And Other Ways Our Intuitions Deceive Us - The Invisible Gorilla
And Other Ways Our Intuitions Deceive Us - The Invisible Gorilla

Review:A very insightful book. You walk away with an understanding of how illusions of reality are formed in our minds. The writer has thoroughly documented his presentation. However, I found the detailed case descriptions to be a bit more elaborate than I was interested in, so I had to skim through them to get to the next eye-opening concept. Read more

Behind Closed Doors at the Playboy Mansion - Bunny Tales
Behind Closed Doors at the Playboy Mansion - Bunny Tales

Review:I recently bought this book hoping to find out what really happens behind the walls of the Playboy Mansion. It was promoted as a tell all of all the sex stories that went on at the Playboy mansion and what stars were doing what. THIS WAS NOT SO.
What a waste of time reading this. DON'T Waste your money on this. Most of the book is a self-ego, narcissistic bio of Isabella, and how she is so much better than everyone, how she didn't sleep with anyone, and all about her going to law school.

Review:I have lived my parenting life suffused with guilt over the times I have hurt my daughter's feelings with yelling, demands and recriminations over her behavior.

A Workbook for Clients and Clinicians - The CBT Toolbox
A Workbook for Clients and Clinicians - The CBT Toolbox

Review:I was disappointed to find this book so repetitive in nature. There are about 10 core interventions presented, but very little that feels new, or particularly tailored to each concern addressed. I was also irritated by a noticeable number of typos, grammar and punctuation errors present in the text, the worksheets and the diagrams/illustrations.
Finally, I was very surprised to find extensive references to Christian faith throughout the book. If this works for you and your clients, great; if ... Read more

The Amazing Power of Deliberate Intent, Part I
The Amazing Power of Deliberate Intent, Part I

Review:For me, someone familiar with Abraham's work - this was a disappointment. I had no idea it consisted of little vignettes and I was not really interested in reading them. I have it back up for sale. For a newbie to Abraham, this may be a great book - just not for a more experienced reader. I recommend Ask and it is Given, which I also bought and enjoyed. Read more

Neuroplasticity and the Power of Mental Force - The Mind and the Brain
Neuroplasticity and the Power of Mental Force - The Mind and the Brain

Review:This book makes two controversial points; that we as humans have free will (the less controversial), that we humans have a mind (soul) that is connected to but seperate from our physical brain. It does a great job with the first point, and a pretty good job with the second (which is part of the reason I give it a 5/5)

In the sciences today there is a trend towards academic fatalism (the belief that we as people don't really have freewill but are the victims of our genes and upbringing).Read more
