Publisher's summary

The rules for living in the real world have changed, because the world we live in has changed. Much of the conventional wisdom the last generation has passed on just doesn't apply like it once did. If you want to win, and win big, and, more importantly, keep what you work so hard for, you need a crystal-clear view of how the real world works - not how you wish it worked, but how it actually works.

In Life Code: The New Rules for Winning in the Real World, six-time New York Times number-one best-selling author Dr. Phil McGraw abandons traditional thinking and tells you the ugly truth about the users, abusers, and overall "bad guys" we all have in our lives. He also reveals the secrets of how they think and how they get to and exploit you and those you love. You'll gain incredible insight into these negative people, which he refers to as BAITERs (Backstabbers, Abusers, Imposters, Takers, Exploiters, Reckless), and you'll gain the tools to protect yourself from their assaults. Dr. Phil gives you the "Evil Eight" identifiers so you can see them coming from a mile away, as well as their "Secret Playbook", which contains the "Nefarious 15" tactics they use to exploit you and take what is yours mentally, physically, socially, and professionally. Life Code then focuses on you and your playbook, which contains the "Sweet 16" tactics for winning in the real world.

Edgy, controversial and sometimes irreverent, Dr. Phil again abandons convention to prepare you to claim what you deserve and claim it now. You take flying lessons to learn to fly, swimming lessons to learn to swim, and singing lessons to learn to sing. So, why not take winning lessons to learn to win?

THIS

I went in, not realizing I was a BIT of a BAITER, but rather a victim. I'm both. This, however, helped me understand just who I am and what I can do to be a better version of me. I'm literally in tears, because I finally have closure I never thought possible. I use my nature for good rather than bad now and this book as a guide for my life.
I CAN'T WAIT, but patiently foresee, the next chapter of my life. Freedom at last from myself and the BAITERS from my life, as well as my amends to make with MY victims. This book really has shifted everything I thought I knew, everything I did know, and my plan of whom I will come to know. Me.

A boost for your self esteem

Gave real insight to every day things that people struggle with that they don't even recognize until it's out there. Makes you think how come u take this cramp from people & now I don't have to anymore. Why am I always a giver? Things are going to change.

Am listening FOR THE THIRD TIME IN A ROW!

Some reviews are complaining about the beginning of the book being boring or taking too long, but it’s not that long, and I personally find it interesting.
This book, when the proper context is maintained, is a very positive, encouraging and life changing book. Thanks Dr. Phil!

not what I expected

I was really disappointed by this book. I expected the no nonsense advice I hear from Dr Phil every time I watch his show but this book is very sinicle and almost mean. Maybe I should have read more but I didn't get past the first two chapters.
