Self Matters Dr Phil McGraw - Audio Book CD

Brand New (still shrink wrapped):  6  hours   5 CDs

The well-known "life strategist" and TV personality Dr. Phil begins this upbeat self-help book by recalling one of the most unpleasant phone calls he ever had to make. In 1989, ten years into a flourishing career, McGraw called his father to say that, despite the outward trappings of success, he was miserable. His new plan was to move away and start a new career and a new life. According to McGraw, many people are currently in a similar situation-trapped in unsatisfying lives or jobs that they loathe. Too many people, says McGraw, are "so busy being busy, that they have let the colors fade from their lives."

Your life has a root core that, once understood, unlocks a powerful force to create the life the way you want. Key questions and an amazingly clear "map" are now at your fingertips so you can "Live by Design."

In this groundbreaking work, Dr. Phil challenges you to find your "authentic self" -- that person you have always wanted to be, but were too distracted, busy, or scared to become. Instead, you have created a "fictional self" -- taking on the identity of who you believe you are supposed be. The incongruence between these two selves is what leads you to feel that your life is incomplete, unbalanced, and more difficult than it should be.

KEY ELEMENTS TO IDENTIFY AND BRING INTO ACTION ORIENTED FOCUS INCLUDE:
# What are the ten most defining moments of your life?
# What are the seven most critical choices you have made to put you on your current path?
# Who are the five most pivotal people in your world and how have they shaped you?

In Self Matters, Dr. Phil helps you to demystify your self-concept, and learn how to reclaim your authentic self. You can learn to think beyond the excuses and fears that have masked the person you want to be. By facing the cards life has dealt you, you can relearn how to best react to them.

Self Matters is one of the most forward-thinkin

About Dr Phil McGraw:

Dr. Phil McGraw has galvanized millions of people to "get real" about their own behavior and create more positive lives. Dr. Phil, his syndicated, daily one-hour series, is the second highest rated daytime talk show in the nation. The show has been making headlines and breaking records since its September 2002 launch, when it garnered the highest ratings of any new syndicated show since the launch of The Oprah Winfrey Show 16 years prior.

Now in the sixth season of his namesake series, Dr. Phil’s success stems from his “get real” approach to helping his guests solve their problems, stripping through their emotional clutter, getting down to the bare bones of their issues and giving them the challenge they need to move ahead. Dr. Phil champions those who suffer from such silent epidemics as domestic violence, child abuse, depression, racism, substance abuse and other health issues that are prevalent in society, but go largely undiscussed by their victims.

One highlight from last season was literally looking into the lives of several groups of people who periodically came to reside at the “Dr. Phil House,” an actual home fitted with cameras and television screens. These willing subjects were observed 24/7 to investigate their dysfunctional behaviors and they received the benefits of Dr. Phil’s counsel at appropriate moments when he popped up on a monitor to talk with them, or showed up in person. Dr. Phil was able to access the house’s happenings at any time from his own private home, his office and even his car.

Dr. Phil is author of six #1 New York Times bestsellers: Life Strategies: Doing What Works, Doing What Matters; Relationship Rescue: A Seven-Step Strategy for Reconnecting with Your Partner; Self Matters: Creating Your Life From the Inside Out; The Ultimate Weight Solution: The Seven Keys to Weight Loss Freedom; Family First:Your Step-by-Step Plan for Creating a Phenomenal Family and his most recent book, Love Smart: Find The One You Want, Fix The One You Got, which was released in December 2005. Love Smart offers you the plan to find not just any relationship, but the committed, loving, joy-filled relationship you've been waiting for. He is also the author of the New York Times bestseller The Ultimate Weight Solution Cookbook: Recipes for Weight Loss Freedom as well as The Ultimate Weight Solution Food Guide. His books have been published in 39 languages with over 24 million copies in print.

Most recently, his wife Robin launched Inside My Heart: Choosing to Live with Passion and Purpose, her debut book. The book became the #1 hardcover/advice book on The New York Times best-seller list.

Dr. Phil has a B.A. from Midwestern State University and an M.A. and Ph.D. in clinical psychology from North Texas State University with a dual area of emphasis in clinical and behavioral medicine.

He founded The Dr. Phil Foundation, a nonprofit charitable organization that is committed to helping children and families at risk. It is also devoted to rewarding remarkable children who are working hard to overcome tremendous obstacles and give back to their family and community. The foundation is another tool in Dr. Phil's arsenal to fight what he calls the "silent epidemics" in America, those problems that cripple our society in subtle but undeniable ways.

An avid tennis player, golfer and scuba diver, Dr. Phil lives in Los Angeles with Robin. The couple have been married for 31 years and have two sons: Jordan, their younger son, and Jay who married in August 2006.
