Description

In this hard-hitting book. Dr. Laura Schlessinger delivers a witty, wise, and workable moral philosophy-based on the principle of personal responsibility. HOW COULD YOU DO THAT! argues passionately against the self-indulgent subjective morality used in our society to excuse all sorts of bad behavior.

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 ugly or uncomfortable life-altering consequences. She demonstrates in no uncertain terms that personal values are never someone elses responsibility, but our own, and why choosing not to honor them actually compounds unhappiness. Finally, she explains that by disciplining self-indulgence and rising above temptation we can discover the infinite pleasures, the true happiness, of the moral high ground.

Prominently featuring Dr. Lauras spirited, touching, and profound moral discussions with callers on her top-rated, internationally syndicated radio program, HOW COULD YOU DO THAT! is not only a compelling argument for an ethical approach to life, but an invaluable inspiration to rebuilding conscience, character, and courage.
