This Is Where I Leave You137 reviews
Jonathan Tropper

Dutton Adult, 2009

Wonderful!
People have described this book as "easy reading," and not break-out lit, but I beg to disagree. The author is a great writer simply BECAUSE he makes it easy to read, and the break-out quality of the book is its seamless movement between past and present without breaking a sweat. Also, it's hysterically funny. One of my faves: "If we lived on a dead-end street, I'd keep on driving." Favorite ... 		  
  







  
  
What Got You Here Won't Get You There: How Successful People Become Even More Successful265 reviews
Marshall Goldsmith, Mark Reiter

Hyperion, 2007

Winning is Losing
I have found that "What Got You Here..." is an especially effective source of wisdom to be used by especially bright ,opinionated, tech savvy leaders who are used to having the "right" answers to technical problems. As an executive coach, many of the issues highlighted by Marshall Goldsmith's book, are especially useful in high tech industries where the "team" is absolutely essential for ... 		  
  







  
  
You Say More Than You Think: Use the New Body Language to Get What You Want!, the 7-day Plan10 reviews
Janine Driver, Mariska van Aalst

Crown, 2010

lots of helpful tips
I've started to collect books about body language, and this is definitely one of the best. I received it a few days ago and just flipping through it, I've found a good handful of surprising tidbits and tricks. The Belly Button Rule is simple but seems to work well, even with my kids. I'm finding that it not only helps me read other people, it also helps me focus my attention on the person I'm ...

Ph.D. Harville Hendrix Ph.D.

Holt Paperbacks, 2007

Getting the Love You Want: A Guide for Couples
My wife has enjoyed the book and I have really enjoyed the audio CD during my drive time. I would not consider this just another "self-help" book. The information in book really got me thinking about my relationship with my wife and how our past really does affect our future. The book gave us Hope that we will not be just another divorce couple. 		  
  







  
  
When You Reach Me80 reviews
Rebecca Stead

Wendy Lamb Books, 2009

Engaging Read!
When You Reach Me was one of the best books I've read in a long time. It was the kind of book you can't put down, you want to race through to find out the mystery, but at the same time you want to savor every word of this amazing author's prose. When I was 40 pages from finishing, I was already hoping the author was working on a sequel! It's an understatement that this book deserves the ...

When You Need a Miracle: Stories to Give You Faith and Bring You Hope2 reviews
Ann Spangler

Zondervan, 2010

A Miracle is who we Are...
By Albert C. Bender, Author of "You Are Forever In Time"...It's a beautiful written book. And, I love the authors sincere approach on the subject....That is, if one sees "Miracles" as coming from some external unknown Godly means? ...In life there is no such thing as an "Accident", everything is caused by choice...So, if 100 people die in a plane crash and only one should survive, is that a ... 		  
  







  
  
Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea429 reviews
Chelsea Handler

Gallery, 2009

Heelarious
Chelsea Handler does it again! Another laugh-out-loud page turner. I couldn't put this down! I liked My Horizontal Life a wee bit more but this is still very enjoyable. I am looking forward to her next book and seeing her on her comedy tour! 		  
  







  
  
The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down258 reviews
Anne Fadiman

Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1998

What else is there to say? Essential reading!
By the time more than two hundred people have reviewed a book and a hundred and seventy people have given it five stars, adding one's own two cents to the mix seems almost beside the point. Yet the significant minority who have written highly negative reviews seem to call out for response. Besides, I happened to love the book and want simply to share that fact. I knew nothing about the ... 		  
  







  
  
You Are Not a Gadget: A Manifesto14 reviews
Jaron Lanier

Knopf, 2010

Finally someone wrote this book!
There have been several book-length arguments about how the Internet has degraded content, culture, and creativity. Previous books in this vein have included Clifford Stoll's Silicon Snake Oil, Mark Helprin's Digital Barbarism, and Andrew Keen's The Cult of the Amateur. The first two of these are unreadable, and Keen's book is undone by his snarky tone. Jaron Lanier's You Are Not a Gadget is ...

You: On A Diet: The Owner's Manual for Waist Management744 reviews
Mehmet C. Oz, Michael F. Roizen

Free Press, 2006

You on a Diet
This is a very informative book that is written in layman terms so that anyone can clearly understand what is going on with their body. It has greatly helped me to understand my cravings, why I'm struggling with changing the way I eat, and so on. I recommend it to anyone who is trying to find what works for them. Or if you just want to know how your body works. Also, the diet isn't hard to ... 		  
  







  
  
48 Days To The Work You Love151 reviews
Dan Miller

B&H Books, 2005

Great Book to Make you think
Let me say this first, don't bother buying No More Mondays the book Dan Miller wrote after this one. Waste of Money. I may feel this way because I purchased both and its a lot of repeat. But I do believe 48 Days book is better when you dont have a clue what you want to do. The first 3 Chapters are very repetitive (Ok I get it, I hate my job and want to find the work I love). Chaper 4 it ... 		  
  







  
  
What to Expect: Eating Well When You're Expecting33 reviews
Heidi Murkoff

Workman Publishing Company, 2005

Thank goodness there is no guilt and good recipes
I have heard feedback from patients that really like the recipes in this book and that they are not too hard or time consuming to make since you really don't have time as a mom. There are many books out there for diet in pregnancy and this is good one to add, but there are some misconceptions out there that you are eating for two or that you need to gain a certain amount of weight during ...

Do What You Are: Discover the Perfect Career for You Through the Secrets of Personality Type151 reviews
Paul D. Tieger, Barbara Barron

Little, Brown and Company, 2007

Shortest Possible Way to Know About Yourself & Choose The Right Work For Life...
" Do what You Are " just shook me out of nowhere, which I was not expecting. Although the concept given by these two thorough researchers (Paul & Barbara) are well established for several years now, but frankly, it was the first time for me that I was reading & understanding about the 16 types of personalities - what are these 16 types of personalities by the way... How can the entire ...
