Review:In the Introduction, the author says this is not a Buddhist boo. However, the book is totally from a Buddhist perspective and quotes the Dalai Lamma and other Buddhist teachers extensively. The author himself is a Buddhist monk so I don't know why he tried to market this as a secular work.

Regardless, I found this book to be very helpful and reinforced much of what I have read in the field of cognitive therapy. Read more

Review:This is the best book there is on understanding men and women, imho. In a very simple way the author shows just how different men and women think, percieve infomration coming from the opposite sex, explain why and what would be a better approach. Plain and simple, soooooo to the root cause and point!
He gives a situation, for example, something being said, then shows how the man hears it and how the woman hears it. When i'd read the man's side I'd be thinking hmm this is weird, but then I'd r... Read more

Review:Everything stated in this book is good advice and combines all the little snippets I heard from various concerned friends and family. So if you are really tired and lost and just don't feel like hearing people talk, I suggest reading this book in one afternoon.

It served as a reinforcement of all the things various people have already told me, and they all make sense just that sometimes when your mother tells you things, even though you know deep down that they are true, you just feel lik... Read more

Review:"The Unthinkable" logically deconstructs disasters and examines who survives and who doesn't. It provides a fantastic framework for examining risks in your life, and thinking about how best to surive these risks. It is not a doomsday book about stockpiling food in your basement bunker, but instead deals with a way to think about these situations beforehand, so that you will be better mentally prepared.

The book is well-written, and I had trouble putting it down. My wife is currently re... Read more

Review:If you've been reading memory palace techniques but stop short of trying it out, this is the book to get you started.

It got me building my own palace and I'm using it right now. With all skills, it takes practice and it does feel clumsy at first to map things into the palace. I'm still getting the hang of it.

A couple of possible Improvements will make it 5 stars for me
1) Some of the examples are too americanized and hard to imagine. Localizing it or using more global/famous e... Read more

Review:The book is indeed BRIEF and I was mildly shocked when it arrived. My last physics book was easily 20 times heavier. The author no doubt knows his subject matter and has a gift for language and simplification. He even waxes poetic at times. Perhaps it's no accident he is Italian. I frankly cannot imagine an English or German physicist being so lyrical - nor brief.

The lessons as such are really not "lessons" in the sense of what you get at graduate school or even college. The reason for t... Read more

Review:I received the book in the mail this afternoon. Starting reading it and didn't put it down until I was finished. It should be mandatory reading for all high school students! His story shows us that we are so much alike, no matter the color of our skin. It's the content of our character! A must read... Read more
