Review

After The Power of Now, I thought I would never find another self-help book that was even a quarter as useful as that. I was wrong. Mike George's book on anger, like a Zen master's teaching, is simple yet profound. This isn't one of those wishy-washy books about forgiving people. It's just the opposite....a spiritually powerful little book.

About the Author

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

In a unique blend of insight, wisdom and humour, Mike brings together the three key strands of 21st century - self-awareness, emotional/spiritual intelligence and continuous ‘unlearning’.

Mike is an author of twelve books on how to expand, deepen and fine-tune your self-awareness and thereby restore the true nature of your 'being' which is peaceful, loving and contented. He illustrates how you can never permanently lose your authentic self or your true nature, only block it, sabotage it and avoid it. Any moments of stress, suffering or sorrow, are symptoms of such a 'temporary' loss.

Mike talks, teaches and tutors across the world on topics such as self-management, emotional resilience, liberating leadership, difficult conversations and ‘continuous unlearning’.

He says in his latest book MINDSETS:

"If you are like the vast majority of us then no one taught you how to understand and manage your self. No one showed you how, as a 'being of consciousness', you actually work. No one could help you to realize who you 'really' are and what you are here to do. It's not an academic subject. It doesn't even come under 'parental guidance' because they probably didn't know themselves. It's not even in the domain of psychology, psychiatry or any therapy! It's in the territory of self-awareness and self-realization which are the foundations for self-management. Cultivate each of these aspects of self-understanding and all is gradually revealed from 'inside out'.

Thirty five years ago, after an intense period of stressful living, I started to realize all this. Fifteen years ago I started to write about it. This past year three more books were published on how to be well, be clear and be your self. When you are well, when you have clarity, when you are being authentic, your happiness follows naturally.

Books don't change you. No book can actually change the way you think, what you feel, the decisions you make and how your life will unfold. That's your job. But they do provide signposts and signals, insights and wisdom, inspiration and guidance. They 'help' you to realize and know for self how to live your life with greater clarity and compassion, satisfaction and success, love and laughter. Above all, laughter!"

A friend recommended this book to me when he was going through a separation from his wife. I must admit that I was skeptical at first and the introduction was hard going. It took me quite a while to get into this book as its not a particularly easy read as it calls for time to stop and reflect on what the writer is saying. I kept picking it up and putting it down again for quite a while. It also has a spirtual slant, so again, you need time to absorb the contents of each section and then continue. That said, when you step back and think about what is being said, it makes total sense!! Self awareness about how you react to people and situations is the key to a whole new way of life. You have control over you and only you. Once you get that, it opens the door to a whole new state of being, one that is calm and free from anger. one that is indeed "Wise". Definitely worth reading to the end.

Absolutely one of the best books I have ever read about anger and other destructive emotions. I would read a while and let what he was saying soak in and then go back for more. He knows what he is talking about and explains it clearly and concisely.

This book has has changed my life. I'd always thought anger was a natural reflex, like the 'fight or flight' response. After reading this book, I've empowered myself by choosing peace and calm, and rendering formerly annoying situations practically invisible. It's like a superpower.

I am rating this book 5 because I think it provides really good Ideas on how to control your anger. It is an easy read and not com plicated to understand. I will definately be on the lookout for other titles by this author and interested in what else he has to say. I would recommend the book to anyone who thinks anger is everyone elses fault and finds themselves on a daily struggle with it (like me). Very good read.
