Advice Goddess Radio Tonight: Special Guest, Dr. Barbara Oakley
My fifth show is tonight -- 7 p.m. Pacific time, 10 p.m. Eastern, for an hour, and WE NEED YOUR CALLS!
Tonight, very special guest Dr. Barbara Oakley, author (most recently) of the fascinating book, Cold-Blooded Kindness: Neuroquirks of a Codependent Killer, or Just Give Me a Shot at Loving You, Dear, and Other Reflections on Helping That Hurts
I'll be talking with Dr. Oakley about enablers and other purveyers of "helping that hurts," aka "Pathological Altruism," which is also the title of a fascinating edited Oxford Press book that she is the lead author on. More about Dr. Oakley here.
We'll be taking your calls -- a not-to-be-missed opportunity to both hear and talk with Dr. Oakley and, of course, your hostess, Amy Alkon.
Call in to comment on something in the news (related to love, dating, sex, relationships, or rudeness), call in for advice, or call in to talk about something in my column.
If you're willing to call, please let me know (comments or email me at adviceamy at AOL dot com) so I know I'll have some people to talk with.

About the show:
Nationally syndicated advice columnist Amy Alkon takes your questions on love, dating, sex, relationships, and manners.It's most fun and most interesting (and I get in "the zone") when you call and I can play off of you. So don't be shy -- call-in number once the show is on and live (at 7 p.m.): (347) 326-9761 (New York area code).
Call in for advice on the topic we're discussing, to bat around your thoughts on love, dating, sex, relationships, and manners, or to ask for advice on any topic on the above!
You can go to that regular link to download the podcast after the show (you may have to wait 10 minutes or so for it to post). "Play in your default player" downloads it as a podcast. "Download" makes it play on your computer. Yeah, a little bassackwards.
Her book is on my to read list. I haven't had time yet. My son's band is playing tonight and I don't know if I'll be home in time to call but I'd definitely be interested in hearing your guest.

I'll at least listen in. I won't guarantee a call. But if I have something that strikes me I will.

This show is going great. Amy, I find myself wanting to pick nits with you in the same was as on the blog... By which I mean that we disagree about nothing you're saying in any meaningful way.

Gregg is REAL! He lives!
Eric had said he was just a special effect from Hollywood. (But *I* never believed that, Amy.)

This woman is easy to like

Another good show.
Glad Gregg got the interference sorted.

He is -- it's the most wonderful thing. (Imaginary boyfriends suck.)
Does he sound like you expected?
(Writer Lowell Cauffiel describes him as "Detroit-ornery," but he's very sweet to me.)
