Ice to the Eskimos: How to Market a Product Nobody Wants16 reviews
Jon Spoelstra
Collins Business, 1997
Superchage your marketing campaign!
Eskimos have all the ice they need and presumably don't perceive the need to get any more, let alone buy it. Joe Spoelestra illustrates how to take that ice and turn it into something desirable (a Slurpee) for example, or bundle it with something that makes it desirable - a sled and a lift to create an experience to sell. Joe details his experiences, primarily in sports marketing. They are ...

Nobody's Baby Now: Reinventing Your Adult Relationship with Your Mother and Father24 reviews
Susan Newman
Walker & Company, 2003
Simple, solid and marriage saving
As a professional in the field, what I like about Nobody's Baby Now is that the author gets to the point quickly and in clear, concise language. The author makes complicated problems and issues with parents easy to sort out and resolve. Her real life examples make you think she's talking about you and your parents. She has solutions for adult children who resort to child-like behavior when ...

Til The Fat Girl Sings: From an Overweight Nobody to a Broadway Somebody-A Memoir15 reviews
Sharon Wheatley
Adams Media, 2006
Great book!
I loved this story! It opened my eyes to a problem that I really wasn't tuned in to. An important story to tell. Not only that but I think sometimes we as individuals feel so alone, like we are the only people with problems, Sharon's story of overcoming adversity is a REAL inspiriation.

A great quick read
I just couldn't put this book down. Funny and he made some very good points. He gave me a totally different perspective on Tony Robbins. A must read.

The Family Nobody Wanted54 reviews
Helen Grigsby Doss
Little Brown & Co (T), 1954
This Book Probably Changed My Life
When I was in fifth grade, I remember I was sitting in music class when the librarian stopped by to ask me to return this book. One of the teachers wanted to use it in class, and I'd had it out so long, no one else could get a shot at it!
I was an only child, very bookish and introverted. I read and reread this book. I married a guy who planned to become a Methodist minister (like Helen ...

Divine Nobodies: Shedding Religion to Find God (and the unlikely people who help you)40 reviews
Jim Palmer
Thomas Nelson, 2006
Back To The Roots Of The 1st Century Christian Church
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! This book is a "must read" for anyone searching for deeper meaning in their walk with God. It opens the christian's mind and eyes to a lifestyle and not a belief... something that the 21st century church needs desperately.

Fall Down Laughing: How Squiggy Caught Multiple Sclerosis and Didn't Tell Nobody18 reviews
David Lander
Tarcher, 2000
Buy and read this book!
When my father finally told me he had MS (like David Lander, he kept it a secret), he suggested I read this book. The insight it gave me was priceless. Everyone will find their own path, but I can tell you that by sharing his experiences, Mr. Lander has helped me to be the best son (and friend) that I can be.

Fabulous Nobodies14 reviews
Lee Tulloch
Avon A, 2006
Given this book as gift a dozen times
The writing is masterful, the characters are alive, the story has a compelling mythical power, it should've won a pulitzer. It is wonderful and splendid and shall never perish. It has a deep, soulful message. It has an archetypal power, it shall become a classic. It could be the basis of a great Broadway musical, and we know they are not making great musicals nowadays. Just as My Fair Lady is a ...

All Rise: Somebodies, Nobodies, and the Politics of Dignity (BK Currents (Hardcover))10 reviews
Robert W Fuller
Berrett-Koehler Publishers, 2006
My 12 year old gets it, why is it so difficult for me?
My 12 year old transferred schools mid semester. He was the 'mayor' of his old school...very popular. Now he says, "I was a somebody, and now at the new school I am a nobody." The new school is better but he wants out.
It is easy to see it in kids, but Robert Fuller has identified an issue so pervasive and so ingrained that we adults don't even notice it. Sometimes it takes a great thinker (or ...

Nobody loves a drunken Indian12 reviews
Clair Huffaker
David McKay Company, Inc., 1967
One of my favorite all-time books
My older sister was a librarian when this book came out. Think I was [quite young] when I first read it (what can I say, I was precocious!). I was always the type of kid who rooted for the horses and Indians before even thinking about the cowboys. This book made a *huge* impression on me. For a white-bread Army brat, it was hard to imagine the life on the Paiute reservation, but the author's ...

Being Nobody, Going Nowhere, Revised: Meditations on the Buddhist Path12 reviews
Ayya Khema
Wisdom Publications, 2001
Meaningful words for checking the ego.
A book that transcends the page and leaves the reader with insight long after putting it down. It is written in a style that is easy for Western Bhuddist readers to comprehend. Well worth the time and money to read. Ayya Khema's book is a summary of lessons at a Bhuddist retreat in Sri Lanka, but it reads like an overview of the most important Bhuddist teachings in one volume.

Becky Ray McCain
Albert Whitman & Company, 2001
For All Ages -
This book is rated among the timeless and yet it is VERY TIMELY for this period of our lives. It is not only interesting, but it guides 'anyone' to understanding the difference in "telling" and in "reporting something to prevent harm". The author is at the top of the list for the very best of authors in Childrens' Books!

This is an unusual and deeply beautiful collection. The language is fantastic, and all the stories are rollicking and resonant. The story "Ellen's book is a lesson in how to write a perfect, poignant short story. "Goodnight, Nobody" was my book club's favorite last year--don't miss it!

Don Höglund
Free Press, 2006
The heroic effort to save the wild horses of White Sands
Any number of adjectives come to mind when I begin to contemplate the rescue of these magnificent creatures. Heroic, compassionate, courageous and dedicated only begin to describe the efforts of the team assembled by Don Hoglund and others. "Nobody's Horses" tells the amazing and heartwarming story of the rescue of some 2000 wild horses from the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico in 1995. ...

No Body's Perfect: Stories by Teens about Body Image, Self-Acceptance, and the Search for Identity10 reviews
Kimberly Kirberger
Scholastic Paperbacks, 2003
Insightful and very helpful
I will admit; I have been struggling with body image and "looks" for about as long as I can remember. This book by Kimberly Kirberger helps me to realize that no body is perfect, and that you need to embrace what you look like and have. If you can totally accept yourself the way you are, then you are on your way to success.
After reading this book, I came to realize, and "saw the light" so to ...
