Synopsis

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 uncomfortable life-altering consequences. She demonstrates in no uncertain terms that personal values are never someone else's responsibility but your own, and why choosing not to honor them compounds unhappiness. 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.

While I don't agree with many of Schlessinger's views, particularly her views on any sexuality other than hetero, her misogyny, closed-mindedness, and her personal hypocrisy, I do appreciate her belief in behaving with honor and the importance of choosing character, courage, and conscience over imme......more

Goodreads review by Anne on June 20, 2024

Is this book only thirty years old? It shows how much our culture has changed across the turn of the century. No doubt, the presentation was confrontational back at the end of the 20th century but it's seems unimaginable that anyone could get away with such blunt, assertive behaviour today. The age......more

This is a book by Dr. Laura. and I didn't know if I would like it or not because I think Dr. Laura is kind of a loud mouth. But I ended up agreeing with almost everything she had to say.

Goodreads review by No on November 16, 2024

The book contains many short stories that kinda loose my focus. I stopped after reading half of the book. Her sarcastic way of questioning her patients is hilarious but most of the time, it just feels…not right to me “The quality of our lives is not created solely by the events in our lives. It is in......more

Some of her ideas about same sex relations......more
