Editorial Review:

Amazon.com Review:
Author and reader Phillip McGraw is at the forefront of a group of self-help gurus rethinking Americans' decade-plus-long celebration of victimhood. Calling himself a realist, he outlines 10 ways to take responsibility for and change your life. His reading mirrors the style of the weekend motivational seminars he conducts, designed to spark the listener into action. The lively pace crackles with such gems as, "My dad had taught me there are times in life where you just don't want to miss a good chance to shut up." While tape 1's side A bogs down during an account of Oprah Winfrey's beef-industry battles, side B dives quickly into the meat of the audiobook, featuring anecdotes from McGraw's own life and the 10 "Life Laws"--the rules by which McGraw believes the world plays. (Running time: 5 hours, 4 cassettes) --Kimberly Heinrichs

Product Description:
If you are:



  • capable of more than you are accomplishing;

  • frustrated that you are not making more money;

  • Stuck in a rut and not getting what you want;

  • bored with yourself;

  • silently enduring an emotionally barren life or marriage;

  • trudging, zombie-like, through an unchallenging career;

  • just "going through the motions" of your life;

  • living in a comfort zone that yields too little challenge;

  • living a lonely existence with little hope for change;



then hold on as Dr. Phillip McGraw takes you on a guided tour of your life

to honestly label the problems and causes that control your destiny.

Life Strategies will give you the most honest explanation of your life

and how you got where you are that has ever been published. Dr. McGraw

is results-based and measures success in terms of changed lives, not rhetoric.

This audiobook is a plain-talk, entertaining way to learn to take control of

your life, right now. In this audiobook the author describes the ten Laws of

Life that every person needs to know. Learn them, use them, and improve

virtually every aspect of your life, from work to home to spiritual to physical. Ignore them and you'll continue to pay the price.

With Life Strategies, Dr. McGraw tells you how to strategically control your life, rather than continue as a frustrated passenger.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - 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: 4 out of 5 stars - 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 ...

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - 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: 2 out of 5 stars - 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.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Dr. Phil's book keeps it real
This book was bought for my neice. I already had it and believe me, after you read the first two chapters you know this book isn't just a lot of mumbo jumbo. Instead of giving you reasons why your life is messed up it actually helps you evaluate your life where it is at right now. You'll gain insight about your behaviors and how they affect your decisions. You'll understand how you invite people to treat you the way they do. It's not all roses but it's great information if you really want to make ... Read More
