This CD was delivered to me in just one day via Amazon Prime Shipping (free shipping). I really like the CD and I listen to it in my car whenever I want to. I like how it summarizes all that Anthony Robbins talks about. I'm also reading a book called Unlimited Power from him, and he talks about some points that he makes in the book on this CD as well. This is a good inspirational CD and motivates you to take control of your life, realize your true worth, and guides you in the steps you should do to get there.

Editorial Review:

What if you could see around the corners of your life? Wouldn't it help to know what 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?

In Real Life: Preparing for the 7 Most 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.

Editorial Review:

Meet Fred.

In his powerful new book THE FRED FACTOR, motivational speaker Mark Sanborn recounts the true story of Fred, the mail carrier who passionately loves his job and who genuinely cares about the people he serves. Because of that, he is constantly going the extra mile handling the mail – and sometimes watching over the houses – of the people on his route, treating everyone he meets as a friend. Where others might see delivering mail as monotonous drudgery, Fred sees an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of those he serves.

We’ve all encountered people like Fred in our lives. In THE FRED FACTOR, Mark Sanborn illuminates the simple steps each of us can take to transform our own lives from the ordinary – into the extraordinary. Sanborn, through stories about Fred and others like him, reveals the four basic principles that will help us bring fresh energy and creativity to our life and work: how to make a real difference everyday, how to become more successful by building strong relationships, how to create real value for others without spending a penny, and how to constantly reinvent yourself.

By following these principles, and by learning from and teaching other “Freds,” you, too, can excel in your career and make your life extraodinary. As Mark Sanborn makes clear, each of us has the potential be a Fred.THE FRED FACTOR shows you how.

Do What You Are 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

The book was recommended to me by an executive seach company. I think it is a valuable tool in trying to sift through careers you might be best suited for. Another book, Career Match, is also very good.

(Partially) Flawed Framework? 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 2 people found this review helpful.

There is a very important section on what's called your Hierarchy of Functions that I believe is flawed. It works for Extrovert types (Exxx), but not for Introvert types (Ixxx). So if you're E, the book is fantastic. But if you're I, things go a little (not totally) haywire. You'll be able to tell because the description of your tendencies will be close, but a little off, and recommended career options won't seem to quite resonate with you. So you're left having to puzzle things out more on your own. Below is the flaw, if I'm not mistaken (a big if).

First, some background info: Your personality type determines your Hierarchy of Functions. A function is a type-preference, the relevant ones being S/N (concerning information intake) and T/F (concerning decision criteria). Your Hierarchy is some combination of these four functions. The hierarchy of functions is STATED to be in this order:
(1) Dominant (greatest strength)
(2) Auxiliary (secondary strength)
(3) Third (secondary weakness, the converse of Auxiliary)
(4) Fourth (greatest weakness, the converse of Dominant).
For example, if your personality type is ESFJ, then your Hierarchy is FSNT. If your personality type is ENTP, your Hierarchy is NTSF.

(Sidebar: From what I gather, your dominant function is determined by the last letter in your personality type (J/P) which basically concerns how you confront uncertainty, ambiguity, unknowns. For J's, dominant function is their decision criteria preference (T/F). For P's, dominant function is their information intake preference (S/N). This makes sense since J's like to resolve questions quickly and decisively, and have things orderly, so style of decision making is paramount for them. P's like to ruminate and decide only provisionally, leaving open options and possibilities, so style of information gathering is paramount for them.)

Complication: In addition to the above, everyone has what you might call a Public function and a Private function. Think of your public function as what you like to do with other people, how you like to interact with them, and (especially) what you like to talk with them about. Your Private function is what you like to think about or do when you're solo, what you tend to keep to yourself unless you've really thought things through and really know well the person you're communicating with. Now, Extroverts like to use their dominant function in public, and they prefer to keep their auxiliary function private. By contrast, Introverts like to keep their dominant function in the solo realm, and prefer using their auxiliary function in public.

Recall: The Hierarchy given in the book is a list of functions in this STATED order:
Dominant, Auxiliary, converse of Auxiliary, converse of Dominant.

However--and this is the flaw--the ACTUAL order they're listed in goes like this:
Public, Private, converse of Private, converse of Public.

What's the impact? For extroverts, this is no problem, since their dominant function is also their public function, and their auxiliary function is also their private function. So you'll get the same list whether you order functions using the STATED order, or whether you use the unstated ACTUAL order. But for Introverts, dominant and public functions aren't the same, and likewise for auxiliary and private functions. So, for example, if you're INFP, the book says your dominant function is F and you like to keep that private, but really it's your auxiliary function that you like to take public. And it says your auxiliary function is N and you like to take that public, but really that's your dominant function that you like to keep private. Confusion on this point would create problems for you if you went out and tried to interact with others on the basis of N. First off, doing that in public makes you uncomfortable. Second, you wouldn't be interacting with others the way you prefer, on the basis of F.

The upshot is that the Hierarchy the book gives for your personality type should be understood as listing functions in this order: Public, Private, converse Public, converse Private. It actually makes sense to list your public function first in a book about choosing a career, given that a career typically involves getting paid to perform a function for other people.
