Ten Stupid Things Men Do To Mess Up Their Lives

Plot

Men's stupidity is different from women's, explains Dr. Laura Schlessinger in her latest book. While women tend to obsess and overanalyze every issue in their lives, especially relationships, men take a different tack. They're clueless. Instead of thinking about their actions and the subsequent consequences, they walk around reacting mindlessly to the world at large. Fortunately for them, Dr. Laura is just the right person to shake them out of their stupor, and in "10 Stupid Things Men Do to Mess Up Their Lives" she does just that. In 10 bracing, no-holds-barred chapters, she grabs men by their ties and speaks her mind on: Stupid Machismo -- not recognizing the difference between being a male and being a man Stupid Heroism -- saving "damsels in distress" and getting stuck with a loser or a "little girl" who will leave when she grows up Stupid Parenting -- thinking that children are "women's work" Stupid Matrimony -- getting married? Why? I dunno. And six other stupid types of behavior. Sometimes scathing, sometimes humorous but always wise, she provides commonsense guidelines to show men how to stop their self-diminishing actions, driving the message home with real-world examples taken from her radio show and private practice. If her opinions seem harsh or stringent, too bad. Dr. Laura isn't here to coddle anyone; she shoots from the hip. Men and the women who love them will be enriched by the honesty and wisdom of her spirited advice.
