Summary

What if you could see around the corners of your life? Wouldn't it help to knowwhat the most challenging days of your life would be like BEFORE they hit?There are certain days in life that stand out because they are among the toughest that you or someone you love will experience. Your quality of life and your experience on the journey through this world are a function of how you handle these days when they arrive. Will you be ready? Will you be strong? Will you survive and be better for it, or will you cave?InReal Life: Preparing for the 7 Most... MORE Challenging Days of Your Life, bestselling author and talk show host Dr. Phil McGraw is here to help you prepare to confront what he believes are the seven most common critical days that you or a loved one are likely to face. This book helps make it possible for you to be there for yourself or to be the calm in the middle of the storm for someone you love when any of these difficult days arrive. Loss-- the day that you or someone you love has their heart shattered by death, divorce, or losing something of great value. Fear-- the day that you realize you have lived your life as a sellout and that every choice you have made up until this point was dictated by other people's expectations, not based on your own goals and desires. Adaptability Breakdown-- the day that the pressures of balancing your responsibilities and needs, along with life's demands, have become way too overwhelming, and you realize that you are in way over your head. Physical Health-- the day that your body or that of someone you love breaks down because of illness, trauma, or disease. Mental Health-- the day that the mind breaks down and betrays you or someone you love. Addiction-- the day that addiction takes over, and you or your loved one look a powerful destroyer in the face and realize that you are not in control. Existential Crisis-- the day that you or someone you love lose the purpose, compass, and connection to meaning in life and have no answer to the question "Why?"Encountering these days can feel like hitting a brick wall. But while they will change your life, they do not have to ruin it. Dr. Phil's step-by-step plan for getting through the worst days is designed to help you feel prepared when it really matters -- in the midst of a crisis. Dr. Phil provides wisdom and resources that will guide you toward a solution that is right for you, showing you how to minimize disruption and maximize the recovery.This book is not just about giving you a crisis-mode plan. It will also show you how to change your life now, before you get into a crisis, so that you are not behind the power curve when any of the seven days hit. You will be able to be a leader to someone you love during their crisis because you will know what to do. Dr. Phil says there are no exceptions: with the right attitude and the right information, every challenging day can be turned into a valuable life experience.

Now in paperback from the #1 New York Times bestselling author and advice guru, Dr. Phil�a practical and inspiring guide to overcoming life�s seven biggest crises.

Sooner or later, every adult faces a potentially devastating situation. Dealing with 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.
