Backinprint.com, 2002

Time Tested Techniques To Help You Overcome Self-Sabotage
From Sabotage to Success is an appropriate title for this book. It reflects my own personal journey from a place of despair and lack of information to one of empowerment and success. My journey continued as I found that the strategies I used to overcome my own self-defeating behavior were just as successful in helping others overcome theirs. This book was born out of years of personal experience ...

Fascinating and Brave
The Sabotage Cafe is a great, great book. This tale of a punkrock runaway in Minneapolis grabs your attention from the first page and never lets it go. If you've ever been that teen (or if you are) who thought music held the answer to everything and your parents didn't know the answer to anything, you should read this book. Really.

HCI, 1989

PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS TO WORK-RELATED PROBLEMS
If you have been losing jobs despite working "very hard", and you are an ACoA, this is the book that will finally answer the big question of "why! " ACoA's, as explained succinctly yet in detail by Woititz, have ingrained patterns of behavior that result in problems on the job. We can identify these patterns, come to understand where they came from, and finally, do something to change them! ...

John O. Brehm, Scott Gates

University of Michigan Press, 1999

Bureaucrats perform most of the tasks of government, profoundly influencing the daily lives of Americans. But who, or what, controls what bureaucrats do? John Brehm and Scott Gates examine who influences whether federal, state, and local bureaucrats work, shirk, or sabotage policy. The authors combine deductive models and computer simulations of bureaucratic behavior with statistical analysis in order to assess the competing influences over ...

The 600 pound Gorilla
An interesting read and I have to agree with him on most of it but some conclusions are missed. With the V. Plame issue he missed a huge problem. Nigeria's economy is based on exporting yellow cake Uranium. Shouldn't we be asking how it came to pass that we don't have agents or a field office in a country that has for its number one export Uranium? There are many examples of this. As far as ...

Wastrels of Defense: How Congress Sabotages U.S. Security

Winslow T. Wheeler

US Naval Institute Press, 2004

Worth the Price of Admission
After reading and enjoying the first half of this book, I signed on to read the reviews here. I have come to believe it is a good measure of a book to look at the seriousness of the negative reviews. The one negative review here, so far, is not credible. To criticize a substative critique of our governmental procedures because it is not entertaining, seems shallow. To call a work polemic, is ...

A Fine Romance
Most humans have a romance with putting off today what one can do tomorrow. This book spoke directly to me and my creative ways of putting off the inevitable. Write a contract? Clean out the computer desk. Buy groceries? Clean out the pantry. Trade one creative thing for another. One's necessary to your progress, one's not. The book showed me I'm not alone.

Self-Sabotage: How To Stop It & Soar To Success

Martha Baldwin

Grand Central Publishing, 1990

A little gem of a book
I almost didn't buy this book. I saw buzzwords like "inner child" and "saboteur" and references to "transactional analysis" (which I knew nothing about, but somehow had an aversion to) ... but I bought the book anyway. I've been "reorganized" out of my job of 20 years, and wanted to see if some suspicions about my sabotaging myself held up. Well, they did ... and Ms. Baldwin explained why, and ...

Freedom from Self-Sabotage: The Intelligent Reader's Guide to Success & Self-Fulfillment
Peter Michaelson

Infinity Publishing, 2004

Self-Sabotage has been called the enemy within, the shadow, and the inner saboteur. It has been referred to in clinical manuals as Self-Defeating Personality Disorder. It is widespread, and is a problem for just about every one of us-at different levels of dysfunction. Self-sabotage comes in many guises, stalking us in the form of self-denial, self-doubt, self-disapproval, and self-condemnation. At its worst, it constitutes not just ...

Okay book, not spectacular.
Sabotage at Sea is a good kids book, but it's not as awesome as many of the books of this series. I recommend it to anyone who's already a Hardy Boys fan.

When Misery is Company: End Self-Sabotage and Become Content

8 reviews
Anne Katherine

Hazelden, 2004

Groundbreaking Work on an Often Overlooked Problem
Whether they like it or not, admit it or not, a large number of people are "addicted to misery." Misery addiction is an insidious form of self-sabotage that manifests in a large number of very different, but very "general" ways. For instance, we may habitually make choices that set us up to fail, or we may abandon projects right before they succeed. Maybe we choose abusive partners and friends; ...

Sabotage in the Arctic
Stewart B. Nelson

Xlibris Corporation, 2007

The story of Australian-born Sir Hubert Wilkins and the Nautilus is usually a brief footnote, if mentioned at all, of Arctic exploration history. However, it is a tale of daring enterprise and of men captivated by the pursuit of noble deeds. Having leased and extensively modified a decommissioned vintage World War I U.S. Navy submarine, the Wilkins-Ellsworth Trans Arctic Submarine Expedition of 1931 was marked by controversy from its ...

David Richo

Shambhala, 2008

One of the best books I have ever read
"When the Past Is Present" is one of the best books I have ever read. In this beautifully written work Dr. Richo explains psychological terminology in a manner that is easy to understand. This aspect of the book refreshing, clear and illuminating. Yet it is also a very spiritual book that speaks to one's heart. The material provides a profound and useful way for us to examine relationships so ...
