As good as I expected
This is the 9th book in a series and it does not disappoint. Keeping the reader/listener engaged through such an epic tale is no small feat but Terry Goodkind does it well.

Clear, consise - excellent examples
This is how a business book should be written - well organized, stating the theory, providing relevant examples and a summary at the end of each chapter. I have begun distributing the book to my clients who are actively involved with or contemplating a merger - a must for anyone in that situation.

Brilliance Audio on MP3-CD, 2008

Truly Compelling Leadership Book
This book got me thinking about why everyone mimics everyone else in business. Why do all banks act the same way (have branches, credit cards, ATMs, car loans, checking accounts, etc.)? For that matter, why do almost all car dealerships, or department stores, airlines, etc. act in the smae way? Arkadi Kuhlmann has provided his own answer by trashing some of the sacred practices of ...

Excellent!! The Complete Series!!
This book along with the rest of the series contains a huge lesson in Philosophy. If you like a book that teaches along with the story then this book is for you. Not many people may understand this lesson and get too wrapped up in the actual story. This series will help a person learn to think better. Not to just accept but to question. I consider this book better then Wheel of Time or Lord of ...

M.D., Norman Doidge

Brilliance Audio on CD Unabridged, 2008

Remarkable insight on the human brain from the frontiers of science
This has to be one of the most fascinated works I've come across in a while. The main premise of the book is the extraordinary plasticity of the human brain. The author makes a compelling argument, supported by endless and very valuable examples, studies and facts to support this theory. Some of the most exciting topics explore how the brain develops and learns, effects of certain disorders ...

If you like fantasy, this series is for you...
This book was even better than book 1 of the series. Lots of magic, character development, and unexpected plot twists. Down sides were there was a bit more "refreshing your memory" about book one than I think was really necessary, and some plot lines dragged on for a bit too long (enough of the mud people!!), but all in all it firmed up a plot that I will be following through the entire ...

Prayers of a God Chaser: Passionate Prayers of Pursuit

Tommy Tenney

Brilliance Corporation, 2002

Covers the bases
I really enjoyed this book. I just finished it, and I found it to be very informative and easy to read. I really like Tommy Tenny's style. He breaks prayer down into about ten different types, which I find to be very true, and it really helps to get things in perspective. Especially good are his chapters on "prayers of emptying" and "prayers of commitment." They confirmed things I have ...

The New Elite: Inside the Minds of the Truly Wealthy

Brilliance Audio on CD, 2008

Best book on The Minds of The Wealthy to Date
I've spent the last 18 months researching academic journals, scientific and popular literature about how those who achieve the top 5% of wealth end up where they are. I've gone through three dozen books, of which four were quite good and the others were brutally poor. The New Elite by Taylor, Harrison and Kraus stands head and shoulders above the rest. The book serves two broad purposes. ...

Brilliance Audio on CD Unabridged, 2007

This is one of the few times that I've taken on science fiction.
The way that the Goodkind tells a story is absolutely amazing. I have read very few if any science fiction books but if they all are as engrossing as this book was I might soon find myself hooked. It would have got 5 stars but do to my lack of experience with the genre I only felt comfortable giving out 4 stars. Do not hesitate to read if you have the time, its well worth it.

John Saul book
I paid full price for this book at the book store - $7.95 paperback! It was good, but I have definately read better from John Saul! If you are a true fan of his books then you will read it!

Steve Hamilton

Brilliance Audio on CD Unabridged, 2006

Another Excellent McKnight Mystery
I have read every Steve Hamilton novel since A Cold Day in Paradise. I wish I could recommend one over the others, but in all honesty I love them all! My suggestion is to start with A Cold Day in Paradise and continue through the series. You won't be sorry, except for the fact that you may not get much else done since Steve's mysteries are hard to put down!

Persuasion IQ: The 10 Skills You Need to Get Exactly What You Want

8 reviews
Kurt W. Mortensen

Brilliance Audio on CD, 2008

A masterpiece
Someone has finally written a masterwork on the science of how we persuade people. Historically, most books on persuasion revolve around old-school sales techniques that simply don't work in the 21st century. Mortensen looks at persuasion the way it should be seen, as a set of procedural skills with real evidence behind them. Starting with the inner game of your thoughts and personal beliefs, ...

Bad Samaritans: The Myth of Free Trade and the Secret History of Capitalism

Ha-Joon Chang

Brilliance Audio on CD Unabridged, 2007

Informative, readable, clever book
Ha-Joon Chang's book is probably the best book on economics I have ever read. Although it goes against the free trade consensus, Chang's ideas are notable for not falling into typical anti-globalization rhetoric. He is not anti-trade; in fact Chang thinks development should occur on more or less the lines it has for the richer nations. Although Chang works fully within the academic world, his ...
