Review:In the Introduction, the author says this is not a Buddhist boo. However, the book is totally from a Buddhist perspective and quotes the Dalai Lamma and other Buddhist teachers extensively. The author himself is a Buddhist monk so I don't know why he tried to market this as a secular work.

Regardless, I found this book to be very helpful and reinforced much of what I have read in the field of cognitive therapy. Read more

Review:I await the next audiotapes by Peter Coyote on the Castaneda writings. I found his style of speaking perfect for how I image the conversations of Don Juan and Carlos. I rated the tape a number 8 because of the abrupt ending of the tape. I had to replay it twice to be sure that the tape wasn't damage. Also, It would be nice if the whole book was narrated, instead of the abridged portion of it. Read more

Review:It arrived in good time; however, the book listed is the one I wanted, not the one I got. I wanted the original editions Walter Kaufmann translated and edited as Kaufmann is THE expert on Nietzsche. I received a more modern version, translated and edited by R.J. Hollindale. Though he may have studied under Kaufmann, as Kaufmann is most likely Hollindale's "doctorvater", I did not wish for this.

Otherwise, book was in good condition. Simply false advertising. Read more

Review:See at first I truly thought that this was simply another boring book, you know the kind that you get tired of reading. But as I began to read it I realized it was more of a play. The ply is based on real world situations and I as a teenager do und it to be very good and somewhat outstanding.
To those who enjoy role play or acting this is the book for you nd believe me it was worth the money. The characters were believable and once you pick up the book you simply do not want to put it down...... Read more

Review:"Fences" has become an undisputed classic of American theater. One of the famous "Pittsburgh Cycle" plays by August Wilson, it focuses on a slice of African-American life in a particular decade. The yard of Troy Maxson, set somewhere in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, sets the scene. The year is 1957, a time when some opportunities begin opening up for African-Americans - at least in some parts of the country. Racial tensions still raged throughout the US, especially in the south. In that same year, s... Read more

Review:This is the best book there is on understanding men and women, imho. In a very simple way the author shows just how different men and women think, percieve infomration coming from the opposite sex, explain why and what would be a better approach. Plain and simple, soooooo to the root cause and point!
He gives a situation, for example, something being said, then shows how the man hears it and how the woman hears it. When i'd read the man's side I'd be thinking hmm this is weird, but then I'd r... Read more

so enlightening. Oh gosh... while reading it I could stop thinking "that is so true".. ... I felt very grateful to have Mr. Michaelsen email me.

Review:This Modern Library edition is gorgeously printed and well-annotated with invaluable critical notes that will make the work vastly more accessible to the average person while providing useful background to others. I would have preferred it to have included Paradise Regained, however, as I think it's an important companion to the work. Those with more of an interest in literary criticism or who wish to more vigorously digest and dissect the poem would be advised to steer themselves towards the No... Read more

Review:I've been struggling with Russian for about 4 years now. Started learning it during high school by writing down word lists I wanted to know, reading an old textbook I bought online. LingQ gave me some good success, Assimil too, but I was still pretty far from being anywhere notable. I read this book and used its methods for about 6 months, and with the magic of flashcards I was able to really focus on the areas in which I was lacking. Anywho, I decided to sign up for a Russian class at my univer... Read more

Review:This is an interesting read .. Definetly a departure from normal le Carre writing. It is a bit arcane and rambling. However as a reader and owner of all of his novels, I needed to read this book. You can read a chapter here and there. I have not finished it although I've had it for several weeks. It will be several more til it's done. Still a good addition to my library. Read more
