Anger management is more than technique. It is a process, a spiritual journey down a path which leads to self control and peace of mind. "This book has very practical approaches outlined that are very easy to follow and adapt into one's life. These solutions will lead to a healthy and well balanced life and even more, a philosophy of life. Healthy thoughts and attitudes are promoted that will work to prevent unhealthy anger from developing. I found the quotes from spiritual leaders, authors, thinkers and philosophers to be very beneficial and important to reflect upon. I would highly recommend this book to anyone I know." -Robert J. Mahaffey, MSSA, LISW, Clinical Social Worker"Robert Dunn's faith based approach to controlling anger by focusing on attitude rather than applying techniques is a must read for everyone regardless of anger issues. This a great resource to read and keep close for an improved outlook on life." -Pastor Richard Kidd M.Div. Bethel Lutheran Church, Boardman, Ohio "Bob Dunn has offered a strong clinical and spiritual contribution for those with anger issues. His book is also a tremendous reference for those who care for people with anger, anxiety and depression. He offers a powerful and practical message of hope." -Jane Barnett MS, NCC, LPC
Many of us live a life of denial. Reality is often hard to face. It is easier to stay on the sideline with false beliefs stuck in dysfunctional patterns of behavior. Whether it be anger addictions, poor communication, apathy or sloth, change is difficult. As I often tell my clients, "de-nial is not just a river in Egypt." Sometimes you have to be disgusted with your behavior in order to consider changing. Sometimes it takes a crisis, a loss, or consequences for your behavior to precipitate the motivation to change. Many times a crisis presents a valuable opportunity to change. Legal charges, probation, jail time, a broken relationship, loss of a job or health consequences can serve as the necessary stimulus. The opportunity exists to look inward to get to the root your problem. A spiritual awakening may occur. Counseling may be required or encouraged to further strengthen your skill set needed to regain self-control. Often life calls upon us to put aside our own desires and do something for someone else. Becoming a master of our anger may be the best gift we can give to someone.
Powerlifter Bob Dunn has created an easy and efficient Powerlifting Training Log to assist in tracking workouts and detailing your training progress. Additionally, grids have been included for you to maintain an accurate record of competitions you have entered. The three common lifts (squat, bench press, and deadlift) are listed along with the curl, which is a competitive lift.
