The Self Matters Companion : Helping You Create Your Life from the Inside Out

By Phillip C. McGraw

Book Overview

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. Phillip C. 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.

THE SELF MATTERS WORKBOOK

Excellent book Self Matters: Creating Your Life from the Inside Outcomplemented by an excellent workbook in creating personal transformation. Would make an ideal gift for anyone special.

Dr. Phil Books and CD's

I have and read every book Dr. Phil has written and 2 of the CD Book's. There isn't any information that he proects that isn't helpful. This man is down to earth and I watch or tape his show every day. I have improved my own life from listening, reading, and watching him. I can't even imagine him being behind a desk and seeing clients on an hourly basis on his couch sort-of-speak. He is doing what he is suppose to be doing and God Bless him for including his family. He is Mr. Wonderful. It would be my dream to meet him some day.

The self matters companion

This book arrived in about 5 days and in excellent condition. I was a bit leary because of the low price, but it all worked out fine. Thank you.

A COMPANION, not a replacement

As the title plainly states, this is a COMPANION book and is NOT meant to be used as a replacement for the Self Matters book. This helps greatly with organizing the written exercises in the book itself. While, yes, you can just as easily purchase an empty journal, I enjoy the ordered format of this workbook. It kept me more inclined to do the exercises as they are asked of you, rather than reading the whole book first as I had done the first time, I just skipped over the exercises altogether. If you're not as disciplined, having this workbook encourages you to work out and actually DO the written work, which is a vital step in reaping the benefits of Self Matters. I highly recommend it.

This Book Made Me A Published Author!

I can honestly say that this book changed my life. I followed the exercises and within 4 months, I had tripled my authenticity score. This book, and it's journal companion, helped me set goals and achieve them. "Waiting for You: An Heirloom Adoption Journal for My Future Child" is now my dream come true. THANK YOU DR. PHIL! :)
