Choosing Civility: The Twenty-five Rules of Considerate Conduct19 reviews
P. M. Forni
St. Martin's Griffin, 2003
A good book for our times
After discussing why we don't treat each other as well as we should and why we should treat each other better, Massimo offers 25 rules to help us implement his advice. He gets very specific about the ways we can treat each other better, every day.
I like this book for two reasons. One, because it puts the accountability where it belongs: on me. I can't improve my relations with other people by ...

Choosing Happiness: Life and Soul Essentials11 reviews
Stephanie Dowrick
Tarcher, 2008
Simple Yet Profound
I have to tell you that I basically read Choosing Happiness in a single day. I had been looking for information on helping me better handle my stress and on living a much simpler, more joyous life when what do I find but an entire table dedicated to "Finding Happiness". I must have picked up ten books from that table that looked good, but it was Stephanie's book that grabbed my attention and kept ...

Now What?: The Young Person's Guide to Choosing the Perfect Career9 reviews
Nicholas Lore
Fireside, 2008
Groundbreaking Aid to People Choosing a Career
Nick Lore has written a book that takes career choice seriously while writing in a tone that is light enough to be read. He has moved so far past those ridiculously unhelpful "aptitudes and interests" tests foisted upon high school and college students that it does this book a disservice by putting it in the same category as those tests.
As an industrial-organizational psychologist, I have ...

The Ultimate Guide to Choosing a Medical Specialty10 reviews
Brian Freeman
McGraw-Hill Medical, 2007
Yep, it is THE ultimate guide
Actually, as its name implies.. This book is the ultimate guide in the process of choosing a specialty.
Other books that come after it are anita tylor's "how choose a medical specialty", which is more to the point but gives little detail about each specialty. After is "So You Want to Be a Brain Surgeon" which has much less in each specialty than the previous two.

Choosing Simplicity: Real People Finding Peace and Fulfillment in a Complex World26 reviews
Linda Breen Pierce
Gallagher Press, 2000
What is simplicity and how can each of us find it?
The author's goal is to show that simplicity varies by person -- it is living life in harmony with our souls. It can be done anywhere. It can be done by making small lifestyle changes or radical ones such as living in a homeless shelter. No specific roadmaps are provided since what is right and the process of finding it is unique to each person.
The book includes the author's personal ...

Albert Mudrian, John Peel
Feral House, 2004
Grinding Death Trip Down Memory Lane
Albert Mudrian, editor-in-chief of Decibel magazine, one of the best music magazines out there today, pens an excellent celebration of the darkest, fastest, and most intense music out there: death metal (and grindcore). Mudrian's format is simple, for a reason. It streamlines the vast reams of information within these genres and pares it down to the true essence of the keys bands - Napalm Death, ...

Thomas Nelson, 1997
Thumbs Up! Frank Minirth, Les Carter
This book has been an amazing gift for me. I'm a Christian who thought I knew how to forgive until I was offended beyond my wildest dreams and struggled with anger, bitterness and confusion that led me to read the book. The order of chapters is such that a concept in one chapter builds up to the next. The first 3 chapters allows one to examine the wrong that has been done and acknowledge it for ...

Choosing Your Faith: In a World of Spiritual Options21 reviews
Mark Mittelberg, Lee Strobel
Tyndale House Publishers, 2008
A MUST read for anyone truly serious about their faith!
This book is written in a conversational, real-world approach that connects with where people are living/thinking today. While I want to be challenged in my thinking (and this book does that), I also want to hear from someone who's in touch with culture and life. Mittelberg accomplishes both with a skill that is rarely found in other writers of this genre.
His arguments are clear, respectful, ...

Choosing Democracy: A Practical Guide to Multicultural Education (3rd Edition) 1 review
Duane E. Campbell
Prentice Hall, 2003
excuses are many but the effort is needed
I was assigned this book for a class and found it pretty sad. The book goes off about the bad capitalists (richer districts) and from what I read implied they were at fault with the government right behind them. I teach in one of the poorest districts of my state and have found that if a student applies him or herself they usually do well including scholarships etc. Rich or more districts in the ...
