Relentless: From Good to Great to Unstoppable
Relentless: From Good to Great to Unstoppable

Review:This is a book that is not for everyone. This is as true as the fact that Tim Grover's teachings and program are not for every athlete. However, if you are now doing well but want to raise your game or business to another level, you cannot lose reading this book. I recently finished the book and have started reading it again. It is all about getting yourself into a zone of focus and determination to be the best you can be. If you are doing well but know that you have room to improve and grow, Ti... Read more

The Untold Story of Maui's Sugar Ditch Kids and Their Quest for Olympic Glory
The Untold Story of Maui's Sugar Ditch Kids and Their Quest for Olympic Glory

Review:Interesting parts, especially to a Hawaiian resident. Insights into the life of the plantation families. Liked the reaction to the youngsters as they were on the cruise ship and also how they were received on the mainland. Story of courage and determination. WAY TOO MUCH DETAIL that did not add to the story. Needed better editing. Read more

The Turbulent True Story of a First Year at Harvard Law School
The Turbulent True Story of a First Year at Harvard Law School

Review:Unlike my law school classmates, I did not read this prior to law school. I'm glad I did not. I was already terrorized by the rumors. Had I read this, I might very well have "tucked tail and ran." It is very accurate. Nevertheless, I encourage future law students to read so that they'll have no illusions. Along these lines, just know that the first year comes to an end -- it too shall pass. Few achievements in my life make me feel as confident as having made it through the 1st year of law schoo...

Men in Green

Review:Very entertaining, amusing, engaging, and insightful book. Bamberger is one of the best golf writers going. This book is about the old school guys. Hopefully he's got one in the works about the Young Guns. Read more

The National Parks: America's Best Idea
The National Parks: America's Best Idea

Review:A good Ken Burns view of our National Parks. Lots of how they came to be and what's there. But not really meant to be a tourist's guide. I think a good book to read before going but not necessarily a guide as to what to see. Nevertheless a good reference about one of the US most profound uses of its land, something that does not happen in any other country or continent, rivaled only by Africa Read more

The Day the Game of Golf Changed Forever - The Match
The Day the Game of Golf Changed Forever - The Match

Review:Wonderfully-written book about a 1956 match play event, in the waning days of amateur golf as talent-equivalent to professional golf. If you love golf, and want to get to know Byron Nelson and Ben Hogan behind the scenes, you need to read this! Read more

My Stories (Commemorative Edition) - A Life Well Played
My Stories (Commemorative Edition) - A Life Well Played

Review:I just received this book two days ago, but I am half-way through it. I have always admired Arnold Palmer, and the book is just as down to earth as he always appeared. I ordered two copies, one for me and one for my golfer son. Read more

A Psychological and Emotional Guide To Thru-Hike the Appalachian Trail (Volume 1)
A Psychological and Emotional Guide To Thru-Hike the Appalachian Trail (Volume 1)

Review:Should be called "Appalachian Scam."Bunch of drivel. This guy at a young age hikes the AT and now knows all there is to know. Cannot stand his approach of putting tons of pressure on yourself to complete it so you don't have to do the "walk of shame." What a bunch of crap. Save your money Read more

Review:Very good product. Bought this for my daughter at Christmas. She was 10 years old at the time and now is 11. Months later, she still enjoys doing her nails, using the designs in this book. Not sure about the quality of the polish, but that's not the point. Buy this for the instructions and ideas. 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
