Summary: Great, excellent
Review: I highly recommend this to anyone in a struggling relationship. After 10 years of marriage I could see no way of getting along with my wife. My therapist suggested this book and it just opened up a whole new world for me. My marriage is safe and strong. Don't let the title fool you, this is just as much for men as women, yes I am a guy.....

Summary: Not what I expected
Review: I expected this book to tell me that I need to change my attitude toward people I cannot get along with. Instead I learned that I just need to express myself in a different way to get what I want. This book gave me insight into why I do what I do. Just by being able to express myself, I can change the problems I've been complaining about. It may not always be easy but I've gotten rid of my anger and am less stressed.

Summary: A newlywed's marriage saver
Review: I am a newlywed(2 years) whose honeymoon ended after the honeymoon. My husband and I fought constantly and I had a ton of pent up anger. I would never have read this book if my therapist hadn't recommened it. Thank God for him! I used what I learned in the book to help me learn where my anger was comming from and to help me control my anger. We now have a wonderful relationship and we're back in the honeymoon stage!

Summary: A life saver for the 21st century
Review: This book is the greatest self help book I have ever read. And I've read plenty! In clear, easy to understand real life examples, Harriet Lerner succinctly explains the bugaboo of all relationships---over functioning and underfunctioning. From her book I truly learned how nagging and pitching a fit keeps me and my loved ones in non proactive relationships. Lerner explains so clearly something that I secretly felt but couldn't put my finger on--- when I get worked up and emotional about something my husband, friends, family members don't have to get emotional. Because I'm doing all the emoting or as Lerner says, overfunctioning. Once I read this book I quickly got off the lamest teeter totter ever created and started getting real results in my life. Every woman should read this book.

Summary: Quit the Dance
Review: Oh yes! Quit the dance, at least the one that make you became a sombie in this world. Let that anger became something productive. If you do not have a clue HOW to do this, read this book. Ms Lerner show us the very best way to control that anger inside everyone, and furthermore, how to use it in the most productive ways. But of course, this book can not make miricales, unless you take the desition to chanche the "Old Dance" , yet it shall give you an inside and professional example of how and when and etc...to deal with it, .... the anger, the battle, ...... let yourself win that battle. Angela.

Summary: Should be on everyone's shelf.
Review: As a person who works with others about "transforming" their issues, I couldn't recommend this book too highly. The author knows her stuff and knows how to communicate it. After I recommend my own cassette tapes cassette tapes on Meditation, Creative Visualization,and Releasing Anger and Resentment, I recommend this book.

Summary: Dancing Away
Review: This book had some stories that were interesting about relationships, but some of them seemed to get out of the 'anger' theme. Well, the main theme is that there is a dance, namely a pattern in anger in relationships and that usually serves to cover other hidden issues. The book gets kind of syrupy sometimes and that is why the 3 stars.

Summary: An education on personal anger
Review: I have been through group therapy and psychoanalysis. I have read thousands of pages on anxiety and depression. But, this book was a primer for me on anger.In the past, I was taught that anger was a negative side effect of other emotional problems. Therefore, I believed my anger would disappear if I 'fixed' myself in general. Now, I realize that anger is a healthy signal to balance specific life areas. My anger is natural and not a flaw in my character. The author helped me address my anger issues with myself, my husband, my children, and my mother-in-law! I am thrilled that my therapist recommended this book. I am busy recommending it to all my friends.

Summary: A great help to all women!
Review: This book was very helpful for me and my friend. I noticed a substantial change in my behavior when arguing (especially at work) after reading this book. I found myself getting what I wanted without insults, cheap shots, or hurt feelings. It was so good, I even suggested that my mom read it!
