Review:I heard about this book from a friend and decided to check it out...I would have used his but there was writing everywhere!!

Secondly, the information was very clear and I loved that the author used very appropriate bits of wisdom fr... Read more

The Sandman, Vol. 4: Season of Mists
The Sandman, Vol. 4: Season of Mists

Review:As with its predecessors, Season of Mists is intellectual, tinged with wry humor, old myths long forgotten, and even philosophy (though expertly hidden).
It opens with Destiny and a beautiful description of his realm. He soon after calls a 'family meeting', the first one they'd had in quite some time. This triggers a chain of events (one event in particular) that, more or less, make up the whole novel.
This novel challenges common belief about heaven, hell, death, souls and everything in b... Read more

The Art of Creating a Life While Making a Living - The Monk and the Riddle
The Art of Creating a Life While Making a Living - The Monk and the Riddle

Review:Written in the "olden days" of the Internet (i.e. late 1990s), Randy Komisar's "The Monk and the Riddle" is a classic with a timeless message: there's a fundamental difference between passion and drive. The latter is what propels type A personalities to succeed at anything they undertake. The former is more visceral and personal; it is something that you genuinely love and would be happy "to do for the rest of your life."

Komisar, my good friend and mentor (full disclosure), conveys his... Read more

and Do Work That Matters - Punch Fear in the Face

Review:This book is the most honest, real-world, practical guide to starting something new, or restarting something you have always wanted to do, that I have ever read. Acuff's honesty about his own journey to his "awesome" is refreshing, and gives me hope that one day I will be finding mine as well. Read more

What Should I Do with My Life the true story of people who answered the ultimate question 2003 hardback

Review:For a book that supposedly addresses "the most meaningful answers to that great question", this is a huge disappointment. I really didn't find any meaningful answers in this book. Neither did I find any really meaningful questions, because the stories felt too much focused on the surface of people's lives. The author claims that a large percentage of the people whose stories he tells here are "devout" in terms of religion, but you'd never guess that from reading the stories. THere's barely a...

Discover the Perfect Career for You Through the Secrets of Personality Type
Discover the Perfect Career for You Through the Secrets of Personality Type

Review:Very helpful book! Understanding your personality type is very insightful for many things. And with career, invaluable. This book helped me understand the kind of environment and conditions that best suit me. Also, I was able to use much of the info for job seeking and interviewing (such as better knowing my strengths and weaknesses). I've looked at many "figure out your right career track" books, tests, etc. and they've mostly been crap and gained me nothing. This book is the exception. ... Read more
