Turn Up the Heat: Unlock the Fat-Burning Power of Your Metabolism 14 reviews
Philip L. Goglia
Plume, 2003
This is an education in nutrition--no more fad diets!!!!!!!!
Here it is short and simple...I never dieted my whole life. I have now reached that over 45 age and experienced some shocking changes. OK, I figured I would starve myself for awhile, etc. etc. Result? I got fatter. My husband brought me this book and my first instinct was to toss it out, but he made me promise I would read it. Here I am thirteen weeks later and two sizes smaller. I have ...

Can't Lose Weight?: Unlock the Secrets That Keep You Fat!3 reviews
Sandra Cabot
Ten Speed Press, 2002
Really Works!!
I went to see Dr Cabot in person when a friend dragged me along. The whole time she was talking to the 500+ people there I could have SWORN that she was talking to me directly. I bought this book the next day and over the following three months I lost 30kg (that's 66 pounds in US language) and it was not so much the weight loss - but I felt like a million dollars :-) I would recommend this ...

Leo Galland
Broadway, 2006
DON'T LET YOUR FAT INFLAME YOU
This is an interesting book full of healthy foods and recipes. The author, Dr. Galland, explains the interrelationship of hunger, inflammation, and body weight. The premise of the diet is that if you become leptin-resistant so that your body does not respond to the hormone leptin, you will have difficulty losing weight. Leptin suppresses appetite and stimulates metabolism thereby assisting ...

Rick Warren's Bible Study Methods: Twelve Ways You Can Unlock God's Word30 reviews
Rick Warren
HarperCollins Publishers, 2006
Good nuts and bolts book for Bible Study
While others enjoy Kay Arthur's inductive method study books (I own Discover the Bible for Yourself & How to Study Your Bible), I have found this book to probably be one of the most practical in my library. As another person mentioned, this is an update of an older book. Possibly the one someone mentioned that they received through Billy Graham's organization or this may really be an update of ...

Soul Star Publishing, 2007
It really is practical and it works.
I've ordered hundreds of books from Amazon, the vast majority on personal development, spirituality and success. I am fascinated with possibility and potential. How can we live our ultimate lives?
If I had to recommend one book, Unlocking Your Intuition would be the one. When you are able to understand, use and count on your intuition, you no longer need to rely on sources outside of yourself. ...

The Wrinkle Cure: Unlock the Power of Cosmeceuticals for Supple, Youthful Skin82 reviews
Nicholas Perricone
Grand Central Publishing, 2005
The supplements and topicals work - try them!
I have never seen Dr. Perricone on either PBS or the Oprah show, nor have I ever read or heard of him before reading this book. The info in the book about free radicals, antioxidants and aging as a form of inflammation intrigued me and so I decided to try the supplements and topical cream for a three month experiment. Well...I don't need 3 months to determine that it's working! I can tell you ...

Nostradamus: The Lost Manuscript: The Code That Unlocks the Secrets of the Master Prophet1 review
Ottavio Cesare Ramotti
Destiny Books, 2002
Wish I was Smarter
This book is very interesting. However, I do not understand a lot of the clues Nostradamus is giving. I am Catholic so I understand the role of the Popes, but after all this time, for a major incident to happen to a Pope is one of the story threads. I think it is a metaphor for religious faith in our time. Western countries, especially those in Europe, have seen a sharp decline in church ...

Worker in the Light: Unlock Your Five Senses and Liberate Your Limitless Potential 48 reviews
George Noory, William J. Birnes
Forge Books, 2007
There is no way George Noory could have written this book.
I read the better part of this book at the bookstore, while waiting a few minutes for my car to be serviced. Yes, it's that fluffy of a read. But let's be honest, there is no way that George Noory could have written this book, or any other book.
I have been listening to C2C for years, and I honestly think that Mr. Noory may be in the early stages of dementia. Seriously. His word selection is ...

This book has been life changing in healing my Mother's brain injuries after a trauma in an accident with a tractor trailer. Having read the book, I took his music for healing to her hospital ICU and instructed the nurses to keep the music on at all times. I literally watched her come out of a coma, first tapping her toes to the music, then her fingers, then humming. In the unsettling sounds of ...

Astrologically Incorrect: Unlock the Secrets of the Signs to Get What You Want When You Want!8 reviews

Adams Media, 2003
Excellent
I would compare this book to the best astrology book ever written, Linda Goodman's Sun Signs. This is an easy read, very interesting, and accurate. I have gone through many astrology books and came away with a wasted feeling, like I was given the run-around. Not here. There is actually something new to be learned in "Astrologically Incorrect" and it is highly recommended. Very insightful to use ...

What's Your Type of Career?: Unlock the Secrets of Your Personality to Find Your Perfect Career Path8 reviews
Donna Dunning
Davies-Black Publishing, 2001
Very insightful!
This book was recommended to me by my company's HR training manager and it is brilliant! Written for people who know their Myers-Briggs type, it describes the sort of work environment your type would thrive in along a continuum; meaning, it allows for a range of behavior and is flexible enough to avoid rigidly defining you and your options, yet it's defined enough to be helpful. I know that many ...

Life Energy: Using the Meridians to Unlock the Hidden Power of Your Emotions10 reviews
John Diamond
Continuum International Publishing Group, 1990
Practical, thought-provoking, inspiring
This book has been essential for me in developing a concept of the healing force in myself and in everybody -- Life Energy, as the title succinctly puts it -- and how this force can be activated. The specific details about our emotions -- and how they relate to the acupuncture system -- are fascinating. I particularly find helpful and thought-provoking Dr. Diamond's use of etymology (the origins ...
