Review:This book is very helpful for people with dementia, Parkinson's who have money, friends and family to support them and I'm not demeaning the content of the book at all! There is some great advice and though I know dementia, Parkinson's is, bottom line, a solo journey, I know I'd be very comforted if my retirement money hadn't all been lost in a Ponzi scheme, that I had the kind of wonderful support network this man is so fortunate to have. Great advice but most of it doesn't apply to my situa... Read more

Review:The Happiness Animal goes into depth on how to be happy with theoritical scenarios, exercises, famous quotes, and the author's real life experiences.

Review:Coates' book is a public appreciation of his parents' labors to keep him alive physically, mentally, and spiritually during the crack wars that coincided with his turbulent teenage years. He makes it out. But the trail wound around some hairpin curves overlooking precipitous cliffs that stopped the heart cold. He knows how close he and his siblings came to falling over the edge. He was lucky in his all-too-human father who was always there when the principal called to say Coates misbehaved a... Read more
Review:Recently was in the hospital where they had a book similar to this. I’m only giving 4/5 because it isn’t the exact book I wanted though it’s the same title.
Great quotes and fun to read. Small little book full of goodness. I wish there was a book with ALL his quotes in 1 instead of 3 or more. Read more
Review:I've now used this method/book to potty train two of my children. It really works and it works fast! My pediatrician was the one who initially recommended it to me. This book is not a light read--it's real info based on research and trials so it may take a little while to get through it. I'd start at least a month before you wish to have the potty training day so you can read, review, gather supplies, and prepare yourself. It's pretty exhausting for mom (as other reviewers have said) but it's wo... Read more

Review:God's principles are always best and when we follow them we will have blessed marriages full of unspeakable joy. This book doesn't beat around the bush. Debi's no-nonsense approach is refreshing. Our culture has fed women a lie. But God's word gives us the truth and hope. Read more
Review:This book was so helpful to me as I tried to make sense of estrangement from my daughter. I had spent one and a half years trying to muddle through life's responsibilities while processing a crippling and profound grief. The author has so many helpful perspectives and good advice for not only getting your life back on track but also beginning to feel joy again despite the loss. Read more
