Life Strategies: Doing What Works, Doing What Matters by Phillip C. McGraw and Phillip C. McGraw Ph.D. (2000, Paperback, Reprint)

I bought this for my son, who recently ended a 7 year relationship (not his choice!!) because I absolutely LOVE Dr. Phil, and find that his books are written in a plain english, common sense way that EVERYONE can easily understand. I have several other books of his and found them to give me new insight into my own life and what I was looking for, so I thought this might help my son resurrect his relationship, since she keeps telling him that he "still has a chance", and if not, it would help him in his next one. I read a good portion of the book before (reluctantly) giving it to him. He says he is getting alot out of it, and is easily determining where he went wrong. Thank You Dr. Phil!!!!!!!!!!!

I purchased this book to help me improve things in my life . I feel the book is quite helpful and as long as you are willing to do the hard work of really answering the hard questions it will make a big change in your life .

If you read only one Dr. Phil book I suggest this one. In this book Dr. Phil lays out in easy to understand text the reason we do and don't do what is necessary to have complete and happy lives. You will find the answer to many of life's challenges here including self esteem issues, weight control, and other nagging problems. I can't sum it up better than to say it's a must read.

Dr. Phil has written an excellent book regarding Life Strategies. Most people choose to make excuses for their lack of accomplishment concerning their life. Simply put, Dr. Phil states and provides guidance that this is your choice. You can do something about it but you must act. The book has his 10 Life Choices that each must examine.

"Life isn't fair and we need to get use to it," writes Phillip C. McGraw, Ph.D.. I respect Dr. Phill for this comment. Reflecting on history I must add that his words ring truth and acceptance of that truth provides for enough inspiration to bring us into a whole new dimension of existence. Acceptance of any shortcoming... Including what is not considered fair is a large order to adhere to. Life isn't fair and we need to accept that. It is one of the first hurdles that we need to jump over in order to become Purpose Driven individuals willing to accept that life is just unacceptable at times. Knowing this opens the door to several proactive troubleshooting techniques known as Dr. Phill's "Life Strategies."
