Laura Schlessinger: Publications
Schlessinger has published a number of books. Several follow the mold of her successful
Ten Stupid Things Women Do to Mess Up Their Lives, with similarly named books giving advice for men, couples, and parents, others are more religious or moral in orientation. The later advice books emphasize religion more than the earlier works, until her announced departure from Orthodox Judaism in July, 2003.
Her most recent book,
The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands, has done extremely well. Many calls to the radio show discuss the new book and Schlessinger often refers to it. This latest work is a departure from her previous advice books - which tended to focus on pre-marital relationships and children. Her premise departs from her previous advice to always put children first. Instead, Proper Care encourages wives to keep their husbands happy by providing sex and meals cheerfully at all times. Its thesis is that wives have the power to change their husbands' attitudes by seeing to these needs, and then their husbands will do anything they wish. The book proposes that wives have the power to prompt feelings of care and commitment from their husbands, which will create an atmosphere of mutual respect and happiness. Critical reviews have been dismissive, but sales are very strong.
