About this listen

Your life has a root core that, once understood, unlocks a powerful force to create the life you want. Key questions and an amazingly clear "map" are now at your fingertips so you can "live by design".

In this groundbreaking work, Dr. Phil challenges you to find your "authentic self": that person you have always wanted to be, but were too distracted, busy, or scared to become. Instead, you have created a "fictional self", taking on the identity of who you believe you are supposed be. The incongruence between these two selves is what leads you to feel that your life is incomplete, unbalanced, and more difficult than it should be.

In Self Matters, Dr. Phil helps you to demystify your self-concept and learn how to reclaim your authentic self. You can learn to think beyond the excuses and fears that have masked the person you want to be. By facing the cards life has dealt you, you can relearn how to best react to them.

Self Matters is one of the most forward-thinking works on self-concept and self-esteem ever published. We get only one chance in this world. Dr. Phil tells us all how to make the most of it.

Dr. Phil Nails it With This One!

This book will do so much to help you see that the Self Matters! Amazing in context and presentation! There is a reason this man is a NYT best selling author!
I used this book and the companion workbook to change my perspective on how I was living and wanted to live my life!
But folks, you have to listen, be willing to think and try new ideas! You have to be honest with yourself and give Dr. Phil's wisdom a chance!
The worst that can happen, you don't change. But the thing that actually will happen is you build an understanding of your self and the confidence you need to know that you matter!

Candid and straightforward

Dr Phil is and has always been very straightforward with his audience. Self
Matters does not disappoint. Want to get over that nagging inferiority complex? Got
any traumatic wounds from the past keeping you from being your best? This audio book lays out the steps needed to resolve these problems ,all while treating yourself with dignity and respect. This guy is brilliant and humorous. He includes his own personal
journey to personal fulfillment. I cried on
some parts, howled with laughter on other parts. Give it a listen for yourself.
