LIFE PRESERVERS

With wit, wisdom and uncommon sense, Dr. Harriet Lerner gives readers the tools to solve problems and create joy, meaning and integrity in their relationships. Women will find Life Preservers (more than 40,000 copies sold in hardcover) to be an invaluable motivational guide that covers the landscape of work and creativity, anger and intimacy, friendship and marriage, children and parents, loss and betrayal, sexuality and health and much more.

With new insights and a results-oriented approach, Dr. Lerner answers women's most frequently asked questions and offers the best advice for problems women face today:

I always pick the wrong guys.
Should I move in with him?
I can't stand my boss.
Should I leave my marriage?
How can I recover from his affair?
Is my fantasy abnormal?
Is my therapy working?
I miss my mother.
I can't believe I was fired.

Good, but not as good as her other books!

This was a great book- it covered a variety of topics. It was more of a compilation of her answers to reader’s questions. If you want more in-depth discussion on relationships, I would recommend Dr Lerner’s other book: the Dance of Anger or the Dance of Communication. Overall, it was good though. I love listening to Dr. Lerner’s insights.

Direct, clear wisdom

Harriet Lerner is the one self-help author who presents a truly balanced approach to relationships and their difficulties. I feel empowered and enlightened by her wisdom. I highly recommend this and all of her books.
