Why Work Sucks and How to Fix It: No Schedules, No Meetings, No Joke--the Simple Change That Can Make Your ...8 reviews
Cali Ressler, Jody Thompson

Portfolio Hardcover, 2008

ROWE is the ultimate solution to a broken workplace!
Best Buy's journey to a Results-Only Work Environment is a provactive real-life story that shatters our assumptions about how work gets done (assumptions that might have made sense for an industrial-age workplace, BUT not today's knowledge-based economy). Ressler and Thompson make the case with humor by showing us how ingrained and outdated some of our work notions are and they provide powerful ...
  
  











  



  
Body for Life: 12 Weeks to Mental and Physical Strength931 reviews
Bill Phillips, Michael D'Orso

Collins, 1999

I've benefited from BFL yet recommend SFL even more highly
I've benefited immensely from Bill Phillips' 1999 mega-bestseller, Body for Life: 12 Weeks to Mental and Physical Strength (BFL). It dramatically helped to rekindle my passion for fitness. Using the BFL approach, by combining dreaming; goal-setting; planning; tracking; frequent small meals; weight training and brief but intense aerobic training, I personally completed multiple, 12 week ...
  
  











  



  
Your Pregnancy Week by Week, 6th Edition (Your Pregnancy Series)347 reviews
Glade B. Curtis, Judith Schuler

Da Capo Press, 2007

Highly Informative
There are many critics of this book who claim that it is worries expectant mothers unnecessarily. However, I feel that it is necessary to understand the risks of pregnancy, as well as how to take care of the needs of an expectant mother. It is foolish to ignore the statistics, no matter how scary they can be because bad things do happen, and it is wise to be prepared. I would definitely ...
  
  











  



  
The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich688 reviews
Timothy Ferriss

Crown, 2007

Did We All Read the Same Book?
I don't know which book the "one star" reviewers read, but NOWHERE in this book did I find anything about getting rich quick! It seems to have struck a chord of fear among some readers. The author writes about living a life "rich" in the things that are important to you. He writes about how to set up a business that will allow you the freedom to spend your time in ways that you value. He ...
  
  











  



  
The First Six Weeks of School (Strategies for Teachers Series, 2)15 reviews
Paula Denton, Roxann Kriete

Northeast Foundation for Children, 2000

Great for First Year Educators!
I began using Morning Meeting [ASIN:1892989093 The Morning Meeting Book (Strategies for Teachers, 1)] as a part of my teacher education program last year and found it to be a great benefit for encouraging positive social interactions between my elementary students. This year, I began following and implementing The First Six Weeks of School's suggestions and my students LOVE it! They enjoy ...
  
  











  



  
Beck Diet Solution Weight Loss Workbook: The 6-week Plan to Train Your Brain to Think Like a Thin Person16 reviews
Judith S. Beck

Oxmoor House, 2007

Highly Recommended!
Despite my extensive collection of diet books, there are really only two that have helped me: Dr. Phil's "The Ultimate Weight Solution", and now, this book. I just finished the 6 weeks, faithfully following the program each day, and I must say that I do notice a big change in my attitude toward food and exercise. I plan to take a week "off", then start reviewing it for another 6 weeks. There are ...
  
  











  



  
Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery: Over 140 Delicious Low-Fat High-Protein Recipes to Enjoy in the Weeks, ...61 reviews
Patt Levine, Michele Bontmpo-Saray, ...

Da Capo Press, 2004

The best!
This is the best cookbook out there for post bariatric patients. There are wonderful recipes that are easy to prepare and you are given exactly how much protein you will be getting with each meal - which is more important than anything. I love the fact that it was put together by someone who has had the surgery and that she couldn't find a cookbook out there for herself. Face it there isn't ...
  
  











  



  
Small Changes, Big Results: A 12-Week Action Plan to a Better Life45 reviews
Ellie Krieger, Kelly James-Enger

Three Rivers Press, 2005

Solid infomation, format doesn't work for me
If you are on the path to getting healthy and need a structured program to follow this is an excellent book. The weekly changes are small but powerful, the book is easy to read, and the information and resources are very useful. As other reviewers pointed out, most of the information is not new (I would describe it as somewhat basic but solid), but the way it's integrated in one book makes it a ...
  
  











  



  
The Abs Diet: The Six-Week Plan to Flatten Your Stomach and Keep You Lean for Life214 reviews
David Zinczenko, Ted Spiker

Rodale Books, 2005

It's working!
I started to read this book at the beginning of March and I weighed 246 pounds (height: 6'5''). I've never been super fat but I don't remember seeing my stomach muscles since the 6th grade. I followed this book's principles pretty well. It is now May 12th and I weigh 227. More importantly, I feel better. This is not a gimmick diet. I'm not a huge fan of the title because it sounds ...
  
  











  



  
The Abs Diet for Women: The Six-Week Plan to Flatten Your Belly and Firm Up Your Body for Life56 reviews
David Zinczenko, Ted Spiker

Rodale Books, 2008

AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME!!!
I was trying for about 8 months to lose the remaining 30lbs of post-baby weight I had (of an original total of 60lbs!). I had definately plateaued and actually was beginning to gain weight back! I came across this book and it specifically addressed this issue. I lost 18lbs in 2 months!!! Why, you may ask yourself, didn't I lose the other 12? I got pregnant again! :) And now during my current ...
  
