This book teaches what Dr. Phil calls "The Ten Laws of Life". There is a good "relationship questionnaire" and the last chapter is "Relationship Rescue". There are 18 assignments through the entire book to help you reflect. I really liked that this is an easy to understand book and that it helps you look at things in your life that you might not have thought of before.

He explains the ten laws of life: You either get it or don't.
Solution: Become one of those who gets it.
~You create your own experience.
Accept accountability for your life.
~People do what works.
Identify the payoffs that drive you and others.
~You cannot change what you do not acknowledge.
Get real with yourself about life and everybody in it.
I could list more laws, but you really need to read
the book. He gives you the best "nuts and bolts" info
to help you turn the negatives into positives.

Like Dr. Phil? This books for you. Straight talking Dr Phil offers advice on real life problems and doesn't mince his words. A good self-help book that doesn't bog down with too many details. Just plain good advice.

Dr. Phil is a wonder - a most down to earth, rational thinker. This book helps straighten the path of all kinds of life's wanderings. I happen to have two copies so will willingly pass one along.

If you like Dr. Phil, then this is another addition to his great advice.
Wonderful book, just like all of Dr.Phil's books
Life Law #1: You either get it or you don't!
Strategy: Become one of those who gets it.
This book was hard for me to get thru because it challenged me to take a step back and examine my life and myself. In the end, I learned a lot about myself. A good book for anyone who wants to move forward in life and get to the next chapter.
Follow the steps... they work!

Dr Phil for president.
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.
This book is very insightful and interesting!
Cover was printed upside down on book - all pages are printed in correct order but the first page starts after the back cover, then goes in order - cover is upside down and backwards.
common sense put into an easy to understand /read format.
This book is in good condition.

What can I say? I love Dr. Phil. The first of the "Ten Laws of Life" from the back of the book says it all for me. Life Law #1: You either get it, or you don't. Strategy: Become one of those who gets it. I thought I got it, but I learned how to __really__ get it when I read this book. One of my favorites.

Practical and straight forward.
If you love Dr. Phil, then you will love this read. The ten laws of life exmained in detail and with attitude. My favorite is: "we teach people how to treat us".
Dr Phil's ten laws of life.
For someone who doesn't exactly embrace self-help books, I must say that this was helpful (although, admittedly, I say it grudgingly). Phil's brand of homespun, straight-talkin' advice is nothing you haven't heard before, but it is a well laid out and good advice nonetheless.
Book has been read and re-read. No writing or underlining. Good condition.

This book sounds like it would be pretty decent however, I found that a person needs a lot of extra time on their hands to do half this crap.
Outlining of the ten laws of life. An earlier Dr. Phil book.
If you like Dr. Phil. You will enjoy this book.

Grest Best Seller.....
Dr Phil's insights into making your life better. Actually has some very good advice on finding what matters to you and focusing on that in your life. If you like Dr. Phil, you'll love it; it not....
This book can really put you on the right course in life by helping you get your attitude and priorities in order. Dr. Phil always calls a spade a spade and is really great at getting us to see what is our responsibility in situations, what we can control and what we can't.
