Book Description

September 17, 2002

The #1 New York Times bestselling Self Matters laid the groundwork for a new way of thinking and talking about ourselves. Now, with this unique companion readers can continue their journey toward the "authentic self."


Dr. Phil McGraw grabbed the attention of the entire country with his phenomenal #1 bestseller Self Matters. In that groundbreaking work, Phil's no-nonsense style forced us to ask those questions we had avoided for too long: Who are we really? Where do the fears, insecurities, and doubts come from that prevent us from becoming who we want to be? And most important, how do we let go of those burdens to rediscover our "authentic self"? With more than 1.5 million copies sold, Self Matters is one of the most powerful works available directing us to the answers. With The Self Matters Companion, readers will have the chance to dig deeper into the questions, concepts, and exercises that empowered them in Self Matters.

Self Matters created a new language and a new way of thinking. Now, The Self Matters Companion takes self-awareness to the next level with a variety of interactive exercises, focusing on such issues as:


• Identifying the content of your Personal Truth

• Reprogramming your life pattern so you can create the future you want

• Identifying key areas of conflict between Fictional vs. Authentic living


Much more than a workbook or journal, this guide is a real companion. It provides the perfect tools, for finding the life you deserve.



Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Essentially a complementary workbook to Dr. Phil McGraw's bestseller Self Matters, The Self Matters Companion offers exercises for readers of McGraw's earlier books, allowing them to put their personal issues to the test of McGraw's own commonsense approach to life. It's not quite the same as being a guest on McGraw's nationally syndicated TV talk show, but the chances of personal enrichment are about equal--without the threat of public embarrassment or Dr. Phil's withering gaze. --David Bombeck

5.0 out of 5 stars A COMPANION, not a replacement, March 24, 2003
This review is from: The Self Matters Companion : Helping You Create Your Life from the Inside Out (Hardcover)
As the title plainly states, this is a COMPANION book and is NOT meant to be used as a replacement for the Self Matters book. This helps greatly with organizing the written exercises in the book itself. While, yes, you can just as easily purchase an empty journal, I enjoy the ordered format of this workbook. It kept me more inclined to do the exercises as they are asked of you, rather than reading the whole book first as I had done the first time, I just skipped over the exercises altogether. If you're not as disciplined, having this workbook encourages you to work out and actually DO the written work, which is a vital step in reaping the benefits of Self Matters. I highly recommend it.

1.0 out of 5 stars A Rip-Off, December 16, 2002
By 
Jason Chua (singapore, singapore Singapore) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Self Matters Companion : Helping You Create Your Life from the Inside Out (Hardcover)
The book of the same title is relatively good, but the companion workbook is a waste of money! It requires you to have the original book to work along with it.
Get the REAL book which also includes the exact SAME exercises that are featured in the companion, with the exception being the companion includes loads of empty space for you to be write in.
So, get the REAL book and get a cheap journal to write in those exercises (instead of this costly, redundant workbook), and leave this companion on the shelf.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Book Made Me A Published Author!, October 24, 2002
This review is from: The Self Matters Companion : Helping You Create Your Life from the Inside Out (Hardcover)
I can honestly say that this book changed my life. I followed the exercises and within 4 months, I had tripled my authenticity score. This book, and it's journal companion, helped me set goals and achieve them. "Waiting for You: An Heirloom Adoption Journal for My Future Child" is now my dream come true. THANK YOU DR. PHIL! :)
