Life Code By Dr. Phil McGraw | Amazon






Life Code is a playbook for understanding how to deal with various types of individuals in the world. Dr. Phil spends the entire book breaking down what he calls the BAITERs in the world. He describes BAITERs as toxic individuals or those who display toxic behavior. BAITERs are classified as Backstabbers, Abusers, Imposters, Takers, Exploiters, and Reckless individuals. Many of us have experienced these types of people throughout our lives. It’s important to read this book to learn how to deal with these types of people.


BAITERs are found in our workplaces, home, and in every aspect of life. Dr. Phil identifies the “Nefarious 15”, which are the 15 most common tactics, behaviors, or strategies used by BAITERs. He uses a significant portion of the book to describe these 15 tactics. Dr. Phil doesn’t stop at identifying the 15 tactics used, but he also gives strategies that others can use to avoid being victims of the BAITERS in the world. He ends the book by providing the reader with a new playbook to protect from the hurtful behaviors of others. He also gives advice on parenting and other helpful life strategies. Dr. Phil uses this book to help the reader survive the real world, which is full of people who intentionally or unintentionally hurt others. The reader will gain a better understanding of how to navigate and shield them from the hurt caused by others. We have all heard the saying “hurt people hurt people”. Many individuals have been through things that cause them to act certain ways and one should never judge others because of that. However, we don’t have to be a willing victim to the hurt of others. Life Code is a great playbook to help navigate life and prevent some of life's avoidable hurts.
