Ten Stupid Things Women Do to Mess Up Their Lives by Laura C. Schlessinger

Excellent Advice for Women and Young Girls!, January 2, 2001

If you don't like to look at yourself honestly in the mirror, you won't like this book! Dr. Laura's book is a must read for women young, mature, single or married! It provides guidance on how to:

1) choose a partner wisely,
2) walk away from dead-end relationships and
3) build a happier life with yourself and a deserving partner.

 It is unfortunate that many women believe that having a man, any kind of man, at any cost, is life's ultimate prize! Today, far too many women give away their power to men and settle for fantasy, disrespect and helplessness.

I, too, have chosen unwisely and spent portions of my precious life with men who didn't deserve me. After reading this book, I can now put an end to my vicious cycle. The message was powerful. However, the writing, at times, was challenging to read. I am glad I stuck with it! The value of the message far outweighs the challenge.

A key message that still ripples in my mind is that enhanced self-esteem is earned through courage, risk taking and overcoming challenges. Thank you Dr. Laura!

Everything she says is true., January 5, 2001     Reviewer: Dana from Houston, TX United States I find that people who don't like this book are those in whom it hits a too close to home. This is not a man-slamming book, it's a women EMPOWERING book, helping all people, not just women, realize that they themselves have the power -- and the right and obligation -- to live up to a standard of decency, and to include in their lives others worthy of esteem and respect. The ideas are clear, the examples are entertaining, and the style is brisk... it's a quick and easy read for all its big ideas and worthwhile suggestion.
