Keys to Drawing with Imagination: Strategies and Exercises for Gaining Confidence and Enhancing Your ... 12 reviews
Bert Dodson
North Light Books, 2006
Get this book!
This is a great how-to-draw book, because it has a very smart strategy: finesse the negative self-criticism that keeps most of us from even beginning to do anything smacking of `art.'
When a six year old once asked her father, a college art instructor, what he did for a living, he said, "I teach people how to draw." Incredulous, she replied: "You mean they forget!?"
We all know why that ...

Erika B. Hilliard
Da Capo Press, 2005
Feel an energetic approach to reducing shyness
The book begins with the usual discussion about the symptoms of social anxiety. But then the author goes into presenting some ideas that are novel to the broader discussion of social anxiety. An example of this is how anxiety is a process rather than a fixed thing. Yes, this is a simple idea and yet it provides a new perspective on social anxiety that makes the condition less monolithic and ...

Gaining: The Truth About Life After Eating Disorders20 reviews
Aimee Liu
Wellness Central, 2008
One of the best books on this topic
I recommend this book to anyone with a history of anorexia or bulimia nervosa. It is well written and promotes healthy insights about one's condition, psychological predisposition and family context. I have read Caroline Knapp's book - Appetites, which I found to be excellent too. I also recommend Sensing the Self. All the others I have seen are not worth the time... This one, if not the best, ...

Losing It: And Gaining My Life Back One Pound at a Time192 reviews
Valerie Bertinelli
Free Press, 2008
Interesting and Enjoyable AudioBook
I was curious about this book. I always thought of Valerie Bertinelli as the sweetheart married to Eddie Van Halen. I always liked her.
She's very candid in this book about things she's done, mistakes she's made, but interestingly, she doesn't blame anyone but herself. While many celebs are mentioned in this book, she's very kind to them all and I appreciated that. Lots of time is spent ...

Muslims, Christians, and Jesus: Gaining Understanding and Building Relationships4 reviews
Carl Medearis
Bethany House, 2008
My First Book Review
I'm venturing into the world of reviewing because this book is worth it! Carl's insight into evangelism and discipleship as simply pointing people to Jesus and developing real genuine loving friendships has application well beyond Muslim culture. In fact, while I have certainly gained new perspective and understanding into Muslim culture, I primarly read the book for the broader insight that ...

Real Ksas--Knowledge, Skills & Abilities--For Government Jobs: Improve Your Chances of Gaining Federal ... 3 reviews
Prep Publishing, 2003
Should be KSA for limited Government Jobs
This book has too few job examples and many of the jobs it does offer KSAs for are related. If I could, I wouldn't have spent the money or the 5 months it took to get it. Out of hundreds if not thousands of fed. jobs, this book manages to cover KSAs for whopping 42 of them. If you are in any science field other than medical, don't bother with this book.

Nancy S. Seasholes
The MIT Press, 2003
Encyclopedic, entertaining, extraordinary - simply the best!
Seasholes must have combed every archive and walked every inch of Boston to produce this monumental book. Not only is it exhaustive, but it is entertaining as well. Although this is a handsome book it is not a cooffe table enterprise. This is a book you will want to take with you as you walk the streets of Boston. This book is destined to become dog eared and underlined. It is simply a must for ...

Great Book, Especially this time of Year
I'm writing this just at the end of the 2006 elections. I can't imagine how many millions were spent trying to persuade me that this candidate or that question on the ballot should be my choice. I'm astounded at how many phone calls I've received from Laura Bush, or that candidate who just wants to set the record straight about the lies her opponnent has been telling about her.

Yoga of the Heart: Ten Ethical Principles for Gaining Limitless Growth, Confidence, and Achievement6 reviews
Alice Christensen
Rodale Press, 1998
Vital Yoga Book
I love this book. When I first encountered it years ago I thought the woman was a little kooky with all the talk about the "spiritual body" but over the years I keep returning to this book. In fact, it is one of the few books I insisted on replacing after losing my house in Katrina. There is no flowery language here, despite the spiritual talk. The author is so straightforward you only have ...

Opinion of "Gaining Favor with God and Man"
Truly an excellent book. Full of inspiring essays with subjects like "Integrity", "Perseverance", and "Honesty". I appreciated learning about the many noble men and women throughout history who left us with truly brilliant examples from which to model so many aspects of our lives - many of whom I had never heard of before!

A life saver
I recently bought this book, and I have to say that it is probably one of the more useful books I've read on self-defense shooting.
There are no martial arts tricks that need hours of practce to learn, just simple common sense techniques. I've been practising, and they do work!
I've read this guy's magazine articles before, and I'm glad that he's decided to write this book. It's well worth ...
