The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich

676 reviews
Timothy Ferriss

Crown, 2007

Good things to consider
Ah yes, the dream of working only 4 hours/week. While it's hard to implement to the degree he has, I think Tim has some good ideas to consider, including 1) a more heartfelt and specific how to re: work to live not live to work; a focus on being efficiency and effectiveness, 2) think about how to outsource (including a really good outline on how to on this), 3) use your increased "free time" ...

Charles R. Morris

PublicAffairs, 2008

Deregulation and market instability
There are three books that shed light on today's worldwide financial crisis. Second and third are Morris and Soros (2008), the first and most basic is the one that I reviewed last year: Eichengreen's `Globalizing Capital'. The review can be found on the econophysics web page or on amazon.de. Eichengreen presents the history of the Dollar from the gold standard until convertibility was ...

George Soros

PublicAffairs, 2008

Hits the nail squarely on the head
There are three books that should be read in order to begin to understand where we stand financially in the world today. Second and third are Soros' present book and Morris''The Trillion Dollar Meltdown'. The first and most basic is the one that I reviewed last year: Eichengreen's 'Globalizing Capital' by Eichengreen, but which amazon refused to post (see, however, amazon.de). Eichengreen ...

Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2004

Fantastic Read!
Mountains Beyond Mountains Book Review Tracy Kidder's excellence in writing is proven yet again, as he brings to life the history of one man who changed the lives of many people around the world.

The Revolution: A Manifesto

493 reviews
Ron Paul

Grand Central Publishing, 2008

The Most Important Book of the Year
Absolutely brilliant, clear-eyed and simply stated. This book should be read by every American who cares about their country and what's been happening to it over the last decades. Dr. Paul has done us all a huge favor by writing this book. If only the media had given his candidacy and ideas more time and consideration. Literally, this is the best political and social book I have EVER read.

The Expectant Father: Facts, Tips and Advice for Dads-to-Be, Second Edition

240 reviews
Armin A. Brott

Abbeville Press, 2001

Great for 1st Time Dads
My husband has really enjoyed this book. He likes to know what's going on with baby and me. I enjoy him sharing little tidbits with me also. This book also covers topics that Dads-to-be may feel anxious about such as money matters and the labor process. The only thing he has mentioned is that he'll read the section for the month I'm in so quick, that he'll have nothing else to read for ...

Churchill, Hitler, and "The Unnecessary War": How Britain Lost Its Empire and the West Lost the World

29 reviews
Patrick J. Buchanan

Crown, 2008

Its sad when fools resort to slander...
It's an old canard now that the real definition of "rascist" is anyone who is winning an argument against a leftist or a fool. The detracting reviews of PB's latest work unfortunately put truth to this. Pat makes a well written attempt to encourage the reader to take an honest look at the events of the first half of the 20th century without jingoistic blinders. More importantly, Buchanan tries to ...

Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die

186 reviews
Chip Heath, Dan Heath

Random House, 2007

Make You & Your Ideas Unforgettable
"Where's the beef?" is a line from a 20-year old Wendy's commercial. Those of us watching TV back then remember 80-something Clara Peller uttering those immortal words while staring at a giant bun and a miniature burger. "So easy even a caveman could do it," will also likely survive for another 20 years. You can't forget the sensitive Neanderthal so upset about Geico's insult that he has ...

Audition: A Memoir

Barbara Walters

Knopf, 2008

Audition
This book is so easy to read and you know who Walters is talking about. I can't stop reading it. I recommend it 100%. Walters sure had a lot of guys in her life.

Sports Illustrated: Brett Favre: The Tribute (Sports Illustrated)

15 reviews

Sports Illustrated, 2008

How can you go wrong?
Gift for my brother-in-law, who is a former high school and college football player and now a high school football coach. He simply loves this book, like we all love Brett Favre. How can you go wrong? An SI book about an American Hero - it's a no brainer.

Knopf, 2008

Comprehensive picture of the Pacific war
This excellent book provides an education on the war in the Pacific. The British in Burma, miseries of jungle warfare; Japan's Chinese conquests; warships in the Pacific, battleships, aircraft carriers, submarines; the battle of Leyte Gulf; the national image of MacArthur through efforts of his public relations operations (for a more splendid account of this read David Halberstam's "The Coldest ...

The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook: Your Self-Treatment Guide for Pain Relief, Second Edition

Clair Davies, Amber Davies

New Harbinger Publications, 2004

Cured my Plantar Fasciitis and lots of other things!
I was unable to walk for any length of time due to Plantar Fasciitis in my left foot. In addition I had a shooting pain up the side of my left ankle on every step. None of the following helped: supportive shoes, orthotics (OTC or custom), stretching, icing, NSAIDs, cortisone shots, 2 podiatrists, 1 physical therapist. I got this book and applied the techniques. Within a few weeks the classic ...

Thomas J. Stanley, William D. Danko

Pocket, 1998

Great book
I am a financial advisor and I frequently loan this book to clients and they usually love it. Its also a great book to give to young people. It really gets across the message that you don't have to make a lot of money to be wealthy, you just have to live below your means and invest well. Highly recommended.

1,000 Places to See Before You Die: A Traveler's Life List

301 reviews
Patricia Schultz

Workman Publishing Company, 2003

Wonderful travel to do list!
This is a great book to get ideas for traveling. It covers the many obvious places, but also covers those that one would not find on a generic travel tour. It covers sites, entertainment, hotels, restaurants and more. It also tells you the best time to travel. It even tells you when it is the most crowded and gives advice not to travel to these areas during some of the most crowded times. It ...

Common Wealth: Economics for a Crowded Planet

8 reviews
Jeffrey D. Sachs

Penguin Press HC, The, 2008

Necessary
Truly a must-read. I assure non-economists wary of econojargin: if you read books, this one's accessible enough for you. The book sheds light onto the roots of the world's problems from a UN economist's perspective. The complex web of cause and effect, and of problem and solution, occasionally seems to present contradictions, but it ultimately serves to reveal how complicated things truly ...

Escape from the Deep: A Legendary Submarine and Her Courageous Crew

7 reviews
Alex Kershaw

Da Capo Press, 2008

Kershaw strikes again! True heroic human story.
There is an old adage that states: 'if it ain't broken, don't fix it'. Sage advice for author/historian Alex Kershaw who has again turned out another 'page-turner' with his recent DaCapo Press release, "Escape From the Deep: The Epic Story of a Legendary Submarine and Her Courageous Crew". While a great many artists struggle to find their muse Kershaw has certainly found his. One could even ...

Don Tapscott, Anthony D. Williams

Portfolio Hardcover, 2008

this book made me more creative
what a great book. it's one of those books, like daniel pink's a whole new mind, or some of seth godin's books and patrick lencioni's books, that constantly had my brain thinking about changes we could/should make to the company i lead. seriously, like dozens (hundreds?) of ideas. maybe a few of them will actually get implemented! the book is about how a web 2.0/wiki culture is changing our ...

My Sister's Keeper: A Novel

961 reviews
Jodi Picoult

Washington Square Press, 2005

Amazing Book!
Although I am only 13 years old, I enjoyed My Sister's Keeper so much! Since the main character Anna is 13, I felt really comfortable reading this book and could really imagine what it would be like to be in her situation. My mom loves all of Jodi Picoult's books and she recommended that I read My Sister's Keeper. At first I was a little wary about reading such a long book that is meant for ...
