Queen Bees and Wannabes: Helping Your Daughter Survive Cliques, Gossip, Boyfriends, and Other Realities of ...94 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 ...

Gibbs Smith, Publisher, 2007

When All Hell Breaks Loose
When All Hell Breaks Loose "If you are going through Hell, keep going."--Winston Churchill Once upon a summer day, a Grasshopper hopped and danced and sung to his heart's content. An Ant passed, dragging a huge sack of powdered milk, beef jerky, and salt. "Why not come and sing karaoke and do a Jell-O(tm) shot with me," chirped the grasshopper, "Instead of breaking your back, working all ... 		  
  







  
  
Fire-Breathing Liberal: How I Learned to Survive (and Thrive) in the Contact Sport of Congress
Robert Wexler, David Fisher

Thomas Dunne Books, 2008

There’s a reason The Nation, America’s leading progressive magazine, named Robert Wexler the country’s “Most Valuable Congressman.” It's the same reason right-wing radio host Rush Limbaugh refers to him as “disgusting.” It's because for the last twelve years Wexler has been Congress’s most outspoken liberal -- taking on George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Condoleezza Rice, Alberto Gonzales, General ...

Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die186 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 ...

Where Dave lived, you do not want to know. If Dave had to live with his mom, he will die. In The Child Called It, there were no adventures at all!! I like the beginning of book .

The Unthinkable: Who Survives When Disaster Strikes - and Why
Amanda Ripley

Crown, 2008

It lurks in the corner of our imagination, almost beyond our ability to see it: the possibility that a tear in the fabric of life could open up without warning, upending a house, a skyscraper, or a civilization. Today, nine out of ten Americans live in places at significant risk of earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, terrorism, or other disasters. Tomorrow, some of us will have to make split-second choices to save ourselves and our families. ... 		  
  







  
  
Made to Stick (Chapter 5: Emotional): Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die

Random House, 2008

Learn the secrets to unlimited wealth and eternal life! (Not really, but we piqued your interest, didn’t we?) Don’t just convince people to think about your idea, get them to feel it too. Create empathy. Examples include the Mother Teresa principle (if I look at the one, I will act), beating smoking with the Truth, and schlocky but masterful mail-order ads. 		  
  







  
  
How To Survive a Robot Uprising: Tips on Defending Yourself Against the Coming Rebellion30 reviews
Daniel H. Wilson

Bloomsbury USA, 2005

Fun and smart!
This is a nice piece of bathroom literature. It does a really good job of threading the needle between assuming the audience knows too much and the audience knowing too little, which is absolutely essential to humor of this kind. There are enough asides and subtle references to keep it conversational as well and will get you to smile and think a pretty good bit. If you are a fan of ... 		  
  







  
  
The Great Bust Ahead: The Greatest Depression in American and UK History is Just Several Short Years Away. ...43 reviews
Daniel A. Arnold

Vorago-US, 2002

I see the light...
I think this author is on to something. I can agree with his point of view because he lays out the facts (from the Government, mind you). The book was written a long while ago, I read it a small while ago, and now it is happening just like he laid it out. What comes next? You have to read it and weep. Or... read it and prepare.

Only the Paranoid Survive: How to Exploit the Crisis Points That Challenge Every Company28 reviews
Andrew S. Grove

Doubleday Business, 1999

Enriching Personal Real-Life Account by Someone Who Had Managed a Mega-Size Corporation!!!
The real value of this book is that it is written by someone, Andrew Grove, who has actual experiences and managed a start-up right up to a mega successful corporation. There are tons of management and marketing books written by people, based on case-studies and analysis, but lack actual experiences managing or working in a corporation. The main concept of this book is on strategic inflection ...

Excellent Material
I listened to this entire CD series with my son on a road trip to the Michigan Dunes. All I can say is that I wish that I heard this material when I was 13. Growing up is tough and Dobson handles sensitive topics like, deep insecurities, lack of identity, sexuality, emotions and conformance with the wisdom and experience of a clinical child psychologist who could also be your father sitting down ...
