A Step-by-Step Guide to Help You Decide Whether to Stay In or Get Out of Your Relationship

Review:The book drags a bit and nothing really grasps my attention to want to keep reading. Everytime you think you are about to get some advice you get "as you continue to read this book you will hear my advice for this type of situation"...so you continue to read but that advice never really comes?? I don't know...still reading. If you are looking for a self help book I guess its not so bad. Read more

The Art of Loving
The Art of Loving

Review:"The Art of Loving" is a masterful work by Erich Fromm. His broad-minded scope on the human condition is such a breath of fresh air, especially in today's society. I really enjoyed how he linked capitalism to the failure to love, which is extremely true. In fact, I would like to expound upon the notion that capitalism kills (and is currently killing) love.

I've always been vehemently against polyamory and open relationships. After reading "The Art of Loving," it suddenly dawned on me that... Read more

and the Secret of a Good Life - A Southern Girl

Review:It was a thought-provoking book. Writing about about a sister who has died has to be a challenge, and you can see the author's attempt to paint her as nearly perfect in one sense, yet human and flawed in the other. One of the things I reflected on after reading it was that, at the end, Ruthie suffered in great pain and her family was not prepared for her death. This can lead to complicated grief. Ruthie could have died at home much more peacefully if hospice had been involved, and bereavement... Read more
