Dr. Joyce Brothers: noted psychologist, television personality, syndicated newspaper and magazine columnist, and best selling author will visit TCC Nov. 29 to speak at 11 a.m. in the Auditorium. Her topic will be “How to Unlock Your Mental Powers”.
Dr. Brothers has been regarded as one of the 10 most influential women in the world today. She has also been named a half dozen times to “The Most Admired Women” by the Gallup Pall. In a single week the soft-spoken psychologist talks to more people than Sigmund Freud did in a lifetime. She attributes her success largely to a genuine empathy with her audience and an ability to dispense sound advice in simple language.
Colleagues in her profession believe her unique and hopeful outlook on life is excellent group therapy. Still, Dr. Brothers modestly insists she is merely a link between the viewer and professional literature. “I attempt to give people information which will be of some service to them in everyday living.”
In a single week, the soft-spoken psychologist talks to more people than Sigmund Freud did in a lifetime. Despite her tranquil demeanor and her efforts to provide tranquility for others, she leads a fast-paced schedule. Besides appearing on such national programs as the TONIGHT SHOW, DINAH, and MERV GRIFFIN SHOW, she writes a syndicated column that appears in some 350 daily newspapers throughout the nation.
She is also the author of two books. Ten Days to a Successful Memory, a resource manual for remembering names and faces which is published by Prentice Hall, and Better Than Ever, printed by Simon & Schuster, which is Dr. Brothers’ personal belief that it is only when a woman passes 40 and her children are on their own she can feel free to live the most exciting years of her life.
