Need direction in your life? Need answers? Or, how about a nugget of wisdom about how you don't need flapjacks to run a sweatshop? Well, don't look here.

While millions of people believe that Dr. Phil has all the answers, Dr. Phil: E! True Hollywood Story explores a man who--by all accounts--might just need a little help himself. Legions tune in daily to hear the wildly popular TV psychologist spin his down-home, no-nonsense psychological cures, and now E! brings you the story of this pop guru's rocky past.

From his start in the South as a school-avoiding jock, Phil McGraw has always been a force of nature. Standing six-foot-four, he has been able to sell everything from gym memberships to easy cures.

 
But is he a real help or just a modern-day medicine man selling quick fixes? His tough talk appeals to his audience, but just how many breakthroughs can he really make between commercial breaks?

Tune in to hear firsthand how he treated his first wife and business partners. And hear what Texas officials had to say about his psychology practice.

But first: Probe deep into your own psyche and see how many truths you know about Dr. Phil.
