The Battle for the Hearts and Minds of Men
The Battle for the Hearts and Minds of Men

Review:I purchased Sovereignty after following Order of Man during the last year. I cannot recommend this book enough and what it has to offer to men who are searching for answers of how to live life better in this world today that seems so confused. It offers practical guidance along with how to set a vision for your life or "battle plan" that is simple and effective. I purchased the physical copy of the book, which is currently out of stock but was able to start reading the Kindle version until it... Read more

A True Account of an Imaginative Life - Tibetan Peach Pie
A True Account of an Imaginative Life - Tibetan Peach Pie

Review:I never would have guessed by reading Mr. Robbins works that he also lived a life of such imagination. The world is a better place because of his books, and mind expanding prose. I was sad that this book had to end! Read more

The Conspiracy against the Human Race - A Contrivance of Horror
The Conspiracy against the Human Race - A Contrivance of Horror

Review:Thomas Ligotti is a gifted and eloquent author, one whose works of fiction I admire. As far as his philosophy as a philosophy- as a lay reader I am not qualified to pass judgement. But this book has given me a lot to think about. I plan on reading it again. If you are new to his work, I would suggest reading his short fiction first, as he there introduces themes he develops effectively here. Read more

Battle of Legends Book 1 (An Unofficial Minecraft Book)
Battle of Legends Book 1 (An Unofficial Minecraft Book)

Review:This book is creative but the plot is terrible. It contains too many ideas with not enough pages. Plus the grammar mistakes make it hard to read and enjoy. This book has a minecraft theme but doesnt have mincraft items. Could of been better but unfortunately was poorly written. I recommend any of Mark Chevertons books. Read more

The Interpretation of Dreams
The Interpretation of Dreams

Review:This is a new translation (2006) of Freud's Interpretation of Dreams. I hope someone qualified might soon comment on the merits or significance of this new translation. Meanwhile, the Editorial Review information offered for this book comes from an earlier edition of a different translation of Freud's work, FWIW. And the second paragraph in the editorial review prelim is entirely inappropriate--it's for another book altogether.

I give Freud's book (not the translation) a low rating bec... Read more

The CIA Conspiracy to Murder John F. Kennedy - and Their Vision for World Peace
The CIA Conspiracy to Murder John F. Kennedy - and Their Vision for World Peace

Review:I have always been intrigued by the assassination of Mary Pinchot Meyer and have followed the accounts of her assasination with great interest over the years, and find that this is the best yet. I also think that if Mr.Janney's findings are accurate we had all better keep and eye on him. Obviously Mr. Janney's motivation in writing this book was his friendship with Mary Meyer's son Michael. To think of the research that must have gone into this is mind boggling. Mary Meyer was also a philanderer... Read more

Five Actionable Strategies to Create a Positive Path to Success
Five Actionable Strategies to Create a Positive Path to Success

Review:Shawn Achor is a brilliant guy. His research and work hold both an insightful and refreshing view of the world. I'm a fairly optomistic and hopeful person. His book provided me with an even greater roadmap to a more productive and positive way of life, both at home and in the workplace. Shawn's teachings have inspired me to work on being a "positive genius". There has already been some very real differences in my family life. I'd recommend this book to everyone. It can only improve your life. M... Read more

Flow: The Psychology of Happiness
Flow: The Psychology of Happiness

Review:An extremely helpful book. Well written and easy to follow the idea of this often intangible concept of flow. To some degree it provides a great insight for why we do what we do. Flow as the optimal experience transcende our daily activities, religious practices and science.

The book is also very objective about it's limitation, that it does not provide a step by step guidance for how one can achieve flow, as the path is often differs person to person, it depends on a great deal of inner... Read more

The Snow Leopard
The Snow Leopard

Review:Read this, and read it again. The language is so precise and nuanced. It was a pleasure to read. Matthiessen recounts his journey, literally and figuratively, in the most captivating way. You will feel that you have been to Tibet, and you won't want the journey to end. So re-read it. Read more

A Somewhat Disastrous Quest for the Sweet Life - At Least You're in Tuscany
A Somewhat Disastrous Quest for the Sweet Life - At Least You're in Tuscany

Review:A charming, funny read. We met Jenny at Poliziano and it's clear why she and Italy are a match! Her observations are spot on and her love of all things Italian (perfect and imperfect) is evident. She's adopted Italian 'ways' and will help you do the same! Read more
