The Secrets of Happily Married Men: Eight Ways to Win Your Wife's Heart Forever

32 reviews
Scott Haltzman, Theresa Foy DiGeronimo

Jossey-Bass, 2005

Fantastic book but very depressing
Well, this is a fantastic book for every man who is married and want his marriage to work whatever the price to be paid (and, since divorce is a financial and emotional ruin for men, this is not a silly attitude). If you are this kind of man, please buy this book. It is full of practical advice. Dr. Haltzman is a no-nonsense man and knows what he is talking about. So I think the book deserves 5 ...

Excellent resource for parents of young children with possible Autism
I am an employee of the school system and work with many youth who have autism. I frequently look for resources to recommend to parents so they can educate themselves about Autism and better help their child in the home environment. Wendy Stone's book would be very helpful for parents who suspect possible Autism in their young child (Under 4 years of age). It discusses what goes into the ...

Excellent
My sister found this book and it covers the ground. The medication issue for our mother is very serious. I'm glad there are "experts" out there on this subject because you can really feel alone and at a loss.

Facts on File, 1994

I GOT A SCHOLARSHIP!!!
I just received a college scholarship to play baseball at a Division I school and I owe it all to this book. It took me through the whole sports recruiting and college application process step-by-step. If it weren't for what I learned in this book, I never would have written to coaches and told them I wanted to play for their teams (I thought they'd come to me!); I never would have known that ...

Amazon Remainders Account, 2005

very good, entertaining
I'd love to raise my daughter free of gender bias, but we live in a world that has it. This book addresses the physical realities of raising a baby daughter (hygiene, growth rates) and societal ones (no matter how hard you try to avoid it, "girl" clothes often come in pink). It's got common sense advice on food, nurturing, and setting limits--and the language is warm, even friendly, ...

Richard Kadison, Theresa Foy DiGeronimo

Jossey-Bass, 2005

Should be required reading for parents of incoming freshman!
I am a psychologist who works in a college counseling center, and I wish that I could make this book required reading for the parents of every new student entering college. Main author Richard Kadison--Chief of the Mental Health Service at Harvard University Health Services--does an excellent job of outlining the many issues which college students face and the ways in which these issues are ...

Teach Your Baby to Sleep Through the Night

2 reviews
Charles E. Schaefer, Theresa Foy DiGeronimo

Signet, 1988

Practical help
The sleep training philosophy is similiar to the Ferber method, but we found this book more helpful with lots of practical examples and suggestions. For example, our baby was standing in the crib and we didn't know what to do. Easy to read - I finished in an evening. Our infant cried for less than an hour the first night, half hour the second and then was sleeping through the night. I did not ...

Free Press, 2002

You'll learn the author's secrets for being a great communicator
Heard SPEAK FROM THE HEART, written and read by Steve Adubato . . . he's a broadcaster and motivational speaker who shares his secrets to being a great communicator. Listening to what Abudato grabbed my attention so much that I then went back to get the print version--so as to make sure I did not miss anything. Furthermore, some of his ideas made so much sense that I wanted to make ...

Raising a Thinking Child

Myrna Shure, Theresa Foy DiGeronimo

Pocket, 1996

Required reading for parents
This book and its successor, Raising a Thinking Preteen, are going to be required reading for prospective parents when I am king of the world. There are so many cliche phrases that we learn from our parents, TV, etc. that are very destructive, and certainly not constructive, and this book teaches parents how to talk to their children to foster many positive traits, including the "hungry mind" ...

Alan Greene

Jossey-Bass, 2007

Very informative book and well worth the read
I think this is a very good to start raising a green baby. I wasn't the most eco-educated person out there, but I tried to do my part. When my wife and I started to try to have a baby, I wanted to have a healthy baby and started to do more research. What I like about this book is that it has a ton of information and resources and all laid out in a logical manner. The book was very easy to ...

Brian R. Clement, Theresa Foy Digeronimo

Prima Lifestyles, 1996

a "must have" health book (also in paperback)
this is one of the foundational books on the biological basis and necessity of eating raw (ie, "living") foods in order to detox and maintain good health. cooking foods is great for flavor but kills all enzymes and hence places the body in an untenable position. the book very clearly shows not only why meat and dairy are poisons, but also shows how "cooked" veggies and vegans on seemingly ...

An important resource relating diet & the brain's health
I read many of Dr. Giuffre's reviews written for books at www.amazon.com & felt that he has a high social conscience. He likes to share his opinion & knowledge w/ people. Now I just read this book & it makes me even more admire of this author. This book is a very good summary about food, supplements, life style in relation to keeping the brain in good health and is written in a reader friendly ...

Insomnia: 50 Essential Things To Do

Theresa Foy DiGeronimo

Plume, 1997

From a "Things to do" list lover viewpoint
"Insomnia - 50 things to do" is an excellent book! Almost like a "to do" list, except it is about 200 pages. The explanations are short, dense, but still easy to understand, and deep enough to cover all the important aspects of sleeping, the contributing factors, and the different treatment options chapter by chapter. I was surprise, how fast I got through this book. (I have to admit, it ...

Social Skills Therapy between two covers
I'm an occupational therapist specializing in the treatment of children and teens with Nonverbal Learning Disorder and Asperger's. I LOVE this workbook -- I checked it out from the library and kept renewing it and keeping it for so long they finally said it was cheaper for me to pay a lost book fee. At last it is available for purchase again. If you have a child with a soical learning disorder ...
