About this listen

Following the tremendous success of her New York Times best sellers, Ten Stupid Things Women Do to Mess Up Their Lives and How Could You Do That?!, Dr. Laura Schlessinger, the conscience of talk radio, now addresses the stupid things men do that diminish their lives and happiness.

With real-world examples from her radio show and strikingly honest letters from her male listeners, her book reveals that many men demonstrate a level of sensitivity and insight that will surprise most women. Dr. Laura provides commonsense guidelines to show men how to appreciate their own nature and needs.

Humorous and wise, she urges men to:

  • Stop trying to save or transform needy women
  • Recognize and enjoy the need for intimacy
  • Avoid blind ambition, which focuses on externals
  • Realize their need for control
  • Stop measuring their masculinity with sex
  • Marry for all the right reasons
  • Resolve emotional issues with their mothers
  • Take pleasure in raising their children
  • Understand the difference between being male and a man
  • Be a loving mate

Men and the women who love them will be enriched by the compassion and wisdom of Dr. Laura's spirited perspective. Her growing audience will never look at their relationships, behaviors, and decisions the same way after listening to Ten Stupid Things Men Do to Mess Up Their Lives. There is a reason Dr. Laura has become a cultural icon - her message is challenging, it's truth undeniable.

Editorial reviews

With a candid, no nonsense conversation, Dr. Laura Schlessinger sets out to help men and women better understand the nature and needs of a man. Dr. Schlessinger looks at a variety of issues such as societal pressures, biological urges, and man’s hesitancy to engage his feelings. Using excerpts from her well-received radio program and frank letters from male listeners, Dr. Schlessinger has put together an important recording for those men looking to learn more about themselves and for women wanting help understanding why their partner does the things that he does. 10 Stupid Things Men Do to Mess Up Their Lives is a thought-provoking look at why men are the way they are.

A lot of it was sort of obvious but good to hear anyway it was mostly about adult men not someone younger a way to fix your mistakes and a little on how to not make them

Loved it!

I love how I don't have to sort through any bullcrap. She gets right to the point and helpee me learn much about myself and what would truly lead to a fulfilling life. I never really learned how to be a man from my father, because he seems to be trapped in the pleasing game in between his kids, wife and mother. So I reasearched for myself. This book was a great asset to my knowledge and wisdom I now have. Hopefully, I can use it well. Thank for teaching me how to be a mwn Doctor Laura.

Fantastic!

I am sending a copy to my adult son. We have 2 boys (21/16) I have already told them that once they marry that while I hope our relationships stay close; their priority and 1st thought should always be of their wife and children. I also gave them the “ok” to keep me in check if ever I am riding the line of an overbearing mother. It is my worst nightmare to become a burden to our boys. They are not ours to “keep.”

Outside of that crucial point this book is full of good wisdom on what good men are made of. Good women crave these type of men that understand provision is not only monetary. Great book Dr. L!!

Excellent Book

I didn't agree with every statement about the definition of a real man and his actions. However, I do agree with about 85% of what was in this book. I also feel that it should be considered as a great reference book for ALL men; no matter the color, creed, or religious preference. This has been a truly transformative book for me personally! I look forward to delving into your other books!!!

Never to late

Anyone married or thinking about marriage needs to read this.
Why learn something when it’s to late, read and apply, it’s that easy. Then go teach others.
