Life Strategies (Abridged): Doing What Works Doing What Matters Audiobook

" A lot of people hate the guy, I think he's a little over the top on his show, but this book has helped me in the past when I need to get out of my head. "

" A review of the audio book edition: A good book that lets you think results/actions instead of actions/results by putting the outcome in mind first before embarking on a course of actions and hence how to lead your life instead of letting life lead you. "

" I feel very sorry for people that buy books like this and read this one for my mom who sent it to me. Having a guy describe common sense to you as a life lesson like not talking back to cops, understanding that life is not fair, and that things will change in an instant is no surprise to me. Nor should it be to anyone that does not live a sheltered life where they have people do stuff for them. Phil talks on others stories from afar that he is close to as if examining people's ability to merely not have common sense or have it is an extremely deep and insightful skill. Most of what he talked about in this book I knew about when I was 14 and I read this when I was 22. I felt like I wasted my time after reading this book. Phil the more I hear him talk strikes me of someone of average IQ posing as a genius that no one has bothered to tell him he is not really that bright on his grand epiphanies on human motivation. "

" A good book if you've sort of lost your way and looking for the right path. Self-testing and writing to help you make decisions are where you want to go and should be. "

" A good book that tells you how to live life in a positive manner "

" Worth reading. (Really!) Makes you think. "

" So far, the life strategies are sound and Dr. Phil's voice is both endearing, comforting and challenging. Phil McGraw reminds me of your uncle encouraging you to do better by making you smile and feel better about yourself. I wish I had an uncle like that. :-) "

" I'm usually not a big self-help book reader, but I really enjoyed this book. I think it is a must read for everyone who seems to be "stuck" in some aspect of their lives. It does make you evaluate your life and how you react and interact with others. "

" Nothing enlightening, that's for sure. "

" again...an epitome of vapid self-help cliches.... "

" Good self-help book. "

" This book is a catalyst for those that may be suffering in anyway in their lives. Dr. Phil knows how to do it. "

" Some books pull you up from the bottom of the barrel. This was that book for me. "

" I thought it had some good information but I think he is overrated. "

" Just read it.I recommnend this book. "

" Very simple book about taking responsibility for one's life and how to become success in all one does in life "

" I also bought the workbook to accompany this book. They make a useful and workable paln. "

" Easy to understand, practical. A great self-help book, if you truly want to change your life. "

" A must read for everyone......... "

" Oh Dr. Phil, do you have anything to talk about other than experiences you've had on TV involving Oprah? Honestly, this book was just really annoying. "

" Couldn't get past the first few pages "

" I really enjoyed this book. A lot of good ideas and fact of the matter answers that make sense. I like that he does the reading of the book he wrote. "

" Ugh. This almost made my abandoned shelf... almost. "

" Blech. I'll stick with Lucy on the Peanuts and her 5 cent answers to life's problems. "

" okay...... "

" Life Strategies is a must-read for people in relationships. Because of this book I started watching the Dr.Phil-show. "

" Sorry mom...I could not get into this one. You know I can't stand Dr. Phil. (Dr. Phil, if you read this, it is nothing against you personally, I just don't like your type.) "

" I thought it had some good information but I think he is overrated. "

" This book I read sometime last year. It had some helpful life strategies. I gleaned a little from it, but can't say I rate it higher than 3. "

" I like Dr. Phyl's voice of common sense, and this book has it. "

" I really enjoyed this book. A lot of good ideas and fact of the matter answers that make sense. I like that he does the reading of the book he wrote. "

" Phil McGraw is fantastic.. Check for yourself! =0) "

" I also bought the workbook to accompany this book. They make a useful and workable paln. "

" Ugh. This almost made my abandoned shelf... almost. "

" again...an epitome of vapid self-help cliches.... "

" A good book that tells you how to live life in a positive manner "

" i really enjoy dr phil and this book is straight to the point, which i also love. "
