'IN Control : No More Snapping at Your Family, Sulking at Work, Steaming in the Grocery Line, Seething in Meetings, Stuffing Your Frustration' written by Redford and Virginia Williams may work on readers as long as they put a lot of work in to it. 'IN Control' has the reader follow an eight week program to gain control over life and emotions, particularly anxiety and anger. Each week gives tasks for the reader to practice such as communication, learning to say 'no!' effectively, reaction control, and how to be optimistic. In starting the program, the reader is instructed to take a self-assessment test, and once again at the end. Even though I found several of the eight steps to be common sense practices, I would not recommend this book for a first time reader of the 'motivation' book genre; there is simply too much information to keep this an easy read in an already stressful life. 'IN Control' is great for picking up helpful tips on managing stress and overwhelming emotions, but could be even more effective if cut down to the point, and not involving an eight week commitment.
