An American who lived this as a teen and learned from it
At age 55, people often tell me that they envy the way I can apparently eat anything I wish and stay slim. That isn't true, of course, any more than it is for anyone else. But when I was 19, I went to Paris and worked as an au pair for a year, and after the initial culture shock (no eggs and bacon for breakfast?! supper late and small? Lunch big and SLOW?), I learned that I felt healthier and ...

Holt Paperbacks, 2004

Excellent, well written book
I will admit that it can be a bit technical for a few folks. His book makes you feel that he is teaching you in a classroom. The citations and references are informative.

Business Plus, 2004

HIGHLY recommended for every professional woman
I hadn't realized just how many things I was doing on a daily basis that were keeping me from acheiving my full potential at work. Some things in this book applied to me, others did not, but I have learned what I have been doing that is holding me back from moving forward at work and am working on changing those bad habits. A MUST READ for every professional woman.

A key resource for secondary or high school teachers
Tovani has produced a concise and practical resource for literacy development in high schools.

A truly magnificent work. Unlike many of the traditional McTherapy books that I wasted my money on, this book actually worked. It has transformed my life in ways that I cannot even begin to appreciate.

How to Get Rich: One of the World's Greatest Entrepreneurs Shares His Secrets

30 reviews
Felix Dennis

Portfolio Hardcover, 2008

Outstanding. Couldn't put it down
I have read probably about 20 or so books along these "getting rich" lines and I have to say that this is either my #1 or #2 favorite. (The other one that would vie for the top spot is How to be a Billioniare: Proven Strategies from the Titans of Wealth). Mr. Dennis's book is entertaining, inspiring, and chalk-full of high-yield advice and pearls of wisdom that any aspiring mogul should know. ...

Rich Get Richer and The Poor Get Prison, The (8th Edition)

Jeffrey Reiman

Allyn & Bacon, 2006

Everyone Needs to Know
Some criticisms of this book have been that the theoretical positions are not sound. However, the statistics presented are what they are and they are IMPORTANT! This book is, at the least, a fantastic source for viewing statistics on crime from all of the important sociological sources in one, comprehensive source. Theoretical positions in sociology are never 100% accurate. They can't be. The ...

Get Out of My Life, but First Could You Drive Me & Cheryl to the Mall: A Parent's Guide to the New Teenager, Revised and Updated
After having yet another argument with my 12-year old on why she needed to do her chores and homework instead of playing on the computer she threw at me the old "I hate living here and wish I could live with Dad!" So I went onto Amazon.com in search of a book that would solve the mysteries of why my lovable little girl was turning into a monster before my eyes. I ordered "Get Out of My Life, but ...

What to Do When Your Brain Gets Stuck: A Kid's Guide to Overcoming OCD (What-to-Do Guides for Kids)

10 reviews
Dawn Huebner

Magination Press, 2007

Well worth the price!
This has been a great book for my 13 year old son, who has OCD, along with autism. There is a very helpful analogy comparing dealing with obsessive thoughts with entering a movie theater--just like sometimes at first the theater's air conditioning is too cold or the sound is too loud, after a while, we get used to it. In the same way, if the child waits out the anxious thought, it too will go ...

Great Children's book
I've read this book with elementary aged children who had difficulty dealing with their anger, and they love it. It's short and to the point. I would recommend the book for ages 2-8.

C. J. Hayden

AMACOM, 2007

A must for consulting and other client-based businesses
This book contains a set of exercises and activities which have, in at least two cases that I know of, brought small businesses from near-insolvency to client saturation. Without spending for advertising, there are multiple techniques and a framework for effective implementation to make a company visible to its potential clients. You should have a buddy to do the 28 days, but it doesn't have to ...

Fannie Flagg

Ballantine Books, 2007

Grab it - quick!
First of all, for anyone who has not yet read Fannie Flagg, just what are you waiting for?! She is one of my favorite authors - I was hooked after reading Redbird Christmas also written by her, a couple of years ago. Since then, I have yet to be disappointed with any of Fannie Flagg's books and Can't Wait to Get to Heaven is no exception. Can't Wait to Get to Heaven focuses on elderly Mrs. ...

A Get Fuzzy Reading Guide - Collections vs. Treasuries
I won't go into how fantastic this comic strip is, but it is easily my favorite comic strip of all time. :) For the uninitiated, there are eight collections so far and three treasuries. The fourth treasury is not yet released. Please keep in mind that each treasury is two collections put together, so as far as I know the treasuries are the same as two of the collections, except I believe ...

John Ortberg

Zondervan, 2003

Men need to read this
I have read many of Ortberg's books but overlooked this one until now. Wow, what a great book. I have been quoting this book on a daily basis. The advice, which seems aimed at Men due to the fact that we have trouble with "fellowship" and opening up, is very helpful. Once again Mr Ortberg has made me search my soul, strengthen my faith, and laugh out loud. Very insightful and highly ...

J.D., Richard Montauk

Prentice Hall Press, 2007

Great book, but nothing new from previous editions
Needless to say, this book is now the Bible of MBA applications. What works: 1. Lots of advice, starting from the basics. 2. Tons of feedback from Admissions Committee Members 3. Essay samples What doesnt: 1. Essay samples are limited to people who were leaders, consultants, etc etc. I dont believe these form the majority, Instead, I think the majority applicants are engineers, ...
