Book Reviews of Ten Stupid Things Men Do to Mess Up Their Lives
Book Review: You can learn the one question you should ask before you marry her....
Summary: 5 Stars
Whether you love her or hate her, you have to admit that Dr. Laura is provocative.
I read this book 15 years or so ago as a young man in my 20's. Although I have forgotten most of it there is one question that she poses that I never forgot and will teach my son someday.
The question is...., "Ask yourself when choosing a partner, is this the person I want teaching my children values." Hmmm....
Well it saved me from marrying a fiance who cheated on me while we were engaged, and wasn't going to tell me until after the marriage.
For that if nothing else this book is well worth it.
Cheers!
Summary of Ten Stupid Things Men Do to Mess Up Their Lives
Shows men how to think through their decisions, restrain their macho impulses, and marry for the right reasons.Everything will be okay ... once you admit that Dr. Laura's always right. This companion volume to the radio advice factory's 1994 bestseller (which tackled the stupid things women do) serves up plenty of the no-nonsense, old-fashioned morality that her legions of listeners love. Brutally reductive--but not necessarily wrong--this book chalks up men's problems to trying to save "damsels in distress," refusing to admit to a healthy dependence on others, climbing the career ladder to the detriment of your relationships, denying the duty and pleasure of child-rearing, and many others. Whatever your personal reaction to her brassy, unapologetic style, Dr. Schlessinger is a refreshing antidote to the wishy-washy "everything's relative and everyone's different" trend that held sway for a time. Ten Stupid Things Men Do to Mess up Their Lives contains a lot of good advice--even though it has as much in common with instant soup mix as with therapy.
