniquely, it is a tremendous resource for both patients and clinicians. It is accessible and amusing such that patients need not be overwhelmed, yet sophisticated and layered to the point that I have found myself continuously harvesting pearls after multiple readings. Written in elegant and sprightly prose, this book tackles anger from all sides, squeezing the life out of it with logic, appeals to pragmatics, cognitive reframing, and humor. The multidimensional approach makes it adaptable to nearly any patient and the colorful examples make each lesson easy to retain and fun to recount. Several times already, I have had success using examples from the book in my practice; then once the patient's attention was captive, I managed to persuade them without difficulty to read the book. Each time they thanked me for the recommendation. This book could greatly benefit anyone who has struggled with anger, knows an angry person, works with angry people, or who is interested generally in transcending the negative thoughts and emotions that we all occasionally buy into to our own detriment. I congratulate the authors on a superb addition to our clinical arsenal. |

The Anger Fallacy: Uncovering the Irrationality of the Angry MindsetSteven Laurent and Ross G MenziesA life without anger is attainable - if you understand The Anger Fallacy. This is a book meant to challenge us. The authors have taken such an engaging and witty approach that the reader is likely to get hooked and will stop to think — to reflect. The humorous story is a device, along with creative metaphors, analogies and dialogue scripts, which the authors use to convey the compelling logic of their argument about the counter-productiveness of anger. I strongly recommend this book. If you are suffering with your anger it will give you a lift. — Adjunct Professor Roger Dooley, Clinical Psychologist
Featuring the wisdom and wit of: Confucius, The Bible, Yoda, Billy Connolly, George Bernard Shaw, Jerry Seinfeld, Dale Carnegie, Ricky Gervais, Larry David, and many more.
