We should note that people often mistake confidence for self-esteem, but the two are quite different. Lieberman, is a comprehensive, holistic look at the underlying emotional, physical, and spiritual causes of anger, and a practical guide to what the listener can do to gain perspective. Meditation for a short period is recommended, and, thankfully, one does not have to sit in a lotus position to do the meditations suggested in this book; just a comfortable chair with legs firmly on the ground and hands resting on armrests of the chair or one’s thighs will do. As our behavior becomes increasingly reckless and irresponsible, the ego swells to compensate for feelings of guilt, insecurity, and shame.

Some of the ways people may deal with it are not desirable, but it's impossible for any emotionally-balanced, healthy human to *never* feel anger. If you've read Cal Newport Deep Work you can skip the last third of the book as it's the same (even uses the marshmallow experiment) neuroscience as presented there. I like Lieberman’s recommendation to keep a diary or journal of our anger patterns that tell us how we are as a person and the triggers that set us off, making us let off steam, for most of the time, on those we care.When, through our choices and life decisions, we don’t like who we have become, we often seek to escape our feelings through excessive behaviors, endless entertainment, and even abusive behaviors. Nevertheless, I feel like I got a lot out of this and will re-read portions of it when I feel I need it.

He has been appeared as a guest expert on more than two hundred programs such as The Today Show, Fox News, and The View, and his work has been featured in publications around the world. His books, including You Can Read Anyone, Never Be Lied to Again, and Never Get Angry Again, have been translated into 26 languages and have sold more than 3 million copies.I think the mixture of good and bad science in the book is dangerous, it may encourage people to ne more judgmental towards themselves and others than they should. I help to coordinate several 12- Step Programs and found some pleasantly striking similarities between the 12 Steps and Lieberman’s approach.
