Journal Entry 1 by gnissorckoob from Miami, Florida USA on Saturday, April 21, 2007

MY terrific friend gave me two big boxex of audiobooks, among them some self-helps like this. I am always good for a self-help book. Usually there is at least one valuable reminder or new idea I can really use.

Just finished listening to this. I listen to audios in the car. This one is really designed to be more a therapy tape, with stopping to write an extensive journal, which I didn't take the time to do.

It was my first "Dr. Phil." I like his enthusiastic style, but sometimes I felt like asking him to go faster on his examples, etc. Also, he criticized jargon as brainiac psychobabble and then used a lot of jargon him self. Finally, he used himself as an example of a person with a problem, when in fact his life seems to have been storybook.

In spite of my complaints, I did think it was a worthwhile book. One thing In liked was his simple test for whether a belief or course of action is right for you: (my paraphrase below)

1. Is it authentic for you?
2. Is it in your best interest?
3. Does it protect your health?
4. Does it get you where you want to go?

More on how to test whether a belief is acccurate: Write it down along with all possible competing beliefs, then test each one for authenticity.
