Super easy read. She is a very real person and loves her husband. Written on a third grade reading level.

I thought this book was truly inspiring. By being able to see the choices Robin made and why she made them, she has inspired me to make the right choices for myself from now on.

Robin McGraw, wife of Dr. Phil, tells the story of her life growing up, her marriage to Phillip, her children. A very positive book with lots of good suggestions for making one's life better.

Robin McGraw writes a very thoughtful book on women's insecurities. She shows alot of insight into all the minds of women who feel they have no power, no ability to take hold of their own lives. She is a strong woman who has a good marriage and family. She knows herself and encourages others to stand up for their beliefs.

EXCELLENT BOOK! I would highly recommend it. It can either reinforce what you're already doing or encourage you to get on the right track. It is also just a delightful look into Robin McGraw's heart, just like the title says! From the back "I am on a mission to get you excited about your life, excited about being a woman in this day and time. My goal is to help you see your life as I see mine: A vast array of choices that can bring you closer to the person you long to be. Your life is waiting for you to claim it. It's all in the choosing."

I really enjoyed Robin's book. It is a very fast read, but very nicely written. Learned a lot of things about Dr. Phil that I didn't know!

Really great book, I always had ideas about how blessed her life had probably been, but she has had struggles just like the rest of us. The difference is she made good choices that brought her to where she is today. I really enjoyed hearing her story in her words.

I enjoyed Robin's book very much. It was very inspiring to me -- to read about her hardships growing up and her confident and secure life now. It was a quick but very interesting read!

Dr Phil's wife, how she empowered herself to be her own woman, and how she writes so other women makeover their own legacy as well.

What an awsome book..Could not put it down.I think all adults should read this book before they have kids,or get married, to help them know how important family is and marriage is and not to just give up on things work at it.
I'll read just about any memoir to find out how other people "tick", and when I came across this book, I was expecting to find just another "stand by your man", good 'ol girl story. And while I did find Ms. McGraw to be completely and absolutely devoted to "her man", she also appears charming and genuinely likable here. While the book is full of anecdotes about who else?....Dr. Phil! (every other story is about the sainted dr. and his impact on Robin's life and her great love for him), she tells a heartfelt story of her life up to their first couple of years in LA after the start of his talkshow. As large a role as he plays in her life, she reveals so much more in her stories about her mom and her dad and her two boys. This woman has some fortitude. She didn't have it easy at times, but she doesn't come across as woeful or histrionic. It was a quuiiiick read...did it in a couple of hours one evening.

This turned out to be a very enjoyable book. I found myself identifying with so much that Robin McGraw had experienced. I came away feeling that she is a very genuine and "real" person. I was inspired to trust my "gut" more often and stand up for my family as their mother and protector. I would definitely recommend the book, especially mothers.
