Anger Management: 6 Critical Steps to a Calmer Life
by Peter FavaroIdentify Whats Setting You Off and WhyFind the Calm While Navigating the (Inevitable) StormRelinquish Toxic Anger in Your LifeFor Good!)From the introduction by the author: I am convinced that anger is an epidemic problem both in the larger world and in our homes and work places. I've written Anger Management not as a technical work describing the social science of anger, but as a practical work intended to help people understand their own anger and the anger of others. By reading this book, you will learn that managing your anger is a series of skills that (you) can learn over time.With this program, (you will) learn to raise the temperature we often refer to as 'the boiling point'that moment at which reason is consumed by rage. Anger may well be the number one problem in modern society. If left unresolved, it distorts people's perception of reality, negates happiness and serenity, can cause depression and addictive behaviors, reduces resistance to illnesses, and cause a wide variety of self-destructive behavior. In the extreme, it explodes in physical or emotional violence, which ultimately breeds more anger and more violence.Anger Management is a practical and down-to-earth program that will teach you not only to understand your own anger, but, perhaps just as importantly, how to deal with the angry behavior of others. It details the role anger and conflict play in day-to-day interactions at home, at work and in social environments. Real-life examples discuss anger that erupts in intimate relationships, on the road, on the job with co-workers, or when dealing with people who are rude, irritating or intimidating. Anger Management also provides two unique sections. The first describes the psychology and behavior of predatory people; the other teaches you how to deal with situations where remaining cool under pressure can be a vital survival tactic. Anger Management is one of the most comprehensive and easy-to-follow anger-management programs available today. It is the ultimate self-help guide, but also an invaluable resource for corporate human resources departments in any business where tension and conflict occur during negotiations or in customer-service interactions.

Angewandte Menschlichkeit
by Dada BhagwanJeder Mensch führt ein Leben, aber wieviel Menschlichkeit besitzt er? Geburt, Ausbildung, Beruf, Ehe, Kinder, Familie und am Ende... der Tod! Ist dies der Standardzyklus des Lebens, dem man folgen muss? Was ist das Endziel eines solchen Lebens? Warum werden wir geboren? Was wollen wir? Der menschliche Körper, den wir erhalten haben, sollte die Aufgabe erfüllen, menschlich zu sein. Im Leben sollte Menschlichkeit sein. Aber was ist laut Param Pujya Dadashri, dem Gnani Purush (dem Erleuchteten),Menschlichkeit? Die Definition von Menschlichkeit ist, dass es dir nicht gefällt, wenn dich jemand verletzt, dir Schwierigkeiten macht. Deshalb solltest du auch niemanden verletzen. Das ist Seiner Meinung nach die größte Menschlichkeit. Wer das versteht und im Leben anwendet, weiß, was Menschlichkeit ist. Einen menschlichen Körper zu bekommen bedeutet, dass man die Freiheit hat, in jede der vier Lebensformen (Gattis) zu gehen. Eine davon ist die menschliche Form, die anderen drei sind die tierische Form, Devgatti(Himmel/Himmlisches Wesen) und NarakGatti(Hölle/bestialische Form). Was auch immer die Ursachen sind, so sind auch die Wirkungen. Wenn wir Menschlichkeit zeigen, werden wir in der nächsten Geburt einen menschlichen Körper bekommen. Wenn wir unmenschlich sind, werden wir in der Tierform wiedergeboren. Wenn wir extrem schlecht und unmenschlich sind, werden wir in NarakGattiwiedergeboren. Wenn wir unser Leben damit verbringen, anderen Gutes zu tun, und ihnen ohne irgendwelche Erwartungen zu helfen, dann erhalten wir ein Leben in Devgatti. In diesem Buch hat Param Pujya Dadashri die Konzepte der Menschlichkeit mit der bescheidenen Absicht erörtert, damit das menschliche Leben der Menschen, wenn sie etwas über Menschlichkeit lernen,fruchtbar sein wird.
The Angola Prison Seminary: Effects of Faith-Based Ministry on Identity Transformation, Desistance, and Rehabilitation (Innovations in Corrections #1)
by Michael Hallett Joshua Hays Byron R. Johnson Sung Joon Jang Grant DuweCorrections officials faced with rising populations and shrinking budgets have increasingly welcomed "faith-based" providers offering services at no cost to help meet the needs of inmates. Drawing from three years of on-site research, this book utilizes survey analysis along with life-history interviews of inmates and staff to explore the history, purpose, and functioning of the Inmate Minister program at Louisiana State Penitentiary (aka "Angola"), America’s largest maximum-security prison. This book takes seriously attributions from inmates that faith is helpful for "surviving prison" and explores the implications of religious programming for an American corrections system in crisis, featuring high recidivism, dehumanizing violence, and often draconian punishments. A first-of-its-kind prototype in a quickly expanding policy arena, Angola’s unique Inmate Minister program deploys trained graduates of the New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary in bi-vocational pastoral service roles throughout the prison. Inmates lead their own congregations and serve in lay-ministry capacities in hospice, cell block visitation, delivery of familial death notifications to fellow inmates, "sidewalk counseling" and tier ministry, officiating inmate funerals, and delivering "care packages" to indigent prisoners. Life-history interviews uncover deep-level change in self-identity corresponding with a growing body of research on identity change and religiously motivated desistance. The concluding chapter addresses concerns regarding the First Amendment, the dysfunctional state of U.S. corrections, and directions for future research.

The Angry Therapist: A No BS Guide to Finding and Living Your Own Truth
by John KimTackling relationships, career, and family issues, John Kim, LMFT, thinks of himself as a life-styledesigner, not a therapist. His radical new approach, that he sometimes calls “self-help in a shot glass” is easy, real, and to the point. He helps people make changes to their lives so that personal growth happens organically, just by living. Let’s face it, therapy is a luxury. Few of us have the time or money to devote to going to an office every week. With anecdotes illustrating principles in action (in relatable and sometimes irreverent fashion) and stand-alone practices and exercises, Kim gives readers the tools and directions to focus on what's right with them instead of what's wrong. When John Kim was going through the end of a relationship, he began blogging as The Angry Therapist, documenting his personal journey post-divorce. Traditional therapists avoid transparency, but Kim preferred the language of "me too" as opposed to "you should." He blogged about his own shortcomings, revelations, views on relationships, and the world. He spoke a different therapeutic language —open, raw, and at times subversive — and people responded. The Angry Therapist blog, that inspired this book, has been featured in The Atlantic Monthly and on NPR.
