Review:i have read tons of books on neuroscience, but found this one of the most enjoyable overall. David Eagleman also writes fiction and his ability as a writer is what really makes a difference. this book dealt with many subjects i have encountered before but the writing is more engaging and thus more memorable.

Review:Ok, some people think that writing pop science without being bombastic is impossible. Well, for all those people who think this way, and for all those scientists who produce bombastic nonsense and thus mislead the public about science, this book serves as a powerful reminder that it need not be that way. Popular science can be written honestly, and yet still engage the public's imagination. If you don't believe me, just give this book a try! Read more

Review:This book is a travesty. My mother read this book to me as a child and I remember even now how uncomfortable I felt seeing the illustrations. As a 30 year old woman I am appalled. This book is shockingly sexist, heteronormative, and outdated. It placates girls’ fears about their changing bodies by telling them their breasts and vaginas - whatever size and shape - are beautiful because they are attractive to men. The only sources the book cites are men, including a male doctor who claims tha... Read more

Review:My late partners mother is the textbook case of this disorder. The mood swings, controlling behavior, and out of control madness were very difficult for us to handle. We bought this book and couldn't put it down; even though it was very long we must have read it within a day or two. It was so validating for both of us to know that we were not doing anything to cause her horrendous behavior, and in that sense we couldn't control it, we could only do our best to set up boundaries and give her as l...

Review:I appreciate the book’s effort to use a scientific approach; however, I found two points to consider. First, this book combines the thoughts behind mindfulness, meditation, and law of attraction. At some point, I am not sure if they complement each other, but, I think the book was able to justify its goals. Second, I think as the title of the book is scientific or psychological, I was actually looking for some factual or scientific analysis in the book. Unfortunately, there is none. All in all, ...

Review:"When grandiose planning/strategizing" becomes an integral part of top executives' job spec. and the pursue of certainty is ingrained so deeply into whatever system we are in, the evolution trial and error mindset pitched by the author is destined to be neglected. Thanks to that, I can thrive "for years" as a professional trader whose success depends solely on the repeated and consistent failure of others. In case you feel for what I had just written, this book is for you."

Review:Susan P Thompson is amazing! I first found her last year - overweight and very frustrated that none of the many diets I had tried were successful on a long term basis. Susan spoke about the "badly behaving brain" and the science behind why "diets" are not successful long term for most people. Finally, someone made sense!! I signed up for the bootcamp and can say that so far I have eliminated 26 pounds! I am not at my goal yet, but I will get there... Now to have her book is a blessing for ... Read more

Review:I was really enjoying this book. I had purchased it with several other books to save on shipping costs. By the time I started reading it however, I was already past the return option date. I got to the middle of the book and discovered that an entire section of the book was REPEATED, (about 60 pages) and then after those erroneous pages it picked up as though the previous section was correct. After I got over being extremely angry, I tried to get help from Amazon with it, but it was too late. So... Read more

Review:BLACK PASSENGER YELLOW CABS: An Erotic Ethnographic MemoirThis book is worth reading if one would like to understand the psyche of the third world. I read the two reviews which this book has received and realized that they just don't get it. Maybe one has to have seen where Stefhen grew up and understand the incredible, sheer luck it took to crawl out of such a hole and be able to write a memoir of his experiences.Fi... Read more

Review:"The International College of Applied Kinesiology and its current and past two presidents, John Diamond and applied kinesiologists in general, as well as scientists and scientific skeptics, do not accept as workable Hawkins applied kinesiology." -Arjuna Aletheia, Secrets of David R.
