It’s
been a while since I’ve written a book review, so I decided to write about one
of the best books I’ve read lately. It’s called Life Code, and it’s written by Dr. Phil.
Now,
we know that he can sometimes be a controversial figure, but I like him.
I
was watching TV one day this winter, and he had a couple on the show who were involved
with domestic violence. As you might know, I am a survivor of domestic
violence, so I am very curious about anything that addresses the subject. Dr.
Phil has really put himself out there to help those victims, and even the
perpetrators, and I think it’s great.
Anyway,
I’m not sure if that was the first time I heard him talk about his new book, Life Code, but I made up my mind I was
going to buy it when I could.
And
I did.
It’s
an awesome book… one I wish I would have had as a young adult. In the first
part, he writes about “The Real-World ‘Bad Guys,’” and gives practical ways to
see who they are. He calls them “BAITER’s.” Regrettably, I have known some of
these people in my life, even let them hurt me severely, and I’m sure you have
known some, too. He tackles “The Nefarious 15,” and after reading their
characteristics, well, just wow. I think if you aren’t sure whether someone
fits into the category of being a Baiter, and you read this, you will
definitely know.
The
second part addresses how you can win “in the Real World.” He gives advice,
counsel, wisdom… whatever you might call it, to succeed in your life. There is
even a chapter on parenting, which I definitely appreciated, too.
“Again,
I’m not telling you how the world should
work, I’m telling you how the world does
work.” (p.172)
We
are used to “Dr. Philism’s,” as we call them, but really, he does know what he’s
talking about.
If
you’re young, old, man, woman, whoever you are, this book will be of great value
to you if you are willing to look at things with the lens of truth.
