Review:Written over 2300 years ago, this cornerstone of political philosophy retains an astonishing degree of relevancy and applicability to the modern world. The prose takes the form of a friendly debate (with occasional humorous excursions into antagonism when Thrasymachus takes offense a few times) between four or five men, ostensibly on elucidating the nature of justice. Well, besides discussing justice, Plato launches into a description of his ideal state along with a somewhat comprehensive anal... Read more

Review:I needed this book because stress was taking its toll. Mindfulness is something we can weave into every part of our day, and Steve & Barrie provide some excellent ideas and resources to help us create lives we deserve. The objective is not to incorporate all 71 habits but rather begin slowly to approach everything with gratitude. Highly recommended. Read more

Review:This book came recommended to me by a friend. I bought it, began reading it and with in a few days it ended up in my recycling bin. I have no need to control my wife and thus our relationship sails quit well. Of course our view points differ from time to time but we always talk and work together for the greater good. As we are all individuals with our own way of thinking I can imaging that the Authors research and opinions work for many men out there. So I give him credit to helping men fin... Read more

Review:Mike finally comes clean! He protected OJ illegally for many years knowing the truth that OJ "did it". The stashing of OJ's personal and sports items was certainly very illegal. The book again shows that juries do get it wrong at times when a good attorney lies and missleads. Read more

Review:As always with Jon Krakauer a wonderful book. Informative, detailed and with whatever he brings up about Mortenson well substantiated. A great story to read made overly pleasant by one of the best writers there is! Read more

Review:While I admire Ms. Gay's attempt to share her journey with the reader, the book comes across as shallow and lacking genuine depth. Yes she told of the event that led to her lifelong battle but where is the inner work? Perhaps I missed it because I stopped reading. Ms. Gay if you haven't done so please consider therapy. Please fight for the 12 year old girl who so desperately needs healing. From what I read the 12 year old is not only traumatized from the actual event but she now carries the guil... Read more

Review:This is a book that delivers more than it promises. Annie Duke teaches us how to set aside many of our pre-conceived notions about positive and negative outcomes. She provides us with a framework to accept either result derived from the countless decisions we make in business and in our private everyday lives.
The titles for each chapter and subheading inspire the reader to hunker down and examine life through the prism of a poker player champion. How would each important decision be mad... Read more

Review:I'm 64 years young, struggling with multiple sclerosis, diagnosed at 39 years. Want to play piano for personal enjoyment. Hubby purchases 61 note keyboard. Accidentally met retired piano teacher. Asked if her music could be borrowed, purchased, et cetera. She said music to be borrowed and she will teach. Shortest version: must learn more than bargained for.
With no appreciation for keyboard, affordable piano was found. Am learning to pace self, practice, learning notes, read and play music ... Read more

Review:Great book, although I found a rather major flaw in one of early chapters -- the Minangkabau is an Asian tribe, not an African one.
Referring to this snippet from the book:
'This alternative explanation is borne out by their later experiment with an African tribe, the Minangkabau of West Sumatra. These volunteers had less understanding of Western emotions and did not show the same physical changes as Western test subjects; they also reported feeling the expected emotion much less frequentl...

Review:My recalcitrant learner has been transformed! I found a DVD from this series at our local library and it was so effective I bought two of the workbooks. The videos are clear, humorous, and easy to listen to. This is working beautifully for a homeschool math course for my now seventh grader, who resisted every other math approach I tried. I'm so grateful to find something that works at last! Read more
