Self Matters (Abridged): Creating Your Life from the Inside Out Audiobook

" A bit if a drag in some chapters but very insightful. "

" This book was highly motivating and caused me to really explore a number of areas of my life. I listened to it as an audiobook, but I'd like to go back and read the actual book so that I will retain more of it. "

" If you are willing to put in the time and effort to journal as the book recommends, this book can change your life! "

" Dr. Phil - stick to Oprah's show! "

" Learned nothing new here. "

" Very down to earth good advice. I really liked this book. "

" Surprised to learn that the teachings of Dr. McGraw encompass practices I have utilized with great personal success in my own life, without a guidebook! "

" It is one of Dr. Phils better books. very well written and the companion book is also a must read. "

" I enjoyed this book. Again I like what he has to say; a lot of good ideas and information. "

" A good book if you want a cure for insomnia (with apologies to Mark Twain who said the same thinga bout the Book of Mormon). "

" Dr. Phil has the road map to a healthy mental life. Good for anyone who struggles in marriage and family ... or whatever. "

" This was interesting in that he encourages to go back and view various life events more as an observer and less emotional attachment to various life events. Again. Gained some insight and useful info. "

" He doesn't have much to say, but he certainly says it with authority. I have a new subtitle for the book: "Insights from a Pontificating Blowhard". "

" It is a great book to help you remind yourself that you are important and you need to take care of yourself instead of always focusing on those around you. "

" Another awesome Dr. Phil book...what can I say. This was the first of many of his books that I read. The man has so much to say and people need to listen. "

" Good advice. Lots of exercises to do, but they involve extensive work and I lost interest. "

" No matter how cliche this may be, this book really helped me. "

" Dr. Phil writes just like he talks. Have you heard him talk? Well, his book is like a transcript of what he says everyday on his talk show. It's concepts are simple and nothing new, but are repeated ad nauseum. "

" Excellent book, especially when read in conjunction with the workbook. "

" I did the work in the work book, awesome. "

" I felt the resources in this book were helpful and the excerises were extremely helpful. "

" Not at all what I thought it would be!!! No help to me. "

" Yeah, yeah, I know. But I got it for free, ok? "

" The main point: love yourself before you love others, you can't give away what you don't have. "

" hmmmm, Dr Phill is better on TV. He is really corny in this book, trying to be all "I'm a real good 'ol boy" kind of sense of humor. A lot of swearing and vulgar talk to be in a book about finding your authentic self and being positive. I like self help/motivational books but this did neither. "

" Halfway through this book, I got bored so I didn't finish it. I was not inspired at all by Dr. Phil.....not as I expected to be. "

" Practical "

" LOVE Dr. Phil but this book was a disappointment. "

" I felt the resources in this book were helpful and the excerises were extremely helpful. "

" Dr. Phil - stick to Oprah's show! "

" I enjoyed this book. Again I like what he has to say; a lot of good ideas and information. "

" Dr. Phil is always good enough to read or listen too. Not life changing but at least life improving. "

" This book was a bit difficult for me. I had to do a lot of thinking, and working to get through it. All in all in helped me realize some areas in my life that I had ignored, it also stirred up a lot of things in my life. "

" I did the work in the work book, awesome. "

" It is a great book to help you remind yourself that you are important and you need to take care of yourself instead of always focusing on those around you. "

" I love books where I can "analyze my life to death" as my husband likes to put it. This is a great one for that. "

" Halfway through this book, I got bored so I didn't finish it. I was not inspired at all by Dr. Phil.....not as I expected to be. "

" Also more drama than I needed. "

" Audio. Read by the author. 5 hours of just me and Dr. Phil. Maybe I just wasn't in the mood for therapy, but this just didn't work out that well for me. It was okay as far as self-help goes, but right now I can't really think of one quote or concept that I can draw on to inspire me. "
