When Panic Attacks: The New, Drug-Free Anxiety Therapy That Can Change Your Life

10 reviews
David D. Md Burns

Broadway, 2007

A life saving book
As someone who struggled with panic attacks for over 25 years, I have read a lot of books about anxiety. I now plan to get rid of all of the others! I read Dr. Burns' Feeling Good at my lowest point last year and it was a lifeline for me. That book focuses more on depression, and while some of the information in it applied to anxiety, I kept wishing he would write a book specifically on anxiety. ...

Cold Sassy Tree

Olive Ann Burns

Mariner Books, 2007

Great stand-alone novel...
This novel is perfect in every way all on it's own. That said, there is a follow up "mostly" written by Burns titled Leaving Cold Sassy... don't go for that one. But, this one is a keeper. I was assigned this book in high school (quite a while ago) and it was one of the 1st novels that started my whole love-affair with books. I also recommend Louis L'Amour Last of the Breed (not a western, ...

Spend 'Til the End: The Revolutionary Guide to Raising Your Living Standard--Today and When You Retire

Laurence J. Kotlikoff, Scott Burns

Simon & Schuster, 2008

Some Outside Reviews
There's been some very good early press on this book. See, for example, the Washington Post article (copied below) as well as this comment in a recent article in the New York Times: ----- Even if the parents have money left over, the ones who didn't have custody of the children may be less inclined to pass an inheritance on to them. "The ties that parents have with kids and their interest in ...

Magic Burns (Kate Daniels, Book 2)

Ilona Andrews

Ace, 2008

Even better than book 1!
This book had me from page 1 - although this is not surprising, since I loved book 1 of the series! The action here picks up three months after the end of book one, with Kate still super-tough, but realizing that perhaps Boone's Farm isn't the place she wants to visit anymore - nice to see a character that isn't self-destructive, but rather tough-as-nails and wanting to get the job done no matter ...

Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning

Jonah Goldberg

Doubleday, 2008

A Deft Expose on the Hidden History of Fascism and Its Connection with Modern American Liberalism
Jonah Golberg's book is a deft expose of the hidden history of fascism in America, tracing its roots back to the leftist totalitarian regimes of Mussolini, Hitler and Stalin. Golberg connects all the arcane, hidden, obscured dots to give the reader a factual account of the rise of modern American liberalism, which he calls "smiley-face facism-'nice' facisism." No, he does not call modern ...

Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy Revised and Updated

David D. Burns

Harper, 1999

It's easy to see why this is the #1 prescribed book
I've read several "self help" books on depression and I got the most out of this one, by far. I think maybe because it was so easy to identify with much of what he said. Like when he is talking about the different types of distorted thinking, "Hey, I do that!" His suggestions are simple and easy to follow. He admits to thoughts you may have as you read and responds to them. Just overall, I ...

The Gargoyle

Andrew Davidson

Doubleday, 2008

Well worth the price of admission
On the face of it, this should be an unpleasant tale of a pornographer's car accident and subsequent medical treatment - being squeamish myself some of the detail that is gone into about the various procedures the narrator undergoes in hospital was incredibly hard to persevere through - but the stories of his shared histories with Marianne Engel, and the way their relationship develops in the ...

Collins Living, 1999

A new beginning
This book is a very good resource for those who are battling depression. Whether you are a manic depressive, or just battling low self-esteem, this book breaks down everything for you and even has work book exercises to help you pin point the problem, then work on it. I highly recommend it.

It is a great way to learn about shapes for kids! With a little moral to the story! :)

The Feeling Good Handbook

David D. Burns

Plume, 1999

Superb resource after suicide attempt
This book was extraordinarily helpful to someone close to me. She was clinically depressed and had just been released from the hospital after a suicide attempt. We read it together in small bites for the first few weeks, and then she was able to do it on her own. A therapist helped, loving family helped, meds helped---but this book was literally a lifesaver. The title suggest that it is useful ...

The War: An Intimate History, 1941-1945

58 reviews
Geoffrey C. Ward, Ken Burns

Knopf, 2007

Powerful, Moving and Informative look at WWII Through the Eyes of Those who were There
Ken Burns and Geoffrey Ward have done it again with "The War." This handsome companion volume to the acclaimed PBS mini-series is a testament to the people who served, witnessed, and lived through World War II- both in Europe and the Pacific. Burns focuses, in particular, on the people of four diverse American cities and how their lives intersected with the War. Included in this survey are ...

