From Publishers Weekly In a corporate environment characterized by downsizing and restructuring， anger is an increasingly common response among employees. Although it is normal and healthy to get angry， organizational psychologist Weisinger (Nobody's Perfect) says that how we handle anger is often unhealthy. He explains how to recognize physical cues that herald anger， how to keep it from escalating and how to foster "emotional excellence" in ourselves and others by projecting positive emotional energy. He also describes the "dirty dozen"-the 12 most anger-provoking work situations-and how we can manage or defuse our rage. Weisinger urges readers to redirect and use emotions rather than deny or "stuff" them， as many other career-advice guides do. Also included is a fictional scenario of how anger can escalate to monstrous proportions when not managed effectively， and a series of questions to test readers' knowledge of the dynamics of anger.

From Library Journal A self-described "angerologist" and licensed psychologist who specializes in anger management， Weisinger adds to his successful Dr. Weisinger's Anger Work-Out Book (Morrow， 1985) with this guide for managing anger that gives special attention to work-related situations， presently a "hot" issue. He describes dimensions of dealing with anger， typical anger-provoking scenarios， and practical intervention techniques. Weisinger's offering may be summed up as techniques for transforming anger into a positive learning experience， and his approach is effectively presented in this specialized management tool. Managers at all levels will find this a useful reference. Highly recommended. Dealing with anger in a different way， consumer advocate Horowitz， known mainly for his television exposure of frauds and ripoffs in business and government， now adds to his collection of "Fight Back" books (e.g.， The Fight Back! Guide to Hospital Care， LJ 5/1/93) with this approach to workplace issues. Issues covered include the job interview， payroll requirements， organizing rights， retirement and pension protection， health protection， workplace privacy， termination， and other workplace-related labor laws and requirements. While all the information is technically correct， based on federal requirements， this material is already thoroughly covered in numerous other works on labor law designed for human resource and other managerial personnel. Obviously， in many businesses， something is still not quite right or there wouldn't be any need for this employee-oriented approach to learning about workplace rights. Recommended only for collections still weak in this area of labor law.?Dale Farris， Groves， Tex.Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information， Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
