Pathways to Peace: Anger Management Workbook

Anger is a drug which often turns into a full-blown addiction. This pattern of anger abuse is reinforced socially. People learn to abuse anger from the examples of parents, peers, the media. The book helps people to un-learn these destructive patterns. It shows chronically angry people how to replace their anger habit with peaceful alternatives and respond to their anger triggers in non-violent ways.

This workbook will help the reader:
--Discover how he learned his or her anger pattern
--Find new, nonviolent ways to experience personal power
--Learn to change abusive and violent behaviors
--Focus on values and goals that support a nonviolent rage-free lifestyle
--Identify and change negative attitudes and beliefs that keep a person stuck
--Avoid relapsing back into angry behavior
--Maintain recovery from chronic anger and rage

The workbook is easy to understand. Each of the eighteen chapters includes personal stories and questions for the reader.

In 1998, William Fleeman founded the highly successful Pathways to Peace to provide violence prevention tools, skills, and programs that inspire individuals and communities to live together in harmony. This book shows that this program can transform anyone with an anger management problem. The author’s experience is that people with anger problems use anger like a drug, to change feelings of powerlessness into feelings of power. This book helps people unlearn this destructive pattern through a cognitive/behavioral approach. Included are 18 anger management sessions with personal stories and questions. The sessions can be completed in 18 to 20 weeks or less. Chapters cover self-assessment, the eight steps to recovery, what to avoid, special methods and skills, life mission and spirituality, goals, forgiveness, and more — all geared to keeping anger under control. This is the official text for the acclaimed self-help anger management program used in schools, prisons, and drug/alcohol treatment centers today.
