Dr. Laura Schlessinger is the incredibly popular and controversial psychotherapist who hosts a nationally syndicated, top-rated midday radio talk show and is the author of the bestselling How Could You Do That?! 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.Ten 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 reticience to be bold and brave often makes us act like stupid, submissive victims. Once we muster the courage to take repsonibility 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 listening to this audio.

"I said that I would never read a book by this woman, but for some reason I picked up this book and decided to check it out. I expected to be very critical of her views and probably angry. I was very surprised that she made way to much sense for me to even think twice about not reading it thorough to the end. I would reccommend this book to any woman who just can't seem to figure out what is wrong with all of her relationship/marriages. I am so glad that I read this book." — Jan (5 out of 5 stars)

" Very applicable, she doesn't baby you and definitely tells it like it is. Learned a lot! "
" How you know when your making stupid decisions in your love life. "
" My mom gave me this book and it was ok. "
" I read this before she turned into a religious nutbag. And it really helped me get out of self defeating behaviors. "
" Personally, I thought this was good helpful book for women to read. Sure, some things she says are harsh, but sometimes the truth is harsh. "
" She's right. . . on almost all counts. Thank goodness (according to her) my problems are minimal. However- I went a little crazy that she was so free with her negative comments. Sure- women need to see how it is AND THEN they need to know how they can change. People might respond differently if she told them how wonderful they are and how they are living beneath their deserved lifestyle. Just a couple thoughts. . . "
" Thanks for the book Dad. :O) "
" All women should read this book. "
" I only gave this 2 stars because it wasn't really relevant to me. It is mostly about choosing the right man and I already chose the right one! "
" Every woman should read this. "
" I got this as a gift after a bad break-up! I did enjoy reading it, and learned a few things about my self. "
" I'd like to pinch her little head off. My God! There's common sense and there's commense sense that's rammed down your throat. "
" sex is a contract between people so if your not married and make a baby you are still responsible for it, duh. "
" Simple and clear. "
" No one ever wants to admit they do "stupid" things. However, this books allows you to laugh at yourself (and others). "
" I read this back when I was single following my divorce. SO VERY VERY good. Sometimes you just need straight talk, ya know? "
" Every young woman should read this and take it to heart. "
" This was ok as I remember. Not as good as her Courage, Conscience book called How Could You Do That. "
" Wow she described just about every woman I have ever met or watched on tv, movies. "
" Dr. Laura is a crack pot. "
" Got it as a teenager, and recommend it to young women or women who always pick "Mr. Wrong". "
" Wish I had this along time ago. Not a big Dr. Laura fan, but you can't argue with some of her advice here. A good read for women and pass it a long to your daughters. "
" What a freak..... "
" My mom had read this one, like it, so she bought me a copy. I was surprised at how much I actually agreed with Dr. Laura. She can sound quite harsh sometimes, but has excellent points! "
" It's amazing how many of these things I committed. She really holds women to a high standard and makes many good points. A lot of people find her harsh but sometimes you need to hear it. There are a lot of easy traps to fall into. "
" Not at all impressed with this book. Gave it an okay because I did agree that many women put themselves into the situations listed in the book. "
" I read this when I was going through troubled times in my 1st marriage. It really helped me to take control of my life and realize that I was being an idiot by staying. "
" Yes, I've done that, that, and that. How about you? "
" My dad paid me to read this book. I don't even remember what it was about. "
" I read this book in high school. I think I liked it, but, years later, I cannot stand Dr. Laura. Her judgmental, self-righteous rants really irritate me. "
" Should have read this 15 years ago............ "
