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:"The Unthinkable" logically deconstructs disasters and examines who survives and who doesn't. It provides a fantastic framework for examining risks in your life, and thinking about how best to surive these risks. It is not a doomsday book about stockpiling food in your basement bunker, but instead deals with a way to think about these situations beforehand, so that you will be better mentally prepared.
The book is well-written, and I had trouble putting it down. My wife is currently re... Read more

Review:This book has been absolutely great. I appreciate the detailed framework but it doesn't bog you down. I use it in combination with the free app Duolingo and feel like I've made 11/2 years progress in 6 months.
On the CD they speak slowly, clearly and pause for you to practice between each word. I continue to go back and brush up or jump ahead if I need grammar help for Duolingo. Read more
Review:"Vagabonding" is an innovative, inspirational, intellectual, thought-provoking read. But it is also practical and the ideas entailed are approachable and logical. It exceeded my expectations by far and away. I purchased the book for a friend, and after reading it was loathe to part with it. I'm purchasing another for myself.
The book is loading with practical advice; Rolf Potts also puts a fresh spin on worldview in general and on life's specific conundrums, pleasures, and problems--all from ... Read more
Review:Not your ordinary how-to guide at all. Chuck Wendig kept me laughing as he pointed out the numerous pitfalls on the writer's path. Every penmonkey and aspiring penmonkey should read this, even if you've already read a thousand guides for writers -- the hilarious asides and examples are moca-fudge frosting on a big old chocolate cake of good advice.
Note: There is a bit of bad language, so if you can't stand curse words... well, you'll be missing out. Read more
Review:An overall enjoyable book that presents a selective view of American history. As all authors he picks and chooses his source material and provides a meaningful exercise in detecting liberal bias however subtle. A lood read but caveat emptor if you are looking for an unbiased work. Read more
Review:'A fascinating look at the follies of mankind regarding conflict and wars. As I read the book I regretted that Ms. Tuchman was not around to observe the ultimate folly of Iraq and Afghanistan. Following the tragedy of 911 when the powers that be decided that the country needed to go to war in Iraq despite the fact that the real culprits of the attack were located in Afghanistan. This seemed to me to be ultimate folly.
At forest I had a hard time figuring out why Ms. Tuchman chose the th... Read more
