Inside My Heart: Choosing to Live with Passion and Purpose

Written by Robin McGraw

Narrated by Robin McGraw

I believe we were put on this earth to enjoy lives of joy and abundance, and that is what I want for you and for me. It's not my intention to give people advice on how to solve their problems (I leave that to my husband). But I've had my share of struggles over the years, and I know a thing or two about what has worked for me. I have chosen to be an active participant in my life rather than a spectator, and in so doing I have chosen how to be a woman, how to be a wife, and how to be a mother in ways that are uniquely my own. I offer the stories of these choices as evidence of the power of sheer determination, will, and faith in God.

You've seen her on television with her husband, Dr. Phil. But now it's time for a heart-to-heart conversation with Robin McGraw. In Inside My Heart, Robin speaks woman to woman, inspiring you to embrace and celebrate the many roles you play and encouraging you to make deliberate choices that lead to a richer, happier, and more meaningful life.

She shares with you the life-changing moments of her childhood years, dating and marrying Dr. Phil McGraw, raising two sons, and asserting herself as a woman in a man's world to show you that you have the power to make choices in your life. In fact, she's convinced that you must choose to go after the life you want.

With a deep and abiding faith in God, Robin McGraw shares her story so you too can make choices that reflect your own heart's truest priorities and highest goals.

Robin truly captures what it means to be a supportive, loving wife in this day and age and how we can still be women in a time when no one wants femininity anymore.

Robin McGraw, as Dr.Phil's wife, has the mission of telling women how to choose to live a richer, happier and more meaningful life. She has wonderful insights and great experiences in advising us how to face our daily problems. Every word was written from her true heart.

I'm lukewarm on this book. It was too repetitious for me. It isn't necessary to reword the same topic for two pages. I get it!
The book isn't what I had thought it would be. I thought it would be about living a better life, but this was more of a memoir.
I didn't know she was Christian and wonder why it took so many years for it to be put in print. I didn't know her parents were alcoholics, but she has persevered and that is commendable.
She is a high energy person and it shines through in the book. But what I really liked about this book, was her hospital emergency story about her son and the man who takes the phone call from her to convey the message she couldn't get out of her mouth while telling her Dad to come to the hospital. She she turned to tell the man thank you, he was gone. I think she would be a genuine person to be friends with, but the book isn't a keeper for me.

This book is by Dr. Phil's wife Robin. If she wasn't Dr. Phil's wife this book would probably not be written. It's ok, there are a few gems in the book. However, to me it comes off rather preachy. do as I say not as I do in some places, this is who I am if you don't like it tough in others.
