Lundy Bancroft's bestselling Why Does He Do That? has more than 200,000 copies in print after 22 printings and currently rates 2,000 copies per month. Now Lundy offers his readers a daily dose of strength, encouragement, and reassurance for women in destructive relationships. In the vein of Robin Norwoods' Meditations for Women Who Love Too Much (21,993 copies sold) this is a companion volume to a very successful relationship book.

Lundy Bancroft expands on his bestseller Why Does He Do That? in this daily guide that empowers women who are suffering in abusive relationships.

Even if you've read Why Does He Do That?, it may be hard to see the truth of what is happening to you. You may feel overwhelmed by confusion, loss, and fear, and find yourself looking away from the truth and falling back into traumatic patterns.

What you need is something that is there for you every day-to help you make a long series of little changes that will ultimately add up to a big one.

Like a constant friend, this collection of meditations is a source of strength and reassurance designed to speak to women like you, women in relationships with angry and controlling men. It is a tool you can use tolearn how to value and respect yourself-even when your partner makes it very clear that he does not.

With seven themes designed to encourage and inspire, Daily Wisdom for Why Does He Do That? will help youdigest what is happening one day at a time, so that you can gain clarity, safety, and freedom.

You will see the truth in your destructive relationship.
You and your children will survive.
And-with these encouragements-even tomorrow will be a better day than today.

"Bancroft has opened a window into the thinking of abusive men, and his book helps open a door out of abusive relationships."--Gavin de Becker, New York Times bestselling author of The Gift of Fear and Fear Less

"This is without a doubt the most informative and useful book yet written on the subject of abusive men."--Jay G. Silverman, PhD, director, Violence Prevention Programs, Harvard School of Public Health

"Bancroft boldly asks--and brilliantly answers--the most important questions of all: Why do so many men abuse women? What can be done about it? This book is desperately needed and long overdue."--Jackson Katz, creator of the award-winning video Tough Guise: Violence, Media and the Crisis in Masculinity

"This is essential reading for those in the helping professions and highly recommended."--Library Journal
