Just Who Will You Be?: Big Question. Little Book. Answer Within. (ROUGHCUT) 39 reviews
Maria Shriver
Hyperion, 2008
Great book!
I really loved this book. Maria Shriver is a real person and she shines through with total understanding and the "awareness factor" of what real life is. Just because one has fame and fortune does not a happy person make. I'm not saying she is unhappy. Anything but. She simply points out that we all have the power of choice and she has figured that out. She also writes at any level, very easy to ...

Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea72 reviews
Chelsea Handler
Simon Spotlight Entertainment, 2008
So funny!
This book had me laughing so hard! Everyone around me must have thought I was crazy because I was laughing so much. Both of Chelsea Handler's books are absolutely hilarious. I love her on the "Chelsea Lately" show, but the books are so much better because she doesn't have to watch what she says. I gave both books to a friend of mine and she loves them too!

Love the One You're With82 reviews
Emily Giffin
St. Martin's Press, 2008
Character study
This is a great book that explores how one woman has to question her life decisions, her morals and herself and whether she would give up everything for love. Sound familiar? This is the closest book the author has written to "Something Borrowed" and a great look at a woman who is torn between right and wrong.
I am a little surprised that a few people found the book boring because it ...

It will cause you to re-assess what is working in your life and what is not. You will ...

The BEST exercise book I've EVER purchased.
This program is only for the serious goal-minded person! I am average athletic and wanted to drop a few pounds, but mostly get cut. I did it in 30 days. All by myself. No expensive trainer needed! It is important to read this book throughout before starting. It helps to have a gym membership or a home gym with all items needed. I strongly recommend following the diet...the recipes are ...

Excellent for Coaching Adults
Excellent book for coaching adults in the workplace & life. Adults, especially already sucessful adults don't often think they need feedback. This gives specific ideas on how to discover what the right "thing" to work on is & what steps to take. You can apply this to yourself as well.

You: On A Diet: The Owner's Manual for Waist Management670 reviews
Mehmet C. Oz, Michael F. Roizen
Free Press, 2006
Physicians On Diet
How refreshing to have physicians write scientifically-based books that promote a healthy body, healthy living, and disease prevention. Maybe these authors will inspire their colleagues to talk more to patients about living healthfully. The book is written in a way that makes nutrition and physiological insights readable and understandable by people who do not have a strong science background. ...

Valorie Schaefer
American Girl, 1998
Very informative, answers all the questions a girl could have!
I reviewed this book quickly then gave it to my 9 year old daughter. She had it read within an hour. We sat and discussed it and it seemed to answer all of her questions. It made her feel more comfortable about the changes that her body would be going through. Sometimes your kids have questions and you arent quite sure how to answer them, this book definitely steers you in the right direction. I ...

The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists561 reviews
Neil Strauss
William Morrow, 2005
Amazingly Entertaining
This book is not a how-to book, like some of my friends thought upon seeing me with it. What this book is, is an entertaining story of a man's journey in this community. He is a guy that many an average man can relate to, and learn from along the way.
He shares his story while imparting some lessons along the way. Not to mention, it was very humorous!

Michael F. Roizen, Mehmet C. Oz
Free Press, 2007
Great collection of information on the aging process
Some celebrity once opined that growing old wasn't easy or something to that effect - and, obviously to those of us who are growing old, they were absolutely correct. Growing old just isn't a whole lot of fun.
Drs. Roizen and Oz aren't necessarily trying to make the process of aging fun, but they do claim they can slow it down or, more appropriately, help you feel like you're not going ...
