If you are:
capable of more than you are accomplishing;
frustrated that you are not making more money;
Stuck in a rut and not getting what you want;
bored with yourself;

trudging, zombie-like, through an unchallenging career;
just "going through the motions" of your life;
living in a comfort zone that yields too little challenge;
living a lonely existence with little hope for change;
then hold on as Dr. Phillip McGraw takes you on a guided tour of your life to honestly label the problems and causes that control your destiny.
Life Strategies will give you the most honest explanation of your life and how you got where you are that has ever been published.

About the Author
Dr. Phil McGraw is a life strategist and host of the nationally syndicated series, Dr. Phil. He is also known as the human behavior expert from The Oprah Winfrey Show. With 25 years of experience in psychology and human function-ing, Dr. Phil deals with real issues in his signature “tell-it-like-it-is” style. He is the author of many New York Times best-sellers.
Dr. Phil grew up in Oklahoma and Texas and was awarded a football scholar-ship to the University of Tulsa. He then finished his degree at Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls, Texas. Later, Dr. Phil earned his doctorate in psychology at the University of North Texas and in 1979, opened a practice with his father, who got his psychology degree at the age of 40.
After years of practicing, Dr. Phil realized that traditional therapy was not his calling. In 1989, he co-founded Courtroom Sciences, Inc. (CSI), a company that assists the legal profession by conducting mock trials, behavioral analysis, jury selection, and mediation. Dr. Phil met Oprah Winfrey when she hired CSI to help with her case against cattlemen who claimed she defamed the beef industry on one of her shows.
