As publisher of a magazine to inspire conscious parenting and empowered kids, this book reminded me of the importance of helping kids settle down, breath, and connect to the world (and people) around them. It's full practical steps to apply in everyday life but what keeps the pages turning are the personal stories she relates. Some ideas ...             The Joy of Vegan Baking: The Compassionate Cooks' Traditional Treats and Sinful Sweets104 reviews Colleen Patrick-Goudreau Fair Winds Press, 2007 Two thumbs up! I'd give this book five stars. Is it all healthy recipes? No. But it doesn't set out to be a healthy vegan baking book. The mission is to show that you can make tasty vegan baked goods without the use of animal products. It fits the bill. So while I tend to opt for more healthier versions (not using white flour, etc.), I still think it's a great book to have in my cookbook collection. ...             Puppy Whisperer: A Compassionate, Non Violent Guide to Early Training and Care14 reviews Paul Owens, Terence Cranendonk, ... Adams Media, 2007 Best Training Book EVER! I recently got a new puppy after not having one for many years. I thought I'd brush up on new training techniques and "non-violent" sounded good. I read the book before I brought her home and everything has worked beautifully! All the advice, techniques and training have been fantastik and I would highly recommend this book. I've had my pup now for a little over 2 weeks and there has been 1 ...             Rover, Don't Roll over: A Compassionate Training Guide for Dogs and Their People9 reviews Jody Rosengarten Ten Speed Press, 2004 Canine common sense On the subject of raising your voice to your dog, Jody Rosengarten advises, "He can hear a Frito fall at 250 yards. There's no need to yell." When I picked myself up off the floor and did some deep breathing to relieve my belly-laughing- induced tummy-ache, I knew I had found the dog book for me. It goes without saying that common sense is so simple as to often be overlooked. Never is the ...             Mountain's Stillness, River's Wisdom: A Compassionate Guide to the Art of Being8 reviews Philip M.

It was invaluable in my visits to assisted living and nursing home facilities - letting me know what to look for and what questions to ask. But there is so much more to this book than just that. If I could only buy one book to help me understand how I can help my parents this would definitely be it.             Affliction: A Compassionate Christian Look at Understanding the Reality of Pain and Suffering in Our Lives4 reviews Edith Schaeffer Fleming H.

Mostyn Gremost Publications, 2001 Highly Recommand Accounting Ace 911 This is a really great self-study book.

Accounting Ace 911 was a very good review. The moment I started reading this book, I could hardly pull myself ...             The teachings of the compassionate Buddha; (Mentor religious classic)5 reviews Edwin A Burtt Harper, 1951 A Superb Introduction Originally published in 1955, E. A. Burtt's "Teachings of the Compassionate Buddha" remains in print nearly half a century later for a very simple reason - it is a concise yet comprehensive introduction to Buddhist thought.

It comes off as unassuming and just generally pleasant, and when I finished reading it I sort of shrugged and thought, "Well, what a nice little book." Ha! The truth is, this book is quietly but steadily reshaping my life. I guard against being strident towards others and generally despise "confrontation," but All for Animals has helped me learn that in ...             Helping Someone With Mental Illness : Compassionate Guide For Family, Friends, and Caregivers7 reviews Rosalynn Carter Crown, 1998 Very Educational This was one book I did not hesitate to buy as I know so many people with the mental illnesses.

This book helped me to not be so afraid of death and instead to support my father and actually encourage him in this process by my mindful presence. I will never forget ...             The End-of-Life Handbook: A Compassionate Guide to Connecting with and Caring for a Dying Loved One7 reviews David B.
