Synopsis
Whether its a bad relationship, a dead-end career, or a harmful habit, Dr. McGraw's 10 Life Laws will empower you to take responsibility for your own actions and break free from self-destructive patterns. Drawing upon more than fifteen years of experience, Dr. McGraw explores each of the 10 Life Laws necessary to succeed, including: People do what works Life rewards action Life is managed, not cured There is freedom in forgiveness Filled with case studies, checklists, and strategies that will work for you, Life Strategies will provide you with the skills you need., Some people spend their lives reacting to what life hands them, while others craft life to fit their goals. Author Phillip C. McGraw, who is a psychologist but describes himself as a strategist, is determined to make sure that his readers are the creators of their lives, not created by their lives. By accepting that you are personally accountable for every element of your life, McGraw says, you can erase the negative "epidemic behaviors" (found in all of American society: denial, false assumptions, inertia, deceptive masking) in your life and reach your goals.Written in a tough-love, sometimes cantankerous tone, this self-help book is not for those looking to explore their inner child or visualize away negative energy. No, this is pull-yourself-up-by-the-bootstraps advice from someone who's done just that. McGraw opens with a scene describing how he helped Oprah Winfrey survive--and win--the 1998 "Mad Cow" lawsuit in Texas, when she was having difficulty coping with the reality of what was happening to her. He helped her face the facts about the lawsuit, after which she was better able to participate in crafting a strategy to win it. McGraw first forces you to take a good hard look at who you are by dissecting your personality. It may be painful to realize that you fall into the "Porcupine" or "Perfecto" or any of the other personality types McGraw delineates, but here it's true that there's no gain without pain, because (Life Law No. 4) "You Can't Change What You Don't Acknowledge." He then describes in depth all 10 "Life Laws"--the rules by which the world plays--that he learned the hard way. Laws such as "You Either Get It, or You Don't," "Life Is Managed; It Is Not Cured," and "You Have to Name It to Claim It" make up the bulk of the book and McGraw's realist philosophy. If you learn and abide by the Life Laws and go on to create a Life Strategy, McGraw claims you will not only know yourself better and eliminate negative behaviors, you will also know how to reach any goal you set for yourself. --Stefanie Durbin, n this #1 national bestseller, Dr. Phil McGraw presents 10 Life Laws geared toward helping readers take responsibility for their own actions and break free from self-destructive habits and situations. Whether it's a bad relationship, a dead-end career, or a harmful habit, Dr. McGraw shows readers how to confront their problems, identify the causes, and start working toward permanent solutions.

I grew up with the smell of books as a fond friend. Reading pages that took me to far away lands with friends who stood by me when I needed them most. I’m hoping this page can help me reach a broader ...

    Very helpful

    I bought this book for a coworker that was going through things, but seemed open to make changes to make things better. I knew the book was good, because it helped me take steps to get me through difficulties about 15 yrs ago
