Publisher: HarperAudio, 2006

In her most important book yet, Dr. Laura Schlessinger shows men and women that they can have a Good Life no matter how Bad their Childhood was.

For each of us, there is a connection between our early family dynamics and experiences and our current attitudes and decisions. Many of the people Dr. Laura has helped did not realize how their histories impacted their adult lives, or how their choices in people, repetitive situations, and decisions -- even their emotional reactions -- were connected to those early negative experiences, playing a major role in their current unhappiness.

Dr. Laura will help you realize that no matter what circumstances you came from or currently live in, you are ultimately responsible for how you react to them. The acceptance of this basic truth is the source of your power to secure the Good Life you long for. In her signature straightforward style, with real-life examples, Dr. Laura shows you what you will gain by not being satisfied with an identity as a victim, or even as a survivor -- you should strive to be a victor!

In Bad Childhood -- Good Life, Dr. Laura will guide you to accept the truth of the assaults on your psyche and soul, understand your unique coping style and how it impacts your daily thoughts and actions, and help you embrace a life of more peace and happiness.

From AudioFile:

An outspoken pop psychologist explains how difficult childhoods stay with us in the form of habitual unhappiness, self-defeating lifestyles, and crazy-making relationships we can't break away from. Schlessinger is a smooth and entertaining spokesperson for her excellent ideas, even when she's navigating through complex sentences. The abridgment and narrative flow of this program are so skillful that every piece of wisdom and all her recommendations unfold with exceptional smoothness and ring true. The clarity and common sense of these ideas, as well as the steady confidence in the author's voice, make this among the best mental health audios available today.
