Ten Stupid Things Women Do To Mess Up Their Lives
People who dislike this book because of Dr. Schlessinger's style need to put aside their reservations and focus on the truth of this book's content. She goes behind the gloss and tells straight out what makes women "martyr themselves on the altar of marriage". I am 17 years old. This is around the age, (younger actually), that many girls start putting complete and total emphasis on finding a man and getting married. I know many of these girls. They have no ambitions for themselves. They are afraid of the future and instead of confronting their fears they hide behind a man. It's not fair to the man and it's not fair to them. I am purchasing several of these books for the people I know who are a mirror reflection of the examples in this book. If you are not one of the people who does these particular stupid things, then more power to you. I still reccommend you read it because I'm sure you know someone who does.

Maybe Because I'm A Guy
Dr. Laura is great, fantastic and well.... fantastic. I listen to her radio show as often as possible, but when I get to read one of her books, it is shear pleasure. This is the first of her "Ten Stupid Things..." books and I really enjoyed it, although not as much as "Ten Stupid Things Men Do..." Maybe it's because I'm a guy, and couldn't stop saying "wow, how true!" every five seconds. When I bought the book, my intention was to try and get some insight into how women think and where they are coming from. But I left the book gaining something better than insight into the mind of a woman. I gained the understanding that women, just like us men, have messed up, have hang-ups, and have insecurities. And we as men have to do our best to help support and empower the women in our lives to rise above (overcome) their pasts so that they can fulfill the destiny God has for them. As long as we drag our feet in the past, we can never run towards our future, and we can't continue to hang failures over our wive's/mother's/sister's/daugther's heads. Knowledge isn't worth anything until it becomes understanding... until it has substance in your life. Buy both books and do yourself a favor.

For Those Who Want to Reflect on Themselves
Dr. Laura gives it to you straight in this no nonsense book. While most people wouldn't have the guts to be this brutally honest and constructively critical, Dr. Laura goes where no one else dares to go. So many other self help books are too concerned about being politically correct and candy coating topics, that in the end you feel like you don't gain anything. But whether you like her or not, everything she says is actually true. This book will remind you of times in your life (and it's happened to all of us) when a family member or friend tells us something we don't want to hear but deep down inside we actually know is true. Dr. Laura is also a very logical person, so much of her opinions and advice is not hard to follow. I recommend this book to anybody in search of learning more about themselves and how they can improve themselves. Similar Products
