If you have read Life Strategies or have completed any of the exercses in the Life Strategies Workbook, then you are already on your way to self-discovery. Both are excellent self-help tools and highly recommended. However, this journal is not like the original book or the companion workbook and readers could be very disappointed. There is nothing contained in this journal that would lead one to self-discovery other than what the reader actually chooses to write. You are not prompted for ideas, thoughts or feelings but left to your own resources to express your own thoughts. There are a variety of basic journals on the market, many for more outstanding than this one, so invest your money in the Life Strategies book and the Life Strategies Workbook and pass on the Self-Discovery Journal.

Each page in this journal is in the same format. It has a one sentence epigram from Life Strategies at the top. You then get blue lines across the rest of the page, where you can fill in your ideas on this topic.

Compared to either Life Strategies or The Life Strategies Workbook, this journal is not very helpful at all.

If you have read Life Strategies, you can simply write down your ideas about the key elements in that book on your own paper.

If you want to do exercises, The Life Strategies Workbook is superb and I highly recommend it.

Skip this journal!

Do you learn best by thinking, writing, talking, doing, or some combination of the above? Whatever the best method is, use that method to apply Life Strategies to improving your life.

This journal will help you to map out and record your quest for self-discovery and enlightenment. The lay out is great and you will find all of the extra tools and hints are useful and somewhat inspiring. Dr. McGraw has done it again! I also like to use this journal to record my personal growth from a book by Matt Pasquinilli called "The Child Whisperer." Even though the book is written with parents and teachers in mind, the ideas are simple to understand and apply to any person of any age.

Great book!! I'm really enjoying the help it's giving me. Bought it used and it was in perfect condition!!! Thank you

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.

Repeats itself quite a bit. If you can get it cheap enough, then I reccomend it. If not, skip it.

I was dissappointed in this journal, because it seemed like more of a workbook. I was expecting more of a self help book, not a book which I had to write my own opinions. I bought this book to hear the opinions of another person, that is not what I recieved. I do not think that is helpful, but if you like to do exercises, go ahead and try it.
