Nine Fantasies That Will Ruin Your Life and the Eight Realities That Will Save You - Hardcover

Yikes the lottery! Careful on the soul mates!
When I was a kid, I used to dream of winning the lottery. I'd imagine the millions filtering in -- all the items I'd buy from the Montgomery Wards catalogue -- I'd even take a mid-afternoon nap to dream of such prizes. Well, thankfully I never won. My life probably would have turned out much differently and instead of working as the editor with the brillant Dr. Joy Browne, I'd probably be in a Graceland-like mansion -- somewhere on a super highway -- watching soap operas, eating chips and telling my friends, "Stop askin' for my money!" In her book, "The Nine Fantasies," Dr. Browne can convince anyone to get on with and conquer life's every day problems concerning love, relationships, family and feelings of insecurities. While you might tuck your fantasies away in your back pocket, you'll use Dr. Joy's right-on tips for living a more reality-based life that really is the only secret to happiness. Life isn't about a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. It's about traveling on a road, getting thrown off the road, coming back and finding your own salvation. I promise you, Dr.Joy will see to it that you get there. Enjoy, she's a wonderfully insightful woman and always full of magical advice that always seems to fit just right.

Dr. Joy Browne knows a little something about adventures--she has been an archaeologist, a med school student, an engineer on the space program, and had her own private psychology practice. A licensed clinical psychologist, she received the 1998 American Psychological Association's President's Award for contributions to the field. Voted Best Female Talk Show Host for the last two years by the National Association of Talk Show Hosts, Dr. Joy's radio program is heard on more than 300 stations in the United States and Canada. She is also the author of the best-seller Dating for Dummies and four other books.
