Dr. Phil's Life Strategies

Through his book, Life Strategies, Dr. Phillip C. McGraw, P.h.D., will help you create a winning strategy for success in any area of your life. It can and will work for you, if you are willing to get real with yourself and own your turn at true happiness. I know this because Life Strategies has truly helped me take charge of my own life. Life Strategies features 304 pages written by Dr. Phillip C. McGraw, P.h.D., who stars in his hit daytime talk-show "Dr. Phil", was published in New York by Hyperion Books in 1999. It made the number one New York Times Bestseller and is still being sold today for the general price of $13.95 both through the author and publisher. It can also be found in many book stores throughout the country.

In this very easy to read book, Dr. Phil gets real with you and tells you like it is as he has become famous for doing on television. I felt as if he were right there with me in my home throughout ever step of Life Strategies. The direct approach used in this work is blunt, honest and never sugar-coated. However I will warn you that it can be hard to take in at first as it asks you to deal with problems on every level while being completely honest with yourself. If you are willing to divulge deep into your own chaos, the rewards of this book and your hard work will be far more than you could have expected.

Throughout Life Strategies, Dr. Phil gives you assignments to complete that will help you through on your journey towards a more complete life. The assignments range from simple to complex yet none are impossible to follow through to completion with. Such assignments include a quiz to discover whether your life is in a rut or not and an exercise in pin-pointing the negative thoughts and comments you tell often allow yourself to believe. I recommend using a spiral notebook as your journal for the assignments as you will need to refer to them later in the book in order to complete your own personalized life strategy. While reading Dr. Phil's Life Strategies, you will learn "The Ten Laws of Life". According to the book, these are lessons, guides and beliefs you need in order to fully understand life and properly manage your own life.
