Toilet Training in Less Than a Day
Toilet Training in Less Than a Day

Review:I've now used this method/book to potty train two of my children. It really works and it works fast! My pediatrician was the one who initially recommended it to me. This book is not a light read--it's real info based on research and trials so it may take a little while to get through it. I'd start at least a month before you wish to have the potty training day so you can read, review, gather supplies, and prepare yourself. It's pretty exhausting for mom (as other reviewers have said) but it's wo... Read more

The Memory Palace: A Memoir
The Memory Palace: A Memoir

Review:I finished reading this book last night, and I've been thinking of it all day, having read it with full engagement over a week. It affected me increasingly, the more deeply I read into it. Most of all, it's an honestly felt memoir, in which the author Mira's fear of, and inability to live, near here mentally ill mother Norma, leads her to make many life choices that would otherwise be unexplainable. All the settings--Cleveland for much of the book, where I happened to also grow up--are extremel... Read more

Hardcore Self Help: F**k Anxiety (Volume 1)
Hardcore Self Help: F**k Anxiety (Volume 1)

Review:This is a great, hilarious, but also helpful book. Being a therapist myself, I found his approach particularly awesome. He uses aspects of CBT and DBT to get his message out about "kicking anxiety's ass" and dealing with having a "douchebag brain." I loved his "talking to a friend " language. I highly recommend this book for people dealing with anxiety but also depression, as well as fellow therapists. Quite enjoyed it! Read more

Help and Healing for Mothers of Estranged Adult Children

Review:This book was so helpful to me as I tried to make sense of estrangement from my daughter.

The Science and Philosophy of Meditation and Enlightenment
The Science and Philosophy of Meditation and Enlightenment

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
