Fear and Trembling

Soren Kierkegaard

Wilder Publications, 2008

Fear and Trembling
Faith, it goes without saying, is a personal thing. It is a private aspect of a person's life that may, if they wish, become public, though there is no real need for this to occur. Faith is something that cannot be explained - certainly not to the satisfaction of an atheist - rather, it is something that is believed. Faith, in short, is faith. The particularities of faith are among the causes ...

Doggy Prozac??
I got to thinking about people who pay to have their dogs on doggy Prozac...Or whatever it's called...They must have a FEAR that their dog is mentally ill I guess..Anyways...This is a really good book..I would put it in the "media watchdog" category...It's even better post 9/11....Tons of examples of fears..How they are created...By which so called "experts"...The real facts are then ...

Hunter S. Thompson

Vintage, 1998

Great book, unfortunatell i've seen the movie
Just to be short, this book is great. Unfortunately for me, i've seen the movie for 5 or 6 times before reading it, so the book just felt repetitive. Especially since all the movie is like a quote of the book. Which is great if i wouldn't have seen the movie. So if you liked the movie, you'll definitely like this book. No surprises there, but some of the blurry situations in the movie are ...

Image Continuum Press, 2001

Highly recommended book for designer and illustrator.
I just graduated from art school, major in design & illustration. I've found this book amazingly helpful. I'm not that kind of person who like to read self help book...but this book is just wonderful. Things i've learn from this book: the right attitude of making art, determination over talent, the importance of communication between you and your art, small goals get you going, making art will ...

The Gift of Fear

Gavin De Becker

Dell, 1999

Who can I thank for this wonderful gift?
My houseboy, who lies in wait, ready to ambush me as soon as I enter my apartment? My government, which keeps a constant eye on me to make sure no harm is being done to me? My God, who has lightning bolts and whipped cream pies locked and loaded for whenever I might stray too far from the straight and narrow? No, I think it was most likely my uncle, who gave me that can of spring-loaded snakes ...

A BOOK FOR EVERY WOMAN TO READ
I FIRS SAW THE AUTHOR ON OPRAH'S SHOW. I THEN CHECKED THE BOOK OUT AT THE LIBRARY. AFTER JUST READING A FEW PAGES I KNEW I WANTED IT FOR MYSELF. I ORDERED IT AND GOT THE CD'S, BUT I STILL WANT THE BOOK. I ALSO ORDERED "PROTECTING THE GIFT" KEEPING CHILDREN AND TEENAGERS SAFE (AND PARENTS SANE) BY THE SAME AUTHOR. IT STATES ON THE COVER, 1.SAFETY SKILLS FOR CHILDREN OUTSIDE THE HOME 2. WARNING ...

Freedom from Fear: The American People in Depression and War, 1929-1945 (Oxford History of the United States)

David M. Kennedy

Oxford University Press, USA, 2001

An Iluminating Book
I've never read a book this long (858 pp) before for pleasure, but I found the Freedom book so illuminating. I am 87 yr old and the book covers my youth, from age 8 to 23--and oh, did I experience personally the depression and the war! It was good to fill in the details and understanding of things where I had fragmentary but profound experiences. I remember farmers dumping milk because they ...

You are not a failure if you do not make it.You are a success because you tried.
I think that this book is meant for every one of us on this earth.Reason is that we all go through tough times in our lives.Sometimes everything falls on our head all at once.Then we have no breathing space.We cannot see clearly were we are going,and what we should do.We are stressed to the maximum.This book shows us a way to analyze ourselves in different prospectives.How to handle things that ...

The Science of Fear: Why We Fear the Things We Shouldn't--and Put Ourselves in Greater Danger

3 reviews
Daniel Gardner

Dutton Adult, 2008

And the odds are . . .?
Dan Gardner's concerned about how we handle fear. In North America, of course, a single event, the 11 September attacks on the World Trade Centre and Pentagon generated a new level of fear in the population. So unexpected and abrupt was use of commercial aircraft in a terrorist assault that an avoidance of flying was the immediate and widespread reaction. Gardner, however, wants to consider ...

William Fay, Linda Shepherd

B&H Publishing Group, 1999

Bill's methods really work.
I know Bill Fay personally, and I have been with him many times when he was evangelizing. I have personally watched him leading dozens of people to Christ. The material in his book is not oversimplified or rationalized; Bill personally uses the methods he teaches. Everything in his book has been tested and refined in the crucible of experience. I have seen him successfully use the things he ...

Thich Nhat Hanh

Riverhead Trade, 2003

a must have! this book has saved me!
I first thought the book was simple and repetitive. But when I experienced a loss and re-read the book, I finally realized how profound this book really is. I had been dealing with the subject of death for quite a few years. (I started with the book HAGAKURE, by Tsunetomo Yamamoto. You may or may not like to check that out. It's a more stoic approach to similar subjects). Anyway, I ...

Fear and Loathing: On the Campaign Trail '72

Hunter S. Thompson

Grand Central Publishing, 2006

I'm Fearful After Reading This...
This book's setting is eerily similar to the current state of affairs going on in with the 2008 Presidential Election, with the Democrats picking themselves apart while the Republicans sit back and enjoy the show. Richard Nixon is shown as the abomination that he was and HST's writing is as animated and humorous as I have ever seen it. This book surpassed my expectations and was a surprisingly ...

Hamlet (No Fear Shakespeare)

6 reviews
William Shakespeare

SparkNotes, 2003

Golden Gate to Shakespeare
Bravo to the writers, editors, and publishers of the entire No Fear Shakespeare series. Rendering Shakespeare into prosaic, colloquial American English not only explains what Shakespeare was saying, but reveals how much better he said it! Here's a few examples from HAMLET: Hamlet sees the Ghost, but his mother doesn't. In modern lingo, she says, "This is only a figment of your imagination." ...

Faces of Fear: A Novel

John Saul

Ballantine Books, 2008

After a decade as a fan, John Saul continues to keep me coming back!
Speaking as someone who has been a fan of John Saul since reading COMES THE BLIND FURY over a decade ago, I am still intrigued at how the author continues to surprise and entertain his readers with each new release. FACES OF FEAR gives you everything you yearn for in a J.S. book: the highs and lows of family life, the revealing of secrets that are better off left hidden and a source of evil that ...
