The Rabbi Is Going To Hell
Yes, I said it: To Hell with you Rabbi! Jesus is the only way! John 3:16 For this is the way God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. John 3:36 The one who believes in the Son has eternal life. The one who rejects the Son will not see life, but God's wrath remains on him. Revelation 20:15 If anyone's ...

Kicks ass ...
For some reason, this guy and his ideas really connect with me. This was one of the three best business books I've read in the last ten years. (One of the others was his earlier book, "What Got You Here Won't Get You There.") Practical but not preachy. Devoid of impenetrable B-school and academic jargon. A useful toolbox of tips for professionals and anyone who is looking to manage ...

Learned something new to help with family member with dementia
I loved this book. My mother's dementia has escalated since this past Thanksgiving. She is now in Assisted Living and sometimes I just don't know what to do when she goes on crying jags and starts to throw things. Fortunately, she is in an excellent retirement home, but I learned something in this book that wasn't obvious to me before - it's okay to change the subject (misdirect) when she starts ...

Deeply Moving Treatise. Focuses on the Big Picture
One of the most deeply moving books I've read. He focuses on the big picture in our lives, something so many of us fail to see until we're confronted by mortality. His students were indeed privileged to hear him first hand, and to experience his final moments. The Last Lecture

Love it!
I am a non cooker/baker. I love this book because it is straight forward, simple and can be used for gluten free diets. I've followed the recipes to a T and I've also just used what I had around the house. I used to hate meatloaf but now it is one of my favorites!

Hyperion, 2007

Winning is Losing
I have found that "What Got You Here..." is an especially effective source of wisdom to be used by especially bright ,opinionated, tech savvy leaders who are used to having the "right" answers to technical problems. As an executive coach, many of the issues highlighted by Marshall Goldsmith's book, are especially useful in high tech industries where the "team" is absolutely essential for ...

Very clever 'tie in' to the TV show Castle
I'm a big fan of the TV show from day one. I hadn't even known at the time that they were planning on putting out books by 'Richard Castle' based on his time spent and research with the 12th Precinct. I'm glad I decided to check it out. From the peer blurbs on the front cover and inside jacket, to the press photo of 'Richard Castle' on the back, to the dedication in the very beginning, the ...
