The New Rules of Posture: How to Sit, Stand, and Move in the Modern World

16 reviews
Mary Bond

Healing Arts Press, 2006

The New Rules of Posture
I found this book, The New Rules of Posture, extremely helpful and accessible. The text is crisp and moves along nicely. In addressing the quasi-intangible subject of posture, an author could easily tend toward the abstract and miss the opportunity to provide substantial answers; conversely, detailed analysis of the human body's myriad and complex patterns, movements and compensations could, in ...

essential reading for economic policy
Everybody knows that the US economy is generating a lot of low-wage, dead-end service jobs. Now there's a book that knows what to do about it. This book is chock full of cheap, practical, useful ways of turning dead-end jobs into careers, linking jobs to training, facilitating employee organization. Should be part of the platform for Republicans and Democrats.

It just makes sense!
I have working in marketing for years and have even dabbled in new marketing, social media and the like. The New Rules of Marketing and PR just takes it to a whole new level where it just makes sense! After reading I have an entirely new focus around our day to day activities as well as our overall marketing strategy. I keep it on my desk and am constantly referring to it or the thousands ...

Fireside, 2006

Read this book before applying for college
The best thing about this book is that it tells you what colleges NOT to apply to. It shows you how to match your GPA/SAT scores with colleges that are looking for students in that range. If your GPA is 3.2 and you want to go to Stanford, you are not going to get accepted so don't waste your time, emotions and money applying there. Look for colleges who take 3.2 GPA students. It also cautions ...

Get results without overtraining
As the mother of 11-month old, I am still in the process of losing the dreaded last ten pounds. Although most people tell me that I don't even look like I've had a baby, they don't know that I have to squeeze into the jeans that used to fit me perfectly because my stomach isn't as flat as it used to be. I'm one of those girls the magazines call "skinny fat"--thin with no physical strength or ...

New Rules for the New Economy

44 reviews
Kevin Kelly

Penguin (Non-Classics), 1999

Pursue opportunities and new opportunites arise, maximize opportunites for others verses solving problems.
Networks provide easy and constant communication and thereby speed up experience through the network. Once the network is established, it propagates explosive growth with relatively little added genius. The power of the network is abundance; the more plentiful things become, the more valuable they become; and copies are cheap. The value of the invention, company, or technology increases ...

New Rules of Lifting: Six Basic Moves for Maximum Muscle

Lou Schuler, Alwyn Cosgrove

Avery, 2005

LIFT WEIGHTS!!!
I recently bought their other book "New Rules of Lifting for Women" and decided that I needed this one as well since I am a Personal Trainer. I like how they bring it back down to the basic classics that have worked for centuries. Power lifting is the original functional training. And with all these crazy fads its nice to see some good common sense advice. These moves maybe classics but they ...

The New Rules of Marriage: What You Need to Know to Make Love Work

Terrence Real

Ballantine Books, 2008

A Lot of Wisdom
Lots of wisdon between these pages, and the nice thing is one member of a couple can use it alone if necessary. Includes the best explanation and discussion of "boundaries" I have ever read. Though the information is marriage specific, the skills discussed apply to all relationships, including non-romantic ones. Personally I wish there were no "case histories" included because the reader knows ...

Truth: The New Rules for Marketing in a Skeptical World

Lynn B. Upshaw

AMACOM, 2007

Lynn Upshaw's "Truth"
Lynn Upshaw's "Truth" should be everyone's truth! This is the pragmatic marketing book with a soul. It isn't a book just for marketers, it's for the whole of organizations to read, from CEOs to CFOs to sales teams to HR departments and strategy groups. I can even think of two political parties that could benefit from its teachings... The perfect book at the right time.

Great read for teens, young people, or just about anyone
I absolutely loved "The New Rules of High School." The wide variety of characters, with contrasting, but unique and very real and developed personalities made this book a must read. The plot is somewhat simple, but so very compelling. This book follows the main character,Max through his senior year of high school. During this he struggles to define himself as an individual after his breakup ...

Allen Myerson, Gretchen Morgenson, ...

Times Books, 2001

Great book for present times
I saw this book in my library and decided to pick it up because the book is quite recent. I found that the book was easier to read. Not too complex and it talked about the bursting of the bubble, etc. I liked the section on evaulating stocks and the on analysts. I think it is a good read. Highly recommend.

The New Rules

John P. Kotter

Free Press, 1997

Outstanding advice for workers of all levels...
Similar to the advice offered by Darden finance professor Bob Bruner, himself a member of the HBS class profiled in this book, Kotter demonstrates that those who shunned the corporate world in favor of more impactful jobs with smaller companies have succeeded beyond the levels of their corporate ladder classmates. Go to small companies and make a difference in the world. Push yourself. Don't ...

Webster's New World Robert's Rules of Order Simplified and Applied

7 reviews
Robert McConnell Productions

Webster's New World, 2001

excellent companion volume
Do not be confused. This book is not Robert's Rules of Order (RROO). It is a companion volume designed to explain RROO. It is, however, a very good companion which I found to be very easy to understand and contained some very up-to-date information like how to vote by e-mail. It has some other nice features like scripts to use in meetings. However, it lacks a simple table of motions, ...

A textbook on bringing new thinking to old games
Wayne Schmittberger is a longtime associate of Games Magazine. It's a lot of fun to tinker with games to see how they change. The growth in Chess Variants is just one aspect of this. He explains those well, along with variants on Go, Risk, Monopoly, and many other games. He introduces many games you probably haven't seen before. All of them are great games, too! If you are considering ...

The New Rules of Money: 88 Simple Strategies for Financial Success Today

Ric Edelman

Collins, 1999

Edelman is a controversial guy
No doubt that Edelman is a very controversial guy--just check out these reviews. However, Edelman is also very knowledgeable and very accurate. He accurately called the Index Fund fallout as early as 1998. HE WAS WIDELY CRITICIZED FOR THAT. But as someone who listened to him, I am glad he was so perceptive!Likewise, Edelman suggests to carry a mortgage vs having a paid off mortgage and invest the ...
