What People are Saying About John Lee's Anger Work
Literary Reviews
"In his 15th book, Lee (The Flying Boy: Healing the Wounded Man ) sets forth a syllabus for improving relationships through a step-by-step program to deal with long-buried anger and rage. By differentiating between the two, readers can identify troublesome and defining events from their own histories that unseated their well-being. Perhaps the most insightful portion of the book is Lee's chapter on passivity, which he describes as one of the most toxic and overlooked traits often found in unhealthy relationships. Reading this book would be a pragmatic first step for someone seeking to manage his or her anger and forge deeper connections with others. Although it appeals to men and women, men may particularly find Lee's exploration of cultural implications of masculinity valuable."

“John
Lee's presentation is excellent. With a sense of humor, a sincere
interest in his audience, and a high level of subject expertise, John
presented practical ways to express anger appropriately.
He had the audience riveted as he explained the difference between
anger and rage; explained why we lapse into regression; and, described
ways to bring people out of regression.
The audience walked away with dozens of actions they can take
immediately to improve themselves
personally and professionally.
I highly recommend John and his Expressing Anger
Appropriately in the Workplace and Home.”
