Bestselling author of 'Life Strategies' and the Oprah show's resident relationship expert, Phil McGraw, tackles the notions of self-and self-esteem and how our reliance on them as excuses has eroded their role as qualities.
What if there is a You that has never seen the light of day, has never got to say, "Hey, how about me?". What if you really think and feel things you have never allowed to come out, and certainly never acted on? What if you discovered that you had settled for what life has served up instead of what you really wanted and needed?
Now is the time to stop asking "What if?" and truly make things happen. In 'Self Matters', you will learn to do just that. Dr Philip McGraw has changed the lives of millions. With his tell-it-like-it-is philosophy of life, Dr Phil, as he is known to his legions of fans, has put an end to the "everyone's a victim" attitude that has taken hold of our culture. He has forced readers to take a serious look at the excuses they had so long been clinging to as to why they were not enjoying their one chance at living.
Now, Dr Phil takes those life lessons a great leap further and explores one of the most challenging questions facing us all: When you looking in the mirror, who is hiding beneath that face? In one of the most forward-thinking works on self-concept and self-esteem ever published, Dr Phil challenges you to find your "authentic self" - that person you once were before life took its toll.
He shows us how to identify the ten most defining moments in our lives, the seven most critical choices that have put us on our current path and the five most pivotal people in our world and in doing so, gives us the tools to become our greatest, most fulfilled, most real selves.
