This book by Phil McGraw captures and keeps your attention from the first page of the introduction (where he tells the story of how he met Oprah and took the first steps from being a litigation consultant to the country's life coach). He shares personal experiences of what some would call "light bulb moments" or times he "got it". He distills the life lessons he's learned into a clear action plan for a better life. Get out a pencil and actually do the exercises to best create real change.
Highly recommended to all who want more out of life.

He explains the ten laws of life: You either get it or don't.
Solution: Become one of those who gets it.
~You create your own experience.
Accept accountability for your life.
~People do what works.
Identify the payoffs that drive you and others.
~You cannot change what you do not acknowledge.
Get real with yourself about life and everybody in it.
I could list more laws, but you really need to read
the book. He gives you the best "nuts and bolts" info
to help you turn the negatives into positives.

This book teaches what Dr. Phil calls "The Ten Laws of Life". There is a good "relationship questionnaire" and the last chapter is "Relationship Rescue". There are 18 assignments through the entire book to help you reflect. I really liked that this is an easy to understand book and that it helps you look at things in your life that you might not have thought of before.

Like Dr. Phil? This books for you. Straight talking Dr Phil offers advice on real life problems and doesn't mince his words. A good self-help book that doesn't bog down with too many details. Just plain good advice.

Dr. Phil is a wonder - a most down to earth, rational thinker. This book helps straighten the path of all kinds of life's wanderings. I happen to have two copies so will willingly pass one along.

Who are you? This is the question you will find answers to in this book. Dr. McGraw will walk you step by step through the process of finding your true self. He will help you find how you came to be the person you are today and the person you want to be. He explains how we become a person busy making others happy or what they want us to be. We forget the part of ourselves that wants to be expressed.

What can I say? I love Dr. Phil. The first of the "Ten Laws of Life" from the back of the book says it all for me. Life Law #1: You either get it, or you don't. Strategy: Become one of those who gets it. I thought I got it, but I learned how to __really__ get it when I read this book. One of my favorites.

For someone who doesn't exactly embrace self-help books, I must say that this was helpful (although, admittedly, I say it grudgingly). Phil's brand of homespun, straight-talkin' advice is nothing you haven't heard before, but it is a well laid out and good advice nonetheless.

Unpickupable.
The book is dated (1999), but "Dr. Phil" principles and strategies have not changed and this explains the well. Very useful to me, hope it can be to you too. Book is in good shape. Somebody bent a corner on the back cover, but that is only a little cosmetic "ding".
It's a good book, well worth the read.
Dr Phil is right on with his therapy.

The best Dr. Phil book, in my opinion. Straightforward advice.
This book can really put you on the right course in life by helping you get your attitude and priorities in order. Dr. Phil always calls a spade a spade and is really great at getting us to see what is our responsibility in situations, what we can control and what we can't.
Dr Phil's insights into making your life better. Actually has some very good advice on finding what matters to you and focusing on that in your life. If you like Dr. Phil, you'll love it; it not....

This book is in good condition.
Cover was printed upside down on book - all pages are printed in correct order but the first page starts after the back cover, then goes in order - cover is upside down and backwards.
