Act on Life, Not on Anger

Act on Life, Not on Anger: The New Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Guide to Problem Anger


By Georg H. Eifert, Matthew McKay, and John P. Forsyth, Ph.D.s
If you'd tried to control problem anger before with little success, this book offers you a new approach to try. Instead of asking you to struggle even harder with anger, this book helps you to drop the rope in your tug-of-war with anger using a new set of principles and techniques: acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT).
You'll start by learning how to accept your angry feelings as they occur, without struggling to alter or impede them in any way. Then, using techniques based in mindfulness practice, you'll find out how to watch your anger without identifying with it.
Value-identification exercises help you decide what matters most to you and then commit to short- and long-term goals that turn these values into reality. In the process, anger simply loses power over your life; you'll gain the most profound control, accomplished by simply letting go.
This book adapts acceptance and commitment therapy principles to dealing with anger. It teaches readers how to change their relationship to anger by accepting rather than resisting angry feelings and learning to make values-based responses to provocation. 192 pages. 6 x 9. Softcover. 2006.
