Review:I can barely put this book down, it's so fascinating. Ironic though that I'm sucked in reading about people being productive, because after 20 minutes of browsing I certainly haven't achieved many of my own goals. I will say that it's the best bathroom reading book ever. Pick it up and flip through, read one or two rituals, and you're out of there. If at some point in the future I die and you're one of my biographers reading this, you totally have permission to say one of my rituals was reading ... Read more

Review:This book is ok. I've had it for a while and still haven't finished it.
I found it bit "medical" and speaks more than I thought necessary about the brain functions such as the hippocampus, amygdala, etc. Read more

Review:This is a superb book with an audacious goal – what can organizations and their leaders learn from other organizations like Zappos, Pixar, the New Zealand All-Blacks, the San Antonio Spurs, and SEAL Team Six, to name just a few? And if not quite scientific, the methodology Coyle employs is an objective and heartfelt search for pattern.

I admit that I bought this book with a fair amount of skepticism. Having spent four decades attempting to lead organizations in one capacity or another I h... Read more

Review:I just read this book, and it changed my world views on a lot of stuff. As an example, he talks about CONTROLLING your space, and he gives an example of someone who wants a better career. She brings home stuff to read, and it never gets looked at. Why? Because she designed her space to be a HUGE entertainment center. 65" Monitor, sound systems, subscriptions to NETFLIX and HBO right there in the main living space. He explains that all this entertainment is there by DEFAULT, she could not avoid i... Read more

Review:The author is apparently a narcissist by all means. The whole book smells like that all your ordinary people are stupid and she is the very God that can save you. I don't know how she manages to enjoy such a tired life so many years. Like the cruise example in chapter 10, her suggestions about all those questions to ask the trip organizer, i.e. the lady in the church, reflect extreme self-center personality and lack of social skills. They don't even care whether she would go or not, just being p... Read more

Review:Super frustrated because the distribution says it comes with the COGLAB which I need for my class. We are poor enough and strapped for time already being in college. The last thing we need is "trusted" sites like this taking advantage of us. Make the description clearer. I will be returning this. Read more

Review:I have to admit I have not completed the book but almost -I liked the clear, friendly language - and the ability to categorize the different types of emotional abuse, and in many cases, what is behind it. Read more

Review:I hesitated between three and four stars, but decided to give it four. I have read everything Oliver Sacks has ever written, and _Seeing Voices_ is one of my favorite books. However, I found this book less engaging than nearly all of his previous works. I enjoyed the new case studies, but I felt somehow that I had already read the same information in his previous books. The exception to this is his first-person narrative of his own experience with his changing sight, which was a somewhat jarring... Read more

Review:Science writing is not an easy job. And that is particularly why this book succeeds at two levels - content & lucidity.

Dr. Ramchandran is a very erudite man. But read this book & you'll find all the esoteric concepts of neuroscience are well within your grasp. Dr. Ramchandran visits & revisits the various parts of the brain & its interconnections in just about every discourse in this book, & by the time you're finished reading it, you'll have a good general idea of ho...

Review:Didn't fully understand the meaning behind it being an mp3, although the packaging said it played like a CD. Only, it doesn't. Stuck it in my player and I hear nothing. Not their fault I guess but I wish the packaging had been a little more clear. Read more
