The Ultimate Guide to Transforming Anger: Dynamic Tools for Healthy Relationships

Lisa is co-author with Peaco Todd and Jane Middelton-Moz of The Ultimate Guide to Transforming Anger: Dynamic Tools for Healthy Relationships (Health Communications, 2005). She originated the concept of Anger-obics, and developed the majority of the Anger-obics exercises in the book.

She has taught writing and creativity workshops throughout New England and in the Caribbean since 1994. She has also taught Anger-obics workshops since 2003 with co-author Peaco Todd at conference centers, such as Learning Connection (Providence) and All That Matters (Wakefield, RI) and for corporations and organizations such as New Balance Athletic Shoes, the Dana Farber Cancer Institute and the Ocean State Association of Residential Resources.

As an undergraduate, Lisa Tener studied writing with the late Frank Conroy, during his tenure as Director of the Literature Program at the National Endowment for the Arts (before he became Director of the Iowa Writer’s Workshop), Broadway Playwright A.R. Gurney, Jr., and award-winning poets Jean Valentine and Gjertrud Schnackenberg. She earned her Master’s degree from MIT’s Sloan School of Management where she concentrated in marketing. She earned her Bachelor’s degree from MIT, where she minored in writing. Anger-obics was inspired by her studies in alternative and complementary healing modalities.

Prior to becoming an author, trainer and coach, she served as Executive Director of Hospitality Homes in Boston, an organization that provides housing for the families of patients who visit Boston for medical treatment. The housing is in the homes of volunteer hosts. During her tenure, the organization increased services by more than 300% and increased income by over 400%.
