Product Description
Product Description
From Dr. Phil, the No.1 New York Times bestselling author of Life Strategies and many others, comes a plan for coping when life throws a curveball. It's one thing to know how to manage the day to day turbulence, but another thing all together when you are faced with a potentially devastating crisis. In Real Life, Dr. Phil explores how to take control in the face of these life-altering events. With his trademark calm, he divides up these events into 7 categories: Loss; Fear; Adaptability (or lack thereof); Physical Health; Mental Health; Addiction;Existential Crisis. Any one of these can feel like the end of the world, but Real Life teaches how untrue that is. Chapter by chapter, Dr. Phil addresses each crisis and offers real guidance for how to get through it. He identifies the different problems that can arise during these trying times -- plans have to change, emotions run high, indecision can strike during a time sensitive problem -- and shows how to navigate each of those issues and more. Real Life teaches how to be prepared for those extreme moments, but it takes you through the process of what to do if you are caught with your guard down.The lessons in this book are difference between coping and mastering a problem, even on the worst day of your life.

This book is very different to any other Dr Phil books that I've read (and I've read all of them) in that he considers specific events that you may or will come across. So it's not another "course" as such, which I was quite surprised when I first looked at it. The section on grief and grieving is particularly moving and helpful; it certainly resonates with a lot of my experiences of grief and would be helpful to read in preparation for what losing someone close could be like - without resorting to the classic 'stages of grief' model. So, it's something that you can refer to in anticipation of major events, rather than sit and work through as his other books have been structured (e.g. Life Strategies, Relationship Rescue, Family First etc).
It's good to read some of his own experiences in amongst the suggestions and advice. Thanks Dr Phil!

I liked this book because, you can just dip in and out of it when you like, it's split up into different sections depending on your problem, the language is very American, but all the same the advice is spot on.

This is an excellent book by New York Times best selling author Dr. Phil McGraw. It's sub-title "Preparing For The 7 Most Challenging Days Of Your Life" says it all. The chapters include: Attitude, Stress, Loss, Fear, Ability or Breakdown, Health, Mental Health, Addiction, & Existential Crisis - The Day You Have Lost Your Purpose & Have No Answer to the Question "Why?" The last chapter is The Next Step. It starts with a quote from Winston Churchill "If you are going through hell, keep going.
We all face some of these challlenges at some point in our life. Or will be facing them in the future. Stress is the #1 reason we suffer from both physical & mental health. Our body's & minds are tested to the maximum just living day to day. Trying to make a living, lossing jobs, take care rebelious kids, addictions & the ultimate loss. Losing a love one to death.
My husband pasted away this year & I found this book to be very helpful in many areas of my life. But especially the part about losing a loved one. A must read for any one going through real tough times in their personal life.
