About this listen

In this unique, profoundly inspirational memoir, Divorce Court star Judge Lynn Toler shares her mother's wisdom for learning to conquer anger and become immune to insult. Toler credits her mother's "rules" for life - a life that saw her grow up the daughter of a poor teen mother and endure a husband who suffered mental illness and alcoholism - with providing the grounding for her own success and happiness. Toler shows how the mindset of "a black woman who knew how to make things work" taught her the power of knowing how to manage one's emotional business - lessons that this book offers in wrenching stories written in spare and graceful prose. My Mother's Rules is an unforgettable book that will captivate listeners with its illustrations of how to rise above the most difficult circumstances and find peace and success in life.

My Mother's rules

Very good, thought provoking, with depth and some insight into the making of Judge Lynn the persona I grew to admire in her relationship programs, eg., Divorce court.

Helpful and practical

I enjoyed this book. It gave practical directions for how to identify and manage my emotions when and before they happen. This is a title that I will come back to as I found it to be extremely helpful and I have recommended to my mother and friends.

Ofcourse I Concur

I picked up this book after listening to a recent interview with The Honorable Judge. It has been suggested that I write down the principal and words to live by that I share. Now I know I can simply refer them to this book. If they apply it, many can be find in these pages a blueprint to things that will lead to sanity.

Loved it...just one little thing

I loved the story Judge Lynn shares in her book. After hearing so many audiobooks, I wish the production could have been less rushed. Sometimes you needed to take a breath after her wisdom before jumping right into the next thing. Again not a critique on Judge Lynn at all. I'm going to listen again and write the rules out (or just buy a copy of the book).