  











  



  
Three Weeks to eBay Profits: Go from Beginner to Successful Seller in Less than a Month14 reviews
Skip McGrath

Sterling, 2006

Concrete Help
I don't review books unless I genuinely like them, and I liked this book. The concrete, clear steps are excellent. I decided to use this book in teaching college students how to use the Internet more effectively.
  
  











  



  
Maximum Strength: Get Your Strongest Body in 16 Weeks with the Ultimate Weight-Training Program4 reviews
Eric Cressey, Matt Fitzgerald

Da Capo Press, 2008

My Results
Eric Cressey knows how to get people bigger and stronger, period. I got to do the Maximum Strength Program last summer and during that time I had my 1RM deadlift go from 275 to 400lbs in four months. I am more mobile than ever and I am no longer in pain (used to be low back). I now have great posture and have built a great base of strength. This book outlines the four phases with multistep ...
  
  











  



  
Buff Dad: The 4-Week Fitness Game Plan for Real Guys3 reviews
Michelle Ponto

HCI, 2008

Great Plan for the forgotten Father
Okay ladies, we all had our babies and we sent our husbands out for chili cheese fries, cotton candy and snickers bars at 11 pm. Dutifully they went and bought us our horrendous craving foods but don't you think they snuck a bite too? Well, mine did and he gained a few love pounds. He would have really enjoyed this book because so many father's needs are ignored those first months. The ...
  
  











  



  
40 Weeks +: The Essential Pregnancy Organizer (The Essential Organizers)42 reviews
Dani Rasmussen, Antoinette Perez

Mango Media, 2006

Loved this organizer!
I kept track of everything in this organizer, from OB appointments (including all information on what was covered in the appointment) to important dates on the calendar to contractions to diaper checks to gift lists to items to purchase. It had handy spots to put my ultrasound printouts and a pocket in back for keepsake documents. I am a first time mother and I'm still using it often with the ...
  
  











  



  
How to Make Millions with Your Ideas: An Entrepreneur's Guide27 reviews
Dan S. Kennedy

Plume, 1996

Dan Kennedy's ideas still work
Some people may make the mistake that since Dan Kennedy wrote this book several years ago that the information is dated. Actually the principals are timeless. 6 months ago I created a direct mail campaign to raise money for the Purdue Women's Air Race Team. I followed his exact instructions on page 119 and raised more than enough money needed for the team. Not only did what he say still ...
  
  











  



  
Parenting the Strong-Willed Child: The Clinically Proven Five-Week Program for Parents of Two- to ...33 reviews
Rex Forehand, Nicholas Long

McGraw-Hill, 2002

Finally something that worked!
I'm usually skeptical about books that promise "X number of weeks to a better something-or-other" but I bought this book out of desperation when NOTHING seemed to be helping my 2-year-old's out-of-control behavior. Biting, hitting, kicking, throwing things -- you name it, he did it, and usually gleefully. Our inconsistent methods to address his behavior went nowhere. After just doing "Week ...
  
  











  



  
One Year to an Organized Life: From Your Closets to Your Finances, the Week-by-Week Guide to Getting ...11 reviews
Regina Leeds

Da Capo Press, 2007

Love This Book
This book has great ideas. It gives good examples of how to organize certain spaces. You don't have to start organizing on January 1st. You can jump in any day of the year. It's a nice motivating tool.
  
  











  



  
Human Anatomy & Physiology (7th Edition)19 reviews
Elaine N. Marieb, Katja N. Hoehn

Benjamin Cummings, 2006

Great Book
Anatomy & Physiology was really difficult for me... but with this book and the study guide (which wasn't used at my school but I got on my own) made a HUGE difference in learning the information. The book made the subject interesting and you wanted to learn more. It had helpful tips and analogies for remembering key points. I like the book alot and was able to pull off a "B" which for me was ...
  
  











  



  
Rule #1: The Simple Strategy for Successful Investing in Only 15 Minutes a Week!146 reviews
Phil Town

Three Rivers Press, 2007

A Clear Read
I first saw Phil Town on "The Millionaire Inside" on CNBC, which prompted me to pick up his book. I found his book provides clear, step-by-step instructions on how to buy wonderful companies that have personal meaning, and purchasing them for at least a 50% discount, and then watching how they perform in the market. He introduced "tools" to check every day for a couple of minutes, depending on ...
  
  











  



  
Captain America by Ed Brubaker Omnibus, Vol. 119 reviews
Ed Brubaker

Marvel Comics, 2007

A gorgeous collection for the Best Captain America run out there.
Brubaker is the man. I buy everything with his name on it, and this Omnibus that collects the first 25 issues of his run (leading up to the "Death of a Dream" storyline) is brilliant. This edition collects the story arcs: "Out of Time", "The Winter Soldier", "21st Century Blitz", "Red is the Darkest Colour", "Collision Courses" and "The Drums of War (A Civil War Tie-In)" as well as the first ...
