Review:Research and getting out to those of us outside academically is a gift for sure. It helps to know we aren't all as far along as we think with the unconscious ethnocentric wiring we come into this world with. And that cultural change is slow. That said, those who choose to be participants in academic research may not always be representative of the rest of the diverse multicultural populations exploding in the US and elsewhere. Read more

Review:As my doctor says, this is the future of medical thinking. It makes complete sense and is a reminder of really how basic our systems are. Of course they are infinitely complex but the concepts are so logical. This should be required reading for anyone in medicine as well as anyone who wants to understand how to keep our bodies working as they were designed to. Note that this book complements another worthy read: Farmacology by Daphne Miller, M.D. Read more

Review:Haruki Murakami's memoir on running and writing is a thoughtful collection of reminiscences about the two activities that the author has dedicated his life to. The book covers about 1-1/2 years of Murakami's life, from mid-2005 to late-2006, with flashbacks to earlier years when he was a bar owner and aspiring writer in Tokyo. The narrative moves smoothly from chapter to chapter, covering various aspects of the author's training regimen, races, and recovery. His companion through all of the l... Read more

Review:"The Art of Loving" is a masterful work by Erich Fromm. His broad-minded scope on the human condition is such a breath of fresh air, especially in today's society. I really enjoyed how he linked capitalism to the failure to love, which is extremely true. In fact, I would like to expound upon the notion that capitalism kills (and is currently killing) love.

I've always been vehemently against polyamory and open relationships. After reading "The Art of Loving," it suddenly dawned on me that... Read more

Review:This book helps to give you perspective on all the changes your baby is going to go through. It gives reason to the sudden mood changes and promises that they aren't forever. It's not a baby 101 but a really great companion read. Read more

Review:i just couldn't get into this book. The nearly daily activities were overwhelming for the tired first trimester. And after that i found other resources and ways to journal for baby and pray for him. A neat idea, but the devotions were shallow and the growth information is the same as all the emails one can subscribe to. Read more

Review:It's positive but not realistic advice. Things need to be felt. Saying this is for my for my benefit and smiling through pain is not healing anything. At the end he says to start with small things, because if you apply his philosophy to big things it doesn't make sense. Growing from a situation or making the best out of a situation is one thing, but saying everything that happens is the best possible thing that could happen doesn't sit well with me. Somethings but not everything. Read more

Review:Simply put it is not a life altering or even a significant thought provoking literature. The most useful part is a guide to local TM centers near you where you can pay around $1000 to really, really learn TM in 4 short lessons. Can you say “Sales pitch” Read more

Review:Summary: You should go.
Only stay if you can get your partner to change. Which of course is impossible. So better leave your "relationship".
What is completely missing that I expected? Any guide to do a cost-benefit analysis of both choices. If you are only dating and you are miserable, this book might prevent you from jumping into an unhealthy marriage. But if you are married and/or have children already, the consequences of leaving are severe and have a lifelong impact on multiple people... Read more
