Real Life

Preparing for the 7 Most Challenging Days of Your Life

By: Phil McGraw

Narrated by: Phil McGraw

The #1 New York Times bestselling advice guru, Dr. Phil McGraw, presents a practical and inspiring guide to overcoming life’s seven biggest crises.

Sooner or later, every adult faces a potentially devastating situation. Dealing with the stress of a traumatic event—whether it’s the loss of a loved one or a sudden illness—requires skills and insights very different to those used to manage day-to-day turbulence. And no author is as equipped as Dr. Phil to guide readers in navigating their most trying moments.

With his trademark calm and prescriptive approach, Dr. Phil divides these life-altering events into seven categories—including loss, fear, adaptability (or lack thereof), physical and mental health—and then teaches readers how to take control in each case. He identifies the different problems that can arise during crisis, from forced changes in plans to fraught emotions to indecision, and shows how to overcome them, step by step.

Real Life offers advice both on preparing for extreme moments and for dealing with those situations that occur with absolutely no warning. Sensible yet reassuring, it’s filled with lessons, anecdotes, and thoughtful advice that will make the difference between coping with and conquering a problem, even on life’s very worst days.©2008 Dr. Phil McGraw; (P)2008 Simon Simon & Schuster Audio

loved it

I wish I could have read this before I went through 6 of the 7 things in life. very insightful very thought-provoking and very true

Real life by Dr. Phil.

I love dr. Phil! It's the only show I watch every day. I was disappointed with the book though, it was kind of a downer. He's usually so much fun and has such a good outlook on life. I thought I would pick up this book and feel better after reading it but it was kind of the opposite

So helpful

There you have it. Probably the most important book when you. Just can't go on . It will wake you up and help with what you are feeling and that it's ok. Having a plan can make no light at the end of the dark tunnel have light at the end of the tunnel. Do what you have to do to. Get Well. Get Happy. Get Living. My next step Life Coad and Self Matters.
