Review:Burkeman takes the reader easily and satisfyingly through his thoughts about how to live a good life, and indeed about whether or not we have a 'self'. He is up front about his reactions to his ideas, and self deprecating about his very human inability to live with his conclusions. This is an enjoyable and believable account, and as a result of reading the book I subscribe to his blog. Read more

Review:Sometimes just looking at something cute can make us happier. This book is cute – flipping through the pages, reading the myriad of happy ques – you can’t help but feel a little inspired, get ready for some introspection, and highlight the high points of you and your day. I like it – happy, happy, happy.

Review:One thing that is sure about this is that it was written with heart and soul. Apart from the fact that the author really absorbs himself into his writing, it is clear that he knows something about becoming loving and open minded. I must warn you, for those that prefer to stay away from religion, there is some referencing of the Bible and Christianity. I however, was totally fine with that. In any case, the book was written warmth will benefit the many of you. It does have great points. Read more

Review:This book helps show the impact having an addicted parent influences our lives years after leaving home. Also her advice on how to overcome resulting behaviors and attitudes due to having lived in an addictive environment, was very useful Read more

Review:Gives a short and very basic bit of info on the types of reading and only general information about what a high reading or a low reading could mean. Doesn't say how high or low. Not detailed at all, leaves the reader guessing. Read more

Review:The book is a bit dated of course as it was written in the 1970's, but the material and the presentation appeared to be timeless. I had never read much by Dr. Sagan prior to reading this and this was a great introduction to his clear thinking and writing style. His theories on anthropology will remain current but it was humorous to read of new computer games, such as Pong and Space Wars. Read more

Review:It's alright. There isn't that many cool "expirements" you can do that you never really knew to begin with. My son is 1 now and I only actually tried about 10 of the expirements mentioned. This is more of a gift you would get for a new dad who doesn't know anything about babies. He would think this is the most amazing book ever, and you would seem like the coolest friend! Read more

Review:This book is great! Really does keep the drama at a very low level. In forty years of teaching, I have slowly come to these ideas, which are so well articulated and explained in this very readable book. Illustrations are a bit strange (comic drawings illustrating choices, good and bad, that parents make), but are helpful in illustrating concepts. So glad I purchased this book, and I recommend it often! Read more

Review:The book drags a bit and nothing really grasps my attention to want to keep reading. Everytime you think you are about to get some advice you get "as you continue to read this book you will hear my advice for this type of situation"...so you continue to read but that advice never really comes?? I don't know...still reading. If you are looking for a self help book I guess its not so bad. Read more
