My Mother's Rules

A Practical Guide to Becoming an Emotional Genius

By: Lynn Toler

Narrated by: Lynn Toler

In this unique, profoundly inspirational memoir, Divorce Court star Judge Lynn Toler shares her mother's wisdom for learning to conquer anger and become immune to insult. Toler credits her mother's "rules" for life - a life that saw her grow up the daughter of a poor teen mother and endure a husband who suffered mental illness and alcoholism - with providing the grounding for her own success and happiness. Toler shows how the mindset of "a black woman who knew how to make things work" taught her the power of knowing how to manage one's emotional business - lessons that this book offers in wrenching stories written in spare and graceful prose. My Mother's Rules is an unforgettable book that will captivate listeners with its illustrations of how to rise above the most difficult circumstances and find peace and success in life.

My Mother's rules

Very good, thought provoking, with depth and some insight into the making of Judge Lynn the persona I grew to admire in her relationship programs, eg., Divorce court.

Ofcourse I Concur

I picked up this book after listening to a recent interview with The Honorable Judge. It has been suggested that I write down the principal and words to live by that I share. Now I know I can simply refer them to this book. If they apply it, many can be find in these pages a blueprint to things that will lead to sanity.

an amazing read ,full of wise knowledge

I absolutely love it I hope I can remember to go back to it when it comes to controlling myself and dealing with the inconsistency of my sometimes volatile character

listen to it!

although it may be hard to endure for some if you are in need of a better understanding of your self and the undetermined obstacles ahead this should help!

Excellent advice from a legend!
