Mind-Opening. Sad. Comical. Frightening. Genuine. Interesting.

Ph.D., D.D., Joseph Murphy
Prentice Hall Press, 2008
Excellent for Learning How to Take Control of Your Life
This is an old book which is excellent for taking control of your life. The author is well known and well educated in metaphysics, religion and the understanding of True Religion. He is a very SAFE writer for any age desiring to improve their lives. I was very, very disappointed by the publisher's statement that the book was racist, and so many other negative terms. The publisher stated that ...

This book was recommended by my phychologist. He couldn't have been more right on. This is the first real help I have had in solving a lot of anxiety and stress in my life.

I would buy it again and I would recommend to all who want to ...

A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future188 reviews
Daniel H. Pink
Riverhead Trade, 2006
Fresh and clear.
I appreciate the easy-to-read style of the important information in this book. I liked the way that Pink made clear the way that he defines his senses and gave exercises to develop those senses. His argument, or, as he would like to say, his story was cogent and his textual evidence is not disputable.

Informative - should be read by all parents and teachers!
This book clearly defines how different minds learn and process the vast amounts of information encountered on a daily basis in school and in everyday life.

Sharon Begley
Ballantine Books, 2007
Very insightful!
Sharon Begley's "Train Your Mind Change Your Brain" does a fine job of exploring the science of neuroplasticity which upends long thought beliefs that the brain becomes hardwired early in life and can't be changed other than through physical techniques like medication, etc. Rather, by concentrating one's thinking in certain ways, actual physical changes can be effected in the brain. That is, the ...

A Champion's Mind: Lessons from a Life in Tennis20 reviews
Pete Sampras, Peter Bodo
Crown, 2008
A fan's mind: Lessons learned
Pete Sampras' "A Champion's Mind" is indeed a 15th grand slam.
It never ceases to amaze me how generally people that move quiet, are soft spoken and calm are, turn to be the best writers, authors and talkers. Sampras' may have got a bit of help from his editor, but still it is impressive how relaxing and smooth this book can be... pretty much as his tennis was.
It is an interesting read ...

Howard Gardner, Hobbs Professor of Cognition and Education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, is a psychologist and author known for his theory of multiple intelligences.

The Political Mind: Why You Can't Understand 21st-Century American Politics with an 18th-Century Brain 10 reviews
George Lakoff
Viking Adult, 2008
Metaphorical wars cannot be won or lost
The war on terror is just a metaphor. The war on drugs is just a metaphor. Perhaps if this book had been published six years ago, we could have prevented our invasion and occupation of Iraq.
For more than ten years I have been searching for a
metaphor to counter the war on drugs metaphor. With no success.
However, by pointing out that the so-called war on drugs is just a metaphor, we ...
