A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In her hard-hitting new book, How Could You Do That?!, Dr. Laura Schlessinger, author of Ten Stupid Things Woman Do to Mess Up Their Lives, delivers a witty, wise, and workable moral philosophy -- based on the principle of personal responsiblity.

With a lively, pull-no-punches style, Dr. Laura takes on the moral dilemmas of our time, from the mindless pursuits of pleasure and immediate gratification to taking the easy way out when those actions produce ugly or uncomfortable life-altering consequences. She demonstrates in no uncertain terms that personal values are never someone else's responsibility, but our own, and why choosing not to honor them actually compounds unhappiness. Finally, she explains that by disciplining self-indulgence and rising above temptation we can discover that infinite pleasure, the true happiness, of the moral high ground.

Prominently featuring Dr. Laura's spirited and profound moral debates with callers on her top-rated internationally syndicated radio program, How Could You Do That?! is not only a compelling argument for an ethical approach to life but an invaluable inspiration to rebuilding conscience, character, and courage, providing that good leads to feeling great. Here is an audio that can make genuine different in the quality of our own lives and the lives of those we love.
