REAL LIFE Preparing for the 7 Most Challenging Days of Your Life

Dr. Phil's familiar wisdom gets new life in this arresting primer on how to be ready for seven specific challenges of living. Advice such as be responsible, think honestly, and take independent action sounds more achievable when linked to concrete problems many of us can expect to face. Casting these problems as unwanted intruders, the writing stirs up combative energy that people can use to start taking control of their lives. Phil McGraw shares the reading with two talented narrators whose performances perfectly mirror the author's pacing as well as his ever-present belief that we have what it takes to get our lives in order. The belief of all three narrators in the advice they deliver makes this a ten-hour wake-up call you'll want to hear again and again. T.W. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2009]
