The image of anger as a beast is a familiar one. We have all experienced the transformation that can occur when the beast awakens; the momentary sense of power, the confidence that what we are doing is correct, and the overwhelming drive to triumph over whoever or whatever is opposing us.
Regrettably, we have also experienced the aftermath of the beast gone wild: words and choices that we regret, damaged relationships, and a desire to erase what we have done. Some people respond to the havoc by locking the beast deep within themselves where it never again sees the light of day. Unfortunately, the price they pay of powerlessness can be just as great as the damage done by their uncontrolled anger. Others go through a constant cycle of anger and regret.
Anger: Taming the Beast is a book for everyone who is struggling with anger. By following the lives of four people, each of whom is struggling with the beast in different ways, it shows you how to tame anger and make it your ally instead of your enemy.

Midwest Book Review – Reviewer’s Choice
Anger: Taming The Beast by marriage and family therapist Reneau Z. Peurifoy, is a step-by-step approach specifically designed for people troubled by a tendency for explosive anger, as well as those who find even the legitimate expression of anger difficult. Anger: Taming The Beast is straightforward, “user friendly”, do-it-yourself program that anyone can undertake in order to become master of their emotions, rather than at the mercy of them. Individual chapters focus on learning new ways to resolve conflicts, handling the frustrations and anxieties of parenting, the nature and origins of anger, assertiveness, stress management, and much more. Anger: Taming The Beast is a strongly recommended title for anyone seeking to manage their emotions in a more positive, fitting, situationally appropriate manner.
