Review:This book hits home on so many levels. Some things I have already known for years but its giving me a positive attack to see things through! I will probably continue to buy this book over & over again to give as gifts to everyone I know! LOVE IT!! Read more

Review:Tal Gur in two words: intimidatingly cool.

The Art of Fully Living is a blend of memoir and self-improvement manual. Tal gave himself 100 goals and ten years to complete them, and his book not only chronicles his successes, but also shares the techniques he used to overcome the failures. Each chapter focuses on a single year – the Year of Socializing, the Year of Freedom, and so on – and follows his journey from Israel to Australia to New Zealand to South America and just about everywhere...

Review:Even with amusing illustrations, this is still a tough topic. As a former computer programmer, program analyst, etc., I was intrigued by the idea of an illustrated book on fallacious reasoning written by a programmer, but it's not as simple and easy as it sounds. The order of presentation of each of the fallacies was sometimes confusing in that some examples of faulty reasoning referenced in the explanations had not yet been introduced. Assumes readers have previous knowledge/familiarity with... Read more

Review:I can't remember if this used book seller described this book as "Good," "Very Good," or "Like New," but it's dirty around the edges and looks like it got wet and then dried. Very disappointed and might not buy any more used books. Read more

Review:For a book that supposedly addresses "the most meaningful answers to that great question", this is a huge disappointment. I really didn't find any meaningful answers in this book. Neither did I find any really meaningful questions, because the stories felt too much focused on the surface of people's lives. The author claims that a large percentage of the people whose stories he tells here are "devout" in terms of religion, but you'd never guess that from reading the stories. THere's barely a...

Review:This is such a great book. My boss introduced me to it and I have already read it twice. I may pick it up again this week since it's been a while. We give it to our customers as a gift and I know they come to love the story too. Anyone can relate t a person going on a retreat and not really being "in" to the concept of a retreat. Thru the story, you see this man come around to the discover of what leadership really is about. I highly recommend it for any age group or career background.

Review:I love this book, it's very interesting and fascinating! Every other sentence I'm nodding "wow, yeah that's true, I didn't see it that way!". This book offers a great insight into people's minds and hearts, and explains what the true drivers of happiness are. The elephant and the rider analogy completely makes sense. This book has made a difference in my life, I now look at things from a different viewpoint. The author's knowledge of biology, human anatomy, philosophy, psychology, sociology... Read more

Review:M. Gombrich as he claims in the introduction lets you relax and enjoy history and tries to connect the dots so that you remember the events.
At some points descriptions seem to be biased and mixed with opinions. Read more
