"i'd give this 4 1/2 stars if i could; i really enjoyed reading it. it really helped me to change my mentality on how i live my life. i think i've had things together pretty well - i've made it this far, haven't i? - but i hadn't realized how much stress i was creating in my life. this book helps you to see the importance of coming to conclusions on your own and not relying on the media to give you an unbiased report. it's amazing what happens in the media. i have been recommending this to a lot of people because of how it has helped me. i partially attribute how well this second year of med school is going for me to reading this book when i did."
"Myrna is a conservative and a republican. She is also past editor of Ladies Home Journal and subsequently MORE magazines. It's dully written, but the insider look into how women in the US have been convinced they are inadquate and live on fear was informative."
"This is a must-read for any woman who is so very tired of hearing Matt Lauer say, well, just about anything.
Reading this book helped me to better realize that my reality is diametrically opposed to what the media is trying to sell me. This book is a stress buster!"
"The author, a former women's magazine editor, admits that magazines and TV have a vested interest in keeping the American woman in a state of discontent. An unhappy woman is more likely to spend money to find a cure for her emotions. Well, duh."
