High-Fat Paleo Meals to Heal Your Body - Nutritious Low-Carb
High-Fat Paleo Meals to Heal Your Body - Nutritious Low-Carb

Review:Maria has done it again! This cookbook is even better than her others, which I wasn't sure was possible. I love the pictures and the easy to follow instruction and the handy nut free/dairy free indicators. She inserts busy family tips as well as how to make something dairy-free if needed. I have tried the tater tots, chai & raspberry fat bombs, cinnamon swirl cheesecake, and have more on the menu for this week! Read more

A Science-Based Plan to Lose Weight - and Invigorate Your Life
A Science-Based Plan to Lose Weight - and Invigorate Your Life

Review:I base all my book buying decisions on the Reviews I read. I have never seen reviews like this books reviews. People either love it or hate it. Based on the negative comments I will not get the book and will search out the other recommended books and see what their ratings are. I agree with the reader that said a majority of the book was to sell the book but if you already bought it....all that info is a waste of the readers time. Sounds like Naomi needs a book writing coach instead of the ... Read more

Why We Justify Foolish Beliefs - and Hurtful Acts
Why We Justify Foolish Beliefs - and Hurtful Acts

Review:If you want to understand why economists can't admit that their models are wrong, why we keep repeating the mistake of trying to solve Greece's debt burden by loaning it more money and imposing austerity measures, why the climate change debate is hardening into two opposed camps, and why most of our attempts to get people to change their minds with "evidence" almost always backfires , then this is a "must read".

If I had the power to make a book compulsory reading this would be on the lis... Read more

Trick or Treatment?: Alternative Medicine on Trial

Review:In Trick or Treatment: The Undeniable Facts About Alternative Medicine, Simon Singh and Edzard Ernst, M.D., set out to analyze the scientific literature on acupuncture, homeopathy, chiropractic, herbal medicine, and a host of other modalities of so-called alternative and complementary medicine. The book begins with a long, fascinating chapter about the history of medicine and the emergence of the modern, evidence-based approach to medicine--i.e., conventional, Western, or allopathic medicine. Th... Read more

Understanding How Good People Turn Evil - The Lucifer Effect
Understanding How Good People Turn Evil - The Lucifer Effect

Review:I must say I had high expectation for this book. Unfortunately, the 500 pages used to discuss Zimbardo's Stanford Prison Experiment and the underlying psychological principles behind "How Good People Become Evil" could have been condensed into 100-200 pages.

If, like me, you were looking forward to delving deep into the psychological aspects of this hypothesis I fear you may be disappointed. Read more

What Traumatized Children Can Teach Us about Loss - and Healing

Review:This book is very interesting and gives a good overview about identifying early childhood trauma.
What I am really missing in this book is the longterm perspective- what is the situation after 10-15 years - with or without treatment. Read more
