He has since written eight other books on anger, fathers and sons, mothers and sons, and other relationships, the most recent being Facing the Fire: Experiencing and Expressing Anger Appropriately and Growing Yourself Back Up: Understanding Emotional Regression.

In the tradition of Mark Twain and Will Rogers, Lee has earned a reputation as one of America’s leading humorists and storytellers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book!, February 8, 2009

Engineer from VT (Jericho, VT) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Courting a Woman's Soul (Paperback)

This is a brilliant little book that chronicles how the flying boy finally lands. And like other significant transitions in life this landing is not without some turbulence. John describes the process in his own unique, deeply honest and eloquent fashion. John teaches so effectively not by lecturing us about us but by sharing experientially his own process (this is not narcissism). He combines his experience with penetrating insight, compassionate understanding, wit and humor. He delivers highly sophisticated concepts in a casual and personal package. This book is the culmination of many years of hard inner work the result of which is what most people will never experience: a deeply satisfying and authentic relationship that promotes ongoing personal growth and encourages one to become fully present and fully human with the partner they love. I highly recommend this book.

This review is from: Courting a Woman's Soul (Paperback)

I have been a fan and follower of John Lee since 1992. This book is such a disappointment. I simply cannot believe the narcissistic material contained in this book It flies in the face of everything Lee teaches others. Shame on you John Lee.
