Review:Shawn Achor is a brilliant guy. His research and work hold both an insightful and refreshing view of the world. I'm a fairly optomistic and hopeful person. His book provided me with an even greater roadmap to a more productive and positive way of life, both at home and in the workplace.

It can only improve your life. M... Read more
Review:This book is worth every good word written about it. It reads well and spends time on its characters, developing them fully. This is a credible book on war and shows us how personal and terrible war really is and how political. I enjoyed reading this book and will look for other books by Anton Myrer. Read more

Review:Zig Ziglar lives on in his wonderful guide to life..."See You at the Top"...I had the good fortune to take the Zig Ziglar "I Can" course in 1985, and this book was used throughout the course. It's not just a self-help book, but a guide to a new way of thinking and living! I am truly a better person, look at things more positively, and take life one day at a time. I have given this book to friends and associates many times. A must read you will re-read over and over again!! Read more
