Dr. Phillip McGraw explores one of the most challenging questions facing us all: When you look in the mirror, who is truly hiding beneath that face? Instead of taking a surface look at the way we live our lives, Dr. Phil demystifies how your self-concept came to be and gives a nuts-and-bolts approach to creating a new plan for living and, in turn, for discovering the real you.

In this groundbreaking work, Dr. Phil challenges you to find your “authentic self” — that person you once were before life took its toll. It is the 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 person people tell you you are.

The incongruence between these two selves is what leads you to feel that your life is incomplete, unbalanced, and altogether more difficult than it really should be. The good news is it no longer needs to be that way. By using the plan set forth in “Self Matters,” Dr. Phil helps you to demystify your selfconcept and learn how to reclaim your authentic self.

Your life has a root core that, once understood, unlocks a powerful force to create your life the way it was meant to be, the way you want and need it to be. Key questions and an amazingly clear “map” are now at your fingertips to begin your journey to “Live by Design.” These are questions that, with the help of this book, you can answer and bring into action-oriented focus:

What are the ten most defining moments of your life?
What are the seven most critical choices you have made to put you on your current path?
Who are the five most pivotal people in your world and how have they shaped you?
