Book Cover & Preview Text
Hi, My name is Mark and I am a bonehead. I am the self appointed chief bonehead of BoneHead Anonymous. I am self-qualified to write this guide book for boneheads dealing with anger issues. If you are like me, then you do stupid things all the time and spend a lot of time being angry at others and with myself. For an example: While working on this book, I bought an expensive pair of sunglasses. I justified buying them because I could use them in so many places. Oh, they were so nice, unbreakable with special polaroid lenses. I even did some research on the internet and they received great reviews. But I knew I shouldn’t buy them. Although they may be unbreakable, they are not bonehead proof. I lose my sunglasses all the time. I can’t keep them for any length of time. There is no warranty for being a bonehead. But, I said to myself, I won’t lose them, no not these sunglasses, they are too expensive. Three days later I loss them. What a bonehead! I was so mad at myself. I knew better. This book is about the lessons I learned during this life long journey working through issues dealing with anger. Learning how to embrace anger and sharing that information with others in seminars, workshops and personal mentoring. I truly believe the following pages will help all of us boneheads and even those who are so lucky not to be like me. This book deals with anger management, not anger elimination.

About the Book
Author Mark Stricklin knows what it’s like to do bonehead things in spite of your best intentions and then get angry at yourself (and occasionally with others). In fact, unless we have given up caring about everything, we all get angry from time to time—and we all need ways to deal with that feeling. In Anger Management, Stricklin explores what makes us angry, how to deal with our anger, and how to deal with angry people. What’s more, he focuses specifically on managing anger rather than eliminating it. He draws his knowledge both from his degree in psychology and from many years of dealing with people from all walks of life, who brought with them a wealth of knowledge and experience to his weekly classes in a transitional shelter. Through these classes, Stricklin has learned, relearned, changed, and reevaluated the process of embracing anger and anger management—and now he seeks to share that insight. Practical and straightforward, this guide offers down-to-earth advice on what causes anger; how to manage, accept, and express it; and how to deal with others who are angry.
