Never Shower in a Thunderstorm: Surprising Facts and Misleading Myths About Our Health and the World We Live ...7 reviews
Anahad O'Connor

Times Books, 2007

Great Fun and Most Informative
This book was great fun to read. Many myths, legends, sayings, old wives' tales, etc., all related in some way to health and life, are either debunked or confirmed - and rationales are provided. The author appears to have researched each topic quite exhaustively - not only through reviewing published papers in the scientific and medical literature but also through interviewing acknowledged ... 		  
  







  
  
Train Your Mind, Change Your Brain: How a New Science Reveals Our Extraordinary Potential to Transform ...69 reviews
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 ... 		  
  







  
  
Our Bodies, Ourselves: A New Edition for a New Era24 reviews
Boston Women's Health Book Collective, Judy Norsigian

Touchstone, 2005

EXCELLENT Resource for Females of ALL AGES
I was delighted to find that "Our Bodies Ourselves" is being kept current. Fortunately for me I had a great Women and Health course taught by Cheryl Travis (check her research out too) at the Univ of TN back in the early 80's. It was undoubtedly one of the best classes I've ever been blessed to have and was taught by a very very great person -- Cheryl Travis. Amazon mistakenly sent me two ...

Eternal Echoes: Celtic Reflections on Our Yearning to Belong17 reviews
John O'donohue

Harper Perennial, 2000

Touches the soul
This book is from the soul, and we all need soul food every now and again. I picked it up in Ireland while chilling out from a broken marriage and it spoke to me like no other book has ever done. With prose like exquisite poetry, John O' Donohue touches the soul with a true taste of spirituality. Very inspirational, it's wonderful to read a work of art that is so "biblical" in it's ability to ...

The Body Toxic: How the Hazardous Chemistry of Everyday Things Threatens Our Health and Well-being5 reviews
Nena Baker

North Point Press, 2008

Well Done
Body Toxic, by journalist Nena Baker, is a well researched book on a sobering and chilling topic. Baker describes the ineffectiveness of both the EPA and FDA. She writes: "A scathing 2007 report prepared by members of the agency's own science advisory panel concluded that the FDA is suffering from serious deficiencies that put American lives at risk." All of us--regardless of how well we ... 		  
  







  
  
Making up the Mind: How the Brain Creates Our Mental World4 reviews
Chris Frith

Wiley-Blackwell, 2007

Smashing
Every once in a while, I read a book which performs a sort of miraculous feat. It sets out to do the seemingly impossible, and then not only does so, but does so in a way which seems almost effortless. Chris Frith's book "The Making Up The Mind" is like this. Its task is nothing less than to explain "how the brain creates our mental world" to a popular but educated audience - and in the space ...

Animals and the Afterlife: True Stories of Our Best Friends' Journey Beyond Death39 reviews
Kim Sheridan

Hay House, 2006

Life Changing
This book was not only healing but an inspiration that led my husband and I to animal rescue work. Working with local shelters and rescue groups, we provide a final home and end-of-life care for small animals that are too emotionally or physically ill to be successfully adopted into the average household. Our current "furry crew" consists of rabbits, chinchillas, fancy rats, gerbils, a mouse, a ... 		  
  







  
  
The Cup of Our Life: A Guide for Spiritual Growth15 reviews
Joyce Rupp

Ave Maria Press, 1997

A definite "must buy" for those serious about spiritual growth
This book is an invaluable tool for those interested in growing spiritually. It served as a resource in planning an entire day retreat on the subject and the women attending loved it and are planning to rush out and buy the book. Its most effective use would be with a small group willing to meet once a week for 6 weeks, although even an individual will benefit from a leisurely read of this ... 		  
  







  
  
Showing Our True Colors (True Success Book)21 reviews
Mary Miscisin

True Colors, 2001

To understand others and yourself
This book is FANTASTIC! I loved how easy it was to read by the catagories and the point form facts. This book must be read in adjacent to Living Your Colors- By Tom Madden as it goes into deeper and better explainations of discovering what your colors are. I can stop reading it! I read to my family and my friends when I read something about there 'color' that is bang on! Highly recommend!! 		  
  







  
  
Radical Evolution: The Promise and Peril of Enhancing Our Minds, Our Bodies -- and What It Means to Be Human31 reviews
Joel Garreau

Broadway, 2006

Dense exploration of the technological explosion to come
This is about the so-called GRIN technologies: Genetic, Robotic, Information, and Nano. Properly speaking the title should be "Extreme Cultural Evolution," or perhaps "Accelerated Technological Evolution." "Radical" is used here in the sense of "extreme." Regardless of what we call it, for better or for worse, we will be enhancing our minds and bodies and changing the life forms around us, ...

Our Bodies, Ourselves: Pregnancy and Birth5 reviews
Boston Women's Health Book Collective, Judy Norsigian

Touchstone, 2008

Wish I'd Had This Sooner
Of all the books on pregnancy I've read, this one has been the most reassuring. As another reviewer mentioned, it's written in the same styles Our Bodies, Ourselves, which remains excellent through its many editions. It's not an especially thick book, and I would have loved to have seen more pictures, and personal excerpts, but everything important was covered, and the writing style was ...
