Summary: One of the best relationship books!
Review: From the many relationship books out there, this is one that I can really recommend. The author offers powerful strategies to build and rescue relationships. It's easy to understand and step by step, he leads the reader to effective solutions. Very inspiring! Another book that I also highly recommend as it has some very helpful hints regarding relationships is Dietmar Scherf's "I Love Me: Avoiding & Overcoming Depression."

Summary: Relationship Rescue
Review: Dr. Phil does an excellent job in teaching couples the how to's of getting their relationship back on track. I would have given it 5 stars IF it didn't have all the therapist bashing in it. Dr. Phil speaks as if every therapist on the planet is ineffective and unhelpful. Lets get real. There must be a few who do a good job. The hostility toward therapists was very distracting to an otherwise very good read.

Summary: Straight From the Hip
Review: I bought two books this year that have dramatically improved my relationship. The RoMANtic's Guide was one and this was the other. McGraw's "tell it like it is" approach was like a gentle slap on the back of my head and made me realize I was being an idiot and I better rescue my relationship before it sank. The RoMANtic's Guide gave me the practical ideas I needed to put that spark back in the relationship. I owe a lot to these two authors who apparently have a lot more common sense than I do.

Summary: For everyone in any relationship
Review: This book helps everyone understand HIMSELF or HERSELF in a relationship. It is STRAIGHT forward and uncomplicated. What you must be is open to doing the Profiles, honestly. Answer the questions honestly and be open to change. You only cheat yourself if you aren't honest. Dr. Phil has given everyone a chance to open our minds, hearts and ourself...to ourselves. This book is excellent.

Summary: Tells it like it is
Review: This book is a little difficult to get into as he is pretty tough to begin with. He really cuts the "c___" and tells it like it is. NO mollycoddling. But, it is worth it if you can get through the first couple of chapters. If you can't, this won't work for you anyway. Instead of worrying about the why's and whine's he goes to the solutions that he thinks will work. It is not an easy fix type of book at all, but if you have a relationship that needs work and you are willing to work at, this is a great help.

Summary: Another encouraging book by Dr. McGraw
Review: I'm always greatful to find a book with content and substance, and like in his "Life Strategies" book, Dr. McGraw offers excellent advice in his new book. This one is centered around relationships and while he takes the subject serious, the frequent anecdotes are refreshing and even inspiring. Relationships can truly work. I really recommend this book...I'm sure everybody can get something valuable out of it. Another book that is also very helpful on the subject as it teaches that in order to have great relationships, and to love others we must first learn to treasure and love ourselves properly, is Dietmar Scherf's "I Love Me: Avoiding and Overcoming Depression" also available at Amazon.

Summary: TO HEAL YOU MUST ACT....PICK UP AND READ THIS BOOK!
Review: Relationship Rescue is an incredible opportunity for anyone who wants to have a healing in themselves and their relationship! The kicker is that you have to take ACTION to heal and not just sit there counting your woes. Phil takes you step by step through a series of tests and strategies to uncover and clarify your specific areas of difficulty so that you then can focus and address each. This book is not only for the lazy procrastinator nor just for the chronic complaining wimps...this book is for everyone who wants to be the best they can be for themselves and for their loved ones because all realtionships start with YOU first! Infact, you could spend 20 years in therapy costing you thousands of dollars or spend a lifetime masking your problems with anti-depressants and not even begin to scrape the surface of all the personal growth that you will get out of this one book. I wouldn't be surprised if all the medical insurance companies in this nation got wise and bought and sent a copy of this book to each and every policy holder they had because this book would save them millions in wasteful therapy and anti-depressants because it is just that good! Kudos to Phil for helping us without costing us our life savings over our whole lifetime! Also recommended: Life Strategies,The Seat of Our Soul, Dating for Dummies

Summary: WHEN NOTHING ELSE WORKS - BUY THIS CD!!!
Review: Me & my s/o have had problems from day one but we both tried to cover it up and work through them. After a year engagement we decided to set a date and plan the wedding. Something explosive happened in our relationship and we were at our end, the wedding was cancelled. It has caused us to basically give up and seperate. This is the last thing both of us wanted to do especially with 2 young children, but we didn't know what else to do but to take a break from one another, so I am setting to leave. After watching the relationship rescue episodes of Dr. Phil on television, I said I have to get this book - this is my only hope. I'm not even done with the book and I already feel confident that my relationship will work out just fine with time and dedication. Dr. Phil is down to earth, he doesn't play any games. I listen to the CD in my car on my way home from work since I never have time to read. Make sure you buy the Relationship Rescue workbook along with it! If your partner wants your relationship to be rescued he will go through this workbook with you. The CD will lift you up in ways you can't imagine...when everything else fails - you need to buy this cd!

Summary: Dr. Phil To The Rescue!
Review: I enjoy all of Dr. Phil's books--I find them intelligent, well-organized and insightful. This book is one of his best because to shows that relationships in trouble really need the equivalent of a SWAT team -- that's your time and attention. In the family/parenting genre I also love Annie Lamott and I really enjoyed a book about the magic of being a father and the difficulty of marriage, "I Sleep At Red Lights: A True Story of Life After Triplets," by Bruce Stockler.
