Setting Limits with Your Strong-Willed Child : Eliminating Conflict by Establishing Clear, Firm, and ...92 reviews
Robert J. MacKenzie Ed.D.

Three Rivers Press, 2001

A Dose of Reality
I have read many parenting books, but none were as clear or relevant to my life as this one. As a former teacher, I quickly connected with the need for limits as this author first wrote about for the classroom. He then went on to write this book. I couln't put it down. I am a mom of 1 and 2 year-olds, yet I still found time to read this book. I love the examples! I have told many friends they ... 		  
  







  
  
World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War378 reviews
Max Brooks

Three Rivers Press, 2007

Fear the Walking Dead Again
Zombies, man. I frigging hate zombies. Slow, shambling, stupid, stubborn, ugly, and numerous, zombies are like the worst people you've ever met minus a pulse. Ever since George A. Romero decided he wanted to make some corpses get up and lumber after the living, most people have thought of the same thing when they thought of zombies: Remove the head. Destroy the brain. Well, okay, maybe ... 		  
  







  
  
Finding Your Own North Star: Claiming the Life You Were Meant to Live97 reviews
Martha Beck

Three Rivers Press, 2002

The only one you need...
Anything Martha Beck writes is fabulous but this classic, one of her earliest, is still my favorite. Beck is funny and smart and offers real wisdom on how to craft that ultimate life for yourself. There is much self-esteem building going on in Finding Your own North Star from dealing with emotions, saying "yes" and "no" and dealing with fear effectively. For a Beck sampling, pick up a copy of O: ... 		  
  







  
  
Loving What Is: Four Questions That Can Change Your Life159 reviews
Byron Katie, Stephen Mitchell

Three Rivers Press, 2003

transformational
I was slightly puzzled by this book at first - I thought the four questions were too simple. But by the time I reached the end I had got it - a profound change occurs almost without you realising. Byron Katie's work is really a radical form of cognitive therapy which makes you aware that almost all of our 'problems' and the negativity we feel is caused by our thoughts. I came across this book ...

Change Your Brain Change Your Life
I watched a program 0n TV in which the author Daniel G. Amen discussed this book and and that is why i ordred it.So far I am enjoying reading it. As a person who has suffered from anxiety all my life, I was searching for answers and Dr.Amen's theories interested me very much.So far I am fascinated by his theories and hope to find value in them for me..I have not finished the book but will ... 		  
  







  
  
Cesar's Way: The Natural, Everyday Guide to Understanding and Correcting Common Dog Problems646 reviews
Cesar Millan, Melissa Jo Peltier

Three Rivers Press, 2007

The Very Best
Cesar knows what goes on it a dogs head. It all put out in clear easy to understand language. I would recommend this book to any person who is a dog owner or before they become one. Its an update to some very old thinking about dog training. Definitely a must have. 		  
  







  
  
It's a Dog's Life...but It's Your Carpet: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Your Four-Legged Friend16 reviews
Justine Dr Lee

Three Rivers Press, 2008

Informative and entertaining
This book answered questions I didn't even think of! It's very informative and so easy to read since it's entertaining too. The book gives you a whole new perspective on dogs. It helps you enjoy your dog's companionship even more. The book makes a great gift. Or even a refresher on what you've forgotten or been lax about in doggie care to things you never knew. 		  
  







  
  
The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream498 reviews
Barack Obama

Three Rivers Press, 2007

Hope is what we need
I recently walked the way to and from my car, to and from work while listening to the audio book version of "The Audacity of Hope." Obama proved to offer hope and inspiration to get through things, the kind of hope and inspiration the United States is in need of these days. Hearing his voice throughout the chapters offered the comfort that aggressive talk lacks, the kind that the political ... 		  
  







  
  
The Green Book: The Everyday Guide to Saving the Planet One Simple Step at a Time41 reviews
Elizabeth Rogers, Thomas M. Kostigen

Three Rivers Press, 2007

Simple and to the point
This was my very first "green" purchase. I love it, it has changed my life. I was not even aware of being environmently friendly and when I became aware I was a little overwhelmed at all the things I could do to make a change. This book was a perfect start, tons of information. I am now aware!

