Highly recommended for students of ethics and spirituality
Ever since the 1960s, Kent Keith has doggedly insisted that despite the insanity that seems to consume the world, people can still act honorably and change things for the better. He calls his manifesto the "Paradoxical Commandments," and the very first commandment states: People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered. Love them anyway! Commandment number two asserts: If you do good, ...

One Minute for Yourself

Spencer Johnson

Collins, 1998

This is where Magic happens!
I was drawn to this book because it looked light and simple, and the idea of taking one minute for myself seemed to be manageable even with my crazy schedule. Well, this book delivered a lot more than what I expected! It introduced to me the possibility of having a great life when I actually stop, look, and listen to myself; By simply asking "is there a better way to take care of myself right ...

Great!
This book is short and to the point. The lessons are learned through a fictional character who readers can relate with...an average everyday guy. A must have in your collection of Dr. Spencer Johnson books.

Energize the team and prioritize
I purchased this book for my department at work. I also purchased the CD and found the CD even more enjoyable than reading the book. My team was under a lot of pressure to perform and as is often the case in adverse conditions, some were beginning to blame others and lose focus on the tasks at hand given the large amount of work yet to be done. The response I recieved from the workforce ...

Easy to use. And a great gift.
I was given this book as a gift and I'm delighted with it. It's sized smaller, like a gift book--so portable and easy to use. I appreciate Rex-Johnson's introduction that focuses and guides consumers on ocean and fish sustainability. This is befitting any bonafide cook from the Northwest (or anywhere!). Besides great recipes, she includes a helpful Appendix of techniques, everything from ...

The best management series ever!
The One Minute Manager techniques are phenomenal and the follow up book shows specific examples of how to implement them. Read them more than once!

The Value of Believing in Yourself: The Story of Louis Pasteur (Valuetales)

Childhood Memory
My Mom used to read this to me when I was little, and coincidently, I picked it up from our library while writing my personal statement for graduate school. I also am looking for "invisible enemies" like Louis Pasteur's; I am pursuing a Ph.D. in Immunology and Microbiology.

The Value of Fantasy: The Story of Hans Christian Andersen (Value Tales Series)

Spencer Johnson, Steve Pileggi

Value Communications, 1980

Excellent for young readers
The ValueTale series is the only series I have ever found the published biographies that would interest fourth-graders. Each page contains colorful, cartoon-like illustrations. Each book in the series creates an imaginary friend for the main character (for young Hans it's an ugly duckling). The main part of the book tells a simplified historical fiction biography of the character, and the last ...

Classic Read
Every manager or supervisor should require their employees to read this book. It is a quick read but very informative. I can't give it enough stars for the insight it has given me.

Hodder & Stoughton Ltd, 2002

Inspirational and aspirational...
The author first articulated these principles in 1960 as a Harvard student and they have traveled the world many times over. The 10 paradoxical themes are so easy to understand, but oh so difficult to live by. This book explains that grace, wisdom and happiness come from facing the worst in our world with the best in ourselves. A 'must-read' book. 1. People are illogical, unreasonable, and ...

Sasquatch Books, 1995

A great book for kids
This is a fantastic book for kids to learn how to cook beyond opening a can of spahgetti. It doesn't make things cutesy, because kids want to eat real food. Not tacos decorated to look like sharks. These are really kid tested and make cooking fun.

Great Family Time
These books were purchased for me and my sister in 1980. These were great bed time stories and great conversation starters for our parents. I still remember many of the heros mentioned and their "valuable lessons" they learned. Not something you want to let slip by or just pawn off for your kids. Buy these for one on one time with your kids - before they are grown and gone.

Great Books for Kids!!!!!
All of the books from this series were fun to read! They are full of great lessons that will impact your kids in a positive way for years to come. I wish they were still in print and available in softcover editions for families to enjoy today. The educational substance in these books is what is missing from alot of kid's programming nowadays. I buy them all off the shelves whenever I find them in ...

The Value of Honesty
One thing that I really like about this set of books is that the characters used to teach values are real, which makes it easier to "sell" the value to kids. 5 year olds will believe a cartoon dinosaur, but the older set, 9 and up, are harder and these books help! Confucius was told by his father at a very young age that he would grow up to be a wise man, so he set out to educate himself. He ...

Changed my life - wonderful book
This book is wonderful. I was read to, then given the book by a friend, and I have gone back to it many *many* times. It seems almost a child's book, but for the adult child looking for ... what? The Precious Present, of course! I've used this book as a metaphor for some of my clients, and I highly, highly recommend it. This book, actually, was my stepping-stone into meditation, mindfulness, ...
