Lately, I have been reading ‘The Dance of Anger’ and a few of the girls in Piecing got so fed up with my preaching to them about the book that they suggested I start a new thread on it. It was written by Harriet Lerner and published by HarperCollins (does that count as copyright acknowledgement?)
The premise of the book is that anger is a signal that something needs changing in our world, a symptom of discontent with who we are and how we interact with each other. Anger is a feeling and, as such, has no moral value, is neither wrong nor right. But ignoring it or trying to bury or suppress it leads to inner dissatisfaction and conflict.
Any takers?
