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?

Life Code is excellent

Would you consider the audio edition of Dr. Phil McGraw: Life Code to be better than the print version?

Listening to the audio of Dr Phil McGraw was really interesting, it felt like he was in the same room, just talking to me and putting his point across.

What did you like best about this story?

The truthfulness of Dr Phil McGraw words and examples.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

I enjoyed listening to the first part which outlines what type of person we sometimes deal with whether it be in the office or at home.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

It has been a long time since I've actually listened to an audio and actually agreed with the writer. This is a five star book.

Any additional comments?

I would recommend this book to those people who been treated badly whether at work or at home and feel it was their fault. This book will change your mind.

Motivating

I wouldn't say I have been given the answers I would be looking for but I have been given the tools an motivation for the next chapter in my life.

Dr Phil did that for me many years ago and I've already started to take control again. This has reminded me that I really do have the answers all I needed to do was visualise what success would look like for me and write down the steps to get there.

Well worth listening!

Typical self help books bore me. But this book is realistic and very useful. I am resolved to changing my behaviour based in the guidance.

Love Dr Phil but book wasnt what I expected

Love Dr Phil, I expected more specific examples relating to mental health conditions rather than in general e.g. a Narcissist/Border Line etc. Didn't really feel like I learnt any new information that I didn't already know, maybe this is better for someone with limited information in this subject area who wants an overview.

Not quite for me

Is there anything you would change about this book?

In a way I can't fault the book and its content, if I was to change anything, I would ask for it to be less sales oriented, the first chapter I found myself gritting my teeth, thinking just get to it.

If you’ve listened to books by Phil McGraw before, how does this one compare?

I love Dr Phil's work and this is full of insightful stuff and great advice, unfortunately I should have read more about it as the last third is about parenting - and I am not a parent, so I hit the fast forward button a lot towards the end of the book.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

The section on the games played and the defences were really good and shamefully I recognise that I have employed the negative games, so the chapter where Dr Phil told me off made me chuckle.

Was Dr. Phil McGraw: Life Code worth the listening time?

For 2/3 rds of it yes, the last 1/3 I can't say. I tried to think of my experience with my parents, but no.

Inspirational and educational

I love watching Dr Phil, I find his advice and opinions very helpful and easily adapted to help in my own life situations. So when I heard he had wrote this book I couldn't wait to hear what he had to say that could help me and I wasn't disappointed. He easily explains what problems and what people we may meet in our lifes that either hold us back, take advantage or take us for fools and then he explains exactly how to recognise them then cope and deal with them and succeed yourself to intelligently outwit and get the upper hand. Thank you Dr Phil, and to top it off I get the pleasure of hearing your soft comforting voice to educate me..perfect!

What works does he lives in?

If you want your coaching & support from someone with very little involvement in the real world then this is the book for you. All this book tells you is just how disengaged he has been throughout his life. If your issues can be resolved through the application of this 'code' you never really had issues to begin with
