How Could You Do That?! illustrates Dr. Laura Schlessinger's philosophy of personal responsibility through her usually provocative but always stimulating moral dialogues with callers about everyday ethical dilemmas. In her lively pull-no-punches style, Dr. Laura takes on the moral dilemmas of our time: from the mindless pursuit 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 reponsibility but your 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 the infinite pleasures, the true happiness, of the moral high ground. Dr. Laura delivers not only a compelling argument for an ethical approach to life but also an invaluable inspiration to rebuilding character, conscience, and courage. Here is a work that can make a genuine difference in the quality of your own life and the lives of those we love.… (altro)

Meh. It got slightly better but not one of her best.
  CMBlaker | May 6, 2014 |
It's encouraging to see a shift in the perspective of pop psychology away from the anything-goes remnant of the 60's and toward personal integrity and right action. The focus of her "therapy" is on the "abdication of character, courage, and conscience." In all matters regarding children, Laura makes people focus on what would be best for a child or what example they want to role-model for their children. People should stay together for the children. Adulterers are losers. One should not do that which they would not want their children to do. ( )

Whatever happened to the principles of personal responsibility, of being accountable for our mistakes? Whatever happened to having a "guilty conscience" and mustering the courage to change things for the better? The bestselling author and internationally syndicated radio talk show host shows us how honoring our personal values and "doing good" leads to self-satisfaction and peace of mind. In this wakeup call, "Dr. Laura" provides a spirited approach to real situations and presents a compelling argument for disciplining self-indulgence and achieving higher moral ground in the pursuit of happiness.
