Parenting is the most important and noble act you will ever undertake, yet American families are threatened like never before from the inside as well as the outside -- many of us fight too much, don't get involved enough in our children's lives, or get bogged down in life's daily struggles instead of keeping our eye on the big picture of our family's well-being.

Dr. Phil shows parents how to make changes now -- how to put a stop to your children's tantrums; talk to them about peer pressure or self-esteem; instill values like integrity, honesty, and respect for other people; and bring order back to your house. If you want your child to have a happy, fulfilled life, you must open your eyes to the crucial role you play in his or her development. Most important, Dr. Phil's new book offers you and your family hope -- for a phenomenal home life now, and a productive, fulfilling future for your children. As Dr. Phil says, you are not just raising children, you are also raising adults, and everything you do today impacts what kind of adult your child will become. You are building the future. * Please contact Member Services for additional PDF file *

Self Matters

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. 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-thinking works on self-concept and self-esteem ever published. We get only one chance in this world. Dr. Phil shows all how to make the most of it. 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?

Life Strategies: Doing What Works, Doing What Matters

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. As reviewed by Robert Cary on April 2, 2000 I just purchased and listened to the 4 audio tapes. What strikes me about Phillip McGraw is that he is VERY matter-of-fact about taking responsibility for your decisions and your life. If more people would notice that when they point a finger at something or someone else, THREE of their own fingers are pointing back at themselves, our communication and relatedness with one another in local/regional/national/international communities would DRAMATICALLY improve. I HIGHLY recommend these strategies to EVERYONE! I'm seriously considering purchasing the CD for my home listening so that I can keep the tapes in my car. My drive to work every morning has turned my automobile into a mobile university with Phil McGraw as the mentor/coach. NOW is the time to create the life you love. No more waiting, no more rehearsals. This is the real deal.
