Story
When The Dance of Deception was published, Lerner discovered that women were not eager to identify with the subject. "Well, I don't do deception" was a common response. We all "do deception", often with the intention to protect ourselves and the relationships we depend on. The Dance of Deception unravels the ways (and whys) that women show the false and hide the real - even to our own selves. We see how relationships are affected by lying and faking, by silence and pretending and by brave - but misguided - efforts to tell the truth.

People with borderline or narcissistic personality disorders have a serious mental illness that primarily affects their intimate, personal, and family relationships. Often they appear to be normally functioning at work and in public interactions, and narcissists may even be highly effective, in the short term, in some work or social situations. However, in intimate relationships, they can be emotional, aggressive, demeaning, illogical, paranoid, accusing, and controlling - in the extreme.

Publisher's Summary
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.

Quick, concise, tactics and a good narrator
I've never left a review before. I'll first talk about the book, without trying to give away anything (read it!), and then the narrator.
BOOK: This book is really awesome. I'm not a fan of reading self help books, I find them preachy, repetitive, and drawn out. This was the exact opposite. The book was written like a good paper: tell them what you're going to tell them, explain it in detail, summarize what you've told them. She goes over what the book will do and what it won't do. Then she goes into it, providing ONE example. Towards the end, she introduces a new concept. Before she delves into the new concept, she summarizes everything you've just learned, gives a different spin on the example, and tells you what chapter to go back to if you need more help. She then reintroduces the new topic and explores that further. It was very clear, and very quick.
NARRATOR: She did an awesome job. SUPERB. I loved listening to her. I actually thought she was the author because she spoke so authoritatively. She didn't try to get fancy and come up with voices/accents for each character the author noticed. In fact, I did not appreciate how wonderful of a job she did until I started listening to the "Why Won't You Apologize" book by the same author, narrated horribly by someone else. Barbara Caruso did such a good job, I'm going to look for other books narrated by her. But for this self-help book, her ability to speak so clearly and authoritatively really just drove home all the points the author made. It was a wonderful combination.

Most helpful self help book ever!
Any additional comments?
I originally read this book 20 years ago, and recently felt the need to revisit it. I downloaded the audio book (long commute) and found it just as helpful. The narrator was excellent, and I love the stories and different examples of how to put the advice into play. I only wish that there were a non gender specific version for reluctant men, because the advice given does bridge the gender gap if one is able to "hear" past the she/her narrative.

A wonderful, insightful book
This is the 3rd time I've returned to this book and each time I find new insights. Harriet Lerner has helped a great many people with this book, the discussion on who is responsible for what, the questions she guides us to ask ourselves and the position of being for ourselves and not against others is just what I have needed time and again in my life.
Harriet helps us to see that as women we're often encouraged to feel responsible for the thoughts, feelings and wellbeing of others but not for our own, she calls this being in a de-selfed position. By owning the responsibility for our own wellbeing, seeing where and how our actions are part of the patterns in which we are entrenched, we can choose new behaviours breaking the cycle of impotent anger and using our anger as a tool for transformation and self empowerment.

Some useful information but the CIO stuff...
... really hasn't aged well and made me lose trust in the author completely.
(Paraphrasing) "Her mother was beginning to make ridiculous, fantastical, extreme assertions about the way she was leaving her infant to cry alone. Saying it would somehow traumatise or damage a helpless infant attempting to communicate their needs to the adult they are entirely reliant upon for survival. She did the right thing by ignoring these ridiculous ideas and continuing with this treatment of her child".
Erm, I know this was written decades ago but... I've got something to tell you 😬

Continues to be relevant 35 years on
This book gives women permission to be angry and to use anger as a signal for highlighting unmet needs. Dr Learner also gives examples of how women can be angry without holding a grudge and distancing from the people they care about or letting loose and ruining their chance for change in relationships. Dr Learner uses Family Systems Theory in a way that is understandable to general public and normalizes family resistance to change, motivating women to persist with personal change in relationships.

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.
