Your Personal Penguin (Boynton on Board) 21 reviews
Sandra Boynton
Workman Publishing Company, 2006
An endearing message.
Of all the Sandra Boyton books, this has to be my absolute favorite. I have read it to my little sister more times than I can count...we both have it memorized and whenever she wants me to read it to her...she just comes up and starts reciting it, "I like you a lot, you're funny and kind."
I love everything about this book...from the adorable drawings...the witty dialouge to the perfect ...

Personal Space Camp (Children's/Life Skills) 3 reviews
Julia Cook
National Center for Youth Issues, 2007
Funny book on serious topic
This book is great for those k-3rd grade kids who don't seem to understand that not everyone wants them in their face. Lois goes about his day crashing into people (flying through space) and is told he would have to go to Personal Space Camp. He is all excited because he imagines that he'll be flying rockets or getting to eat astronaut's ice cream. When he sees hoola hoops on the floor, he is ...

Eric Tyson
Wiley, 2006
Great tool for personal purposes.
It's just amazing. Every other theme not too well understood is explained with clarity. Website references are a plus. If you have no idea of most financial concepts, what they mean and how to understand them this is a good starter tool.

Phillip Lopate
Anchor, 1995
Essential!
I recently attended a lecture by Philip Lopate. It was informative, instructional, and entertaining. I can say the same about this anthology. Anyone interested in the personal essay--readers, and especially writers--will find this collection a gold mine. I highly recommend it.

My Stroke of Insight: A Brain Scientist's Personal Journey119 reviews
Jill Bolte Taylor
Viking Adult, 2008
Unique view of our energy bodies
Jill Bolte Taylor captures my attention with her view on energy fields. A must read! Read on to see what I mean. It may mean a major change in health care.
Early on in her experience with her stroke she mentions feeling fluid, flowing in a field without boundaries. She felt part of the universal energy and it was tranquil, safe and blessed. This is a woman who had diminished or no ...

ACSM's Resources for the Personal Trainer: Techniques, Complications, and Management (High-Yield? Systems ...6 reviews
Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2006
excellent!
This book benefits a lot to the initial trainers who even have no idea of how to deal with the training. The book is both practical and praticable to the trainer's learning how to train others with his/her own training experience. Though there are not enough illustrations in the book, I still strongly recommend the book to beginning trainers.

Personal Power Through Awareness: A Guidebook for Sensitive People (Book II of the Earth Life Series)35 reviews
Sanaya Roman
HJ Kramer, 1986
excellent book
This is another excellent book but all of Romans books tend to repeat themselves. Still I have 4 or 5 of her books and underline and go back and re-read things during my devotional times. No major changes in my life have been necessarily produced through her books but they are comforting words that would be absolutely wonderful if they really did work.

Two "Loops": Which to select?
I just read this book as well as the more recently published Creating the Accountable Organization and highly recommend both. Now more than ever before, the issue of personal accountability is critically important to all organizations (regardless of size or nature) and will become even more important in years to come.
In this volume, Samuel and Chiche present a number of insights whose ...

Of all the tasks we usually face when applying to graduate and professional schools, from choosing universities to preparing for and taking admission and standardized tests, from soliciting recommendations to having transcripts send out, writing a good personal essay is among the most important and difficult to accomplish.

The Art of Personal Imagery: Expressing Your Life Through Collage25 reviews
Corey Moortgat
North Light Books, 2007
Worth every penny I spent on it
As an avid scrapbooker and beginner mixed-media artist, this book has really made me redefine my style. I've reached a point in my art that doing pretty pages was just not enough, and I found myself including more and more symbolic items in my artwork. Being OCD-like, this book has really prompted me to loosen up, experiment and have fun with my artwork. Coreys artwork is so rich in meaning and ...

NASM Essentials of Personal Fitness Training3 reviews
National Academy of Sports Medicine
Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2007
Simply the Best
Although I miss the seven phase OPT model of old, the new paradigm has streamlined the structure to progress athletes through the process more efficiently. The illustrations are an upgrade, however there are fewer sample exercises to use. I recommend the NASM program to any serious trainer. This isn't "gym science"; everything in this book is based on years of research in human biomechanics, ...

"Have You Seen . . . ?": A Personal Introduction to 1,000 Films5 reviews
David Thomson
Knopf, 2008
For REAL film lovers only
First the obvious: David Thomson is the best writer of film criticism around. By that I mean his actual writing abilty, words, phrases, style, etc. Second the admiration at his success in merely finishing the job of selecting, writing about, and analysing the 1,000 (NOT a typo!) films in this volume. Third the awe at how penetrating so much of it is on so many levels in so brief (for each film) a ...

Personal Record: A Love Affair with Running 2 reviews
Rachel Toor
University of Nebraska Press, 2008
Not a training guide, but...
... A very good, often funny, fast-paced read. I picked this book up partially because of Rachel's work in Running Times. This book will not give you any insight on how to train better, eat better, or race better. However, all that said, it reads very quickly and gives the reader a lot of insight into many of Rachel's vast experiences. Rachel is very well respected in the running community and ...

This book may seem a bit intimidating but if you want personal financial success, it is worth going through the book. It will take you step by step on how to achieve your financial success. This is the best ...
