Best books on Anger Management?
06-04-2018, 10:23 PM
Question for you guys, what books can really help with anger management?
In the past when I've looked, I found books for guys who are breaking, beating and destroying people and things around them, and that's WAY too intense for me.
I just shout too much and have trouble reigning myself in. It comes so quickly that I have a hard time controlling myself and I can be FURIOUS in a split second.
Any suggestions for useful books/resources?

- The Four Agreements
You have the problem of not being able to control your thoughts, start meditating after you read that book.

There is a famous saying that I am going to butcher, but its something along the lines of "The moment you realize that criticism says more about how the person giving the criticism feels about themself than it does about you is the moment you become free to not react."

Thomas Cleary - "Training the Samurai Mind"
Arrian - "Enchiridion"
Marcus Aurelius - "Meditations"
These will help with many things, including how to think about overreaction. Defense Secretary Mattis was known to carry Meditations with him throughout his combat days.

Look at NLP and rewire your brain.
Get some 1-1 counseling from a good operator.

@Jetset thanks for the recommending me those books.
@Ratinthewoods what are some good NLP resources?
I have tried counselling / therapy in the past and it works okay but doesn't stick in the long run.
