"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.

Earlier this year, Tony Hendra’s memoir, Father Joe: The Man Who Saved My Soul, spent 13 weeks on the New York Times best seller list. The book detailed his life as a comedian who launched the careers of John Belushi and Chevy Chase and helped create such cult classics as This Is Spinal Tap while he struggled with inner demons including alcohol and drug abuse. But there was a glaring omission in his supposed tell-all confessional: his sexual abuse of his daughter, Jessica Hendra, when she was a young girl.

Truly Addictive

Summary
Then she discovered her husband had been beaten as a child, taught by his parents that intimacy and rage danced together. He brought violence into their life, pouring coffee grinds over her hair, choking and threatening her with a gun during arguments. Several times, he came close to making good on his threats to kill her. Leslie's mistake is one millions identify with: she fell in love with the wrong man. It took one last terrifying attack to convince her that he would kill her one day if she let him.
Gripping and compelling, Crazy Love unravels the traps laid by love, mesmerizing listeners with insights into why smart women stay in unhealthy relationships - and how one found the courage to leave.

Wasn’t sure what to expect
I chose this book as it was one of those included in my membership. I really wasn’t sure what to expect and initially the protagonist really grated on me. A rich well educated young lady who made a bad choice of life partner. The first few times she got beaten up I was just shouting at my stereo “why the hell did you leave him?”. However as the story progressed I really start to get an insight into her conflict, and understand why she and so many other battered women might not be able to leave their partners. This is really an exemplary book Petru triumph over the old story and I am glad that they also got away without losing her life. Well worth listening to.

This is a must read
Before I read this book I was just thinking it’s just another book I have to read for class. I’m not the biggest fan of reading but I must say that I was so intrigued after reading the part one that I got the audio for the rest of the book and listened as I read my book. Reading this book made me feel all sorts of emotions, emotions that I didn’t think I could even feel. I felt a lot of anger, sadness and then excitement. This book really touched me, there were even moments where I teared up because I could visualize what Steiner went through and it was so heartbreaking. This book really opened my eyes and has made me even take a step back to analyze my own relationship with my partner. I recommend this book to anyone honestly. I loved the book so much it was very powerful in its message and it’s just a must read. You won’t regret reading this book.

The casual racism and classism the author displays in the first 30 minutes of this story alone is so disappointing, and makes it hard to recommend in spite of the important topic.

Inspirational story on how one woman got out.
As a victim of domestic violence it was hard to listen to this at times but I resonated with so much. Yes, she's a little elitist and sounds biased and uppity at times but if you can get past that and hear her story it's a reminder that domestic violence survivors share the common experience that changes our lives forever. I'll always support anyone willing to talk about it to help others get out and let them know they are never alone.

Dispicable
I don't understand how anyone can digest this narcissist mess. I couldn't get past the first chapter where she is doing nothing but talking herself up, bragging about her ivy league education and social status- ME,ME,ME disgusting and then she casually mentions how a "latino woman smelled like enchiladas and cigarette smoke". I truly don't understand the high ratings for this filth. Don't give this self important racist book the time of day

Terrible
I could not even finish it. I saw the author on a TED talk and thought her book would be a good book to listen to but it was not. There are details that are not needed, she talks so much about her education, working for Seventeen and her family wealth. It reads like a fictional story. I would not recommend.

Mouth Dropping
This is about an extreme case of narcissism that is becoming very common. This story is exceptionally written, heart touching, and eye opening. I'm going to put it out there that this behavior is greatly increasing because of enablers. I'd rather be the crazy, old, cat lady with the spooky house than be in a relationship with someone like him. I actually think this book is a must read for teenagers so they can recognize the signs early on and nope out of any similar relationship.
