Publisher Comments

An empowering, soulful approach to a subject brought to light with the classic bestseller The Dance of Anger, Healing Rage shows women how to understand their rage, ease its destructive potential, and preserve its wisdom.

Self-help authors rarely distinguish between anger and rage, but Ruth King has devoted her career to exploring the subtle varieties of rage while challenging the notion that rage is an “evil” emotion that must be eradicated. In Healing Rage, she gives all readers access to her pioneering, breakthrough program, which has already changed thousands of lives through workshops nationwide.

King identifies six common disguises of rage (dominance, defiance, devotion, distraction, depression, and dependence) and provides healing exercises that integrate body, mind, and wisdom. She also teaches us how to embrace and respect rage, allowing it to fuel us and play a creative role in shaping our relationships.

Written for every woman—ranging from counselors and their patients to those who may not realize that rage is at the root of their unhappiness—Healing Rage is a unique invitation for transformation. A sampling of Healing Rage became an O Magazine Nugget in the July 2007 issue.

Healing Rage is also available in Italian through Edizioni Frassinelli S.R.L., 2007. Read an Italian Review by il Giornale Magazine.
