Description
Living life is about action: courageous, benevolent, worthy, Wise, and productive action.
Dr. Laura Schlessinger steps in to help folks conquer the widespread, “poor me” mindset and take action to do and be their best in Stop Whining, Start Living, her most personal book to date.
Building on the principles developed during her long career as a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Dr. Laura issues an important message: If you don’t like your life, quit talking about your unhappiness and try to fix it.
In Stop Whining, Start Living, Dr. Laura’s powerful lessons include:
- Why giving, giving, and giving some more to others is a gift to yourself too
- Why over-talking about your troubles is a big don’t and when to just shut up!
- How to reshape your self-image and reboot your relationships to get the life you want
Here is a sample of Dr. Laura’s common-sense advice:
Perspective is Everything – Look at every situation as an opportunity to add something positive to your life.
Talk! Talk? Talk! Talk? – Find the power in taking action instead of complaining.
Just Say “No” to Hurt Feelings – Feelings can be sorted out and chosen based upon the selection of what you choose to focus on — so focus on the positive.
Always So Sa-a-a-a-a-d – The whining mode creates a state of mind that seems to dig you deeper into your sadness hole. The more you contemplate, relive, and curse the hurt, the more miserable you grow to feel, and the more you become immune to acknowledging the good in your life.
This Relationship Stinks – Your marriage license is not a license to whine, instead it’s an invitation to love and be loved.
The Earth Is Not the Center of the Universe — and You and I Aren’t Either! – Don’t drown in your own ego or pain, or discount the needs and feelings of others. We are ultimately dependent upon and impacting others in ways we don’t even realize.
Start Living – If you don’t like your life, stop whining and change it! Do whatever it takes to make change happen, no matter how difficult.
Everyone can use a kick in the pants sometimes, and Dr. Laura is here to deliver it!
