    About this audiobook

    The renowned classic and New York Times bestseller that has transformed the lives of millions of readers, dramatically changing how women and men view relationships.

    Anger is something we feel. It exists for a reason and always deserves our respect and attention. We all have a right to everything we feel—and certainly our anger is no exception.

    ""Anger is a signal and one worth listening to,"" writes Dr. Harriet Lerner in her renowned classic that has transformed the lives of millions of readers. While anger deserves our attention and respect, women still learn to silence our anger, to deny it entirely, or to vent it in a way that leaves us feeling helpless and powerless. In this engaging and eminently wise book, Dr. Lerner teaches both women and men to identify the true sources of anger and to use it as a powerful vehicle for creating lasting change.

    For decades, this book has helped millions of readers learn how to turn their anger into a constructive force for reshaping their lives. With a new introduction by the author, The Dance of Anger is ready to lead the next generation.

      Very good. Her book allowed me to apply some of her methods into practice for my household. I recommend this book to those who wish to work on their relationships with their love ones.

      An incredibly helpful book, if used and not just read through, in restructuring relationships of all kinds into positive and healthy ones. Not so complicated as we might expect!

      A really good (though sometimes cheesy) look at relationships and how to change some of the patterns we find ourselves in within those relationships. Highly recommended.

      Narration was boring to follow and the case studies were mediocre.
    • 5/5
      Brilliant! Concrete and solid processes to analyze and process anger to advance relationships and relationship with ourselves.
    • 4/5
      This book is full of useful insights into how relationships work and how our behavior can change relationship cycles. My only disappointment is the lack of discussion of abuse. The assumption in this book seems to be that the relationship is not an abusive one and so is worthy of rescuing.

      Absolutely loved it! So much good and helpful advice in here.
    • 5/5
      Amazing! Definitely gave me a lot ti think about !
    • 3/5
      Lots of good stuff, but also lots of generalizing about "we women" that I could have done without. However, if you read it as gender neutral, all the advice seems to be spot on.
    • 4/5
      This is a great book for helping to unlock the reasons we hold onto anger, an emotion which is so, so damaging to our health and relationships.
    • 5/5
      So great! I will probably have to listen to it a second time but, it was an easy audiobook to listen to. Would recommend :D

      I was in therapy this summer briefly, but long enough for my therapist to recommend this book. I read through it and several times spotted some things that I do sometimes, but I can't say it was life changing. Mostly it reminded me that I need to be honest about my feelings and I need to set clear boundaries and stick to them.
