Be Careful What You Pray For...You Just Might Get It 7 reviews
Larry Dossey
HarperOne, 1998
Think in the Beauty Way
Larry Dossey describes the Navajo belief in the power of words, the importance of thinking and speaking in a positive way -- in "the Beauty Way." Counter this with how easily caretakers can "hex" a patient's recovery with such statements as, "You have three months to live if you're lucky," or, "Only 2% of people with this kind of cancer survive more than a year." Dossey is a physician and ...

How to Get Ideas 55 reviews
Jack Foster
Berrett-Koehler Publishers, 2007
The original book came out in 1996. This new version only has 1 review so far - so I wrote a second.
This is a really good book. It was entertaining to read while also educational. The first edition came out in 1996 I think, and this edition just came out earlier this month. The new edition has two new chapters, 5 and 8, which were added because readers thought the information they contain was missing from the first edition.
The book is split into two parts. The first part covers 10 ways you ...

A TRUE KICK BUTT APPROACH
I enjoyed this book. You must be really objective to appreciate this. If you are willing to make the suggesred efforts to change your life, it will truly pay off. I feel that this approach to life is better than whining, complaining and blaming others for what is wrong with your life. I'm sure we all know at least one person like this.

Perfect for smart people looking for a new job or challenge
Slesinger's book is an excellent blueprint for beginning a search and following through, even when life gets in the way. The step-by-step game plan and practical advice alone are worth the cover price, and best of all Slesinger leaves you motivated and feeling like you want to immediately get started hunting for your next great job.

Larry Gets Lost in Seattle (Larry Gets Lost)13 reviews
John Skewes and Robert Schwartz
Sasquatch Books, 2007
Alternately Charming, Informative, And Evocative
This is my 18-month-old son's favorite book at the moment -- despite the fact that he's never visited Seattle, owned a dog, or met anybody named Pete (yet). But you don't have to be a kid to enjoy this tome; it's also the ideal book for anybody with a passing interest in where the Mariners play, what "The Fremont Troll" looks like, and the process by which aesthetically magnificent design & ...

Debt-Free Living: How to Get Out of Debt and Stay Out 22 reviews
Larry Burkett
Moody Pr, 2000
The truth about debt and credit. This book can help a lot of people!
This is a really good book concerning financial issues that face almost everyone.
Larry Burkett's easy-to-read advice is truly a blessing to the Christian community, and I highly recommend it. God does not want our lives to be financially unstable. The different couples in this book and the situations that they suffer through allow the reader to see how finances can spiral out of control.

Now You're Talking! All You Need to Get Your First Amateur Radio License, Fifth Edition41 reviews
American Radio Relay League, 2003
Excellent resource for the technicians test...
If you want to actually know why the answers are what they are on the test, instead of just taking practice test after practice test and trying to memorize answers, then you NEED this book. I wasn't satisfied just taking the practice tests online and memorizing answers, so I bought this book - learned the information - and almost got a perfect score on the FCC's technicians class test. Most ...

Real Men Get Prostate Cancer Too:The Information You Want Your Doctor to Tell You but You're Too Scared to Ask3 reviews
Larry Axmaker
Olde and Graye Publishing, 2008
Real men need this book.
Because we women and other life partners play such a pivotal role in getting the men in our lives the health care they need (and resist), this book is not only for a newly diagnosed man with prostate cancer, but it is extremely helpful for his partner. Nothing bets sound information like this so you're better prepared to ask all the right questions of your health care team. Dr. Axmaker has done ...

Larry Dennis
National Golf Foundation, 1998
A great book for all golfers!
A BEGINNER'S GUIDE TO GOLF is a great book that all golfers should read. It is especially designed for people like myself who are beginners and need guidance in getting started in this great game. This book does not go into great detail and is very easy to understand. It is hard for me to describe the contents of this wonderful book, so I will list the chapters to give you a feel for what this ...

Larry North
Summit Publishing Group, 1993
The best book I have ever read on fitness
I read several newsletters and magazines on health, nutrition,
fitness, and longevity every month, and have read dozens
of books on health and fitness. GET FIT is the ONLY book I've ever
read where I could find NO misinformation. (Believe me, I looked
hard!) And this book covers
a lot of ground. Granted, GET FIT is no literary
masterpiece, but it's easy to understand and enjoyable to read. ...

How to Get Better at Chess: Chess Masters on Their Art 4 reviews
Larry Evans, Jeremy B. Silman, ...
Summit Pub, 1991
A great read for serious players!
This is a great book. The only problem is that the title is inappropriate and misleading. It should be titled "Opinions on Chess by the Top Players." This is not a book on chess theory but rather a transcript, if you will, of GMs and IMs giving their general opinions on the game, namely on how to improve, recommended books, and anecdotes. If you have ever wanted to "interview" a top player, buy ...
