Review:Oh, my god, my house is like a non-stop self-help convention. The rotating cast of literary works cluttering my sofa is nauseating. I'm like "Baby, you're perfect, you can't improve on this model." She's all "You need to allow yourself to change! You're stifling yourself and by extension me! You're just like your father." Pshaw, whatever that means, back to XBox. Read more
Review:It was an interesting read but the authors' perception of libertarian paternalism stretches the definition of libertarian too far in my opinion. I did not find their policy targets to be especially interesting as subjects for discussion. They are far too timid. zZzzZZ What about choice architecture on my taxes? I would like to be able to opt out. But, this would not have made it through the editorial censors ("liberal" fascist ideology)
I was also annoyed with their incessant use of femin... Read more
Review:I bought this book in the last year of a 3 year unemployment stretch, I was lost. I wanted to change something. Guess what, I didn't read it. I recently got a great job, but in an industry unrelated to everything I've ever done. I love the job, but found myself lost, yet happy and learning as I go along. I finally read this on my way back from company meetings and it's elevated my level on the playing field to a way of thinking that not many people seem to utilize... lets just say "my eyes are o...

Review:I have a four year old son with speech delay. His speech teacher told us that they were working on labeling and identifying actions at school. Based on reviews, I thought this book would help him practice labeling and identifying actions at home.
As soon as I opened this book, I knew I made the right decision. He was very responsive and enjoying every single page. (Maybe the teacher is already using this book at the school. I should've asked..)
Overall, this is very good for connec... Read more
Review:I agree with all the author was saying about retirement. It's a time to reinvent yourself and pursue hobbies, or even new careers. The author proves that one does not need $500,00 in an IRA to retire. Ernie's book shows the way to enjoyment of life!!! Read more
Review:A deeply personal and professionally enlightening account of survival and liberation. A book anybody troubled with sorrow and/or anger, an overly critical and negative self image can learn from. It’s honest and compelling with a lot to teach us all how to be better human beings. Read more
Review:Not only is this a practical and informative introduction to the relavant dynamics of the Enneagram, but it is done with pastoral care and theological integrity. I would recommend this book to anyone who would like to learn how they try to leverage their strengths to secure God's love which cannot be earned; only received. Beware: the self-discovery is painful at first, but when put under the blessing that God already accepts our underbellies, transformation will result. Read more

Review:Not a bad book for someone with a medical background to use as a review. Also good to give ideas for improvisation in off grid situation. Would strongly recommend William Forgey's book,"Wilderness Medicine",and the Hesperian Foundation's book, "Where there is no Doctor" as foundation works. They have not failed me in real world situations. Read more
