Book Report : Life Without Anger

I'm not big on self-help books, but I picked this one up during Christmas shopping (last year:). Hmm, I have anger sometimes, so do other people in my immediate family. It's normal, but hey let's check it out. Finally got around to reading it, and there's a lot of good stuff in there. The basic premise is that anger is usually a conditioned response to events - it's programmed into our brain based on past experience and our view of the world. But it can be 'de-programmed' if you start to think about it. Anger is not the only response, why not laughter, or thoughtfulness or something else ? The tone of the author is somewhat annoying, but like I said many good points. Now I have to read through it again to find them, since I didn't have a highliter at the time.
