Synopsis: Famous for helping people get real" about relationship (and many other) issues, Phillip C. McGraw, Ph.D., Oprah Winfrey contemporary and famed "Dr. Phil" of TV fame, as well as a psychologist with over 30 years of experience, explores ways that couples can turn their partnerships into success stories. An epiphany while counseling a dysfunctional couple led McGraw to rethink and revamp his counseling style and move away from conventional wisdom on couple therapy. Based on his observations of thousands of real couples (rather than his considerable book-learning), this program offers straight talk that will enable readers to take charge of their relationships, their futures, and their lives. McGraw offers a seven-step method for individual and joint self-exploration, learning together, and working toward the optimum relationship of which so many have dreamed. He offers plenty of hard work, including questionnaires, profiles, and surveys, before presenting a specific two-week curriculum for growing closer. Couples with a desire to restore their intimacy, or avoid losing it in the first place, will find a goldmine of help and information in this refreshing, no-nonsense guide. Amazon Review: As a follow-up to his bestselling book, Life Strategies, Oprah acolyte Phillip C. McGraw, Ph.D., moves from aiding the aimless individual to coaching the disconnected couple. McGraw has distilled his more than two decades of counseling experience into a seven-step strategy he calls 'Relationship Rescue.' 'I'm prepared to kick a hole in the wall of the pain-ridden, unhappy maze you've gotten yourself into, and provide you clear access to action-oriented answers and instructions on what you must do to have what you want' says Dr. Phil. His aim is to expose and eliminate the saboteurs that cause senseless damage to already-fragile marriages, and, like an emotional root canal, to replace them with values he says provide positive results. If you follow Dr. Phil's strategy, he will lead you on a precise journey to uncover your heart and then share it with your partner as part of taking the 'risk of intimacy.' Dr. Phil leads you to reconnect with your core in the first five steps of his seven-step strategy. By no means a quick fix, there are in-depth and rigorous questionnaires, surveys, tests, and profiles that require a 'brutally candid' mindset, with such fill-in-the-blanks as List five things that today would make you fall out of love with your partner. With this internal work accomplished, you'll then move on to reconnecting with your partner during a two-week, half-hour-a-day short course. As a 'dyad,' you and your loved one take turns giving monologues on topics such as 'The most positive thing I took away from my mother and father's relationship was.' Once the "econnection has been established, Dr. Phil says the work shifts to a management role, as relationships are always a work in progress. Dr. Phil humorously refers to his own marriage throughout the book, sharing his mishaps and victories in learning to accept and enjoy what he sees as fundamental but complementary differences between men and women. From Publishers Weekly: Oprah's relationship expert and the author of the hugely popular Life Strategies, McGraw offers a challenge to readers in troubled marriages. (Though he refers to 'relationships,' his comments about the roles of men and women make it obvious that McGraw has mostly traditional marriages in mind.) With typical frankness, the Dallas psychologist declares that the underlying reason that 'your relationship is in trouble [is] because you set it up that way.' Traditional relationship counseling doesn't work, McGraw says, so he dares readers to follow his multistep plan for reconnecting, which de.

Fine in fine dust jacket, not price clipped, in protective mylar cover. SIGNED COPY, signature only, by the author on the title page. "Boston lawyer Brady Coyne, last seen in The Snake Eater, offers to put up his old friend, TV-show environmentalist and sportsman Walt Kinnick, for the night, little suspecting he'll be drawn into a fast-paced mystery surrounding an emotional disagreement over gun control. Kinnick, an avid hunter, has come to town at the behest of Gene McNiff, leader of Second Amendment For Ever (SAFE), to testify against assault-weapon control. McNiff declares Kinnick "dead meat" when he unexpectedly supports the bill. Kinnick moves on to his remote Massachusetts cabin, where he receives a telephone death threat, after which he's shot and seriously injured during a stroll in the woods, an event that the local sheriff dismisses as a hunting accident. Coyne learns that his friend has earned first place on SAFE's published enemy list-on which he himself is named seventh. With some help from Alexandria Shaw, a persistent and personable reporter, Coyne winds his way toward a disturbing finale in his fine 14th adventure. Tapply expertly delivers a straightforward mystery that resists simplifying the issue it addresses." -- Publishers Weekly. Signed by Author. Book.

"Not everyone has Clark Gable and Loretta Young as their parents but all of us in the human condition are 'victims of victims' and Judy Lewis's search for wholeness is dramatic, powerful, and inspiring." - Maria Cooper Janis. "Judy Lewis was in her thirties before she discovered what was common knowledge among the Hollywood elite - that she was the daughter of Clark Gable and Loretta Young. The two had fallen in love while on location filming Call of the Wild - but Gable was a married man and, according to Young's Catholic beliefs and Hollywood's strict moral code, he was off limits. On the brink of mega-stardom herself and terrified that her romance with Gable would ruin their careers, Young gave birth to Judy in secret - later "adopting" her from the orphanage to which she had been sent as an infant. While growing up, Judy, who met "Mr. Gable" once, was never told that he was her father. Set against the backgrop of Hollywood in its heyay, Uncommon Knowledge depicts a world where home movies were filmed by studio cameramen, home was a thirty-eight-room house on a five-hundred-acre estate in the heart of Beverly Hills, friends were the children of Bing Crosby or Joan Bennett, and getting off a train could be delayed by a mob of fans clamoring to get your mother's autograph. But it is also the story of a lonely little girl who felt she didn't belong anywhere, and who comforted herself by sitting in a dressing room full of her mother's clothes. Hungry for her mother's attention, Judy felt even moe excluded after Young's marriage to advertising executive Tom Lewis - a martinet who once said to her two half-brothers, "Judy's adopted. She's not part of our family." Loretta Young was a controilling woman who had little time for the daughter whom she later described as "a mortal sin" - a child who was a reminder of the one thing she had been unable to control. To this day she has never publicly acknowledged her daughter as her own. Judy didn't hear the truth about her parents until her own marriage, when her husband told her what Hollywood have been whispering about for years. And, for years, Loretta Young denied it - until Judy forced an admission that ultimately left the connection betwen mother and daughter in tatters. Only then was Judy able to claim her father: a man she would never know, except on the movie screen. Uncommon Knowledge joins Haywire and Mommie Dearest as a fascinating behind-the-scenes memoir of Hollywood in its golden days. A devastating character portrait, it is an engrossing narrative of glamour and pathos, controlling ambition and unfulfilled longing, loneliness and resolution. It is also the account of a journey of self-discovery that was difficult but ultimately triumphant. Judy Lewis went on to her own success." - from the jacket flaps. "Judy Lewis's genealogy, the love child of two famous film stars, was familiar to all who knew her, but spoken of by no one.Her book is brave and compelling, revealing the tragic consequences of family secrets, held secret too long." - Dominick Dunne, author. "Searching for the authentic self is difficult enough when you have all the information, but having only half-truths and secrets to deal with makes wht Judy has accomplished miraculous." - Christina Crawford, author of Mommie Dearest. "Judy's way of handling her particular tragedy - with love and acceptance and kindness - enabled her to win in the end." - Gary Crosby, author. "Judy's . parents lived in a world where there were no easy choices.they did the best they could: a dark, intriguing story." - Jill Robinson, author of Perdido.
