Review: This audio tape left me feeling like I just read a lengthy book jacket. Actually it was like listening to a seminar that was good, but 30 minutes too long. There was just enough meat in it to kindle my interest and show that the author/speaker does have some interesting insights but it dragged on and on so that by the end I felt I'd wasted 90 minutes that would have been better spent listening to an audiotape of a real book, not just a "presentation" on a topic.

If you are looking for a "Cliff's Notes" on Anger with just 3 interesting facts (how anger is affected by being a woman, by ethnicity and by birth order) and a last minute run-though of 12 steps to dealing with anger, buy this. (And I mean "last-minute," at the very end of the tape she reviews a quick list of tips -- you'd find more depth in a women's magazine.)

Also I found the author as speaker very tedious. Too much use of those dramatic psychological pauses, stringing about 3 words together at a time.
