About this title

Review:

Dr. Philip McGraw will be a familiar figure to those who watch Oprah Winfrey. He's the psychotherapist on Oprah's new "Change Your Life" TV show, and the trial scientist who helped Oprah win the Amarillo beef trial in 1997. But even without his TV personality tag, Dr. McGraw is a formidable figure with over 15 years experience in the psycho-legal system, and now head of a litigation firm consisting of a team of experts from various specialisms. As such, Dr. McGraw's Life Strategies is a punchy, no nonsense guide to shaping and reshaping your life.

There are certain Life Laws that are necessary to succeed, McGraw explains, and these include: You create your own experience; Life rewards action; Life is managed, not cured; and We teach people how to treat us. Each chapter, most of them headed by one of the Life Laws, brims with sharp-shooting advice, insightful commentary, case-studies and assignments to test and measure your progress. And be warned, McGraw is a brilliant observer of human foibles. He knows all the excuses we tend to make about bad relationships, unsatisfying jobs and negative behaviour, and he offers the kind of straightforward advice that makes mincemeat of every excuse. So, if you don't intend to make active or dramatic changes in your life, this is not the book for you!--Lucas LoBlack
