Uncle John's Tales to Inspire (Uncle John Bathroom Reader)
2 reviews
Bathroom Readers' Institute
Portable Press
, 2006
Uncle John & Co. Deliver Some Heartwarming Tales!
Well, here's an appealing departure from the usual "Uncle John Bathroom Reader" fact books, a volume devoted to individuals who made a difference. The book's back cover claims this is a very special book and truer words were never spoken. Within the book's 285 pages are sections on individuals - including a surprising number of children and teens - who saw problems big and small and took ...

EDNA and Transformational Leadership
There are four classical "levels of discourse": Exposition, Description, Narration, and Argumentation (EDNA). Exposition uses information to explain, reveal, "expose," etc. Description makes vivid with compelling details and figurative language. Narrative tells a story with a plot or explains a sequence. Argumentation convinces with logic and/or evidence. So what? Actually, a great deal ...

Photos That Inspire: Photo Workshop
8 reviews
Lynne Eodice
Wiley
, 2007
Lots of great ideas here!
I've enjoyed the entire Photo Workshop series, and found this to be one of the best. I use the exercises as idea starters that often lead me in directions that are much different from what the author intended -- but I guess that's the idea. This book was especially valuable in coming up with new ways of shooting landscapes. Thank you!
Rooms to Inspire: Decorating With America's Best Designers
5 reviews
Annie Kelly
Rizzoli
, 2007
Inspiration Indeed!
The title of Annie Kelly's new book is spot-on -- the rooms featured here truly are inspirational. Although many of the interiors have been published previously in magazines or books, the images here offer a fresh perspective. For example, 12 pages are devoted to Kelly Wearstler's Hillcrest estate. The pictures show a slightly different view than what was published in Wearstler's second book, ...
Dads and Daughters: How to Inspire, Understand, and Support Your Daughter When She's Growing Up So Fast

Joe Kelly
Broadway
, 2003
Respectable Women are the Product of their Fathers
Just take a look at women who achieved and are respected ... and you will find the personification of the father's daughter. This book is a brilliant explanation of why the biological father must be around his children. The whole notion of single super power mother is complete fallacy because fathers are a much better protector of a daughter for reasons that have nothing to do with being ...

A copy should be on every speaker's reference shelf!
A professional speaker for 26 years, I now refer to Speak with Confidence before each presentation for a quick brush up--learn, don't read or memorize material; shorten material by cutting the skeleton, not the flesh; handling Q & A using the SEER formatŪ, and more! A copy should be on every speaker's reference shelf!

Electric charge for the busy executive
This book wins by combining powerful quotes with a format that's easy to digest. In a plane ride I was so invigorated by "Ready, Aim, Inspire!" that I bought it for my leadership team. Actually, the four martinis in First Class might have helped. But what's the difference?
A More Perfect Constitution: Why the Constitution Must Be Revised: Ideas to Inspire a New Generation
23 reviews
Larry J. Sabato
Walker & Company
, 2008
Washington Said We Should Fix It
Here's my take on it: The Founders put together the Constitution under intense pressure working from May 25th through September 17th, 1787. They took off every Sunday and five other days (total 20 days off) in a span of 112 days. The result was a remarkable document that none of them admitted to being satisfied with. It was chock full of compromises but it was the best they thought they could ...

Insipid.
I bought this book thinking it will be worth the effort and the investment even if one of the ideas in the book can lead to something useful. I read through a few random pages of the book and sifted through about 10 of the "ideas" (unfortunately after having bought the book). There's wasn't a single interesting idea out of the 10 (for a sample see idea no 151). Written in a rather simplistic ...
