The Dance of Connection (Abridged): How to Talk to Someone When You’re Mad, Hurt, Scared, Frustrated, Insulted, Betrayed, or Desperate Audiobook

" Not as good as her other books. "

" Sparked perhaps by an underlying connection to an older book which has held a place in my personal library for many years, I picked this up and am finding it refreshing that there is no follow this plan and this happens or that happens -- again, an echo of the earlier book. None of the usual self-help "magic" solution style -- just informational and thought provoking. We shall see if it holds up to the end. "

" It was an interesting book on communication effectively. "

" It seems as if we are seeing a maturing Harriet Learner. Her earlier books seemed to be focused on women's anger and their frustrations over intimacy. In this one, I think she is ready to bridge the gap. I guess we all had to process all the garbage first. Now we are moving on. "

" Another insightful read. "

" A few things from Dance of Anger were repeated in this book, but there was a lot of valuable information on how to communicate effectively. "

" I am learning so much and love Dr Lerner's writing style. Very relatable. "

" I listened to this audio book 3 times last week. Excellent principles to guide me as I try to maintain my connection to my estranged daughter. "

" Such an insightful book on a topic that does not come naturally to many! "

" I really like this "Dance" series. Like the "Dance of Anger" and the "Dance of Intimacy" this one is thorough and clear. "

" I love the way Lerner rights, and this book is worth having in your personal self-help collection. This is the second time I've read this specific book, and the fourth of her books in all. Great reads for anyone struggling to find their voice, or wishing to learn how to communicate. Great for women. "

" This book is less "script" and more "insight" into human character, which I enjoy. "

" This is a must read -- if only we all learned how to communicate! "

" Insightful, with practical ways to rebuild love and connection with those who matter most.. "

" I'm reading this one slowly.. there's some good in here, but it's not as earth-shattering as some of Harriet Lerner's other books. "

" Excellent, if daunting, advice written in plain language. "

" This was an extraordinary book. Harriet speaks about how our words affect others. Making the connection to other, even those we love takes patience, perseverance and a great deal of self-awareness. "

" Will help you find your personal voice and communicate more effectively without hurting the other person. "

" Awesome book on authencity and having a voice "

" This book is about improving communication within difficult relationships - especially family members. For me, it was easy to read because it has lots of personal stories and examples. The concepts make sense, there are some good ideas - but it's not touted as a "cure-all". "

" Read and also listened to it. "

" Read bit by bit between Dec. 2009 and Feb. 2010. Some good advice. Must finish sometime. Had to return to library; ran out of renewal options. :) "
