This review is from: The Good Karma Divorce: Avoid Litigation, Turn Negative Emotions into Positive Actions, and Get On with the Rest of Your Life (Hardcover)
WOW - what a refreshing way to look at divorce.
Lots of real workable advice, real-life examples, helpful checklists and no-nonsense tools.
I especially appreciate the line: "... there is no Right side in divorce. Like an eye for an eye, the only thing that happened in the end was that everyone was left with no eyes."
This will be THE guide I will give to all my friends having marital troubles.
Thank you. HIGHLY RECOMMEND "The Good Karma Divorce"

5.0 out of 5 stars FIVE STARS FOR THE GOOD KARMA DIVORCE!!!, January 6, 2010
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Good Karma Divorce: Avoid Litigation, Turn Negative Emotions into Positive Actions, and Get On with the Rest of Your Life (Hardcover)

This may well be the landmark book on surviving divorce with self-esteem and mental health intact. Judge Michele Lowrance offers practical help for the painful divorce process--and it appears to be useful information for not only during the divorce, but for long after. Her wise and compassionate attention to the safeguarding of children comes through with clarity and with sharp focus on the myth that children are resilient and will bounce back after divorce. I particularly enjoyed Judge Lowrance's audio version--she speaks with authority, humor and undisguised compassion for all who must experience the breakup of a marriage.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally!, January 7, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Finally, a process-oriented approach to one of life's most emotional experiences. Taking the drama and trauma out of divorce is a extraordinary feat and The Good Karma Divorce lays out the necessary roadwork to accomplish this. Loved the quotes scattered throughout the book, very thought provoking. The book is laid out in a very logical, easy to follow, easy to read style. I've decided to purchase The Good Karma Divorce for my sister, who seven years into her divorce, is still struggling with very bad karma!
