Behind Closed Doors: Secrets of Great Management (Pragmatic Programmers)

24 reviews
Johanna Rothman, Esther Derby

Pragmatic Bookshelf, 2005

Practical Indeed!
I am very skeptical of most business improvement books and one size fits all methodologies, but I can tell you that this book absolutely shines as a glint of hope in the sea of business improvement noise. As opposed to trying to force a given technique that will apply to everyone in every business, this book provides some very "real" examples that exist in the software development world and some ...

The Sociopath Next Door

212 reviews
Martha Stout

Broadway, 2006

Brilliant
This book was fantastic! After being the victim of a sociopath this book gave me great insight into how these type of people operate and why they do the things they do. This is a must read for anyone caught in the mental grip of a sociopath. It will not only show you how to recognise one but also you how to get away from them before they destroy your life.

Harvest Books, 2008

Merle's Door
I picked up this book on a total whim. WOW - I am so glad I did - if you have any kind of connection to dogs - like loving them and talking with them, giving them a personality - (if you think I'm nuts, you don't have the connection I'm talking about). If you are just grinning inwardly, buy this book and enjoy it. Well written and informative, passionate and honest. Oh yes - remember the ...

I read it in one sitting, now my butt hurts and I can't see to drive!
There are too few people who can laugh at themselves, and make us laugh when they do. I want to be Jen's new best friend! My only disappointment is that I didn't find this book sooner. My great pleasure is that I got to read it yesterday! I checked it out from the library but as soon as I find out how to order a signed copy directly from her, I am going to order all 3 of her books. Having ...

Martha Hall Foose

Clarkson Potter, 2008

Dine in the Delta
I had the pleasure of meeting with Martha Foose at a cooking demonstration. She is a pleasure to listen to as she speaks and to watch her prepare food. The recipes are great southern dishes and the stories in this book are great reading. She is not only a great chef but a superb story teller. This is delta cooking at its best.

A great book about a great actress and lady. Could not put it down.

The Universe Next Door: A Basic Worldview Catalog

59 reviews
James W. Sire

InterVarsity Press, 2004

A Christian analysis of other presuppositions
There are a number of reviewers who are under the impression that the only way to write a world-view catalog is from an objective position which has no bias at all. This is unfortunate, because the book tries to show us how everyone has a presuppositional bias: there is no objective middle ground from which to weigh up the others. This was required reading as a theology student, and I found ...

Great, clear chemistry book!

The Doors of Perception and Heaven and Hell (Perennial Classics)

60 reviews
Aldous Huxley

Harper Perennial Modern Classics, 2004

Politically Incorrect, Yet Spiritually Relevant
Aldous Huxley was ahead of his time. And yet, he was right where he needed to be. In a time when modern society had not quite caught on to the mind-expanding powers of psycho-active drugs, psychology was still interested in how they might be used in a beneficial way. Thus, Huxley, one of the most dedicated thinkers of a generation, was able to participate in and produce feedback for, a ...

Madeleine L'Engle

Square Fish, 2007

Good for another generation!
The first book in this series, A Wrinkle in Time, was my favorite book as a young girl. I bought this for my very bright 12 yr old son recently. After reading it, he told me that it may be the best he has read & he reads extensively (including all the Potters)! We are anxious to get on with the others as I never read them when I was young!

enjoyable
I was not disappointed with this second in a series. Not sure why some of the reviews are so brutal, bad day perhaps? I found it to be a light, fast read.

Enter The Kettlebell! Strength Secret of The Soviet Supermen

29 reviews
Pavel Tsatsouline

Dragon Door Publications, 2006

Short and sweet
I get more out of a 5 five minute get up drill then I do working out for 30 minutes in the gym. I think a 30 dollar book and an $80, 35 pound kettelbell quickly pays for itself vice paying gym fees or buying free weights. I think this just appeals to certain types of people. I personally hate the gym culture so going one on one with a kettlebell just works for me. One other point, this type of ...

Eckhart Tolle

Sounds True, 2005

Visiting the Now
I read The Power of Now The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment a number of years ago, but was recently drawn back to Tolle's work during a major change in my life. I was yearning for peace, and center, and stillness. In addition to re-reading the book, I discovered this CD. His voice and teachings, so clearly presented here, were soothing to my jangled, overwhelmed nervous ...
