Lists with This Book. Sep 26, Heather Hill rated it it was amazing. I have read a lot of negative reviews about Dr Phil, but let me cut simply to the chase. For me, this book changed my outlook on life. I read it over ten years ago and have reread sections over the years since. It is one of the reasons I have continued to strive to be what I have always felt in my gut I wanted to be Dr Phil's book made me examine my life and past choices and changed me.

By using the exercises and practical techniques in this book. Aug 17, Kara rated it really liked it Recommends it for: Phil's no nonsense tough love approach to life.

He spares none of his regular vim and vigor in this book which really teaches you to assess your life in a different way. I read it a few years ago when I was in between jobs and was having a hard time valuing myself, and this book really helped me get past a lot of life roadblocks I'd placed in my own way.

Oct 26, MJ rated it really liked it. Sometimes I feel like the reason he's bald is because his head's too big for his hair. He speaks as if he's been there and done that, twice if you've done it once. But to be honest, for someone who's not lived in a victim's shoes, he's done an awful lot of mental consideration to ensure he gives a viable answer to some of life's most confounding questions. He allows you to dissect your own life, considering the choices you've made, helping identify why you chose the path you have, and how to fix Sometimes I feel like the reason he's bald is because his head's too big for his hair.

He allows you to dissect your own life, considering the choices you've made, helping identify why you chose the path you have, and how to fix the little errors that have totally annihilated your dreams. One thing I will undoubtedly state about Dr. Phil, is he cuts the crap right out of the problem and gets to the core quick. He may have a big bald head, but there's a lot going on in there you ought to take advantage of. May 27, Husam rated it really liked it.

Reader rated it it was ok. I found this book at a second-hand store for fifty cents. I bought it, thinking "why the hell not? Phil fan, I love his show, and thought this book could only bring positive changes to my life. The basics of this book is that if you are unhappy with yourself, make changes.

If you are unhappy with your relationship, work towards correcting what is making you unhappy or get out of that relationship. If you are unhappy with your job, find a better job or work your way upwards to that job you want.

Now stretch that whole paragraph out into a full-fledge, page, self-help book.

This book was overly lengthy. It was draining and exhausting to read. It was packed with so much beneficial information, great advice, some wonderful self-help tips, etc. But was covered up by a tremendous amount of filler, repetitiveness, unimportant details, and bland information. It was more a choice trying to stay awake and stay interested in this book, then it would be to actually apply it to my life. Don't get my wrong, Dr. If you have the patience which I don't then this book just might be a beneficial read to you!

Dr Phil, that famous TV psychologist, has written another self-help book, this time to assist in developing the self. Having a background in his field myself, I could always understand what he was talking about, but I don't think you need such a grounding to follow him - he translates nearly all of the jargon and most of his broader text into common American idiom. Like his TV cases, this book is short and oversimplifies the work that is really necessary to change oneself for the better and for Dr Phil, that famous TV psychologist, has written another self-help book, this time to assist in developing the self.

Like his TV cases, this book is short and oversimplifies the work that is really necessary to change oneself for the better and for good. Nevertheless, I do applaud his efforts in making the general public, who are mostly naive to such things, more aware of psychological issues and some basic ways to develop their potential.

I also like how he eats a piece of humble pie and acknowledges he's not perfect by explaining some of his own life lessons. This book explains some basic principles, and as such provides an introduction to some of the theories of applied psychology. It might also make a good companion to aid the understanding of somebody going through therapy. However, unlike its author, I wouldn't recommend it for a whole course of self-treatment. Major life changes require real support from real people, not a paperback. Apr 30, Shahine Ardeshir rated it did not like it Shelves: Let me be clear at the very beginning: I did not pick up this book because I felt I personally needed help.

I'm interested in psychology, I like some of Dr Phil's show that I've seen, I find the man basically sensible and honest in his points of view, and I thought it would be interested to read something he had written. Unfortunately, Dr Phil appears to have written this book for pardon my language, but it's true absolute idiots. For people whose average IQ and reading comprehension is far l Let me be clear at the very beginning: For people whose average IQ and reading comprehension is far less than mine or in all probability, yours.

For people who want to be told exactly what to do, and when. As a result, the book was long-winded, repetitive, and boring, and it lost my attention very early on. With full respect to the man, his work and what I'm sure he was trying to achieve when he wrote it, this was not my cup of tea, and I wouldn't suggest you try it either.

Feb 05, Gator rated it liked it. Some good advice but can take him serious because of TV show. Read while I was in the navy and was looking for inspirational books to read and stumbled upon this. Like I said good advice.

Mar 24, Andrea Norton rated it really liked it Shelves: The copy of Self Matters that I have also has the companion workbook included. I could not find the book that I have anywhere, and there is no bar code in it to scan it. It's hardcover and doesn't have a dust jacket, but it looks just like the one pictured here and says, "and companion" on it. Sure makes me curious where this book came from Anyway, on to my review.
