Product Description
From Amazon
Much of the book has been created from letters written by listeners of her show. These personal anecdotes are used to illustrate points and provide examples we can all relate to; given their tremendous variety, you're sure to find some that click with you. They make the book an easily absorbed read and provide a welcome break from Schlessinger's angry tirades on premarital sex, addiction, and the general "stupidity" of the human race. Behind her anger, you'll find suggestions on taking time to really listen to each other, ways to respect each other's needs without catering to selfishness, and a firm belief that relationships are nearly always worth saving. --Jill Lightner --This text refers to the Unknown Binding edition.

This review is from: Ten Stupid Things Couples Do To Mess Up Their Relationships (Paperback)
Reading the missives from the extreme naysayers, it is obvious that many believe Dr. Laura to be a hypocrite because she made some poor choices early in life. Therefore, she has no business dispensing advice on these matters. Following such misguided rationale, few of us have any business offering advice to anyone, including our children because we're also hypocrites. We all have pasts, the highlights of which we are not necessarity proud.Very often the folks who have made the most egregious errors in their lives are the very best and most credible with words of counsel because of their experiences, the toughest way to learn. Dr. Laura's boot-in-the-rear style isn't for everyone; no one's is. We're all different and have varying needs. However, she is a breath of fresh air to those who have been mollycoddled too much. Things are much blacker and whiter than many believe and bless Dr. Laura for explaining them.

Straightforward And On Target Advice For Couples,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ten Stupid Things Couples Do To Mess Up Their Relationships (Paperback)
The book presents a compelling and eye-opening viewpoint and provides a good basis for couples who want to build better skills at relating by re-examining their behaviors. While reading, I did recognize behaviors in myself that I have also engaged in but was previously not aware of. It is clear that Dr. Laura has strong beliefs and is passionately committed to her ideas and to her viewpoints. The information is presented in a straightforward manner and is often on target. Though Dr. Laura's style of communication is strong, the message and content is ultimately geared to help readers recognize their behaviors and to prevent broken relationships. I have also read another book on relationships that I found to be extremely enjoyable and helpful as well. The book is "Working On Your Relationships Doesn't Work" by Ariel and Shya Kane. This book explores a new technique geared toward mending relationships and building ones that are nurturing and fulfilling. This book uses examples from many of the Kanes' clients and associates, from their workshops and seminars, as well as from their own personal life journey. By bringing awareness to our ingrained patterns of behavior, they guide readers to discover satisfaction and increased productivity in their lives and relationships, without having to "work" on their
