Dr. Phil Getting Real

Dr. Phil Getting Real: Lessons in Life, Marriage, and Family

In his trademark "tell-it-like-it-is" style, Dr. Phil McGraw presents an enlightening and entertaining workshop on how to "get real" - in relationships and in life. He explains how to live by design, as opposed to living reactively, and urges you to "step out of the comfort zone" by evaluating everything in your life based on whether it's working or not.

 
 
  • Tape 1: On this tape, Dr. Phil tackles the first Law of Life - "you either get it or you don't" - as a way to show how choices made in your behavior lead to specific consequences.
  • Tape 2: Dr. Phil effectively drives home the point that your relationship with yourself should be the most important one in your life, and shows how important it is to pay attention to your internal dialogue and test the assumptions that you believe are facts.
  • Tape 3: Dr. Phil shares his "personal relationship values," which are tips for helping you make your relationships as positive and mutually fulfilling as they can be. He also urges you to give up on being a "right-fighter" and actually communicate with and listen to your partner.
  • Tape 4: According to Dr. Phil, you can "behave your way to success." He points out that intimacy has very little to do with physical acts - it's based on making your own needs known, risking vulnerability, and working to discover and meet the needs of your partner.

Life Strategies: Doing What Works, Doing What Matters

Life Strategies: Doing What Works, Doing What Matters

In Dr. Phil teaches in his plain-talk, entertaining way to learn to take control of your life, right now.

He 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.

 
 

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.

With Life Strategies, Dr. McGraw tells you how to strategically control your life, rather than continue as a frustrated passenger.

Self Matters

Self Matters: Creating Your Life From the Inside Out

  • Your life has a root core that, once understood, unlocks a powerful force to create the life the way you want. Key questions and an amazingly clear "map" are now at your fingertips so you can "Live by Design."
 
 

In this groundbreaking work, Dr. Phil challenges you to find your "authentic self" -- that person you have always wanted to be, but were too distracted, busy, or scared to become. Instead, you have created a "fictional self" -- taking on the identity of who you believe you are supposed be. The incongruence between these two selves is what leads you to feel that your life is incomplete, unbalanced, and more difficult than it should be.

In Self Matters, Dr. Phil helps you to demystify your self-concept, and learn how to reclaim your authentic self. You can learn to think beyond the excuses and fears that have masked the person you want to be. By facing the cards life has dealt you, you can relearn how to best react to them.

Self Matters is one of the most forward-thinking works on self-concept and self-esteem ever published. We get only one chance in this world. Dr. Phil shows all how to make the most of it.

KEY ELEMENTS TO IDENTIFY AND BRING INTO ACTION ORIENTED FOCUS INCLUDE:

  • What are the ten most defining moments of your life?
  • What are the seven most critical choices you have made to put you on your current path?
  • Who are the five most pivotal people in your world and how have they shaped you?

Finding Your Passion

Finding Your Passion

Life makeover coach Cheryl Richardson, who has been featured frequently on Oprah, brings her strategies for finding passion to this exciting and inspiring audio program.

Using an upbeat yet down-to-earth approach, Cheryl stresses that passion is a strong response to any internal experience in life.

 
 

Passion is not a reaction to an external event, so it should not be limited to career goals. After all, passionate interests come in all shapes and sizes.

But how can you find your passion if you don't have the first clue about where to start? In these tapes, Cheryl gives hands-on exercises to help you reconnect with yourself, to help you find out what things get you excited. What books, movies, or people do you find yourself drawn to? What personal challenges have you overcome? What stimulates you? What drives you nuts? These questions will start you on the "passion path of development." Cheryl guides you along this path, from Stage 1 (self-care) to Stage 8 (action).

She will definitely motivate you to live a life that's authentic for you. She will inspire you to face your fears, to be open to trying new things, and to take action when the universe opens a door of opportunity for you. Because, as Cheryl points out, the bottom line is that "the world needs what you have to offer. Don't rob us of that."

The Myth of Laziness

The Myth of Laziness: America's Top Learning Expert Shows How Kids--And Parents--Can Become More Productive

How many times have you heard a teacher say that your child has tremendous potential "if only he'd just apply himself" or "if only sh'd work just a little harder"?

 
 

How often have you said the same thing to your son or daughter? Or perhaps you have a coworker who can't seem to finish anything; his reports are never in on time, or her projects are always behind the schedule.

No matter what excuses you hear, you suspect that laziness is the real reason for your colleague's low productivity.

  • Almost no one is actually lazy, says Dr. Mel Levine, author of the #1 national bestseller A Mind at a Time. Low productivity -- whether in school or on the job -- is almost always caused by a genuine problem, a neurodevelopmental dysfunction. despite this, untold number of people have been stigmatized by unfair accusations of laziness, many of them adults who still carry emotional scars from their school days.

In The Myth of Laziness Dr. Levine shows how we can spot the neurodevelopmental dysfunctions that may cause "output failure," as he calls it, whether in school or in the workplace. Dr. Levine identifies seven forms of dysfunctions that obstruct output.

Drawning on his years of clinical experience he describes eight people -- children, adolescents, and adults -- he has worked with who exhibited one or another of these problems. He shows how identifying the problem can make all the difference, leading to a course of corrective action rather than to accusations of laziness and moral failure.

With its practical advice and its compassionate tone, The Myth of Laziness shows parents how to nurture their child strengths and improve their classroom productivity. Most important, it shows parents how correcting these problems in childhood will help children live a fulfilling and productive adult life
