Review:I personally like Pink's style of starting with showing the readers what the research says (various experiments), conclude, draw what the implications are for us. I think Pink's books are always well researched and easy to read. However I must say towards the end of "To Sell is Human" I found his style getting a bit monotonous - same pattern of presentation. I would have liked to read more about what Pink himself thinks about the Attunement, Buoyancy, Clarity pattern and how he applies it to his... Read more

Review:The same friend who recommended The Lost Art of Compassion also recommended Radical Acceptance. Both are excellent! They explain the communities between Buddhist and Western psychologies. Both authors add enough autobiographical information to make the text interesting personally. Tara Brach, author of Radical Acceptance, is "a beloved meditation teacher and psychotherapist" according to her book's introduction. One read demonstrates this is so. Lorne Ladner Ph.D., author of The Lost Art, ... Read more

Review:This book was life changing for me. It really made me consider things about myself that I hadn't before and gave a lot of insight toward making positive changes. It gives great perspectives and suggests different ways to maintain balance in your life. I highly recommend this book. Read more

Review:I read one of Johnson's previous works, his memoir, Balancing Heaven and Earth, and I found it mildly substantive...it being a memoir, but I thought I would get something more valuable from this work. I have never, and I use this term honestly, been more disappointed. This book is a cut and paste of his other works and has, in its entirety, no value. I am an open-minded reader and I felt incredibly ripped off by this book. The one reviewer pointed out the constant reference to Christian theology... Read more

Review:We've heard all the lies before, but after reading this book you will be able to match what you are hearing with the patterns they mention. It will be harder for someone to deceive you precisely because lies fit into patterns, which for some reason liars all use. Read more
