Do your buddies know "The Code"? in a hilarious guide inspired by a memorable episode of the hit CBSv television show How I Met Your Mother, ultimate bro Barney Stinson outlines how a bro should behave in any situation.

The Bro Code is a living document, like the Constitution. Although it dates back to the American Revolution, The Bro Code has never been published before. Few know of its existence, and the code has only been verbally communicated between those "in the bro." Until now. Regardless of veracity, a Bro never admits familiarity with a Broadway show or musical. When attending a strip club, a Bro never wears jeans. These are only two of the truths in an epic code of conduct for dudes, essential for ensuring a man's success in daily life and garnering him respect from his buddies. If a dude breaks the code, he risks losing face, friends, and most importantly- women. For the first time ever, The Bro Code spells out 150 rules men need to know in order to behave properly among other bros. This code of conduct for bros can range from the simple (bros before hos) to the complex (the hot-to-crazy ratio, complete with bar graphs and charts). With helpful sidebros and illustrations, The Bro Code will help any ordinary guy become the best bro he can be.

    Obvisouly signed Barney Stinson
    To read the book, you need to know the "How I Met Your Mother" television series. Everybody knew that Barney quoted articles from the Bro Code, without knowing it really existed. The Bro Code is constituted of 150 articles of pure bro-ness. After reading it, you understand why and how Barney Stinson is actually thinking that differently from a common human being. While reading the book, you can't say that it isn't signed Barney Stinson! It is simply a perfectly representative book of the Stinson lifestyle. The book is great and it fit very well with the character of Barney Stinson. It is written as if it was a legal text book, with the articles, the amendments that completes each articles by giving specification or situation of exception and you kind of want to follow the Bro Code. It is well written, it is funny and it is completely Barney Stinson. The book is, without a doubt, legen-wait for it-dary and awesome.

    AWESOME!
    Everything you've ever wanted to know about being a "bro". The legend - wait for it - dary book was out of this world awesome! I absolutely adore the TV show "How I Met Your Mother" and this book, which has been mentioned more than once was, was everything I had hoped for. I feel as though I am now fully equipped to handle being a wing-woman and can easily spot a true bro and a faux bro. For those of you that are fans of the show or Neil Patrick Harris I cannot state enough that you MUST read this and also get the audio book.

    A must read for 'How I Met Your Mother' fans
    This book is filled with promotions of irresponsible sex, insulting stereotypes, and immature behavior but that is what Neil Patrick Harris' character Barney Stinson is all about. The humor will be lost on anyone who doesn't watch How I Met Your Mother. However if you're a fan of the show, you'll likely hear Neil Patrick Harris' voice in your head as you read the book cover-to-cover. Not only does Barney supply readers with ample material to laugh at and enjoy, he also rewards loyal fans with references to things that have occurred throughout the series' colorful seasons.

    Legen... Wait for it... Dary!!!
    The Bro Code can be looked at from two angles, the Bro's perspective, and those who attempt at being a Bro but fail miserably. This book is simply a humorous take on the philosophy that is Barney Stinson (portrayed by the well known NPH, and for those not in with the Bro you shall know him as Neil Patrick Harris, in the TV show How I Met Your Mother). While I may not speak of the contents within the book due to risk of betraying article four, I can let you know that this book is made up of a series of laugh worthy passages that will leave readers begging for more and often bringing up quotes to fellow Bros. To anyone that is a fan of the TV series... this is a must read, and to anyone else, who is male due to article four, this is not only a Bro Code, but it is a way of life. Read it and enjoy!

About the Book

Everyone's life is governed by an internal code of conduct. Some call it morality. Others call it religion. But Bros in the know call this holy grail the Bro Code.

Historically a spoken tradition passed from one generation to the next, the official code of conduct for Bros appears here in its published form for the first time ever. By upholding the tenets of this sacred and legendary document, any dude can learn to achieve Bro-dom.
