Anger Management
Workbook
A Note
to the Reader
Newton Hightower has been a good friend
of mine for many years. I have tremendous appreciation
for the work he does and the program he has developed
to help anger addicts achieve true freedom
from a disease that causes such suffering to both them
and the ones who love them. And I have been truly thrilled
with the success of Anger Busting 101: New ABC's
for Angry men and the Women Who Love Them, the book
that first presented Newton's program to the general
public. Almost from the very beginning, Newton and I
saw the need for a companion workbook to this
award-winning book - something that would make the principles
of his program even more useful and accessible to the
people who need them the most. I was pleased and flattered
when he eventually asked me if I would help bring this
next phase of the dream into reality.
I don't know anyone who doesn't struggle
with anger every once in awhile. After all, anger
is a normal emotion and most of us experience it
in appropriate ways at appropriate times. However, for
certain portion of the population, anger is not
just an occasional emotion, it is a way of life. They
are gripped by rage in ways that tear apart the fabric
of their relationships and create confusion and chaos
in every area of their lives.
If you are such a person, of if you are
in a relationship to someone who struggles with anger
on this level, then please pick up this book and read
it! Devour it from cover to cover; let these principles
and exercises soak into your heard and become the foundation
for a new way of thinking, acting and choosing. This
workbook is designed to help you apply Newton
Hightower's ideas in a step-by-step fashion,
whether you are involved in therapy or not, whether
you're using medication or not. I have observed Newton
as he works with rageaholics, teaching them to apply
these principles in their lives. I can vouch for the
fact that this stuff really works! It won't just help
you change, it will help you change now!
I count it a privilege and an honor
to have had a part in making this life-changing material
available to you - to anyone who is ready to be free
from the cycle of rage and brokenness that is anger
addiction. I extend to you my prayers and best
wishes as you begin your journey toward wholeness. Please
remember, if you don't quit, you can't lose.
