The Art of True Thinking
I have come to the realization that True Thinking is an art form. What is, you may ask, "True Thinking"? True Thinking is the conscious and deliberate act of raising your thoughts up from the mundane to the Holy and the Divine. I'm not talking about religion when I speak of those terms, I'm speaking from a place/a space of Spirit. If I simply spoke from a religious point of view, I would not be ...

How to Think About the Great Ideas: From the Great Books of Western Civilization

8 reviews

Open Court Publishing Company, 2008

Summary Without Loss of Depth
How do you summarize a summary of 2500 years of thought? Great! Mortimer Adler was one of the greatest philosophers of the 20th Century, primarily because of the literally ecyclopaedic nature of his knowledge. I say literally encyclopaedic because he edited the Encyclopaedia Britanica and wrote The Synopticon, a summary of Western philosophy, among the scores of other books bearing his name. ...

I think there's something wrong with the Cover Jacket Design, and probably with the Title! This book deserve more that the few review and (probably) sales! The writer is a very successful speaker, but most probably the not a good marketers? i m not sure, but i think this is a GREAT BOOK with GOOD CONTENT.

Michael F. Andrew

BookSurge Publishing, 2008

Comprehensive leadership topics and more!
Having read many, many leaderships books and journals during the course of my academic tenure and professional career, I can say that this one hit all the important topics. Not only did Mr. Andrew address those topics in a thoughtful and succinct manner, but, in addition, he covered some topics that are rarely included in most management books: managing your boss and networking (which he calls ...

Pack the sales punches
This is one of the best books on selling I'd read in years. In the software world, hard-sell is dead. Try consultative selling the Bill Stinnet way. I used some of the ideas in the book eg., mapping out the buying process and offering it as as part of an important visual information to the gatekeeper to reach the decision maker - and it works! I have used the concept of getting the buyer to ...

Marla Taviano

Harvest House Publishers, 2007

Eye-opening look at the role of sex in a Christian marriage
Is That All He Thinks About by Marla Taviano is a fantastic read about the Christian outlook on sex. I was hesitant about the book at first, but the blurb on the back from the writer's husband Gabe made me take a look: Buy this book, read it and do everything Marla says. In the end, it was a great read. I learned a lot about how men think and why sex is so important to marriage. Taviano makes ...

Scott Brown

Viking Adult, 2003

For me, a life-changing book
Scott Brown has given my life with my children more perspective than any other book. This book is amazing, and yet, nothing in there is all that earth-shattering. I took away from the book a few key points: 1. Keep your emotions in check. 2. Don't respond emotionally to your child, but do show your emotions (read the book to find out how!) 3. Name yours and your child's emotions 4. Truly try to ...

Bid Better Play Better: How to Think at the Bridge Table

Dorothy Truscott

Baron Barclay Bridge, 1998

. . . or Card Sense for Dummies
Thank goodness Dorothy Hayden wrote this classic BEFORE " for Dummies" became the obvious title for any non-text book one might read to learn ANYTHING. Yet, that is really what this book is about. Reading (and practicing what you learn by reading) will indeed develop "card sense" where once there was very little (or none). After you have the basics of our amazing game in hand, this book can help ...

Everyday Crisis Management: How to Think Like an Emergency Physician

Mark L., M.D. Friedman

Archer-Ellison Publishing, 2002

Essential to Every Executive's "Tool Box"
I cannot think of a better model for designing, establishing, and maintaining crisis management resources and capabilities in any organization than that provided by a medical emergency room. Those already familiar with the highly acclaimed television series, E.R., no doubt recall especially dramatic portrayals of (quite literally) life-or-death crises. Members of real-world emergency room staffs ...

Edward De Bono

Penguin Books Ltd, 1990

Think Better Than Ivy-league Professors
I am thoroughly impressed with Edward De Bono's matter-of-fact, wholly insightful, and unique yet practical work(s) published in the field of Thinking over the last four decades. After listening to De Bono's taped works (such as "Teach Yourself to Think"), I was both saddened and amazed to realize how limited in scope were the types and tools of thinking I was taught in higher education. The ...

Moral Questions in the Classroom: How to Get Kids to Think Deeply about Real Life and their School Work

4 reviews
Katherine G. Simon, Nancy Faust Sizer, ...

Yale University Press, 2001

Educating the Heart and Mind
The idea of moral education is one that may be frowned upon by those who seek a values-free, non-indoctrinative approach to schooling. Simon skillfully shows the fault in such simplistic notions. Moral and existential questions are at the heart of true intellectual inquiry. The life of the mind is fueled by questions that matter to the heart. The curriculum is vitalized by the integration of ...

Stephen P. Kramer

HarperCollins, 1987

An excellent introduction to scientific thinking for young kids!
I often buy bulk copies of this wonderful book to give away to young kids who attend my 5-Day hands-on learning camp, aptly entitled 'Science & The Art of Discovery.' My principal objective is to teach young kids how to think scientifically, inventively & productively. The two authors have done a great job in producing this excellent piece of work. Although it has only 44 pages, the contents ...

Zen in the Art of the SAT: How to Think, Focus, and Achieve Your Highest Score

5 reviews
Matt Bardin, Susan Fine

Graphia, 2005

best buy for SAT assistance
My parents got me a couple of books intended to help me on the SATIs and IIs. "Zen in the Art of the SAT" was by far the most helpful. When I took the PSAT I was very nervous and didn't do as well as I would have liked. This book emphasized the development of an overall technique that increased my math, writing, and reading comprehension scores. I highly reccommend it.

The Book of Think: Or, How to Solve a Problem Twice Your Size

Marilyn Burns

Demco Media, 1976

I still own my copy from 16 years ago!
I just pulled out my copies of this book and The I Hate Mathematics Book! to show to someone. I read them both prolifically from years 8-12 or so, and to this day pick them up occasionally. I was curious to see if it was still in print, and pleasantly suprised. My copy of this book is so well worn, the cover is falling off of it. The Book of Think, simply put, is a book that teaches critical ...

Lynn Lott, Barbara Mendenhall, ...

Career Pr Inc, 1999

No Quick Fixes
This book is chock full of ideas. It actually feels heavy, heavier than it should for its size. The book is well organized and the authors give the theory in a familiar way, with lots of examples, and then follow up with hints, locks, keys, and activities. Anyone can pick up this book, open to any page, and find something helpful. The top card information is particularly clear. There are ...
