Dr. Phil McGraw: Life Code

By: Dr. Phil McGraw

Narrated by: Dr. Phil McGraw

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?

Not as good as I expected

I am a huge Dr. Phil fan, but the first half of the book just seemed to bash terrible people and describe what terrible people do over and over again. I didn’t find anything too helpful or interesting about that part of the book. About halfway through he started breaking down getting to know yourself and how to deal with negotiations, communication, etc. This is what I had expected for the whole book...and there were many more tidbits that were interesting. I’m just glad it took a turn for the better in the second half!

Wow---Life Changing

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would recommend to a friend, and have, because if you are or have been prey for a baitor, it gives words and information on how to stand up for yourself and be heard. I also appreciated the verbage for a conversation with a friend who is talking about you. Wow-Soooo Useful!!!!!

What other book might you compare Dr. Phil McGraw: Life Code to and why?

I would also recommend "Shark and a Goldfish," by Jon Gordon

What does Phil McGraw bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Dr. Phil speaking brings his seriousness to each situation. I enjoyed it.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

This book made me laugh and cry about so many years I have been willing to listen to lies from a baitor thinking it was my fault and there was something wrong with me. I love that I have a voice and will be more cautious from now on in future relationships.

Any additional comments?

I love it, and will listen/read and relisten/reread this book many, many times. I want to get this so that my life will be different. Thank you Dr. Phil...I am truly grateful.
