Odd One Out: Radical Revelations on Relationships, Self-Help, and Personal Growth
I have been the Odd One Out all my life personally and professionally. Being on the outside looking in I have thought about and questioned much of what we have been told by TED Talks, self- help gurus, psychologists, therapists, parents, and teachers. Much of what they have been telling us is not totally true or accurate.
For instance, is depression and despair the same thing? If not then they need to be treated differently. Is anger the same thing as rage? Absolutely not. Now at the almost tender age of 70 and still the outsider, I am going to ask you, the reader, to think differently about a whole host of things we’ve been taught or told about psychology, relationships, therapy, anger, men’s issues, love, poetry, and much more.
This is my latest book published by Teitelbaum Publishing.

The Flying Boy Letters
While cleaning out my old office, I stumbled across a box of mail, written to me nearly thirty years ago in the wake of the publication of my seminal psychological memoir, “The Flying Boy: Healing the Wounded Man” and “The Flying Boy II: The Journey Continues” both published by Health Communications, Inc. A wave of guilt washed over me.

Emotional Intelligence for Couples
What makes a relationship healthy? Most men and women will respond that it’s good communication to be able to openly express their own thoughts and feelings, and to better understand their partner’s. Emotional Intelligence for Couples explains basic principles of emotional intelligence to equip you with common-sense ways to express your feelings, allowing you to enjoy greater intimacy, clearer communication, and a deeper connection than you have ever known.
Half-Lived Life
In The Half-Lived Life introduces and explains how passivity holds us hostage to old ways of doing things—and provides solutions on escaping this paralyzing state of mind, body, and spirit while increasing our emotional intelligence (EQ). It also shows the freedom to be gained via compassionate assertiveness—an outgrowth of setting boundaries and enforcing limits. Just as Lee’s seminars have successfully led many to find their authentic self in the second half of their life, so too will this book.

When the Buddha Met Bubba is the heart-warming story of Billy Bob (Bubba) Coker, a redneck who reached rock bottom, until a freak head injury results in the appearance of his own personal Buddha.

If you or someone you love is navigating their way through recovery, there’s one thing that will either be a roadblock or a catalyst on the journey: a true, holistic understanding of anger. Unfortunately, most recovery programs don’t address or properly understand anger, and many times, this leads to relapse or a rougher transition, even for people who don’t consider themselves “angry.”

We’ve all experienced moments when we lose control of a situation and ourselves. Now, in Growing Yourself Back Up, the first and only book to explain the idea of emotional regression to the general reader, bestselling author John Lee identifies the circumstances that cause these seemingly uncontrollable feelings and shows how they are directly tied to our experience as children.
Writing from the Body
A book about spirit, creativity, and the inner life of the writer
Certain writing books go beyond questions of craft and art to explore the deepest sources of the creative impulse. Writing from the Body is not a “head book”; it is a heart book, a shoulder book, a hand book, a back book, and a soul book that liberates writers from the shackles of self-consciousness and doubt.
The Secret Place of Thunder
This work weaves a tapestry with the thread’s of John Lee’s three passions: Psychology, Spirituality and Poetry.
A Quiet Strength

At My Father’s Wedding
Discusses the impact on men of a father’s abandonment and explains how men can develop a masculine model to help overcome the inability to commit, give, receive, and express feelings
Do you believe: “Anger” is a negative emotion? “Nice” or emotional sophisticated” people don’t get angry? Anger is the most misunderstood and consequently, painful of all our emotions. But denying, suppressing, and avoiding our own and others’ anger can have unfortunate results: weakened immune systems, numbing addictions, stormy relationships, lowered self-esteem.
Now, John Lee, the nationally renowned speaker, teacher, and author, shows you a better way of dealing with anger based on his work with clients and his own experiences with anger.
