Anger Management book advice please

Profsparks

Hi all.

A couple of weeks ago I was diagnosed with ASD, I'm 51 in April.

It explains almost everything, yet changes almost nothing.

I divorced my wife of thirteen years last July, and am finding it hard to deal with my residual anger toward her. I see my kids occasionally, but as they remain a link to her, I'm afraid they will get the brunt of my feelings.

Can anyone recommend a book on how to think round my issues please?

There seems to be a wide range of literature available to choose from, but too much choice is too much.

Thanks in advance

Steve

    Hi Maia,

    This idea of the Welsh Divorce is something that Laurie Taylor could cover in his Thinking Allowed series http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006qy05 His programmes often cover fascinating descriptions of cultural and social goings on. It isn't always massively scientific but it does provide insight into other people's lives.

    Getting over things and moving on is not really a new concept. Not harbouring grudges is part of the christian tradition that goes back 2000 years. Other religions, such as buddhism, also take a non revengeful view of life. (Other religions are available - I'm not an expert on their key features and differences) I'm not religious - the pomp and rituals never made any sense to me and the existence of a god was always problematic from my scientific viewpoint but there are some deeply useful things that are well described in some religious traditions.
