Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

For most of my career, I've been writing self-help and psychology books (24 published), but I have also written fiction.

One of my latest books, The Half-Lived Life: Overcoming Passivity and Rediscovering Your Authentic Self, came out in 2012 and I've been working on several more!

In addition to writing, I'm also a public speaker, teacher, consultant and life coach. My areas of expertise are passivity, emotional regression, anger management, recovery, relationships, men's issues, spirituality and creativity.

I've been fortunate enough to have been featured on Oprah 3 times and have also appeared on 20/20, Dr. Oz radio program, The View, CNN, PBS, and NPR.

As a consultant and trainer, I've worked with The Betty Ford Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, Hanley Center, Guy's Hospital (London, England), The New York Open Center, South Pacific Hospital (Sydney, Australia), Mountain Area Health and Education Center (North Carolina) and numerous others.

Before becoming a writer I was a professor at the University of Texas and Alabama. I live in Austin, TX with two senior dogs.

5.0 out of 5 stars A truely helpful book
Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2010

This book could be called "the rage solution." John Lee draws the distinction between anger and rage. Anger is a natural emotion; rage is the behavior that gets me in trouble.
The author explains how anger can help a relationship when expressed in an appropriate manner while rage only drives two people further apart.
There are plenty of books out there about finding your bliss and following your passion, but if you are wrapped up in years of rage you won't be able to recognize passion if it knocked you up side head.
The author does not offer quick fixes for diffusing anger in the moment. Those tools are helpful but they don't do anything to uncover the source of the rage. This rage is grounded in the past and we are reacting to the past instead of the present.
The solutions offered in this book are simple but powerful ways of asking yourself questions that get at the source of the rage so you can move out of the past and deal with the present.
It's not just about anger and rage either. He discusses boundaries, limits, assertiveness, emotional regression and passivity. He shows how these elements contribute to rage or can be used to avoid more rage.
I learn best through the use of real-life examples and this book is chock full of them.
If you have been screaming for years to get what you want and nothing has changed - this book will show you why those screams may be driving you further away from your desires. Then it explains an alternative method that is simple and powerful.

Well written and easy to read. Very helpful especially for male clients who are more comfortable with learning a method than they are with traditional talk therapy. Equally effective for females, of course. The author makes an important distinction between rage and anger that helps both people who believe they shouldn't feel any anger at all, and those who express all anger as rage. This is a book I keep on hand to lend to clients.

Gave me a lot of insight into my anger issues. The solutions consist of lots of steps and techniques which I probably won't implement. The insight was good for me though . . . this lifelong process of self-improvement carries on . . . :-)

Discerning and understanding the difference between anger and rage is needed very much in current society. We see rage being enacted in the public sphere daily with tragic results. Lee has written how we can transform ourselves and our relationships and various institutions in society. I am grateful to Lee and will use this book for many situations.

Has some good points that I will use but felt like bulk of book not a good fit for me. This book mostly talks about anger stemming from some past event, I don't feel like that's my situation. I would still recommend this book because it may help someone else , but for me, I will continue my search for a book that better suites me.

Not very helpful - a lot of air-blowing and making an elephant out of an ant. Sure, some good thoughts in there, but reading the Coles-notes version would have been a better use of my time. Meaning, this book could be condensed to a pamphlet.
