Book Description:
In LIFE STRATEGIES, Phillip McGraw tells his readers how to make the dramatic changes in their lives that they've craved for so long. Whether readers are in a bad relationship or a bad marriage, stuck in a dull career or in harmful habits, he helps readers to wake up and get out of their ruts. These ten strategies are eye-opening and no-nonsense. McGraw tells readers they have to take charge of and responsibility for their lives, and get ready to act and move on. The strategies are:

1. You either get it, or you don't
2. There are no accidents
3. People do what works
4. You cannot change what you do not acknowledge
5. Life rewards action
6. There is no reality, only perception
7. Life is managed, not cured
8. We teach others how to treat us
9. There is freedom in forgiveness
10. You have to name it to claim it

McGraw's straightforward and powerful advice will speak to the hearts of readers who are tired of being told to wallow in self-pity.

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".

Good strategies if you think your life is going no-where and can't forgive yourself for past mistakes. Real life advice for real people. No nonsense.

If you watch Dr. Phil on TV you know all about this book. He tells it like it is and lays out a plan to change your life.
