This has become a society of complainers, as people spend far too much time griping about problems and not enough time actually tackling them. Now Dr. Laura Schlessinger steps in to help folks conquer this widespread, "poor me" mindset and take action to do and be their best in STOP WHINING, START LIVING, her most personal book to date.
Building on the principles developed during her long career as a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Dr. Laura issues an important message: If you don’t like your life, quit talking about your unhappiness and try to fix it, no matter how difficult or impossible your situation seems.
Although it’s healthy to vent occasionally, endless grumbling only keeps you paralyzed in misery, reinforces hopelessness and demoralizes those around you. In STOP WHINING, START LIVING, Dr. Laura’s powerful lessons include:
Why giving, giving, and giving some more to others is a gift to yourself too
Why over-talking about your troubles is a big don’t and when to just shut up!
How to reshape your self-image and reboot your relationships to get the life you want
Everyone can use a kick in the pants sometimes, and Dr. Laura is here to deliver it!
The irrepressible Dr. Laura takes aim at people who are stuck in bad patterns because they talk instead of act, give up easily, lack perspective, or wait for others to change. Concise vignettes and questions from her radio callers are catalysts for cogent insights and hard-hitting advice. The advice is presented smorgasbord style, so listeners can sample it anywhere in the program and be enlightened. This is a soothing audio as well because Dr. Laura's principles are so universal and because they're delivered by a narrator who is completely dialed in to the author's humanitarian tone. With her appealing vocal clarity, Lily LoBianco sounds perfectly at home with herself in this lovely recording. She wisely doesn't try to channel Dr. Laura's impatience and know-it-all radio personality. T.W. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
