    • Many people claim to live by the Ten Commandments, yet few can accurately recall them or understand their significance. In today's fast-paced world, we often make decisions that seem trivial, questioning the importance of promises, fidelity, and family time. Dr. Laura Schlessinger, a prominent voice in talk radio, emphasizes that our everyday choices shape the meaning of our lives. The Ten Commandments serve as a moral framework, guiding us toward a life of purpose, integrity, and joy. These commandments represent the first direct communication from God to humanity, intended to elevate our existence beyond mere survival to a more meaningful life. Each commandment addresses key moral principles relevant to contemporary issues involving God, family, work, and personal conduct. Collaborating with Rabbi Steward Vogel, this work applies these ancient laws to modern life, offering insightful discussions on Biblical teachings and Judeo-Christian values. The Ten Commandments challenge readers to reconsider mundane moments and recognize their deeper significance. From acknowledging God as the source of morality to understanding the importance of family, respect, and honesty, the commandments provide timeless guidance. Ultimately, they encourage us to pursue a life of decency, justice, and meaningful connections, reminding us that our choices have profound implications for ourselves and others.

    • In this important work, Dr. Laura Schlessinger demonstrates that individuals can achieve a Good Life despite a Bad Childhood. She explores the connection between early family dynamics and current attitudes, revealing how past experiences shape adult choices and emotional reactions. Many people she has helped were unaware of how their histories influenced their unhappiness, often repeating negative patterns in a futile attempt to heal old wounds. This cycle can lead to using emotional pain to control others or justify destructive behaviors. While some seek therapy, they may find themselves stuck in a victim mentality, losing optimism and growth. Dr. Laura emphasizes that regardless of one’s background, individuals hold the responsibility for their reactions, and accepting this truth is key to gaining the power to create the Good Life they desire. Through her straightforward style and real-life examples, she encourages readers to reject the identity of a victim or survivor and strive to be a victor. Dr. Laura guides readers to confront the truths of their past, understand their coping mechanisms, and embrace a life filled with peace and happiness. Drawing from her own challenging childhood, she shares her journey toward resilience and fulfillment, inspiring others to do the same.

      The reason so many Americans feel lost and unhappy, explains Dr. Schlessinger, is that we have abandoned the high road and indulged in the feel-good pop psychology of the last decade. Mistaking fun for happiness, we have set ourselves up for "short-term thrills and long-term agony." "How could you do that?!" she asks. In this wise and witty book, she topples the lame excuses we try to make when we do the wrong thing. Americans know what the right thing to do is, she asserts. We just try to take the easy way out. In seven chapters, she challenges us to find our Character, Conscience, Courage, Self-respect, Morals, Integrity and Principles by discussing such issues as love versus lust, irresponsible parenting and the mindless pursuit of happiness at the expense of others. Her message is simple: If we discipline ourselves and accept responsibility for our actions, we will ultimately enjoy a life of richer quality and greater satisfaction. Written in her unmistakably lively and outspoken style, "How Could You Do That?!" is a refreshing, and sometimes tough argument for the need for values and character. "Get a grip," says Dr. Laura, "it's time to grow up."
