Unbearable Lightness: A Story of Loss and Gain
Unbearable Lightness: A Story of Loss and Gain

Review:Like others, I bought this book after seeing Miss de Rossi on Oprah. I'd liked her character on Ally McBeal, and I love Ellen, so those were two reasons to consider it.

The book grabbed me from page one. I was mesmerized by her accounting of bulimia and anorexia, and couldn't believe that she could continue to function on so few calories! I found myself thinking about her unsettled life well after I put the book down.

I do wish, however, that she had described her childhood a li... Read more

The New Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (A New Harbinger Self-Help Workbook)

Review:This really goes deep into your values and habits. I simply adore Dr. Hays and his work in ACT as it has helped me become a better helper to others. I recommend this book to anyone seeking more studies in ACT. This is a great toolbox item to have at the ready should you need a printable handout. Read more

and Train Your Brain for Happiness and Success - Take Back Your Power

Review:Amy shares her vulnerability and the steps she took to overcome tremendous challenges in her life. As I read through many of the things on the list I find myself nodding my head over and over as I can identify so closely with much of what she says.

The book includes tips and ideas for overcoming habits that might be holding you back. I was honored to interview Amy on our podcast and find her very authentic and passionate about her work. Read more

The Basic Handbook of Transactional Analysis. - Games People Play
The Basic Handbook of Transactional Analysis. - Games People Play

Review:When "Games" first came out I had just worked for two senior Army officers whom I seriously thought might be crazy. "Games" provided powerful insight into their behaviors and I read the book completely through at least six times, and particular parts even more times. I got out of the Army expecting to find a more rational environment, but my first two civilian managers were exactly in the pattern only worse. I eventually realized that the four characters I had worked for were clinical psychop... Read more

The Fringe Benefits of Failure and the Importance of Imagination
The Fringe Benefits of Failure and the Importance of Imagination

Review:J.K. Rowling's commencement address to Harvard graduates is filled with humor, compassion and insight. In a world that defines success in oppressively narrow terms, her message about the importance of failure and imagination in our lives is incredibly poignant. Read more

Release the Beliefs That Hold You Back from Living A Better Life

Review:After reading this book I scoped other people's points of view and this girl Lori nailed it. Please read this. It's perfectly said.

Gabby and her husband nicknamed “Hollywood” are about branding, not spirituality.

- But if you're one of those rich girls she peddles to, whose on a "spiritual journey" so your parents pay your rent or triggered at the idea of getting a real job, this book is a perfect fit for you.

Who Survives When Disaster Strikes - The Unthinkable
Who Survives When Disaster Strikes - The Unthinkable

Review:"The Unthinkable" logically deconstructs disasters and examines who survives and who doesn't. It provides a fantastic framework for examining risks in your life, and thinking about how best to surive these risks. It is not a doomsday book about stockpiling food in your basement bunker, but instead deals with a way to think about these situations beforehand, so that you will be better mentally prepared.

The book is well-written, and I had trouble putting it down. My wife is currently re... Read more

An FBI Profiler Shows You How to Identify and Protect Yourself from Harmful People
An FBI Profiler Shows You How to Identify and Protect Yourself from Harmful People

Review:I bought this book for my own information and also to share with family members. Although we recognize people with these traits, it's great to be able to evaluate personality types and to educate ourselves on those around us who make us feel uncomfortable. While we may not know too many people who fall into the extreme range, it helps to evaluate our fellow man, if only to understand who or what we are up against. Read more
