I want to provide you with a formula for success. ~ Dr. Phillip McGraw Amazon.com Review: Some people spend their lives reacting to what life hands them, while others craft life to fit their goals. Author Phillip C. McGraw, who is a psychologist but describes himself as a strategist, is determined to make sure that his readers are the creators of their lives, not created by their lives. By accepting that you are personally accountable for every element of your life, McGraw says, you can erase the negative 'epidemic behaviors' (found in all of American society: denial, false assumptions, inertia, deceptive masking) in your life and reach your goals. Written in a tough-love, sometimes cantankerous tone, this self-help book is not for those looking to explore their inner child or visualize away negative energy. No, this is pull-yourself-up-by-the- bootstraps advice from someone who's done just that. McGraw opens with a scene describing how he helped Oprah Winfrey survive--and win--the 1998 'Mad Cow' lawsuit in Texas, when she was having difficulty coping with the reality of what was happening to her. He helped her face the facts about the lawsuit, after which she was better able to participate in crafting a strategy to win it. McGraw first forces you to take a good hard look at who you are by dissecting your personality. It may be painful to realize that you fall into the 'Porcupine' or 'Perfecto' or any of the other personality types McGraw delineates, but here it's true that there's no gain without pain, because (Life Law No. 4) 'You Can't Change What You Don't Acknowledge.' He then describes in depth all 10 'Life Laws'--the rules by which the world plays--that he learned the hard way. Laws such as 'You Either Get It, or You Don't,' 'Life Is Managed; It Is Not Cured,' and 'You Have to Name It to Claim It' make up the bulk of the book and McGraw's realist philosophy. If you learn and abide by the Life Laws and go on to create a Life Strategy, McGraw claims you will not only know yourself better and eliminate negative behaviors, you will also know how to reach any goal you set for yourself. --Stefanie Durbin Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - A Classic Path to Success "You create your own experience by and through the choices you make everyday." ~ pg. 67 "Life Strategies" is one of Dr. Phil's best books on success because it helps you manage your life so that you create momentum in the direction of your dreams. At first he paints a dismal picture of our society in decline and then explains how you can follow the path of winners by making simple changes in your daily choices. In order to program yourself for success Dr. Phil presents ... Read More Rating: - good advice for changing your life i've been reading this book and really thinking about the suggested advice and i think it's valuable. dr. phil tells it like it is. the life laws and strategies are worth considering. i do believe if put into practice his advice can help with any sitauation in your life that you're not happy about. as with any advice you get, take what is useful/valuable and discard the rest. this book has one of the best and most useful explanations on the importance of forgiveness that i've ever read. ... Read More Rating: - Dr. P's pep talk... "Life Strategies" is a quick, very basic reminder of sound - just as the title states - life strategies. Nothing profound here. Nothing earth shattering. Nothing you probably haven't heard in most contemporary self-help books, in fact. Or from your favorite neighborhood therapist, I imagine. The book may be a good addition to your bookshelf if that is what you seek - something of a reference book, or checklist, to turn to now and then to jog your memory about how to stay on track toward achieving your ... Read More Rating: - Mark Unread Haven't gotten a chance to read it yet. I glanced through it and it seems helpful in preparing my personal vision statement. Rating: - Eh Despite being embarrassed to buy this book (I felt like a loser handing it to the cashier), I bought it anyway because I like Dr. Phil's show--he's entertaining. However, I didn't find this book nearly as helpful as Wayne Dyer, The Secret or Eckart Tolle. I didn't take anything away from it, and I wish I had bought something else instead of this book. Sorry Dr. Phil! I still love your show and that brilliant masterpiece, Dr. Phil House. see more Browse for similar items by category: Personal Health - Health, Mind & Body - Subjects - Books - General Personal Health - Health, Mind & Body - Subjects - Books - General AAS Psychology & Counseling - Health, Mind & Body - Subjects - Books - General Psychology & Counseling - Health, Mind & Body - Subjects - Books - General AAS Self-Help - Health, Mind & Body - Subjects - Books - Motivational
