How Could You Do That?! Audiobook Summary

How Could You Do That?! illustrates Dr. Laura Schlessinger’s philosophy of personal responsibility through her usually provocative but always stimulating moral dialogues with callers about everyday ethical dilemmas.

In her lively pull-no-punches style, Dr. Laura takes on the moral dilemmas of our time: from the mindless pursuit of pleasure and immediate gratification, to taking the easy way out when those actions produce uncomfortable life-altering consequences. She demonstrates in no uncertain terms that personal values are never someone else’s responsibility but your own, and why choosing not to honor them compounds unhappiness.

Dr. Laura delivers not only a compelling argument for an ethical approach to life but also an invaluable inspiration to rebuilding character, conscience, and courage. Here is a work that can make a genuine difference in the quality of your own life and the lives of those we love.

While I don't agree with many of Schlessinger's views, particularly her views on any sexuality other than hetero, her misogyny, closed-mindedness, and her personal hypocrisy, I do appreciate her belief in behaving with honor and the importance of choosing character, courage, and conscience over immediate desires. Her "go do the right thing" mantra has always resonated with me, and she freely admits that there is often plenty of external costs to doing so. Because of this, it's easy to start to manipulate your moral code and values into those that are more convenient. I'm glad I revisited her. This book is a keeper and full of words of wisdom even though I very much dislike her as a person.

Some love her, some hate her. I, for one, love her. This is a great book for anyone wanting to take responsibility for their own lives.

Nothing much new if you've always done the right thing with advice that treats values as absolute rather than relative. Simple as that. But towards the end it helped transform fuzzy feelings into sensible principles by articulating clearly what goes on in some lives. A call back to good character.

I know Dr. Laura really blew it lateley but this is a really good book that cuts through all the excuses and rationalizing we and others use to justify bad behavior. She encourages us to a higher level of honor, integrity, and self-discipline in our daily living while helping us to recognize the b.s.

Some people mess up and turn themselves around and make things right. Some people have no remorse and don't even get that they need to make things right. This book is hard-hitting, but much needed in this society of selfishness, irresponsibility, and "tolerance".

After reading this book, I desired to be more steadfast, courageous and calculated in my decisions. I desired to take the long road.
