Lazarus, PhD</b>, cofounder and director of The Lazarus Institute, coauthor of <i>The 60-Second Shrink</i>, and expert blogger for <i>Psychology Today</i>--Clifford N. Lazarus, PhD<br><br>"After I read Bill Knaus's <i>The Cognitive Behavioral Workbook for Anger</i>, I realized that this is not merely a self-help text to deal with anger. Knaus successfully combines the top scholarship dedicated to this topic with an applied bent accessible to anyone who has anger issues or who consults with clients with anger problems. Undoubtedly, Knaus's workbook represents a tour de force of penetrating insights, unquestionable scholarship, and practical reasoning." <br><b>--S. Zinaich, Jr., PhD</b>, professor at Purdue University Northwest, author of numerous articles on philosophical counseling, and associate executive director of the National Philosophical Counseling Association--S. Zinaich, Jr., PhD<br><br>"Anger is an emotion increasingly at the forefront of individual and public life in the digital age. Anger harms both the individual experiencing it and others as well. Fortunately, Bill Knaus's newest work is filled with both novel and tried-and-true approaches to end this scourge. Solidly based on the principles of cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and filled with practical examples, it offers the reader tools to better help those struggling with the impact of this emotion on their lives." <br><b>--Ronald Murphy, PhD</b>, practicing psychologist in New York City, NY; senior psychologist at the human sexuality program at LIJ Medical Center; and clinical supervisor of the clinical psychology doctoral program at Teachers College, Columbia University--Ronald Murphy, PhD<br><br>"Bill Knaus has distilled his decades of clinical experience, teaching, and authoring twenty-five self-help books into this cogent and compelling volume: <i>The Cognitive Behavioral Workbook for Anger</i>! Having facilitated almost 800 SMART Recovery and Inside Out meetings in prisons and jails worldwide, I have concluded that unconstrained anger causes almost as many incarcerations as addictions. This workbook is an accessible and engaging approach to enhancing control of destructive anger." <br><b>--Joseph Gerstein, MD, FACP</b>, clinical assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, and founding president of the SMART Recovery Mutual-Aid Group Program--Joseph Gerstein, MD, FACP<br><br>"Bill Knaus, writing in a highly readable style, shows you how to manage and minimize your anger, giving you creative tools and strategies that have been proven effective in reducing anger. His use of practical and stimulating exercises reinforces the concepts and ideas described in the text. You come away with a better understanding of how your anger is self-created, and how to free yourself from anger excesses. I strongly recommend this informative guide." <br><b>--Allen Elkin, PhD</b>, author of <i>Stress Management for Dummies</i>--Allen Elkin, PhD<br><br>"Despite its enduring role in conflicts and emotional distress, anger continues to be poorly addressed. Most who attempt to help others with anger control problems do so without evidenced-based methods. Bill Knaus's <i>The Cognitive Behavioral Workbook for Anger</i> resolves these deficiencies. Practically anyone can use this guide to understand the origins of anger, discover the triggers that can elicit it, and see how to apply practical tools to cope effectively with anger and anger-related problems. I strongly recommend this book for helping professionals and people wanting sensible self-help solutions to anger problems." <br><b>--Michael Abrams, PhD, ABPP</b>, adjunct full professor at New York University, and author of <i>The New CBT</i>--Michael Abrams, PhD, ABPP<br><br>"There is a lot of anger in this world. But that is not a problem. Problems arise if anger fuels destructive behaviors. But it does not have to be. The same destructive anger can be transformed into constructive action. How? That is what Bill Knaus's beautifully organized and science-based anger workbook is all about. Applying its insights and skills will undoubtedly help make our world and lives safe and sound." <br><b>--Rene F.W. Diekstra, PhD</b>, emeritus professor of youth and development at The Hague University of Applied Sciences in the Netherlands, founder and first president of the International Academy for Suicide Research, and coauthor of <i>Adolescent Suicide</i>--Rene F.W. Diekstra, PhD<br><br>"This user-friendly, five-star book beautifully covers the cognitive and behavioral steps proven to be effective in anger management. Bill Knaus correctly emphasizes one of Albert Ellis' most significant contributions: the evocative role of low frustration tolerance in emotional distress, and how to reduce anger and distress by increasing frustration tolerance. He describes how you can arrive at a deeply internalized understanding of the seemingly 'simple' but rarely arrived at belief that 'you can't get through to everyone.'" <br><b>--Janet L. Wolfe, PhD</b>, author of <i>What to Do When He Has a Headache</i>, and executive director of the Albert Ellis Institute for more than thirty years--Janet L. Wolfe, PhD<br><br>"When I read <i>The Cognitive Behavioral Workbook for Anger</i>, I felt as if Bill Knaus was sitting in a comfortable chair in my living room speaking to me. In language that is easily understood, he explains the thoughts of other great thinkers, from Epictetus to Ellis, and offers remarkably practical ideas about the roots of anger and what works to change old patterns. I love useful books. This is one." <br><b>--Derek Paar, PhD</b>, licensed psychologist, and emeritus professor at Springfield College--Derek Paar, PhD<br><br>"Where has this magnificent workbook been hiding? Bill Knaus, once again, has given us a highly reader-friendly guide. This time it is about managing anger. It is a crucially important read during this unprecedented period, which has given birth to heightened levels of fear, frustration, and anger. Bravo, Bill Knaus!" <br><b>--Barry Lubetkin, PhD</b>, past president of The American Board of Behavioral Psychology, and coauthor of <i>Why Do I Need You to Love Me in Order to Like Myself?</i>--Barry Lubetkin, PhD<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>William J.
