My Mother's Rules: A Practical Guide to Becoming an Emotional Genius
I don't know if this would be helpful to Aspies since I haven't downloaded it yet much less read it. But if I wait to post, it may not be free any more. Book description:
Quote:
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 readers with its illustrations of how to rise above the most difficult circumstances and find peace and success in life.
I know I have problems with anger (a lot of it due to not being able to figure out other people's emotions and motivations). Of course it's not written for Aspies, but maybe we could get some practical advice from it? And since it's free, no waste of money if I/we don't.
