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.

"Listened to the audiobook. I like how the author explains what she means when she provides examples in her book of clients she’s had and how they can change/have changed their unhelpful cycle of anger in their relationships with family/spouse/boss.<br/>It was helpful to hear examples of what they could do to break the cycle and how to channel the anger into making a healthier choice that won’t affect the other person too directly.<br/>I like how she mentioned in all of them that usually it’s a power struggle of trying to change the other person to the way you think or try to make them agree with your perspective/beliefs.<br/>When in fact you shouldn’t be doing that at all and need to control your own thoughts/emotions/actions. So she tends to show how to reword things to yourself more than putting blame on the other person.<br/><br/>Applying this knowledge will be hard though and will take time to truly understand and apply it effectively when angry. This is one I’ll have to come back to listen/read, to study and relearn a lot.<br/><br/>"
