Synopses & Reviews
Since the publication of
Self Matters, I have talked to many of you about the journey to uncovering your Authentic Self. I have heard about the challenges that journey has presented, but also about the joy regained from stripping away the years of fear, failing, and judgment. You cannot effectively communicate what you need if you do not know what those needs are, so find out RIGHT NOW.
The Self Matters Companion was created to bring you further along in that process and is a book that I hope will challenge you to stop living the life that the world had assigned you and to start living by design. Enjoy the journey!
-- DR. PHILLIP C. McGRAW
Synopsis
This invaluable workbook to use helps readers continue on the journey they began with Self Matters toward finding their authentic selves. The Self Matters Companion from Dr. Phil McGraw gives readers a deeper look into the new plan of living as described in the original Self Matters. Filled with exercises, self-tests, and journal-style questions, the Self Matters Companion shows readers how to unlock the powerful force needed to create a fulfilling life. Dr. Phil asks questions such as: What are the ten most defining moments of your life? 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? In discovering their answers, readers will soon find the truth about their own lives, and the keys to a richer existence.
Using the methods of self-discovery discussed in the External and Internal Factors in Self Matters, Dr. Phil demystifies how your self-concept became what it is, and offers a nuts-and-bolts approach to creating a new plan for living--and to discovering the real person reflected in the mirror. This companion is the the perfect tool to help uncover the "authentic self"--the self at its greatest, most fulfilled, and most real. Readers will learn how to start living the lives they deserve.
