For every woman who wants to know what her man is thinking. Internationally syndicated radio superhost and columnist, controversial psycho-therapist, and author of the break-out New York Times bestsellers How Could You Do That?! and Ten Stupid Things Women Do to Mess Up Their Lives, Dr. Laura Schlessinger is back with Ten Stupid Things Men Do to Mess Up Their Lives. In ten vital, compelling chapters, Dr. Laura speaks her mind on: Stupid Chivalry By getting involved with the wrong woman (weak, flaky, damaged, needy, desperate, stupid, untrustworthy, immature, etc.) you think that your love will save/transform her. Stupid Independence Unwilling to admit "need" for bonding and intimacy, you hide in excesses of work, play, drink, drugs, porn, and meaningless sex. Stupid Ambition Unable to comfortably and proudly accept your inherent importance to society and family as husband and father, you bow to the false idols of money, toys, power, and status. Stupid Strength Uncomfortable with feeling weak, vulnerable, useless, powerless, or rejected, you use intimidation, force, or passive-aggressiveness to regain control.Stupid Sex Taking an attraction, opportunity, or erection as a "sign," you measure your masculinity and power by sexual conquests, infidelities, and orgasms.Stupid Matrimony Lacking a mature sense of the purpose, meaning, or value of marriage, you realize too late you've gone down the aisle with the wrong woman for the wrong reasons and feel helpless to "fix it." Stupid HusbandingThinking that marriage is the honorable discharge from loving courtship, you continue to live as though you were single and your "mommy-wife" will take care of everything else. Stupid ParentingBelieving that only women/mothers nurture children, you withdraw from hands-on parenting to assert your masculine importance, missing out on the true "soul food" of a child's hug. Stupid BoyishnessHaving not yet worked out a comfortable emotional and social understanding with your mother, you form relationships with women that become geared to avenge, resolve, or protect you from your ties to Mommy. Stupid Machismo Understanding the true and meaningful difference between being male and a man, you can become a man.

En la obra más desafiante que haya escrito hasta el momento, la Dra. Laura recuerda con urgencia a las mujeres que deben cuidar y tener contentos a sus esposos para garantizar su propia felicidad y la satisfacción que anhelan en su matrimonio. Las mujeres desean enamorarse, casarse y vivir felices por siempre. Sin embargo, la falta de respeto por los hombres, el desprecio por los valores, sentimientos y necesidades de los esposos se ha convertido, en muy poco tiempo, en la norma de las relaciones entre hombres y mujeres en los Estados Unidos. Estas dos actitudes se contraponen en formas poco afortunadas para crear desacuerdos y luchas en lo que podría ser una hermosa relación. Son incontables las mujeres que llaman a la Dra. Laura, insatisfechas con sus matrimonios y aparentemente incapaces de entender el increíble poder que tienen sobre sus hombres para crear el tipo de hogar que añoran. Ahora, en Cómo Cuidar y Tener Contento al Esposo, la Dra. Laura nos muestra -- mediante ejemplos y soluciones de la vida real -- cómo se puede ejercer ese poder para lograr el placer sexual, la intimidad, el amor, la felicidad y la paz que buscamos en la vida. Los sencillos principios de la Dra. Laura han cambiado las vidas de millones de mujeres y ahora pueden cambiar la suya.
