Anger and Grief Relief is a step-by-step process whereby anyone with a sincere desire to be rid of anger and/or a need to get through grief can succeed in doing so. “Anger Management” doesn’t work because anger is a symptom, not THE primary problem. Have you ever been angry when you weren’t simultaneously sure you were right? Ever? Neither have I, and neither has anyone else. That’s because “being right” is the cause of anger and being right is caused by judgement. This explains why “anger management” doesn’t work; it attacks the wrong problem. Judgement is the real problem. Anger is just a symptom and treating symptoms is seldom successful. An attempt to manage anger is like running thru a house with a fly swatter while all of the windows and doors remain open, and supper is cooking on the stove. This book addresses the real problem and will teach you how to close those windows and doors. It will also enable the reader to grieve well and – in many cases – reach a blessed state of sweet sadness. During the authors’ 10+ years as a counselor at an alcohol and drug treatment center he has successfully treated hundreds of clients using these techniques.
I was diagnosed with cancer in 2020. While ruminating about it one day I remembered friends who had had near death experiences saying that God and I would review every day of my life when I died. I thought, “If I could relive 7 days of my life, exactly as they happened, which ones are they?” I came up with 14 and it put me on a Gratitude High that has lasted to today. After writing the 14 days it occurred to me that I have known some real characters.
Who are they and what have I learned from each one? That is the basis for the second section of the book. The third is simply a few lessons I’ve learned and some spiritual practices.
Spirituality for the Religiously Challenged. This book is a set of spiritual observations, activities and lessons on developing a fun, productive and effective spiritually based life. These easy-to-follow directions will bring you a new joy, no matter what your religious beliefs are. They are especially effective for those who do not have a religion or a spiritual connection at all.
EVERYONE SELLS!
Everyone sells. Your doctor sells you on taking the medicine and remaining his patient; your lawyer sells you on continuing to retain him; your teachers sold you on doing your homework; politicians sell you on voting for them; mothers sell their children on eating their vegetables and children sell their parents on letting them do stupid things. Everyone sells. To start selling on a spiritual basis, I first had to develop spiritual practices to get me moving in the right direction. The following are some of the things I have learned to do to keep me on the spiritual path. One of my mentors says that the measure of my spirituality is not whether I get off of the path; we all get off of the path. The measure is how quickly I get back on. It is my prayer that these will help you as they have helped me.
