ReviewsI came across this title on Amazon's recommended books and after reading a sample of it on my Kindle, had no issue in paying for the rest. I personally have my own set of 'rules' in dealing with my emotions as a way to keep a handle on my bipolar. By using what I've learned here, I feel confident that I can gain more control over the situations that I usually let slide by. Things like displaced anger, blowing up over a small issue because I am still upset about something that happened earlier in the day, can be put aside until the time is right to deal with it. This not only saves me the energy used in losing my cool, it also saves the embarrassment and guilt I'd feel later. I'd recommend this book in a heartbeat., Listening to Lynn Toler hand down judgments as judge on television's popular syndicated series Divorce Court, you would think she has always been a master of her emotions, and a brave, unflinching soul. Not so, she reveals in her awe-inspiring memoir and self-help guide, My Mother's Rules....[Toler] uses examples from her life and cases she encountered as a municipal judge to highlight ways readers can bring about important change in their lives., Toler makes Divorce Court work by employing her past experience as an Administrative Judge in Cleveland Heights Municipal Court. She also uses lessons she learned from her mother, whos she said was 'tremendous at understanding people's emotions.' In fact, she recently released a book aptly titled My Mother's Rules., Easy-reading prose and a no-nonsense approach will carry readers through this collection of anecdotes and rules for healthier living from first time author and Divorce Court star/judge Toler... And while the stories of Toler's upbringing have their merit, the book's strength lies in the sober, no-nonsense advice...", My Mother's Rules: A Practical Guide to Becoming an Emotional Genius reveals the complicated life of 47-year-old Toler, a Harvard graduate who struggled with fear and neurosis. And it shines a light on the humble life of Toni Toler, a Columbus stay-at-home mom whom the judge praises as "an incredible emotional manager....The judge, who divides her time between her Cleveland Heights home and Los Angeles tapings, doesn't hesitate to reveal her own shortcomings as well as those of her relatives and the defendants she's handled over the years. If you acted a fool in Cleveland Heights during the past decade, be forewarned: Your antics were part of the public record and may have found their way into Toler's book., I wrote a book, My Mother's Rules. It's a humorous memoir. My mother had a way of looking at life that I found very practical and meaningful. Whenever I was on the bench and I said something that really had some value, it was something Mom told me. I figured if it works on the bench and it works for me, it might work in general., Throughout Toler's life, from her childhood with a manic-depressive father to her role on Divorce Court, she's used her mother's guiding principles. The book lays out 43 principles to manage emotions and take control of any situation. After six years of work, My Mother's Rules: A practical Guide to Becoming an Emotional Genius, was published in 2007.

SynopsisLynn Toler was, if anything, an achiever. At thirty-three, after Harvard, Penn Law School, and a decade as a successful lawyer, she was elected to a municipal judgeship-a black woman in a mostly white community, where the opposing party held a 5: 1 majority. Once on the bench, responsible for adjudicating the countless minor squabbles and foibles to be found among her town's residents, she realized that the teachings of one person in particular helped her when dealing with those offenders. That person was her mother, a woman who possessed remarkable grace, strength, and simple insight. Toni Toler's "rules" for life were forged in growing up the daughter of a poor teen mother, and through a long marriage to a husband who suffered mental illness and alcoholism. The story of how she transcended these circumstances, and raised Lynn and her equally successful sister, provide the grounding for Lynn's story of her life, her family, and her career. The worldview that shaped these rules is based on learning how to conquer anger and become immune to insult. Lynn 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 memoir that will captivate readers with its illustrations of how to rise above the most difficult circumstances and find peace and success in life. ?Lynn Toler, a veteran municipal court judge from Cleveland Heights, Ohio, is now the star of the syndicated TV show Divorce Court.
