"There is extraordinary quality of spirit that leads one to aspire to
conquering rather than surviving. I hope you discover that spirit in
yourself." -- Dr. Laura
The #1 national bestselling author and popular syndicated radio host
shows men and women that they can have a good life no matter how much
they struggled in their childhood. Bad Childhood--Good Life aims to
help you accept the truth of the assault on your psyche, understand your
unique coping style and how it impacts your daily thoughts and actions,
and guide you into a life of more peace and happiness.
For each one of us, there is a connection between our early family
experiences and our current behavior. Many of the people Dr. Laura has
helped did not realize how their histories impacted their adult lives,
or how their choices--even their emotional reactions--were connected to
their early years, playing a major role in their current unhappiness. In
this hopeful, practical guide, written in her signature straightforward
style and filled with real-life examples, Dr. Laura helps readers
realize that no matter what circumstances they come from or currently
live in, they are each ultimately responsible for their own actions and
reactions as adults. Throughout, she shows the gains to be had by not
being satisfied with an identity as a victim, or even as a survivor.
Instead she helps readers from all walks of life strive to be the best
they can each be--a victor!
