From the Publisher
Dr. Laura Schlessinger is the incredibly popular and
controversial psychotherapist who hosts a nationally
syndicated, top-rated midday radio talk show. She has strong
convictions and doesn't hesitate to voice them to callers.
She urges women emphatically to lose a domineering jerk of a
lover and pick one of the "good guys," to stay home
and parent the babies they've made, and to follow the dream
rather than some dreamboat. Above all, she exhorts women not
to blame anybody or anything but themselves if they're
unhappy and their lives seem a mess.
10 Stupid Things Women Do to Mess Up Their Lives
uses real-world examples from Schlessinger's radio show and
private practice to drive the message home. And the message
is that our reticence to be bold and brave often makes us act
like stupid, submissive victims. Once we muster the courage
to take responsibility for our own problems and to tolerate
the discomforts of risk, the possibilities for personal
growth and joy are limitless.
If you're looking for an all-approving hand to hold, you
won't find it here. If you're prepared to take a clear-eyed
look at your self-diminishing behavior and to make the move
to a quality existence, there's no one better than
Schlessinger to keep you honest and to cheer you on. One
thing's for sure: You'll never look at your relationships,
behaviors and decisions the same way after you've finished
reading this book.
