Family Counselor Betty Doty & Anger Seminar Leader Pat Rooney show that anger truly is a habit. They suggest a way of seeing the world which makes it possible to shake the anger habit. By way of an easy-to-make paradigm shift in thinking, readers learn that it actually is possible to move from a pattern of consistently incurring hostility...to a pattern of consistently getting cooperation; to move from expecting the worst out of ourselves & others...to getting the opposite more & more often; to move from a lifestyle of endless power struggles...to finding a way of escaping the futility of such a lifestyle. It takes getting anger levels down, according to the authors of Shake the Anger Habit!, in order for problems to be defined accurately enough that conflict resolution skills can be effective. The authors see people in today's society as living in fear of each other's anger, yet the defensiveness against such fear triggers even more anger. The book is for those who want to replace an anger habit with one which gets better results. Most frequently heard comment, "It works." Foreword by a medical doctor; extensive bibliography.Betty Doty is the author of 'Shake the Anger Habit' with ISBN 9780930822101 and ISBN 0930822102.
