Product Description
Judge Judy has heard enough.As a family court judge in New York City and now in her successful TV courtroom show, she has listened to thousands of excuses, complaints, and tales of woe from women of every background, and she's ready to rule. Women, she states with her trademark frankness, need to wise up, stop subjugating who they are, and stop making stupid decisions in the name of love. They hide their talents and opinions so they won't offend. They tiptoe through life letting others take credit for their ideas because they would rather be liked than respected. They spend their lives trying to please everyone but them-selves, and then they wonder why they feel so frustrated and unfulfilled. Beauty Fades, Dumb Is Forever presents Judge Judy's ten hard and true lessons for happiness: - Beauty fades, dumb is forever.
- Don't crawl when you can fly.
- What goes up must come down.
- Denial is a river in Egypt.
- Master the game--then play it.
- You're the trunk of the tree.
- You can't teach the bull to dance.
- Failure doesn't build character.
- Letting go is half the fun.
- You can be the hero of your own story.

 OLDIES LOVER July 21, 2008
GREAT BOOK. JUDGE JUDY HITS THE NAIL ON THE HEAD ON EVERYTHING & IS A HILARIOUS READ. ONLY WISH THERE WERE MORE COMMON SENSE JUDGES LIKE HER.
Great Advice for Any Woman! June 24, 2008
I picked up this book on a whim and boy am I glad I did! I found the advice and the anecdotes within to be very motivational and inspirational. I've already begun applying them to my own life and have gotten wonderful results.
All her advice is very down-to-earth. She explains negative female behaviors that are spot-on and how to realistically abolish them. The person she encourages you to become is something attainable.
If you hate Judge Judy, you'll probably hate this book. She's not a writer, don't expect to be astounded by her writing. Do expect to read some great advice. If you are a fan, also expect to learn a little bit more about the woman behind the bench. If you've learned a lot from watching her show, you'll learn even more reading this book. Never once did I read something that left me scratching my head. Everything she says is very reasonable.
I've seen the results already in my personal relationships, my job and my outlook on life. I've recommended this book to all of my friends. I can't say enough about it. Although it may not impact you as strongly as its impacted me, anyone will be able to take something from it.
Judge Judy IS the truth machine May 4, 2008
This book was very informative for young women more then older women, but I think ALL women can learn from reading this. She told about her experiences in life, that she also had made some dumb mistakes, but that she learned from them and didn't make them again. I like her way of thinking. She's a no nonsense type person that I think many people should try to be like. Would I buy another book of Judge Judy's? Yes. Was I entertained while reading it? Yes. It wasn't a novel that you couldn't put down, but a book that whenever you wanted to read it you could pick it up and be familiar with where she was going.
Where Were U When I Needed U? April 19, 2008
I am a fan of Judge Judy. I like her no nonsense approach to life and the legal system. Having myself grown up in a family of police and police chiefs, I know full well the crap that goes on in life as well as the legal system. Having just gone through a legal fiasco of being accused of something I didn't and wouldn't do, I prayed to have a judge like Judge Judy preside over the case. This drug out for 2 years while the other person smeared my name in every media outlet she could think of - even the FBI - and every place where I was scheduled to give talks about my book. I finally had to sue her to shut her up and then she hid like a scared @*&%$! Well after dragging this out by not providing us with their evidence and discovery - which I am sure she didn't have, they decided to settle out of court with a public retraction and an apology as to what she had said about me. So I never got my day in court, but oh I wish I had just to hear Judge Judy tell her "you can't fix stupid and dumb is forever!" I recommend her books, they are funny, comical and down to earth legal approches to life in the court system. You will get a whole new perspective on the way things are done and they might get you fired up to get a wrong you have been dealt righted. Read Them!!
