"One of the only self-help books I thought was... helpful. Don't remember the details after 20 years but the basic idea really stuck. Don't expect someone else to change, you have to do it. And if you do, expect a reaction. The book deals with all sorts of relationships, mom/child, husband/wife, boss/employee, etc."
"An excellent book that compels the reader to look at patterns and personal history from a fresh perspective. Anger is an important topic, and especially so for woman since we have generally been socialized to deny it, internalize, contain it - to the detriment of relationships and health"
"I read Dance of Anger as soon as I finished Dance of Intimacy. The lessons of each book are the same, just with different examples and a slightly different focus. I gave both books five stars because I like the subject so much and I think Lerner does a great job of clearly explaining how to practically apply the concepts.
I LOVE and embrace the concepts of patterns in relationships, overfunctioning/underfunctioning, family systems and triangles. The most powerful message I took from these books is when you are stuck in a pattern with another person that causes yourself anger/anxiety/frustration etc. you cannot change the other person, but you can change your own part in the pattern, thus changing the pattern (for better or worse). Both books are empowering and eye opening.
Favorite messages from Dance of Anger (paraphrased) - Venting or suppressing anger does not solve the problem that anger signals. - Once a pattern is established, both parties perpetuate that pattern.
Favorite quotes from Dance of Intimacy - "We are always navigating relationships in the direction of greater or lesser degrees of self." - "The will to change and the desire to maintain sameness coexist for good reason.""
"A brilliant teaching book, it opens your eyes and shows you a side to life you may not have known existed and how to change yourself so all around you can change with you. The book teaches but if you are not ready to leanr, it wont do anything for you, but if you are ready to learn, it will give you great insight. It changed me, my life, my patterns and helped me understand the patterns around me, and understanding something is the greatest knowledge in life."
