She has strong convictions and doesn't hesitate to voice them to callers. She urges women emphatically to lose a domineering jerk of a lover and pick one of the "good guys," to stay home and parent the babies they've made, and to follow the dream rather than some dreamboat. Above all, she exhorts women not to blame anybody or anything but themselves if they're unhappy and their lives seem a mess. <P> <I>10 Stupid Things Women Do to Mess Up Their Lives</I> uses real-world examples from Schlessinger's radio show and private practice to drive the message home. And the message is that our reticence to be bold and brave often makes us act like stupid, submissive victims. Once we muster the courage to take responsibility for our own problems and to tolerate the discomforts of risk, the possibilities for personal growth and joy are limitless. <P> If you're looking for an all-approving hand to hold, you won't find it here. If you're prepared to take a clear-eyed look at your self-diminishing behavior and to make the move to a quality existence, there's no one better than Schlessinger to keep you honest and to cheer you on. One thing's for sure: You'll never look at your relationships, behaviors and decisions the same way after you've finished reading this book. 1700163 15 2 1994 Ten Stupid Things Women Do to Mess Up Their Lives total:426|5:87|4:121|3:126|2:52|1:40| 426 1441 586 71 1 4 false false Thu Aug 30 20:04:45 -0700 2007 Thu Aug 30 20:09:38 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 3 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Mon Jul 21 13:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Jul 21 13:02:40 -0700 2008 more...]]> 1 6 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1995 Sun Aug 19 11:03:48 -0700 2007 Sun Aug 19 11:05:46 -0700 2007 more...]]> 1 5 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1996 Tue Jul 17 14:12:05 -0700 2007 Tue Jul 17 14:17:06 -0700 2007 1 4 false false Thu Mar 22 18:20:53 -0700 2007 Mon Apr 09 06:06:16 -0700 2007 1 4 false false Tue Jul 17 13:50:58 -0700 2007 Tue Jul 17 13:51:07 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Jun 19 17:12:40 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 19 17:16:45 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 1 false false Sat Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 1995 Sun Sep 21 11:54:17 -0700 2008 Sun Sep 21 11:56:38 -0700 2008 4 0 true false Sun Aug 23 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 13 08:59:21 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 26 10:46:51 -0700 2009 1 "you need to take on challenges you can respect yourself for" pg. 168
