With her trademark no-nonsense approach and building on
the principles developed during her long career as a
licensed therapist, New York Times bestselling author Dr.
Laura shows readers how to survive enemies—traitors,
backstabbers, and saboteurs—at work and at home. In her previous New York Times bestsellers, author and
renowned radio host Dr. Laura Schlessinger has helped
countless men and women become better husbands, wives,
parents, and people. She's helped them cope with grief;
encouraged them to be moral, compassionate, and considerate
individuals; shown them how to handle adversity; and set
them on the path to understanding and living happy,
well-adjusted lives. Now, in this long-awaited book, Dr. Laura turns to an
emotionally explosive subject that has touched all our
lives: betrayal and the desire for revenge. And for the
first time, she shares her own personal experiences with
betrayal, humiliation, and pain, which have led her to a
powerful desire for revenge. Intimate and honest, Dr. Laura
connects with her readers as never before and puts this
subject into context: I concluded that betrayals are frightening, destructive,
painful, humiliating, demoralizing, and so very, very hard
to repair. Betrayals undermine people, relationships
(marriages and families), institutions (churches, schools,
businesses, government, politics)—everything. The entire
fabric of humanity depends upon people depending upon each
other for their word, honesty, and loyalty. Millions of Dr. Laura's listeners struggle with the idea of
taking revenge and how to accept when it cannot be achieved.
For many who have been betrayed, justice may never be
served, she reminds us. Empathetic yet never saccharine,
direct yet never harsh, Dr. Laura encourages readers to
explore their feelings and learn to get beyond them,
supplying tools they can use to achieve fulfilling,
contented lives free of rancor and the need to settle scores. Powerful and thought-provoking, Surviving a Shark Attack (on
Land) gives readers the emotional defenses they need to
overcome the worst life will throw at them, whether it's a
cheating spouse, a lying sibling, or a ruthless colleague.
