Review:I learned so much about death and dying from this wonderful book. These nurses really know what they are talking about and have the experience to back it up. I see the process so differently now...they are different ways to understand what dying people are saying. They are not necessarily delusional, they are expressing themselves in a symbolic way. It is a language that can be learned. Read it NOW for you will someday be in a place to need this information. Read more

Review:Both easy to read and informative. I'm approaching this issue in my family, so it helps to be aware of the many issues I may have to deal with before too long. Being prepared will make the journey less overwhelming. Read more

Review:For those skeptical of supernatural claims and theistic versions of Buddhism, Robert Wright continues the quest that his earlier books such as The Moral Animal and The Evolution of God began. These titles hint at Wright's terrain, where fact and speculation, the tangible and the experiential, blur. He explores in Why Buddhism Is True the worldview that in the time of the historical Buddha, could not have been clearly expressed in pre-scientific, and very pre-Darwinian terms to human mindsets.Read more

Review:Hisham Matar's memoir of his return to Libya after an absence of 30 years in an attempt to determine the fate of his father is a wonderfully written and moving read that's part mystery and part conflicted homage to a country and a man absent from Matar's life for many years. Matar--a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award and Man Booker Prize for the equally wonderful (and no doubt inspired by these events) "In the Country of Men"--writes with a the passion and insistent inquiries ...

Review:Timeless wisdom

The same conversations that saturate and permeate our media, our lives, our relationships were happening hundreds of years ago. The same human condition. The same questions. A beautiful book. Read more

Review:This book is spectacular, but advertised as containing audio version as well. The end of the book has a chapter called "Link to free audio recording of Seneca's Letters." The chapter just says "The Letters of Seneca," with no link. The text is not live either, so it's not like you touch it and it goes to the link in question. Read more

Review:I got into Ryan Holiday as an author after reading 'Ego Is The Enemy '. I read a couple more of his books and they were interesting , educational and to some degree enlightening . This new book was nothing more than of a short story turned long . My old marketing professor would have circled in red chapter after chapter and written " Tautology " over and over taking this book from the authors idea of getting an A to the professors C+ .
It was and is a needless repetition of the same idea . W... Read more

Review:I find myself reading and retreading this book, just like her later works. I love her delivery of information and expression of feeling, which is always slightly removed and analytical while paradoxically being heartfelt. Read more

Review:The lessons of history recorded for us by Sollzhenitzn are pertinent to this generation, long after the fall of the Soviet Union. The same kinds of oppression arise over and over in various times and places. We were blessed to have this great author and true prophet here for some years. He has left a record for us and a warning in his address at Harvard (?) years ago when he predicted the kind of cultural and moral decline we have been experiencing and urged our nation to take responsibility to ...
