Summary: Thought provoking and very well written: a page turner!
Review: This is the first Dr. Laura book that I have read. It is amazing. As a college-aged guy, this book could not have come at a better time. Her book opened my eyes to why I, and other guys, act the way that they do.Also, I would disagree that this book has a negative tone toward guys, and views males in helpless or pathetic. The pages in the book have the best advice that I could have received. If you are considering buying this book, do it! Your life might change for the better.

Summary: Stupid Heros Wake Up!
Review: Until I read the first Chapter of this book, I was unconscious to the fact that I was attempting to "save" a woman who was perfectly comfortable with lying and philandering. Dr. Laura made me face the fact that "stupid heroism" is a waste of time, and that I needed to escape and find a healthier relationship.

Summary: This book should be placed in every male's crib at birth.
Review: What a wonderful book that gives insight and awareness to our upbringing, relationships with parents and women. I thought I was the only one that rescued "slime babes" or did not understand the "Barbie dolls" that I dated. I may have fallen off the turnip truck in encountering women, however, this book gave me permission to get back on the truck!

Summary: Wish it was there for me years ago.
Review: When the marriage counselor mentioned the "damsel in distress" behavior, I went back to the book I had skimmed over some months before. Sure enough, there I was in Chapter 1, page 21. Married to a woman who overspent/borrowed and lied about it until confronted with evidence in black and white. After she had drained the joint checking account and stolen money from the children's savings accounts she demanded I spend money on household fixups. I wouldn't trade our child for anything but I wish I had been able to steer her to some kind of therapy for her addictive behavior years ago. As it is, her current therapist does nothing to cure her but just endorses overpriced meditation trips to ease her guilt. I thank Dr. Laura for helping me learn what to watch out for in the future. We need more like her that work with a solution in mind and not like meditation counselors who keep sucking the money out of patients who want to salve their guilt without changing their actions.

Summary: This should be required reading for every teenager.
Review: Yes we all have baggage from when we were kids and teenagers. If this book had been around 35 years ago my life might have been different. I would have had a great reference to avoid the mistakes I have made in my life. If you have a teenage son who is about to enter the dating world, buy him a copy. Make him read it; no, you sit down and read it with him. I am seperated from my fourth wife (I want to work through her problems, my problems, and our problems.) Dr. Laura's book has been a great help for me to understand where my stupid behaviour is coming from and how to change it. God bless her and good luck to you on your journey.

Summary: This book offended me just like I needed
Review: Yes, Dr. Laura is offensive. However, she also has a strong understanding of God's will, and the numerous challenges in our life that take us away from God. This hard hitting advice is just what I needed in my life, and has had a profound affect on me. For example, when she tells you under "stupid ambition" that you should have a job that helps you be a good father and husband, instead of expecting your family to only sustain you in your job, she is hitting the nail on the head. Also, her candid and insightful stories on why we men will be happier in a long term, monogamous marriage are very inspiring. Most of God's servants have offended society, Dr. Laura is no exception.
