Breaking Through the Invisible Boundaries of Global Business
Breaking Through the Invisible Boundaries of Global Business

Review:The Culture Map is not only a very informative text, but fun to read, too. I kept finding the examples on the book very reminiscent of what I have found within our own Company. I found the concept of cultural relativity quite interesting. Culture maps seem very useful, too as a tool to understand global teams. Read more

Learn the Secrets to Daily Joy and Lasting Fulfillment
Learn the Secrets to Daily Joy and Lasting Fulfillment

Review:This book is a reality check about happiness. It is extremely well written and it has concrete exercises for the reader to apply in everyday life. I learned so much, and the biggest lesson is that happiness doesn't just knock on your door and stay forever....we have to work hard at bringing happiness into our lives and keeping happiness around like a close friend who isn't with you every day, but is loyal throughout your lifetime.

Social: Why Our Brains Are Wired to Connect
Social: Why Our Brains Are Wired to Connect

Review:The central argument of this book is that the default state of our brains, based largely on functional MRI (fMRI) scans, is being social and connected to others. When we are not doing anything, in so called idle state, our brain fMRI looks like when we are being social. And in that state of doing nothing we mostly think about other people.

Then Mr. Lieberman forces that argument, in rest of the book, to a conclusion that being social is like one of our basic needs for air, water, food and... Read more

and Take Advantage of Human Psychology - 27 Studies to Master Charisma

Review:This book is terrible. First, it wasn't published by a publishing company...? Which makes sense considering there are excessive grammatical errors. Second, the author literally references the KU KLUX KLAN as an example of a group that concerns itself highly with the "value stage" of friendship. He says, "they are built upon a specific set of beliefs that bonds them together. We are similarly looking for people who think like us, and who we can ultimately relate to." If the author sent this to a ... Read more

Why We Drive the Way We Do (and What It Says About Us)
Why We Drive the Way We Do (and What It Says About Us)

Review:But I bought the ebook on Kindle, and the formatting is atrocious. Even on the widest setting, it fills only half the screen's width, with the margins taking up 1/4 of the screen on either side. It's pretty much completely unreadable, and now I have to figure out how to return an ebook.

Save yourself the headache and eye strain and just buy the paperback. Read more

Parenting Your Five to Twelve-Month Old Through the Babyhood Transition
Parenting Your Five to Twelve-Month Old Through the Babyhood Transition

Review:I bought the original Babywise book before my daughter was born and it worked like a charm. However, this book is a lot less in-depth than the first one. I wish it talked more about different nap and sleeping styles. It assumes that just because you followed the first book your babies naps will automatically fall into a certain pattern. Not the case for my baby. She really is a fabulous sleeper and slept thru the night since 2 months old (11pm to 7am). However, now that she is getting to b... Read more

1 Page at a Time: A Daily Creative Companion
1 Page at a Time: A Daily Creative Companion

Review:Can't recommend this book enough. Even after a long day being *~creative~* at work, I always look forward to coming home and doing my 1 page (uhhh sometimes more like 2-3 pages.. oops) in this book. Great for keeping tabs on where your mind is, if you're into that sort of thing. Read more
