Product Description

Your life has a root core that, once understood, unlocks a powerful force to create the life 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 tells us all how to make the most of it.

I am a big collector of self help books but this one has probably influenced me more than any other.
Dr Phil is so straight to the point, without any jargon to confuse you. He gives you good examples from his own life and gives you good advice to complete the exercises. Once you have completed the exercises you will have a clear focus of who you are and why you think the way you do.
This book is simply brilliant, straight forward, easy to read and incredibly useful so if you feel you need to get your life together, this the best place to start

At the risk of sounding like one of those gushy 'oh!, it saved my life'-types, I really can't rate this book highly enough. By reading it and working through the self-analysis exercises it contains, I managed to find events in my past that have shaped my life up to the present day.

The book works by making you consider the impact of those events and then deal with the negative element of them.

If you feel that your life is a bit off the rails, I hope you get some of the benefits I have experienced should you choose to get this book.

Self Matters 28 Feb 2011
By Scarlet
Format:Paperback
I have only started this book and already I am finding amazing things on each page, I am already highlighting lots on my kindle ipad app and cannot believe i am highlighting so much so soon, it really is amazing from the start, i am eager to complete this book because I am literally that person in the book that Dr. Phil wants to help so much. I will review again when I have finished but just to say at this stage, it sure is a fabulous gift to yourself to buy this book.

This book can easily be rated as very interesting, it introduces you in a new point of view of your life situation.

Worked for me
Dr Phil writes like he talks and the book makes a good read even if you don't have the massive amount of time spare that you would need if you were to do all the exercises. Read more
