Love it!
This is a beautiful book that, if you follow crafting blogs, is being raved about all over the internet. I guess not everyone has eclectic, funky taste. If you are into repurposing, vintage, simple and lovely clothes for your daughter, I think you will like this book, too.

John Welwood

Trumpeter, 2007

Love is Greater Than Hatred
John Welwood's engaging book of objective love in theory and practicalities has opened a gateway for my 22 yr. marriage of patterns that have been misunderstood; which in turn we have regressed into frustration, underlying resentment, distrust, disconnection and isolation. John's book has given me/us a lifeline (we are actually reading it together over morning coffee (a first of reading a ...

Trumpeter, 2008

Simple, effective and potentially life changing.
I have practiced several forms of meditation/ stress reduction techniques (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), HeartMath, binaural beat brainwave entrainment (Holosync)--all of which I have found extremely helpful. But in 2008 I found myself in a situation that overwhelmed my existing meditation practice. Luckily a few months before I had picked up a copy of Dr. Les Femi's book The ...

Gina Ogden

Trumpeter, 2008

Every Woman Should Read This Book! Even if you think your sex life is great.
Of the many books we've read about rekindling sexual desire and staying together, "The Return of Desire" is definitely one of the most interesting and uplifting books in this field. Dr. Ogden gets right to the heart of the matter - namely, that DESIRE for sex is more important than just going through the motions. Many of the self-help books out there offer advice such as "Just do it and you'll ...

Karen Maezen Miller

Trumpeter, 2007

Finally, a truthful look at motherhood
Momma Zen is the only book I would recommend to new mothers. I trust myself more after reading Momma Zen and I am grateful for that.

Sometimes on a bad day and often on a great day. Karen knows how to comfort and ...

Everyday Holiness: The Jewish Spiritual Path of Mussar

7 reviews
Alan Morinis

Trumpeter, 2008

Great book about an obscure subject
I had never heard of Mussar until recently. I am a Jew and have been practicing Buddhism for the last 25 years. Mussar ties Jewish thought, Talmudic and Biblical in origin, with concepts like generosity, loving-kindness and other principles that are common to Buddhism. This book is outlined in a way that offers daily readings and you could just keep starting over each time you finish. I ...

Immediate Results
This is an extraordinary book that contains a thorough discussion of kinesthetic awareness, along with simple exercises to help you increase flexibility and reduce pain. I was amazed how quickly these exercises helped me. For instance, in one exercise, the objective was to isolate and rotate the oblique abdominal muscles. At first, I couldn't even feel how to rotate the right oblique. Then, ...

Thinking About God
Michaelson, Jay. "Everything is God: The Path of Nondual Judaism", Trumpeteer, 2009. Thinking about God Amos Lassen Jay Michaelson is one of my heroes and he wears many different hats. What I like most about him is how he thinks and the way he helped to shape a new Jewish culture as well as his work as a GLBT activist. As Jews, most of us think of God as one supreme being and ...

a pleasant little book . . .
with, as other reviewers pointed out, a nice selection of practical exercises, like holding a rubber band or some other talisman when you get angry (to remind yourself that almost everyone gets angry and has to get over it), concentrating on one or two words when praying, and trying to think about the positive good you can help create when you are engaged in social action (rather than on who you ...

Michael Carroll

Trumpeter, 2008

This book will save your life... or at least make you a great leader!
Reading Michael Carroll's book and attending his weekend retreat earlier this year turned around my attitude at the office, prepared me well for several looming crises at work, and nearly saved my life. His book Mindful Leadership is essential for anyone trying to lead successfully in today's world of information overload, anti-rationalism, and blind decision-making. It is equally helpful for a ...
