Excuse Me, Your Life Is Waiting: The Astonishing Power of Feelings 257 reviews
Lynn Grabhorn
Hampton Roads Publishing, 2003
It isn't "all about us, It all starts with us" individually.
I loved this book for many reasons One being it deals with ones well being. Yes many people I have recommended this to and even given as gifts, have found it difficult to put these good feelings into practice. I feel it is or was difficult as it proves the authors point that we have been taught backwards. No one person is to blame as it has been handed down for eons. We are what we attract as we ...

Excuse Me!: A Little Book of Manners51 reviews
Grosset & Dunlap, 2002
Teaches polite responses in a fun way
A book-loving toddler will delight in lifting the full-page flaps and repeating the polite phrases--some in response to silly requests. I have received more "No thank yous" and "Yes pleases" since reading this book with my child.

No Excuse Leadership: Lessons from the U.S. Army's Elite Rangers19 reviews
Brace E. Barber
Wiley, 2004
Going past known limits
I really enjoyed reading this book. It gives you the ground-level stories of Ranger School from ten men who survived the experience and pushed past their mental and physical limits to graduate. Those ten stories are not only enjoyable, they are often surprising. For example, one mentioned an experience where he dug some food out of a trash can when he was ordered to sick call because of the ...

No Excuses: Closing the Racial Gap in Learning 33 reviews
Abigail Thernstrom, Stephan Thernstrom
Simon & Schuster, 2004
Controversial, yet very informative
The title of this book No Excuses sums up the content that is in the book. The Thernstroms explain the causes of the Achievement Gap, BUT takes it one step further saying that these are just the causes--NOT EXCUSES! Many people look at the achievement gap and label what the problems are but do not go any further. The Thernstroms provide examples of a few schools that are successfully tackling ...

Excuse Me, Your Soul Mate Is Waiting (Excuse Me) 36 reviews
Marla Martenson
Hampton Roads Pub Co, 2008
Not just any relationship advice book...
Too many books spend too much time talking about where you are. While that is important for context, it really is only half the answer. Marla's book, on the other hand, takes it to another level and provides real advice about what you can do and how can approach not just your dating life, but life in general. It is a lot to take in, but I mean that in a good way. In fact, I'm re-reading the ...

Leading From the Front: No-Excuse Leadership Tactics for Women14 reviews
Courtney Lynch, Angie Morgan
McGraw-Hill, 2006
Leading from the front
It was inspiring because both authors went through such rigorous training and like they said broke the gender barrier. Their message is consice and exactly what women needed to start taking the leadership roles they deserve. It is all about doing the work, setting the example, and being yourself, including being caring and nurturing!

Oops! Excuse Me! Please!: And Other Mannerly Tales3 reviews
Bob McGrath
Barron's Educational Series, 1998
An excellent book for kids to read with their parents.
Rather than discourage bad manners, this book encourages GOOD manners, thus reinforcing good behavior. It provides parents with the opportunity to discuss appropriate (and polite) behavior in various situations that children encounter at home and in public. It's a book that is sized for small hands, so children can hold it themselves and read it over and over again with Mom or Dad (or by ...

It is religion/cult free, but helps ...

Please Excuse My Daughter20 reviews
Julie Klam
Riverhead Hardcover, 2008
FINALLY, SOMETHING REAL
In this age of cheap laughs with little substance, it's refreshing to read something that's as funny as it is genuine. The adventures of Julie Klam come from a place of bracing honesty; at one moment hilarious, the next devastating. This is a new voice, one we'll be hearing more of in the future. Pay attention.

Bob Powers
St. Martin's Griffin, 2008
Ridiculously Perfect, and Perfectly Ridiculous
Bob Powers has written a hilarious and very adult version of the classic Choose Your Own Adventure type of book, skewering everything from dotcom mania to a Landmark Forum-type "personal development workshop." The latter advertises that "There is a GEYSER OF PERSONAL POTENTIAL waiting to burst out of you. Find out how to COAT THE WORLD with AN EXPLOSION OF YOU." As you try to figure out the best ...
