Publisher's Summary

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.

Critic Reviews

Wish I listened to the Sample beforehand

I struggle to finish this book, for me narrators voice was very off putting as being dyslexic I really rely on audible as reading is such a struggle.

Really valuable and helpful information presented in a clear and relatable way. Gave me a healthy way to view my anger and that of my partner as well as other important relationships.

Great Content and Approachable Narration

Would you listen to The Dance of Anger again? Why?

I would definitely listen to this book again.
Lerner provides very helpful examples and advice for analysing our moments of anger and turning the scenario around to allow the recognition of anger create constructive changes in our lives and our relationships with other.
Her narration is natural and engaging, and there were some moments that made me laugh.
I genuinely enjoyed listening to this book and will probably go back to it in order to keep remembering her tips.

Confronting and brilliant

I had been feeling pretty stuck, then I listened to this book and realized I was experiencing a similar situation to many of her examples. I've already begun to apply what I've learned and noticed a change.
