identifying and working with these key elements is at the heart of dr. Philip C. mcgraw’s latest work, self matter, and soon they’ll be at the heart of their own new work: you. Through his books, McGraw has changed the lives of millions. Introducing his philosophy of practical living and telling it like it is to the world, dr. Phil, as he is known to his legions of fans, has put an end to the “everyone is a victim” attitude that had taken over our culture. Published in more than twenty-five countries, and with millions of books sold, his two number one bestsellers, Life Strategies and Relationship Rescue, forced readers to take a serious look at the excuses they had clung to for so long as to why they weren’t happy, unsuccessful, and not enjoying their only chance at life. now, dr. Phil takes those lessons one big step further and explores one of the most challenging questions we all face: when you look in the mirror, who is really hiding under that face? Rather than take a cursory look at the way we live our lives, Dr. Phil demystifies how your self-concept came to be and provides a practical approach to creating a new life plan and, in turn, discovering your true self. In this groundbreaking work, Dr. Phil challenges you to find your “authentic self”, that person you once were before life took its toll. it is you at your greatest, fullest, and most real. it’s the person you’ve always wanted to be, but were too distracted, busy, or afraid to be. instead, he has created a “dummy self”, assuming the identity of who he thinks he is supposed to be, the person people tell him he is. the incongruity between these two selves is what leads you to feel that your life is incomplete, unbalanced, and altogether more difficult than it really should be. The good news is that it doesn’t have to be that way anymore. by using the plan laid out in own affairs, dr. phil helps you demystify your self-concept and learn to reclaim your authentic self. By evaluating your life on the facts alone, you can learn to think beyond the excuses and fears that have masked the person you’ve always wanted to be. self matter is one of the most progressive works ever published on self-concept and self-esteem. for the first time, an author tells us what it’s like and, in the process, teaches us all how to live the life we’ve always wanted but prevented ourselves from living. We only get one chance in this world, and now, dr. phil shows how to make the most of it.