Rodale Books, 2007

You won't be a dumbbell after reading this book
Just about everything you ever wanted to know about dumbbells. The book is divided up into three parts. The first part, the truth about dumbbells, explains all about the different types of dumbbells. The second part, the master moves, shows you the exercises you can do with a dumbbell which includes many pictures and instructions. This part makes up about 80% of the book. And finally, part three, ...

Sizzle and Burn (The Arcane Society, Book 3)

Jayne Ann Krentz

Putnam Adult, 2008

Sizzle and Burn
Jayne Ann Krentz has become a must buy author. I usually by the Quick historicals and the Jayne Castle paranormals because normally I don't like contemporaries but the Krentz novels have whetted my appetite for contemporary reads. Ms. Krentz allows her quirky sense of humor to come alive in whatever genre she is writing. Her characters are always multilayered and complex. Her storylines are ...

101 Ways to Work Out with Weights: Effective Exercises to Sculpt Your Body and Burn Fat!

Cindy Whitmarsh

Fair Winds Press, 2006

Excellent Book!
I love the color illustrations, and the specific instructions on how to perform each exercise just below the pictures. With the other books I've tried, I have to constantly flip to a different page to read how to do the exercise correctly. I really like the section that is broken down into specific exercises depending on how much time you have. While I thought some of the exercises labeled ...

Rodale Books, 2007

A Wonderful Book that Motivated Me!!
This book is terrific! Karas gives no-nonsense advice and gives it to you straight! He explains how it is not so much the diets that are not working for those of us who have been struggling to lose weight. We fail because of a lack of focus and BELIEF IN OUR ABILITY to succeed. I truly appreciate his candor and I love the way he touches on the many many emotional aspects of weight problems. It is ...

Flip the Switch: Proven Strategies to Fuel Your Metabolism and Burn Fat 24 Hours a Day
This is the most common sense approach to health and weight loss I have come across in years of reading, dieting, Weight Watchers, etc. The tips for boosting metabolism with simple body movements are easy to follow. The scientific explanations are understandable and logical. My big "aha" moment was using their recommendations to figure the percent of my daily calories I should be getting from ...

The Corner: A Year in the Life of an Inner-City Neighborhood

66 reviews
David Simon, Edward Burns

Broadway, 1998

A look into a very real world
I bought the book after I was absolutely enthralled by the mini-series. The book and movie both give you a very emotionally capturing look into the world of the drug corners of every inner city ghetto. In the book's case, it focuses on life in the most dangerous ones of Baltimore, homicide capital of the USA. The book is a stunningly accurate portrayal of a world that is often forgotten, ...

The Slow Burn Fitness Revolution: The Slow Motion Exercise That Will Change Your Body in 30 Minutes a Week

Broadway, 2002

Better than Pilates for losing inches when incorporated into a more traditional workout schedule.
I have waited years to review this book: I bought it five years ago with "The Power of Ten" when I was a professional Pilates instructor. At the time, I was 33, and working as a Pilates teacher in the busiest Pilates studio in the city--of which I was the owner. I did this program for three months without following the dietary recommendations other than cutting out bread and pasta. Clients ...

Sister Bernadette's Barking Dog: The Quirky History and Lost Art of Diagramming Sentences

26 reviews
Kitty Burns Florey

Harvest Books, 2007

Diagramming is for the dogs
"Sister Bernadette's Barking Dog: The Quirky History and Lost Art of Diagramming Sentences" is not a book that will appeal to everyone. Author Kitty Burns Florey explores the history and nuances of sentence diagramming that waned in the sixties, but may be gaining momentum (especially in ESL teaching) in the present day. It is a history punctuated with personal memories, admiration for writers ...

Math Solutions Publications, 2007

About Teaching Mathematics
I love this book! It is a great resource with ideas for getting kids interested in math and what questions teachers should ask themselves as they teach. It also points out common mistakes students make and their thought processes for getting there. It is divided into sections by mathematical topics and also has dozens of lesson plan ideas, both for full lessons and those quick time-fillers. ...
