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!! The first thing I loved about it was that It made me feel like I wasn't just being told what to do/what's right/what's wrong...it really made me think about my personal situation and how I can apply the advice to different aspects of my life in my own, tailored way. Secondly, the information was very clear and I loved that the author used very appropriate bits of wisdom fr... Read more

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

It will demyystify the reason behind his huge success in the Presidential primary.

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
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
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...

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
