books: a life of ...     books:       Life of Pi1836 reviews Yann Martel Harvest Books, 2004 Great Fable This book rates in my top 5 right next to The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. What you need to keep in mind is that it is a STORY, a FABLE, not meant to be perceived as reality. Although, I found a lot of it believable. Maybe not the meerkat island, but even that bit of the story was intriguiing. I wish he had stayed on the island a little longer. I absolutely loved the meshing of three religions, ...             You Can Heal Your Life (Gift Edition)280 reviews Louise Hay Hay House, 1999 highly recommended I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in helping himsef/herself improve their thoungts and positive energy.             Anticancer: A New Way of Life11 reviews David Servan-Schreiber Viking Adult, 2008 Why Don't We All Get Cancer?

The author, David Servan-Schreiber tells his story of how he discovered his own brain cancer while testing an ...             The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao200 reviews Junot Díaz Riverhead Trade, 2008 Impressive This book delves into layers of history, despots, struggle, and the courage of everyday human beings in a less than welcoming world. A masterpiece!             My Horizontal Life: A Collection of One-Night Stands242 reviews Chelsea Handler Bloomsbury USA, 2005 Laugh out loud funny! I thought this was such a funny book. Not for the faint of heart, but if you are a Chelsea Handler fan, you'll love this book. I can hear her saying and doing some of the things she describes, well written and true to Chelsea.             Body for Life: 12 Weeks to Mental and Physical Strength941 reviews Bill Phillips, Michael D'Orso Collins Living, 1999 This fitness program is the real deal! Great book! "Body For Life" is the most approachable, motivational, and effective fitness program I have encountered. Several of my male friends were getting in extremely buff while following this program, and their wives were getting into great shape, so I had to toss my skepticism aside and give it a try. Sure enough, even after 6 weeks, people were noticing that I looked "physically fit." The ...             The Secret Life of Bees1400 reviews Sue Monk Kidd Penguin (Non-Classics), 2008 The Reader On the CD Version Does a Wonderful Job!! This is such an interesting and fascinating book to listen to. I listened with baited breath. I just might want to read the book myself as well. Lily the main character is so lovable as are all the characters that are brought vividly to life. I so enjoyed the dialogue and the historical references from the 60's. I especially loved the implication of the Black Madonna. Lily's search for who ...             Change Your Brain, Change Your Life: The Breakthrough Program for Conquering Anxiety, Depression, ...130 reviews Daniel G. Amen Three Rivers Press, 1999 Freedom from Negativity This fascinating book is filled with scientific proof that our thoughts directly affect our physical, mental and spiritual lives. Thoughts release a chemical reaction that is directly linked to our deep limbic system, the part of our brain that allows us to experience and express emotion. Through the use of imaging technology Dr. Amen shows us what a healthy brain looks like, and compares it ...             The Purpose Driven® Life: What on Earth Am I Here For? (Purpose Driven® Life, The)1097 reviews Rick Warren Zondervan, 2007 A MUST READ!!! VERY SPIRITUAL & MOTIVATING!!! I must say that I was not a very spiritual person until now. I have gone to several churches over many of my 41 years and not one has delivered the message to me that this book has. This book has saved my relationship and given me a completely different perspective on life. I am so interested in learning more about God and have plans to read the entire Bible within the next year. I have ...             The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life22 reviews Alice Schroeder Bantam, 2008 The closest we'll get to an autobiography Unless you've been living under a rock, you know that Warren Buffett is the richest person in the world and worth more than $60 billion dollars. Often called the "Oracle of Omaha" for his uncanny ability to pick investments, Mr. Buffett has never expounded on his life in a book, nor has he offered much access to folks writing about him. Until now. Somehow, the author of this book (an ...             One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich (Signet Classics)166 reviews Alexander Solzhenitsyn Signet Classics, 2008 Heartbreaking Since I had never read anything by Solzhenitsyn, I ordered this book when he died. It is so bleak and hopeless that I could not read it straight through - I could only take it in small doses. I am absolutely stunned that Breshnev allowed it to be published. I have learned more than I ever thought possible about the USSR, that time in history, evil, and courage.             Lush Life: A Novel161 reviews Richard Price Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2008 The Price is Right Richard Price is as good of a dialogue writer as exists today in my mind. "Lush Life" is his latest novel that brilliantly showcases his skills and keen knowledge and insights of city life, particularly NYC life. Other reviewers have already covered the plot so I won't spend my commentary focusing on that. The novels pace is criticized by some reviewers but I view the pace of the novel from ...             Real Life: Preparing for the 7 Most Challenging Days of Your Life1 review Dr. Phil McGraw Free Press, 2008 Brilliant so far :-0 While I'm not quite at the end right now, (38 pages left) I find this book brilliant. It is such a big help and great tool for practically everybody. It's a little bit like a manual for your life, just like you'd get a car manual in your new car or a manual on how to operate your computer etc. It's well written like his books always are and easy to follow and comprehend. From the loss of a ...             Get Out of My Life, but First Could You Drive Me & Cheryl to the Mall: A Parent's Guide to the New Teenager, ...99 reviews Anthony E. Wolf Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2002 Right on target! I found this book to be of great value in improving communication with my 9th grade daughter. I wish I had read it sooner!             Your Money or Your Life: Transforming Your Relationship with Money and Achieving Financial Independence196 reviews Joe Dominguez, Vicki Robin Penguin (Non-Classics), 1999 How to be financially independant I have read over 50 books by all the most popular financial authors today, and I believe this classic from the early 90's is by far the best if your goal is to be financially independent from your job once and for all. The author himself actually became independent in his early thirties and remained so for over 20 years until his untimely death due to a critical illness. So this book is not about ...             It's a Wonderful Life484 reviews James W. Rodgers, Frank Capra, ... Dramatic Pub Co, 1994 Masterpiece At its center, the film works because we all have wondered what would the world be like if we were never born. Have we had an impact? After all, whether it's leaving behind descendants, works of art, discoveries, or just our name, we all want some recognition, that we mattered, or at least were here. It helps define our sojourn, and allow us to extrapolate meaning from a cosmos which is random, ...             Green for Life120 reviews Victoria Boutenko Raw Family Publishing, 2005 simple yet revolutionary I have tried raw food diets but found it time consuming and difficult. This book has provided me with the solutions I have been looking for: healthy diet that tastes great, requies little prep time and leaves you feeling quite satisfied. I recommend giving it a try.             Life, the Science of Biology31 reviews W. H. Freeman & Sinauer Assoc., Inc., 2008 Biology Book Thank you so much for the speedy, high quality transaction!

This book has it all.             Let Your Life Speak: Listening for the Voice of Vocation53 reviews Parker J. Palmer Jossey-Bass, 1999 Priceless wisdom... Books make great gifts. This is the one I give most often. I love Palmer's writing style and his message. As with his other books, Let Your Life Speak is well-organized and the concepts well developed. In this era, in this culture, there are countless forces that urge us to ask the wrong question-- What should I do with my life? That question and related ones are evidence of the distorting, ...              search for books achieving, anticancer, anxiety, breakthrough, buffett, business, challenging, classics, collection, conquering, denisovich, depression, financial, horizontal, impulsiveness, independence, listening, obsessiveness, one-night, physical, preparing, purpose, relationship, snowball, strength, teenager, transforming, vocation, wonderful, wondrous books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
