Summary of Lynn Toler's My Mother's Rules

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I have a predisposition to panic, and I have never been a brave person. I was designed that way. I was raised by an extraordinary mother who is master of an art most people don’t even see as a skill. #2 I learned that people do not typically do irregular things because they are immoral or criminal. They do so because they lose sight of the Boo-pound invisible gorilla. People are not well-practiced in dealing with their fears and desires. They act when they should instead sit still, and they feel when they should instead think. #3 The rules of common sense are simple. While you have the right to feel the way you do, you may not realize that you also have the ability to feel any way you want. The only thing you can control is yourself, and your emotions are one of the few areas in which you can dictate terms. #4 The rules are for the average person who wants to develop a greater immunity to life's ups and downs. They are for the regular guy who wants to stay level in an off-kilter world.