Chosen Soldier: The Making of a Special Forces Warrior29 reviews
Dick Couch

Three Rivers Press, 2008

The chosen Review
I remember having a conversation with a friend of mine and we were trying to figure out what training produced a more deadly efficent incredible (man/soldier/warrior) although, I am more biased towards the navy seals, as my son is one, my friend was formerly in the special forces. He recommended that I read this book and I am amazed once again at what people are capable of learning and doing. ... 		  
  







  
  
Do Travel Writers Go to Hell?: A Swashbuckling Tale of High Adventures, Questionable Ethics, and Professional ...13 reviews
Thomas Kohnstamm

Three Rivers Press, 2008

I didn't want it to end!
"What kind of a man spends his best years sitting in a chair?" Kohnstamm has written a book that makes me want to get out of my chair, and toss my perpetually connected work life into the East River, which will make sense when you read this book. There was a bit of controversy around this book before it came out having to do with Kohnstamm's work on Lonely Planet. The truth, after reading ... 		  
  







  
  
Queen Bees and Wannabes: Helping Your Daughter Survive Cliques, Gossip, Boyfriends, and Other Realities of ...93 reviews
Rosalind Wiseman

Three Rivers Press, 2002

Enlightening for Dad
Simply put, I found the book to far exceed my expectations for it. As a male, the author's insights into girls' social roles and interactions were a huge eye-opener. And as the father of three girls, I appreciate all the examples of specific situations girls may find themselves in, how their thinking/social conditioning may have contributed, and how they can extricate themselves. As others ... 		  
  







  
  
Rule #1: The Simple Strategy for Successful Investing in Only 15 Minutes a Week!145 reviews
Phil Town

Three Rivers Press, 2007

I'm pretty sure Warren Buffett would approve of this book
First off, I was actually embarrassed to pick and read this book given its cheesy marketing. On the surface it looks like a ridiculous infomercial with outrageous claims. For example, the author claims he turned $1000 to 1 million in 5 years. That is approximately a 400% rate of return. Very impressive but I was and still am skeptical. 15 minutes a week is also an exaggeration. He also portrays ... 		  
  







  
  
Anatomy of the Spirit: The Seven Stages of Power and Healing116 reviews
Caroline Myss

Three Rivers Press, 1996

EVERY WORD COULD BE HIGHLIGHTED
Like many of you, I'm one of those readers who likes to highlight words or sentences or passages with a yellow marker. So, it makes me chuckle every time I consult my copy of ANATOMY OF THE SPIRIT: The Seven Stages of Power and Healing by Caroline Myss because it often looks as if I highlighted everything! Once, I went back through the book just to convince myself that I had been doing a weak ... 		  
  







  
  
My Boys Can Swim!: The Official Guy's Guide to Pregnancy154 reviews
Ian Davis

Three Rivers Press, 1999

Husband LOVED it!
My husband absolutely loved it! I dunno why exactly, it was kinda short, and I didn't laugh anywhere NEAR as hard as he did, but he loved it. It explains things in a man's perspective I guess. Certain guys will love it, others not so much. My hubby is a bit rough around the edges, so if you have one of those I think he'll like it. 		  
  







  
  
Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance220 reviews
Barack Obama

Three Rivers Press, 2004

Who is Obama?
It seemed to be in my best interest to find out something more than that Oprah seemed to think Senator Obama was a man of great importance. I found this book fascinating; a sensitive account of his tremendous drive to help people rather than sit behind a high paying desk job and living the life as such. Obama and Hillary seemed driven to help our country as youngsters. Open your mind and heart to ... 		  
  







  
  
The 9 Steps to Financial Freedom: Practical and Spiritual Steps So You Can Stop Worrying205 reviews
Suze Orman

Three Rivers Press, 2006

GREAT BOOK-GREAT PRICE

Wonderful Tonight: George Harrison, Eric Clapton, and Me214 reviews
Pattie Boyd, Penny Junor

Three Rivers Press, 2008

Great Perspective, Written Well Enough
This book is written in a plain and understandable way. Not massively insightful but her perspective makes it very meaningful as 60s rock history. Pattie names names like few others so you can launch lots of research from her work. Being a woman's account, she tends to focus on ambience such as the food, the fashions, the wallpaper, the furniture, etc. Her memories benefit from having a diary ...
