Melody Beattie
HarperOne, 1996
Great Book
I had her first book and really like it, but this one is better! The entries are short, but are incredibly motivational and offer a great deal of food for thought. They are a perfect way to end the day on a positive note! I would reccommend this to anyone.

Pass Through Panic: Freeing Yourself From Anxiety and Fear22 reviews
Clair Weekes
audible.com
Helpful
The main argument that Claire Weekes makes in these talks is that fighting the feelings that are upsetting you actually prolongs them. Having suffered from anxiety and depression on and off throughout my life, I immediately knew that what she was saying was 100% true. When you're experiencing feelings that are painful and uncomfortable, your first response is to try to do whatever you can to ...

Foolsgold: Making Something from Nothing and Freeing Your Creative Process6 reviews
Susan G. Wooldridge
Harmony, 2007
jump-start your creative side
I purchased this book yesterday, hoping it would reach the stellar heights of Poemcrazy, and so far, Susan has not let me down. I have read about one quarter of the book and the only thing preventing me from being further along(I'm a fast reader)is the fact I have been writing furiously in my journal. My hand is aching, my neck is sore, my dog wants to play, and dinner is not even a figment of my ...

Freeing the Natural Voice: Imagery and Art in the Practice of Voice and Language10 reviews
Kristin Linklater
Drama Publishers, 2006
Highly Recommended
As a theatre director, I have read a lot of books about other directors and stagecraft, and far fewer about the intimate work of the actor. I never got around to making a close study of voice until now, and FTNV has been a wonderful revelation for me.
Not only is Linklater's work imagistically strong and physically clear, but the thoughtful and careful way she approaches "release" seems a ...

Rick Carson
Collins Living, 2008
Helping Me to Help Others
As a teacher and collegiate athletic coach I found "A Master Class in Gremlin Taming" to be extremely beneficial. Carson's Gremlin Taming method helps me be aware of the barriers I create that limit my potential. By being aware of my own blocks, I am able to help my students and athletes notice theirs as well. We can both then move toward unleashing our fullest potential.
While mastering ...

Poemcrazy: Freeing Your Life with Words47 reviews
Susan G. Wooldridge
Three Rivers Press, 1997
Crazy about Poemcrazy
I am completely crazy about this book and I don't normally read poetry books or books about writing poetry. But as a HS librarian I was trying to find something to help my English teachers who struggle every year to come up with lesson ideas for their poetry units. I struck gold with this book. I actually took six of Wooldridge's ideas and created lesson plans from them which I share with the ...

So helpful as a companion to therapy
If your child is suffering from OCD and you're exploring therapy, this book should help reinforce the behavior therapy techniques that will be taught to get the disorder under control. You'll learn exactly what kinds of things to say and what not to in a crisis moment. This book made me feel like there is hope, and it has helped enormously.

Regime Change Begins at Home: Freeing America from Corporate Rule6 reviews
Charles Derber
Berrett-Koehler Publishers, 2004
A spirited and inspiring wake up call
If you have read either Corporation Nation or People Before Profit, I am sure you will want to read this new book by Charles Derber. In my opinion his new book provides an even more readable introduction to the ideas of an author who is on the path to becoming one of the nation's foremost public intellectuals. As far as I am concerned this is not a good book, it is a great book. According to ...

Ram Dass, Stephen Levine
Celestial Arts, 1988
A very useful book
This book really helped me bring more of my spiritual growth into my daily life. Most of the spiritual books I have read have been written by non-Americans with monastic backgrounds, and the disconnect in lifestyles has been the most difficult thing to bridge. I understand more fully now what the eastern teachers are talking about when they say that America has to create its own traditions ...

I Am Not A Number!: Freeing America from the ID State6 reviews
Claire Wolfe
Loompanics Unlimited, 1998
Level-headed and pragmatic radicalism
Wolfe's cynicism towards both big government and violent political fringe groups, without any paranoia and hysteria, is a welcome change from books of this type (not unlike her previous book, "101 Things To Do 'Til the Revolution"). Instead of a typical "globalist conspiracy, grab your guns and head for the hills" type of book, this is an investigation of just how your rights are being eroded, ...

I am a 16 year old Latina that just read Yasmin's first few pages of her book and fell in love with it. I could not let go, every page was full of amazing advise and encouraging words. I can really relate to Yasmin's life and pasion for life. Her book inspired me to become a more educated women and extremely proud of being and empowered Latina. In this book she talks about her struggle with ...

Freeing someone you love from alcohol and other drugs4 reviews
R. Rogers
Perigee Trade, 1992
The best book on its subject
As the parent of a wonderful adult son who became addicted to a narcotic, I have read countless books and materials on this topic. This is the single most helpful source I have found. The advice is both hard-hitting and compassionate, and the way in which it is presented is very readable and accessible (I read it in two nights in two sittings). If someone you love is addicted to alcohol or ...

Freeing the Soul from Fear6 reviews
Robert Sardello
Riverhead Trade, 2001
The book is right on
This book tell us how our fear distorts the soul and offers suggestions to free the soul from fear. I believe what the book says and I have tried some of the suggestions which seem to be working. I would also highly recommend the book An Encounter With a Prophet and the suggestions given in that book to overcome fear and resentment.

Are you ready to change your life?
Not having read another book on herpes, I cannot compare this book to any other book. However, I can compare my health before and after reading "Making Peace With Herpes" and working with Christopher, and I will never need drug therapy, and I have not had any more outbreaks.
Everything I do now is for the better of my health, herpes, body, and soul, because I am living and eating and loving ...
