Magnificent Mind at Any Age: Natural Ways to Unleash Your Brain's Maximum Potential5 reviews
Daniel G. Md Amen

Harmony, 2008

This book is a gem!
This book is a jewel because of its beauty, which is rare and powerful. For this, I have to write that reading this book gave me a beautiful shock. Let me explain my reaction in two thoughts: The first is suggested in the title of Chapter 5: IF YOU WERE MY FAMILY, HOW WOULD I TREAT YOU? Few medical doctors share, with modesty, their personal experiences and the tools they use to make their ... 		  
  







  
  
Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life (P.S.)333 reviews
Barbara Kingsolver, Camille Kingsolver, ...

Harper Perennial, 2008

Good story, real life
Although I was questioning nearly every food choice while reading this book, it is fascinating! Not everyone will feel this way: a friend said she could not get into it because she doesn't like asparagus, and that is what the book was about (!?). Now that I have had time to fully digest the book (pun intended), I am able to be more mindful of my food choices without being completely ... 		  
  







  
  
Multiple Blessings: Surviving to Thriving with Twins and Sextuplets110 reviews
Jon Gosselin, Kate Gosselin, ...

Zondervan, 2008

A great lesson in parenting...
I've followed the story of the Gosselin family since their first 1-hour special on the Discovery channel, so it seemed very natural for me to read this book. What I didn't realize was the amount of emotion that's absent from the TV show that pours through in this book. I respected Jon and Kate very much before reading this, but now they're practically my heroes! When Kate wrote about some of ...

Annie Leibovitz at Work18 reviews
Annie Leibovitz

Random House, 2008

Great insight
If you're trying to find a book to learn photographic technique move on! Nothing to see here. If however you want an insight into the work of a great photographer this is a great autobiography. Easy, relaxed reading, with very little technical stuff. Still very inspirational. Shares much of the text with Annie Leibovitz: Life Through a Lens but the book is more focused on the work (as the ... 		  
  







  
  
Change Your Brain, Change Your Life: The Breakthrough Program for Conquering Anxiety, Depression, ...162 reviews
Daniel G. Amen

Three Rivers Press, 1999

Interesting
It's a prescription drug culture. Change Your Brain, Change Your Life by Daniel G. Amen tries to help people through meditation not medication. Other remedies he suggests are self-hypnosis and biofeedback, herbal remedies and dietary supplements among others. The book will give the reader many insights into the depths of the human brain. Don't be afraid trust in God where there life there's ... 		  
  







  
  
The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference953 reviews
Malcolm Gladwell

Back Bay Books, 2002

Very interesting!
I believe the basic premise of The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference by Malcolm Gladwell actually is true. If the right people take an idea and start behaving differently it will surge out until it reaches the "Tipping Point". Sometimes it the little things that mean the most. By the way, I see from reading the reviews on this site some people have recommend my book, ...

Awesome LOLcat Colleckshun!
This is a great way to share the hilarity of LOLcats with people who may not be as computer savvy. Purrfect coffee-table book! Book is nicely bound with good looking, color photos. Great quality! I would recommend this to anybody who finds these cats amusing and I would absolutely give this as a gift.

Talent Is Overrated: What Really Separates World-Class Performers from Everybody Else26 reviews
Geoff Colvin

Portfolio Hardcover, 2008

A few words...
You have your bashers and praisers. I'm the latter. This books is great! I remember reading his article on FORTUNE, and, till this day, I haven't forgotten it. I think about the opportunities I have missed in my youth, but, now that I think of it, I haven't missed anything. I'm putting myself to the test, and I'm taking those steps to greatness, even if it will take me years to get there. I ... 		  
  







  
  
Pieces of My Heart: A Life71 reviews
Robert Wagner, Scott Eyman

HarperEntertainment, 2008

A Gentleman all the way
I recently purchased this book for my Kindle after downloading a delightful sample. I was deciding between Mr. Wagner's book or Tony Curtis' book - and I am pleased that I chose the former. I didn't know a whole lot about Robert Wagner or his life story except for the usual bits about his marraiges and television programs (which I must confess I had no interest in watching when they were ...

The New Way Things Work38 reviews
David Macaulay

Houghton Mifflin/Walter Lorraine Books, 1998

Mammoth Lovers Unite!!!
I originally got this book back in 1988 when I was a young lad. That copy has served me well throughout high school, an college engineering curriculum, and my current employment. Just recently, my 10 year old "found" my copy and has been glued to it for weeks... and he'll be getting a copy for the holidays. I love the wit of the author as he pushes the Woolly Mammoths through science and ... 		  
  







  
  
Alphabet Juice: The Energies, Gists, and Spirits of Letters, Words, and Combinations Thereof; Their Roots, ...10 reviews
Roy Blount Jr.

Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2008

Got the Juice!
This tidy tome is an excellent exposition on the possible origins of language. The etymology of words can be debated, and should be, but Blount makes a convincing case that phoentics are the social Darwinism that drives the beastie that is language. This book is dense, and I am still wading through it, but I think it is an incredible resource for the clever linguist, as well as for those who ... 		  
  







  
  
The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich787 reviews
Timothy Ferriss

Crown, 2007

Read this or you lose.
I read some of the arrogant reviews and have to tell you read this, and if you don't get from it what I did you are not ready for the game. I have read over 100 books on business, personal development and success and this trumps them all combined. please do not be led by the un-successful amazon book reviewers, who have much personal bias in their reviews and no real world experience. I come ...

Nice book to own
This is the perfect book to flip through on a rainy day when you are thinking of far off places you would love to visit.

The Daring Book for Girls146 reviews
Andrea J. Buchanan, Miriam Peskowitz

Collins, 2007

Perfect for any girl, young or old
I bought this book for my niece for Christmas. I thumbed through it before wrapping it and fell in love with it. I can't wait until my boys are old enough to get the male counterpart version. My husband was so impressed with the book, he even wants to read it with her. It's the perfect gift for a young lady, something they can read and learn from on their own or with mom, nana or aunt. A ...

A Short History of Nearly Everything642 reviews
Bill Bryson

Broadway, 2004

Very Interesting and Entertaining
This is an excellent book and is very entertaining to read. It starts by explaining the beginning of time (big bang), and then goes chronologically from there explaining pretty much every aspect of the history of the universe and the Earth. Of course to fit this all into 400 pages Bryson has to be very brief, as the title of the book implies. But despite being brief, he never leaves out ...
