BAD CHILDHOOD--GOOD LIFE

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.
