Full of anger, I read the “dancing anger” book, seeking solace. Dr. Harriet Lerner strangled my hopes of resolution.

Susie Orbach endorses Lerner's book, with the disclaimer “It will be extremely useful for almost every reader.” Sad to say, I found the book useless.

Harriet Lerner probes the sore tooth of anger, walking us through real life scenarios, filled with frustrated women.

She encourages us to shake off old societal norms, discover the source of our anger and take action.

Lerner sketches diagrams of family trees, illustrating how conflicts and subsequent anger unravels the fabric of family dynamics.

Lerner snagged my waning attention in chapter nine: “Tasks for the Daring and Courageous.” The subsequent chapters, written in a different format, changed my reading experience from negative to tolerant.

Most women, and some men, exalt this book. Who am I to argue with the world and Susie Orbach?
