Creating Your Life from the Inside Out

If you don't know what happened, exactly, to turn you into the confused, cynical, unmotivated sad-sack you've become, then read this book. Dr ‘how's that workin' for ya?' Phil takes you through a range of written exercises that explore your inner and outer selves. This requires intense self-scrutiny that proves worthwhile when, at the end, you understand and appreciate yourself better.

He guides you through this often painful journey by training you to question alleged self-truths, while ramping up your self-esteem in the process. There's plenty of psychological jargon but he explains everything carefully. It's a substantial book requiring a healthy slab of commitment to complete.

If you need to understand what makes you tick (or sick), this is a good place to start. It may not change your life immediately, but change on the inside always manifests on the outside - give it a shot.
