The New Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (A New Harbinger Self-Help Workbook)

Review:This really goes deep into your values and habits. I simply adore Dr. Hays and his work in ACT as it has helped me become a better helper to others. I recommend this book to anyone seeking more studies in ACT. This is a great toolbox item to have at the ready should you need a printable handout. Read more

A Doctor's Revolutionary Research into the Biology of Near-Death and Mystical Experiences
A Doctor's Revolutionary Research into the Biology of Near-Death and Mystical Experiences

Review:Great read about the effects of DMT. It's amazing what are bodies are made to do and heal if given the opportunity. Too bad we all can't increase our DMT and other natural chemicals to heal our body and rid the western civilization of unnecessary medicines. I love the insight and respectful thoughts this doctor makes in regards to one day making DMT more available for all. It also teaches that when taken properly, psychedelics can be our greatest hero, and explains the stigma that they have on o... Read more

The Art of Making and Marketing Work that Lasts - Perennial Seller
The Art of Making and Marketing Work that Lasts - Perennial Seller

Review:I absolutely loved Ryan's The Obstacle Is the Way, Ego Is the Enemy and The Daily Stoic (which is at least tied for first for my favorite book ever). (I also enjoyed Growth Hacker Marketing.) Ryan is far and away one of my favorite thinkers and writers. So, when I got an advanced copy, I knew I'd love it. And, I did.

As I read it I thought to myself: It's kinda like having a modern-day Seneca teach you how to "make and market" great work that lasts. :)

I found the book especially r... Read more

Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future - A Whole New Mind
Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future - A Whole New Mind

Review:Daniel Pink does a fantastic job describing the qualities needed to be successful in the conceptual age that we are currently in. Ironically, Pink uses many analytics to justify active exercise of right-brain senses to accompany typical left-brain dominance. Get ready to realize what you don't know! Read more

The Basic Handbook of Transactional Analysis. - Games People Play

Review:When "Games" first came out I had just worked for two senior Army officers whom I seriously thought might be crazy. "Games" provided powerful insight into their behaviors and I read the book completely through at least six times, and particular parts even more times. I got out of the Army expecting to find a more rational environment, but my first two civilian managers were exactly in the pattern only worse. I eventually realized that the four characters I had worked for were clinical psychop... Read more

How to Become the Alpha Male Women Respect - and Want to Submit To

Review:With enthusiasm I began reading this book. Immediately I soaked in all the information and began applying it in my daily life while interacting with the opposite sex and with the same sex. I noticed that others noticed a difference in me. My confidence exploded within days. I am currently communicating with 4 different women. As long as you do not abuse the hidden secrets in how to become a better man, you'll be fine. I highly recommend this book. I love this book, and I continue to study the bo... Read more

Bringing Your Boldest Self to Your Biggest Challenges
Bringing Your Boldest Self to Your Biggest Challenges

Review:When I began to read Presence I found myself suspecting that I was going to end up hating it. It felt like one of those self-help books stuffed with testimonials to make up for the lack of content. But I'm glad I persisted, because this is a book that grows in authority as it goes on. In the end, the testimonials come to feel like foundations to prepare the reader for their encounter with the deceptively simple insights, including those on the conscious use of posture, that Amy Cuddy's research ...

Everyone has an idea or creative endeavor that needs to be brought into fruition. This is the manifesto on how to do it! Read more

Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are?
Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are?

Review:Very interesting and very clear. My only criticism is that the author tends to go into the stupidities of the "other side," who see animals as unfeeling and as life-like automata, at more length than they merit. Read more
