Review:The writing is as clear and concise as the author's thinking. It's obvious that she knows her subjects well and has great insight. Sarah Kendzior is an excellent scholar and researcher, who can make that important information easy for the rest of us to read and appreciate. Read more
Review:Although the concepts discussed are informative, this follow-up to Duckerman's original, "Raising Bebe" read a lot like a Cliff's Notes of the original. I thoroughly enjoyed "Raising Bebe" & found it very helpful in considering French parenting styles & discussing along with my husband, who is French. Unfortunately, Bebe Day by Day turned out to be nothing new. It re-stated most of the concepts previously discussed in the first book, in a nearly outline-type format. It was also very... Read more
Review:In a round about way Hawkins implies that if God (Truth) were to speak, this is what it would have to say about all the things he has calibrated. Hummmmm...I say Hawkins calibrations are measurements from his own life filter, from his own perspective and are a reflection of his own self-expression and the life he has lived.
Let's say you use the muscle testing technique to test the level of truth of the furniture in your house. Your sofa calibrates at 220 and your dining room chair at 300... Read more

Review:I lived my early college years in those turbulent 60`s when Manson and his "family" became household names. Mr Guinn`s book brought back the horror that was Charles Manson. A scary but fascinating look into the life of a sociopath and those who followed him. Read more
Review:First read this story in high school, and loved it. It is a really, really good, really interesting short story, and I would recommend it to anyone, especially people who are feeling disconnected in life. Read more
Review:I love this book. I love everything about it from the way the cover feels to how the pages smell. I think it perfectly captures the universe these two have made together. All of the amazing anecdotes and jokes aside, my favorite part of this entire literary journey was the photos of Dan and Phil's stuff next to each other. Like their shoes or their shirts. They're like a perfectly balanced pair. And the juxtaposition of Dan's black to Phil's colors was so visually pleasing! Well done, gentlemen... Read more

Review:Well-written, easy read - and highly relevant to 2015 issues. If you are concerned about current events, particularly #BlackLivesMatter, Ferguson (and the Ferguson DOJ report), and the events in Baltimore, then I think you will enjoy this book. Read more
Review:This was a great book, there was so many inspirational quotes. The author doesn't deny anyone what he is truly feeling. HE spits his words out and you catch them with eagerness to learn what happeneds next. Read more
