How to Win Friends & Influence People 627 reviews
Dale Carnegie
Pocket, 1998
Never too old to learn
I 'had' to read this book years ago and it didn't 'sink' in much...boy I wish I had paid attention to the sage advice. It is just as relevant today as when it was written. The advice given in this book can really benefit anyone having trouble in any type of relationship.

I highly recommend this book.Have a New Kid by Friday: How to Change Your Child's Attitude, ...

Crash Proof: How to Profit From the Coming Economic Collapse (Lynn Sonberg Books)251 reviews
Peter D. Schiff, John Downes
Wiley, 2007
Novice here...
I'm a complete novice to finances. Or at least I was before I read Crash Proof. It made all of those fancy stock market terms easy to understand. I was already anticipating some kind of crash because Ron Paul was saying it was coming, and he's been right every time! But this book made the coming crisis more scientific.
Also, the part about Gold is genius. Get gold! GET GOLD!

What Color Is Your Parachute? 2009: A Practical Manual for Job-Hunters and Career-Changers (What Color Is ...9 reviews
Richard Nelson Bolles
Ten Speed Press, 2008
Best book on the market.....
I have used the Parachute book for years as a text book for the courses I teach in career planning and career development. Nearly every book on job hunting that has been published since 1970 has been an off shoot of Bolles' work. I don't believe there is any one anywhere that has given as much thought to the field of job hunting as Bolles has. He considers his work to be his mission in life ...

Against Medical Advice: One Family's Struggle with an Agonizing Medical Mystery7 reviews
James Patterson, Hal Friedman, ...
Little, Brown and Company, 2008
Incredibly familiar
This book was a phenomenal retelling of the life of someone with Tourette Syndrome. As a mother of three boys who all have the same diagnosis as Cory, I feel like I can adequately say that I am more of an authority on the subject than most. As I read through his life struggles, weeping through a great many of the pages, I could identify with much of the grief and pain that he and his parents ...

Wondrously Fabulous Book!
We have bought 14 copies of this book from Amazon. The book is so wonderful that we enjoy sharing it with friends and family, and we host a book-study at our home in which we take turns reading it aloud and then discussing it.
This book explains, in a clear, comprehensive way, why events occur as they do. Jerry and Esther Hicks have been traveling the country for twenty years, explaining the ...

The No-Cry Sleep Solution: Gentle Ways to Help Your Baby Sleep Through the Night683 reviews
Elizabeth Pantley, William Sears
McGraw-Hill, 2002
I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!
At first when I read this book it seemed too involved and I was a tad bit turned off by what seemed like a lot of work. I set the book aside and admittedly didn't follow it to the T. I did however implement some of the basic ideas, no nursing/sucking to sleep and gradually assisting to sleep less and less etc and what I have now is a baby that puts himself to sleep without ever having to let him ...

The Mystery Method: How to Get Beautiful Women Into Bed156 reviews
Mystery, Lovedrop
St. Martin's Press, 2007
Making it hard, to say no
_The Mystery Method_ is a must-read not just for guys who want to get laid, but for Christian teens who want to keep themselves pure until marriage (or until a spinster's chaste death, whichever comes first). Neil and "Mystery," and my very good friend, "Lovedrop," here teach lonely guys every trick in the book--and I'm not talking about the Good Book, I'm talking about their own methodically ...

Buy the book, not the Kindle version
This is an excellent book full of interesting information and useful exercises. If you or your counseling clients want to make marriage work, this could really help. I bought the Kindle version, though, and now I have no access to the exercises.
I borrowed the book from the library and made some copies of the exercises. There are so many good ones, this turned out to be a lot of time and ...

The Millionaire Next Door792 reviews
Thomas J. Stanley, William D. Danko
Pocket, 1998
this book exceeded my expectations
This is the best book I have read in months.
I think the authors could have made just as strong a case with half the number of pages, but I would still give this book `6-stars' if I could.
Why?
1 - It's an easy and inspiring read.
2 - It's free of unnecessarily poetic language.
3 - It's free of unfounded claims. The authors `opinion' is not the essence of the book.
2 - The ...
