Are you being taken advantage of?

      Dr. Phil has just presented excerpts from his new-upcoming book titled "Life Code, The New Rules for Winning in the Real World" and it sounds like a must-read!
After watching today's episode of Dr. Phil (Life Code: The New Rules for Winning in the Real World) (aired November 13, 2012), I am excited to read his book to find out more about the characteristics it takes to be successful.
     I admit, I wasn't a fan of Dr. Phil until recently I started to find some of his episodes intriguing  After watching today's episode and learning the qualities of "baiters" and "successful people" I am inclined to give this book (and him) a new chance in providing quality advice and useful information.

Here are some excerpts from today's episode, which are also from his book:
