Mini Habits: Smaller Habits, Bigger Results
Mini Habits: Smaller Habits, Bigger Results

Review:I am a big believer in developing habits and I believe in small steps (mini habits) grow into bigger better habits. Author talks too much about himself and not enough about how to do it. It's OK but I have had other books that have motivated me much more. Read more

What I Talk About When I Talk About Running - A Memoir (Vintage International)
What I Talk About When I Talk About Running - A Memoir (Vintage International)

Review:Haruki Murakami's memoir on running and writing is a thoughtful collection of reminiscences about the two activities that the author has dedicated his life to. The book covers about 1-1/2 years of Murakami's life, from mid-2005 to late-2006, with flashbacks to earlier years when he was a bar owner and aspiring writer in Tokyo. The narrative moves smoothly from chapter to chapter, covering various aspects of the author's training regimen, races, and recovery. His companion through all of the l... Read more

From Head to Toe Board Book
From Head to Toe Board Book

Review:I have a four year old son with speech delay. His speech teacher told us that they were working on labeling and identifying actions at school. Based on reviews, I thought this book would help him practice labeling and identifying actions at home.

As soon as I opened this book, I knew I made the right decision. He was very responsive and enjoying every single page. (Maybe the teacher is already using this book at the school. I should've asked..)

Overall, this is very good for connec... Read more

The Smart Way to Stretch and Strengthen Your Body

Review:I have been in the fitness industry for 20 yrs as a fitness instructor/Personal Trainer/Sports Nutrition. This system was the answer I was looking for, I teach almost evey formats you might know in a Group Fitness Class setting. Sometimes teaching several classes a day.

Life Lessons from Navy SEAL Training - From Fathers to Sons
Life Lessons from Navy SEAL Training - From Fathers to Sons

Review:This is the first review I have ever written. Normally I am the one who reads others reviews but never leaves one myself. This time I feel compelled to give my opinion because I am not a father or a male. I am female, newly married and trying to have kids. I know this book is entitled Raising Men and is geared towards fathers but I read it anyways.

I am giving it 5 stars because it doesn’t just to speak to men or how to raise sons . It is easy to apply most of what Eric says to raisin... Read more

Teachings of the Founder of Aikido - The Art of Peace

Review:Just fantastic. I felt like my brain was being elevated simply by reading these glorious words. The attached CD really is a nice addition to the book - I listen to it during my commute to work and it makes me cry! That is how beautiful Morihei Ueshiba's thoughts are!! Read more

Why We Expect More from Technology and Less from Each Other
Why We Expect More from Technology and Less from Each Other

Review:I started reading this book with great excitement as I often wonder about what impact technology is having on me. The book is basically divided into two parts, one talks about human robot interaction and the other humans and net/phone interaction. The are pages after pages of descriptions of what children think of interaction with robots and there are tons of descriptions of how teenagers use Facebook and texting. I don't think the author needs to list every single interview she ever conducted t... Read more

Walking the Path of Norse Paganism - Essential Asatru
Walking the Path of Norse Paganism - Essential Asatru

Review:Yet another Asatru book that only covers the VERY basics, and yet another book on Asatru that is trying to liberalize the religion. What this book represents is about one step away from "Norse Wicca".

As you may or may not know, the media, including book publishers tend to be very liberal. Asatru tends to be very conservative. If you want a liberal "new age" or neo-pagan religion there are plenty of them, Wicca being the main one as well as many new age books etc. The problem is few publi... Read more

Facing Violence: Preparing for the Unexpected
Facing Violence: Preparing for the Unexpected

Review:Finding this book was very timely. Since being the recipient of an verbal assault with a provocation toward physical violence by an individual outside of a moving theater 2 years ago, I've wondered what the "right thing" to do was? Try to have a conversation with the fellow? Have a smart, verbal response? Fight? Flee? or Freeze? That incident opened a series of conversations with friends and peers related to the illusion, perhaps even myth, of peaceful life in this culture, or any historical cul... Read more
