Resumen del Editor

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 vivid, engaging and eminently wise work, Dr. Lerner teaches women to identify the true sources of anger and to use anger as a powerful vehicle for creating meaningful and lasting change. The challenge of anger is at the heart of our struggle with intimacy, self-esteem, and joy. The Dance of Anger has inspired more "You changed my life" stories from both women and men than perhaps any other best seller on the American scene today.

must read

easy book to listen to I remained engaged and wanted to listen to mpre. so many great parts that spoke to me I would recommend to any woman.

Great book on developing the Self within relations

Great book on developing the Self within relationship. Also read her book on Intimacy. Good exercises to assist with change.

The Dance of Anger

This is probably a must-read (or must-listen) for every woman. As with all things in psychology, it is the study of the obvious, except that human beings don't see the obvious when it is right in front of our noses. I found it remarkably helpful, and will listen to it again.

The book has different stories used as examples, and moves quickly. It is read by the author, who has a somewhat flat voice, but one could easily imagine sitting listening to her, a real person, giving a talk on this, and she often interjects comments which sound as if they are not in the script.

After I heard this, I felt buoyant, because she so clearly described feelings that I have struggled with, and gave straightforward suggestions for dealing with those feelings. She is not talking about mental illness here, but about the way women in our society do not deal with anger in a way that helps us to better negotiate our lives. I thought her ideas and presentation were terrific.

A classic and powerful self-help

There are well articulated themes in this book. The only unfortunate part is the narration.

Very useful

I found this book to be quite helpful in getting to the root of anger as well as proven techniques with real people. I look forward to listening again as I'm sure there will be more to gain from doing so. Narration a bit glitchy at some points through out which were annoying but not extreme. I recommend to all women who struggle to manage their anger & those rearing female children.

Excellent even though dated and focus for women

I found this to be really insightful and very helpful and a bit amusing. It sounds very dated but is extremely relevant. It is written on the perspective of empowering women and for modern man should be no problem.

Great

Heard about this book on Brene Browns podcast with Harriet about apologizes. Everything these women have to say is wonderful

This book helped me a lot.

The situations in this book are so real for me right now. I will be listening again and taking notes this time.

Not the whole book

What did you like best about The Dance of Anger? What did you like least?

It is helpful, but does not cover the entire book. Her voice is ok, and she speaks slow enough, but once again, it does not cover the entire book

If you’ve listened to books by Harriet Lerner before, how does this one compare?
