The Stress-Free Habit for Simplifying Your Home - 10-Minute Declutter
The Stress-Free Habit for Simplifying Your Home - 10-Minute Declutter

Review:I found this book a practical and refreshing take on getting your home decluttered and organized. I particularly liked the chapter on having a more minimalist mindset and learning to let go of attachments to stuff. I've lived in the same house for nearly 20 years, and this book is exactly what I need as a road-map to get started with organizing. Doing it in 10 minute increments fits perfectly with my busy work schedule. I also love how the authors provide info on a variety of products for gettin... Read more

An Introduction to the Practice of Meditation - The Miracle of Mindfulness
An Introduction to the Practice of Meditation - The Miracle of Mindfulness

Review:What I particularly liked about it was that I felt it took the subject of meditatitive "mindfulness" and applied it to it's usage during the waking course of everyday life -- that is, to noticing what's in you and around you at any given time, i.e., engaging life. Usually I find the subject of meditation treated as recommending a solitary way of retreating from the disturbing pressures of life (sit, cross your legs, breathe....) That's good, some need it, I don't particularly. But this was a goo... Read more

How to Stop Being Lazy and Overcome Your Procrastination (Productive Habits Book 1)
How to Stop Being Lazy and Overcome Your Procrastination (Productive Habits Book 1)

Review:I read several snippets from other books on procrastination and they all seemed to say that it's my fault that I procrastinate, which it is, but they did not really tell ways that l could fix the problem. The author has put a lot time into researching this subject and has compiled a very doable plan to alleviate procrastination. The best part is that he reiterates several times that this is a slow progress and to keep your eyes on the prize and to take baby steps. I've already picked the habit... Read more

The Road to Wigan Pier (Penguin Modern Classics)
The Road to Wigan Pier (Penguin Modern Classics)

Review:It's worth knowing that this book was originally commissioned by the Left Book Club, a Socialist book club in the UK, and when the manuscript arrived they realized Orwell had delivered more than they'd bargained for. In part one, Orwell brilliantly reports on the atrocious living and working conditions in northern England in the 1930s. His chapter covering his visit to a coal mine has been often anthologized, but the entire section consists of equally vivid portraits. In part two, Orwell dis... Read more

Utopia (Penguin Classics)
Utopia (Penguin Classics)

Review:Understanding that it was written at the time of King Henry VIII, I found the style of writing demanding. What we would know as "run-on sentences" and arcane language usage made it difficult. But, I also found it interesting. Read more

War is a Racket
War is a Racket

Review:This book should be required reading for everyone who decides questions of war and peace, even as a citizen writing letter to Congress or the President. General Butler gives a whole new view of what is involved in using military force "to protect American interests." WARNING: Some of the photographs in the back of war's results are not just graphic but gruesome. Read more
