THE GET REAL TOUR
Live in Theater
About Dr. Phil
Dr. Phil McGraw has galvanized millions of people to “get real” about their own behavior and create more positive lives. Dr. Phil, his syndicated, daily one-hour series, is the second highest-rated daytime talk show in the nation. The show has been making headlines and breaking records since its September 2002 launch, when it garnered the highest ratings of any new syndicated show since the launch of The Oprah Winfrey Show 19 years prior. In his seventh season, Dr. Phil continues with his “get real” approach to helping guests solve their problems by stripping away their emotional clutter and providing them with the tools they need to move confidently ahead in their lives. Dr. Phil will also continue to champion those who suffer from such silent epidemics as domestic violence, child abuse, depression, racism, substance abuse and other health issues that are prevalent in society, but go largely undiscussed by their victims. During its seven seasons on air, Dr. Phil introduced such ground-breaking series and themes as Dr. Phil Now, The Dr. Phil House, The Get Real Challenge, The Ultimate Weight Loss Challenge, The Dr. Phil Families, Relationship Rescue Retreat, Anatomy of a Divorce and The Brandon Intervention. Dr. Phil is also the author of seven #1 New York Times bestsellers: Life Strategies: Doing What Works, Doing What Matters; Relationship Rescue: A Seven-Step Strategy for Reconnecting with Your Partner; Self Matters: Creating Your Life From the Inside Out; The Ultimate Weight Solution:The Seven Keys to Weight Loss Freedom; Family First:Your Step-by-Step Plan for Creating a Phenomenal Family and Love Smart: Find the One You Want, Fix the One You Got. Dr. Phil is also the author of the New York Times bestseller The Ultimate Weight Solution Cookbook: Recipes for Weight Loss Freedom as well as The Ultimate Weight Solution Food Guide. His books have been published in 39 languages with over 24 million copies in print. His latest book, Real Life: Preparing for the 7 Most Challenging Days of Your Life, in bookstores this September, will give readers a solid plan on how to cope with the most demanding days in their lives.
