This book should be required reading for every high school American! It is informative and insightful. The study digs deep into the underbelly of anger and gives practical suggestions on how to properly express oneself in order to avoid resorting to an outburst. It teaches where one's own responsibility lies in communication and interaction with those around us, and clearly outlines the boundaries we can set for ourselves. Very helpful and easy to understand.

This book was, for me, the pivitol information I needed in order to change myself so that I coould begin my journey of self-knowledge on the road to becoming a mentally-healthy, strong, and normal (whatever that is) person. I can't thank Harriet Lerner enough for having written it and I wish her many years of happiness and productivity -- more books!

I enjoyed reading this book, which was suggested to me by my counselor. It helped me understand that it is normal and okay to be angry, just voice it the correct way...focusing on YOU instead of what the other person did or didn't do. Realized I am an overfunctioner and this alone will change my life for the better. I would highly recommend this book.

From the back cover: Harriet Goldhor Lerner, a psychotherapist at the Menninger Foundation, illuminates the causes and patterns of anger while providing specific strategies for making meaningful and lasting change in important relationships. Basing her conclusions on a decade of clinical investigations and drawing on recent findings from psychoanalytic and family systems theory, she illustrates how, and why, our anger (be it vented through fighting and blaming or silence and emotional distancing) often protects rather than challenges existing relationship dynamics. And she explains the difficulties women have not only in getting angry but also in using their anger to gain a stronger, and more independent, sense of self.

This is a book I recommend a lot. I enjoy the universal way it can speak to anyone, though many see it as focused on women. I found it very meaningful, easy to understand, and eye opening to the circular patterns of behavior in relationships. It is one of those books you can go back and reference again and again.
