A staunch proponent of taking charge of your life, the top-rated nationally syndicated talk show host uses real-life stories to demonstrate and identify the self-destructive behaviors that turn women into victims. Driving the message home that it is women's reticence to be affirmative that often makes them act in ways that weaken rather than empower them, Dr. Laura offers strategies for turning women's attitude and actions into ones that will foster personal growth. An eye-opening look at relationships, behaviors, and decision-making.

July 06, 2009: Decisions, decisions... Life is about making decisions, some to celebrate later and some to regret. The writer goes direct to the point and sounds like a true friend who tells you something you do not want to hear but you need to. Thank you Dr. Laura, I needed a good and stern advise on making the right choices in life. I have been making lousy, sorry decisions. Thank you again. I recomend it to hard headed people that won't listen to anybody that know exactly what they're doing... yes messing up their lives.

May 02, 2009: I purchased the book to send to my husband's 31-year old daughter, in an attempt to help her stop some "unhealthy" dating/life-altering habits that she seems to be repeating with men and consequently creating the same type of career/life issues for herself. I felt that I should read it first to make sure it was appropriate, and it has turned out to be quite "kick-you-in-the-behind" truthful. As a happily married senior lady from the '60s-Flower-Child era, I can personally atest to the truth about many of the situations that Dr. Laura covers in this book. They are the same today as they were in the '60s, '70s, '80s, '90, etc., (I was dating in each decade). The BEST thing (or worst, depending on your outlook) about this book is the fact that not much changes in the human search for "love". You can take advice from someone who just had an experience, as well as you can from your grandma. The only things that have seriously changed are the STD's and the social attitudes about some issues. I would recommend that you give this book to any female that is on a self-destructive relationship path if you want to be a good friend/relative.
