Into the Wild 1219 reviews Jon Krakauer
Anchor, 1997
I went to the woods ..
+ Poorly Equipped Dreamer + Beauty, goodness and hope. . .
That the force that is nature will ultimately change those of us who are enthralled by it. Its not surprising tht the protagnist in "Into the Wild" gives up so much to live primtively in the northern climes of Alaska .. its Thoreau revisited. The author never fails to please those who understand ...

The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair that Changed America 770 reviews Erik Larson
Vintage, 2004
Time machine
+ Highly Rated for History Fans + A bit tedious at times, but worth a read - esp if you like architectural history
This book makes me wish I had a time machine to go back and see the White City in person. I work in downtown Chicago and I walk by many of the buildings described in the book every day. I find it fascinating to think of what Chicago must have been like in 1893. Of course the story of HH Holmes is ...

The Seat of the Soul 395 reviews Gary Zukav
Free Press, 1990
One of many books to open the understanding of Soul.
+ Wonderful reading for anyone! + The Seat of the Soul is absolutely a core choice.
I found this book to be THE leapboard into spiritual understanding and empowerment. For me, Seat of the Soul is written in more of a philosophical and scientific language that I understand.
If one is to look at most of the books on these topics we would see that they are all speaking to the same ...

The World Is Flat 3.0: A Brief History of the Twenty-first Century 1168 reviews Thomas L. Friedman
Picador, 2007
Approachable for all readers, essential for understanding our flat world. This book should be on everyones "must read" list

I found the first section (263 pages) difficult to plow through - I come from a software / engineering background and found the techie speak in the first section dry. Understandably this book was written for a broad audience, and this section was a prerequisite for the remainder of the book as it ...
