Mistaking fun for happiness, we have set ourselves up for 'short-term thrills and long-term agony.' 'How could you do that?!' she asks. In this wise and witty book, she topples the lame excuses we try to make when we do the wrong thing. Americans know what the right thing to do is, she asserts. We just try to take the easy way out. In seven chapters, she challenges us to find our Character, Conscience, Courage, Self-respect, Morals, Integrity and Principles by discussing such issues as love versus lust, irresponsible parenting and the mindless pursuit of happiness at the expense of others. Her message is simple: If we discipline ourselves and accept responsibility for our actions, we will ultimately enjoy a life of richer quality and greater satisfaction. Written in her unmistakably lively and outspoken style, How Could You Do That?! is a refreshing, and sometimes tough argument for the need for values and character. 'Get a grip,' says Dr. Laura, 'it's time to grow up.' Amazon.com Review: Laura Schlessinger takes the quotation marks off the phrase 'bad behavior,' and makes an impassioned argument against the self-indulgent subjective morality rampant in our society. Following her previous New York Times bestseller, 10 Stupid Things Women Do to Mess Up Their Lives, Dr. Laura Schlessinger -- the internationally syndicated radio superhost who reaches 15 million listeners per week -- argues effectively that doing good leads to feeling great. Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Plays better on radio. A 2007 Summer mini review I have been listening to Dr. Laura on and off for several years. I do not always agree with her stances or advice but more often than not I have. I listen to her on on and off, because I can not always stomach her crassness and bluntness. I decided to read her book and see if this would be a happier medium for us. What I found is that the majority of the book is based on transcripts of calls and correspondence from her radio program. While ... Read More Rating: - Changed My Life This book has changed my life. It made me relize how my choices affect my life and the lives of others. I recommend this book to anyone who is unclear on what life path to take. I have a very large collection of books in my home, I rank this book as one of the best in my collection. It has helped my world become a better place. If you are looking for a better tomorrow, read this book. Rating: - Classic Dr. Laura She's witty, entertaining, and so full of good advice. And this book is right there. Even though it's almost a decade old, it sounds like the same old Dr. Laura. Don't shack up. Have some character. Do the right thing. I guess these are the types of things that should never go out of vogue. I was entertained, though you can get the gist of what she says here from her radio show. But then you get to skip the commercials here. I think if more people would only listen to the good doctor, perhaps they ... Read More Rating: - You are what you do-first do good then feel good There is really no such thing as unconditional self-acceptance. Those who say so are promulgating a pernicious falsehood. One must first live a decent, honorable and productive life. Only then do you get to feel good about yourself. Seeking to heedlessly gratify your desires or impulses of the moment to do things (or fail to do things) your conscience knows to be contrary to your standards of right, worthy and virtuous behavior is, in a mental, emotional and spiritual sense, akin to spending capital ... Read More Rating: - Hypocrite One minute she's posing nude and later, later becomes Orthodox yet is severly impolite to so many on her radio program. Why can't she admit how dysfunctional she was and still is no doubt. Yet the content of her book is in the best tradition of good. Too bad she wrote it. see more Browse for similar items by category: Qualifying Textbooks - Custom Stores - Specialty Stores - Books - General AAS Self-Help - Health, Mind & Body - Subjects - Books - Motivational Self-Help - Health, Mind & Body - Subjects - Books - Self-Esteem Self-Help - Health, Mind & Body - Subjects - Books - General Self-Help - Health, Mind & Body - Subjects - Books - General AAS
