I am reading Self Matters (that is, when I can get it away from my hubby). I am not finished with the book...but, I am anxious to know...does he ever address the solution? It seems he has gone on forever describing the problems we have and they are sooooo true. I am impatient to know if by the end of the book you feel he addressed what you wanted to discover.

You may be disappointed. [img]images/icons/frown.gif" border="0[/img] <p>The book is not very productive, in my opinion, for those of us going through such significant life issues as infidelity, seperation, and/or divorce.<p>These serious life issues make it difficult to do the work in the book with a clear mind. When you are thinking about nothing else 24 hours a day except for the infidelity, you really cannot give the book the degree of focus that you should.<p>Lastly, the book does not have a good conclusion. It does not give you a good action plan on what to do. You do all this analizing then are not given much direction.

That is EXACTLY what I was afraid of...too much figuring out the problem...and too little solution resolution. I find that so many books do that. They can describe the problem exactly...and go into great detail..but they don't provide good solutions like they "say" they will.

The more I read of Doc Phil's the more disappointed I am. <p>I think he had a GREAT thing going before he became the Oprah guru, but he's so over-marketed and punching out too many books to be of much use.<p>I always really liked him, especially his no-nonsense approach to cheaters... but lately I just get the feeling he's blah-blah-blahing the same ol', same ol', but in a different package.
