Last year I hit a rut and lost my motivation to run. I enjoy the feeling of running consistently and needed something to help me get back into running again. This book provides a good background on women and ...

Excellent Information

hotness has returned!
I was so relieved to read this really hot and romantic story by Ms. Kleypas; especially after reading one of her previous novels that was horrible. I've read so many of her books and they have always delivered and this one delivers and how! I love Charlotte and Nick together. They both know that each will change the other's life if given the opportunity. I always love a little friction ...

The Metabolic Typing Diet: Customize Your Diet For: Permanent Weight Loss, Optimum Health, Preventing and ...117 reviews
Broadway, 2008
Certainly great for practitioners.
As a practitioner I found this to be a fantastic read. It is rather dense so I'm not sure that a good deal of the general public will be able to get through it. I don't think it works to well for the untrained reader, especially since it gets into the history of the research behind this discipline, as well as a lot of physiological content. Despite that, it is well written so even if you're ...

Worth Every Penny
The book may be smallish, but its 400 pages are packed full of knowledge and inspiration for every imaginable situation. Mr. Peterson's books are imaginative and some of his photos are are breathtakingly beautiful. This time he's outdone himself. I'm downsizing and getting rid of many books. This one's a keeper!

Not Your Typical Management Book
Gung Ho has it all - a great narrative, humor, inspiration and valuable lessons that can benefit any organization. It illustrates the significance of intrinsic motivation and allowing employees to own their organization's success. I especially liked the team huddle used by the top performing department at the beginning of each shift. Leadership is not about making employees do their job - it is ...
