About this listen

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. 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 listeners 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.

Female oriented but still useful

It’s a pity that this was so female oriented as so much of the story affects men as well.

10/10 Mind Blowing Life Changing

I wish I had heard of this book before I got married but perhaps I wasn’t ready. Now in my 40’s & 2 marriages later I’m now re-born & understand the tools & how to not get caught up in the drama triangle. Now I will dance in the joy of pleasing myself. Not in anger!

Life changing

This book is basically talking about boundaries but I love that it gives so many practical ideas and ways to enforce boundaries which is what I’ve had trouble with in the past. I saw myself in many of the examples and will definitely find this book useful to re listen to.

It’s also taught me too that I’m not responsible for anyone but myself.

Not just about Anger: Will make sense your entire life!

This book blew my mind. I feel like every relationship in my life finally makes sense. All the patterns, habits, communication...just like “ooooohhhh I get it now”. I feel like this book would help women AND men, and not just with anger. It explains all our patterns in relationship so that we can FIX them if we want to. And if we have the courage.

An excellent look inwards

I thought this book was an excellent way to look inwards and understand dynamics and how they relate to anger within a relationship
