Review:"When grandiose planning/strategizing" becomes an integral part of top executives' job spec. and the pursue of certainty is ingrained so deeply into whatever system we are in, the evolution trial and error mindset pitched by the author is destined to be neglected. Thanks to that, I can thrive "for years" as a professional trader whose success depends solely on the repeated and consistent failure of others. In case you feel for what I had just written, this book is for you."

Review:If you have children or grandchildren, this is the book for you. Simple things, such as saying you really worked hard rather than you really are smart, make a huge difference in how successful children become at anything, from sports to academic accomplishments. The book is full of hints like this and an easy-to-understand explanation of how to be successful at your chosen activity. These hints apply to all ages. After reading it, I had to purchase copies to send to others. Read more

Review:This and its parent book "Talent Code" really give you an in-depth look at what it takes to create a winning team or school. It will open your mind with ideas to performance and what it takes to make champions. Whether you are a sports team, music school or some other type of competition based business this book is awesome!!! Read more

Review:This workbook is a good basic book with both problems and the answers. It is helpful. I found the workbook problems a little more difficult then the actual textbook but I think that will be helpful in the long run to make you stretch your thinking of the concepts. Read more

Review:I really enjoyed this book, it was very enlightening. I have always found the different shades of red hair rather lovely, I myself do not have red hair (although I have dyed my hair red once or twice) so growing up I never noticed that there was any stigma associated with red hair. I was floored to read that women in the Tudor period would use white lead to get that pale skin look, how horrifying it must have been for them to suffer the effects of its use. I would definitely recommend this boo... Read more

Review:Great deal, Great price! Book was brand new or at least appeared to be. No torn pages, no writing or marks in the book and this purchase from AMAZON saved me over $100.00 of what I would have paid on campus at the bookstore!!! Read more

Review:A great way to build conceptional knowledge of College/AP physics for general phys 1-3. If you're really interesting in learning about what is going on, I recommend getting one of these if they're optional for your class. The only issue is that you'll have to find a source for solutions, because it's not overly helpful without them. Read more

Review:The Lucifer Principle is absolutely must reading for anyone who wants to understand racism, violence and war. Bloom has made a remarkable contribution to both cultural anthropology and politics. Military leaders, politicians, police and educators should be required to read The Lucifer Principle as a matter of survival training.
This book also provides a highly salutary alternative to the ghastly public psycho/social philosophy that has been concocted by the American academic community ove... Read more

Review:Given that I am not familiar with Russel's philosophical work, I was delighted that I was able to follow this with relatively little difficulty. I don't really think that it was meant to be an in-depth account of his theory, just a titillating introduction to further study. I also enjoyed the story in itself, as well as the creative self-referential style in which it was presented. I hope they do more on other intellectuals, I would certainly buy them. Read more

Review:I learned so much about myself and other people from this book. It gave great insight to SWCs without adding judgment. I felt like the book was written with so much love. I also bought the audiobook and I love to listen to the narrator read; her voice was pleasant. If you have a child that you feel does not listen then read this book, and then loan it to someone. I am giving it out for Christmas. Read more
