Book Description
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.

 | Honest Feb 21, 2007 |
| I think that every woman should read this book ~ maybe even a requirement for young women in school. I wish I had read it when I was younger... I might not have squandered so many years doing all the things she says not to do. To me, this is the handbook for women ~ & c'mon, it's a quick, good, & life-changing read! | | |  | not very deep Feb 20, 2007 |
It does not have much depth. It basically tells you one thing: as a woman, be independent, do not mentally(emphasis of the book) or economically rely on men. I do not think I learned much by reading the book. Some case stories are interesting but I would expect more depth in explaning why this is so and why this is not so.
But if you are upset or depressed because a man rejected you or something like that, this book may help you feel better because you will know that it does not just happen to you becuase there are so many other more unfortunate women. | | | | I wish I read this as a teenager! Feb 17, 2007 |
| No one ever told me these things. This is one fabulous book. I am a university counselor and the young women I see were never told these things either. I recommend it to all of them. | | | | YOUNG WOMEN: READ THIS!!! Feb 6, 2007 |
I wish I had 500 copies of this book and could hand them out to every grocery store cashier and 18-year-old girl I ran across. SO much GREAT information about relationships and life that most girls just DON'T hear from ANYONE and really should. I bought this for my 18-yr-old niece. My dad bought it for me when I was just out of college and it not only changed my life, but I wished I had read it at 17 instead of 22!
It says alot of things no one wants to hear, but trust me, she's on the money. 100%.
Read it, understand it, and don't screw up your life. I read somewhere once that who you choose to marry establishes your level of happiness for the rest of your life. THAT is so true. You're worth it. Don't settle. Choose wisely. Responsibly. AND for the RIGHT reasons.
Go Dr. Laura. The women of the world need more people like you. | | | | Very Sensible Advice For Women Jan 21, 2007 |
This is one of the several "stupid things" books that Dr Laura Schlessinger has written, and it's a very good one. It is filled with anecdotes, calls from her show, and wise advice from her years of practice with patients and callers. Tips such as don't lose yourself for a bad man, don't define yourself by a man, define yourself first and find a man that suits you, and the like are great tips that seem obvious enough, but sometimes we women need to be reminded of. Especially in the midst of a tumultuous relationship, when we are close to a man and no longer can see him or the relationship objectively.
Whether you are in a relationship or not, it's a good book to read. It reminds one of what traps to avoid, when a relationship has gone badly, and when a woman is treating herself or allowing someone else to treat her badly. Good women deserve good men, and this book helps you recognize when a bad one might be leading you the wrong way...down a path that is *not* in your best interest, just his. | | | Write your own review about Ten Stupid Things Women Do to Mess Up Their Lives
