Douglas Sarine, Kent Nichols
Three Rivers Press, 2008
Pure Ninja Awesomness
When my Ninja Handbook arrived I was full of sweet anticipation and let me say...it NEVER disappoints! It's hilarious and page-turnery and full of charts and illustrations and pictures and seriously funny instructions and guidelines and exercises and beasts and weapons...and I mean PACKED FULL! It's got somewhere around 300 pages and I didn't want to stop reading it. And it's ...

Forward the Foundation (Foundation Novels) 53 reviews
Isaac Asimov
Spectra, 1994
Best outside of the original trilogy
I am a huge Asimov fan, but I have always been dissapointed by his later fiction, which never seems to have the life and tight plotting that his earlier stuff does. That is, untll AI read Forward the Foundation. Returning to the style of the original books, Forward the Foundation is a series of short stories, each separated by ten years, rather than a single narrative. And much like in the ...

Changing for Good: A Revolutionary Six-Stage Program for Overcoming Bad Habits and Moving Your Life ...32 reviews
James O. Prochaska, John Norcross, ...
Collins Living, 1995
What a nice change!
Unlike most self-help books out there, this one is actually based on research for a change. Based on this Phd's work on how people change, this guy has uncovered the different, predictable stages of change that people go through when they attempt to get themselves to change. Although the stages are fairly predictable, not everybody goes through them in the exact same order as some people skip ...

Toxic Parents: Overcoming Their Hurtful Legacy and Reclaiming Your Life120 reviews
Susan Forward, Craig Buck
Bantam, 2002
Also read "Be Sweet" by Roy Blount Jr
If Susan Forward never typed another word her life would be well spent. This book should be required reading for every expectant mother or couple... the sooner we stop the legacy of bad parenting the better. Just as important adults can figure themselves out better if they get a better insight into their own childhoods.
I think one of the great unsung books on the subject of toxic parenting ...

Backwards & Forwards: A Technical Manual for Reading Plays 15 reviews
David Ball
Southern Illinois University Press, 1983
Excellent and easy to read.
I've been acting for ten years and got my first directing assignment. I know a lot about directing from having been directed, but this book was a great guide for script analysis with the big picture in mind, not just one character. The show was a success and the actors still like me.

Men Who Hate Women and the Women Who Love Them : When Loving Hurts and You Don't Know Why57 reviews
Susan Forward, Joan Torres
Bantam, 2002
A Must Read For All!
This book amazed me. I was expecting this book to completely demonize a lot of the abusive men and abusive parents. It showed me nobody is above the human condition on how they REACT to certain treatment given by the emotional horrors of psychological abuse. Although there have been huge troubled spots in my relationship and I suspected something was not right about the way I was talked to, ...

Derivatives Markets (2nd Edition) (Addison-Wesley Series in Finance)8 reviews
Robert L. McDonald
Addison Wesley, 2005
Book is good; Price is not
I was recommended this text book by the study material I was using to prepare the acturial exam FM. Then I came to check this book here and I found out that the price here is way too much higher. With this price, you can buy both the text book and its solution mannual in Actex Mad River with free UPS shipping. Hope this will help.

Emotional Blackmail: When the People in Your Life Use Fear, Obligation, and Guilt to Manipulate You67 reviews
Susan Forward, Donna Frazier
Harper Paperbacks, 1998
For those in need, I highly recommend this book!
I myself am currently in the FOG that she describes in this and it has hit home very well and helping me redeem myself. She's VERY good at explaining and assisting. Sometimes I feel she's right there. Very informative about the different types of emotional blackmailers. I'm not done reading, but have gotten 3/4 of the way and I am so happy I bought this book. It caught my eye one day browsing ...

Obsessive Love: When It Hurts Too Much to Let Go22 reviews
Susan Forward, Craig Buck
Bantam, 2002
Get over that "one magic person"
I hate those reviewers who write, "this book changed my life," but this book saved my life. I was able to quit a very toxic relationship after 3 years while reading this book. The exercises really help because it's so eye opening to finally see on paper our unhealthy patterns and behaviors. Her section that explains the difference between feelings and thoughts is very enlightening since most of ...

Newt Gingrich

Why is this man not a choice for the upcoming election?
Newt makes so much sense in his spoken word as well as here in his book. I only wish more people would read it and get a clue.

Forward From Here: Leaving Middle Age--and Other Unexpected Adventures12 reviews
Reeve Lindbergh
Simon & Schuster, 2008
Getting Older, Getting Braver
Forward from Here is Reeve Lindbergh's best book yet. Funny, tender, compassionate, profound, Lindbergh reveals herself to be an accomplished and graceful writer--something you might already suspect if you have read her earlier books, Under a Wing (about growing up Lindbergh, with two extraordinary parents, Charles Lindbergh and Anne Morrow Lindbergh) and No More Words (about her mother's decline ...

Her poem, "Live With Intention," has been a perpetual inspiration to me since the day I read it, and the words and images in this book help take that inspiration to an even deeper level. Part art, part philosophy, part friendly reminder, this book is a joyous ...
