Susan Bock The Success Coach for Women in Business www.SusanBockSolutions.com             The Things They Carried699 reviews Tim O'Brien Broadway, 1998 Thought Provoking, Thoughtful, Emotional Read this book over 10 years ago for high school. It was one of those that really made you think, put you in the state of mind and emotions of the character. A bit depressing - but within context of being a soldier in a war that you did not want to be in; it was pretty powerful. Best of all, there's no deep political, overly spiritual, or wildly insane interjections that one would see in other ...             Home: A Novel9 reviews Marilynne Robinson Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2008 The Prodigal at Home How simple it seems, that story of the Prodigal Son! The wanderer returns; his joyful father falls on his shoulder and orders the fatted calf to be killed; the stay-at-home sibling is resentful for a while, but presumably learns to deal with it. For the story stops there. There is no tomorrow. The Bible doesn't ask what happens in the weeks and months after that. Is the family happily reunited? ...             Crucial Confrontations33 reviews Kerry Patterson, Joseph Grenny, ...

For both side's sake.             Setting Limits with Your Strong-Willed Child : Eliminating Conflict by Establishing Clear, Firm, and ...101 reviews Robert J. MacKenzie Ed.D. Three Rivers Press, 2001 I Have a Strong Willed Child If anyone feels the stress of raising a strong willed child, THEY NEED THIS BOOK! It has made me understand how my child views things and how to better interact with and discipline my child. Better yet, it helps me recognize when my child pulls me into a battle where I usually get worn down, fraustrated and give it to her wants. I have my power back, I feel more confident in my parenting and I ...             The Verbally Abusive Relationship: How to Recognize it and How to Respond221 reviews Patricia Evans Adams Media, 2003 This book saved my soul Verbal abuse kills your soul one word at a time. This book helped me realize that no amount of explaining on my part would ever get through to my husband how his words damaged me and others. After 20 years, it hit me that he will never change. Please realize that verbal abusers can be women as well as men (the author doesn't emphasize this enough). All in all, this is the most helpful book I ...             How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk179 reviews Adele Faber, Elaine Mazlish Collins Living, 1999 A very Enlightening Book This is such an important area that all of us as parents need to learn. How we speak and interact with our kids is the basis for their success in life. One of the best parenting books that not only outlines all the important child-rearing principles but also how to help your child become a happy and empowered young person is Bully-Proofing Children: A Practical, Hands-On Guide to Stop Bullying. ...             Siblings Without Rivalry: How to Help Your Children Live Together So You Can Live Too71 reviews Adele Faber, Elaine Mazlish Collins Living, 1998 Helping Children Get Along A wonderful book on helping siblings get along. But I also highly recommend for parents and teachers the book:Bully-Proofing Children: A Practical, Hands-On Guide to Stop Bullying.

McGraw-Hill, 2002 Common sense isn't really all that common I like this book a lot. Developed for business communication it has applications for many areas of life. I found it clear, instructive, insightful and relatively free of new-age doublespeak. I work in an ER and I communicate with angry people (sometimes including myself) in emotionally-charged situations on a daily basis. I find the techniques presented in this book quite practical. For ...             People Skills: How to Assert Yourself, Listen to Others, and Resolve Conflicts40 reviews Robert Bolton Touchstone, 1986 Great people skills book Although "People Skills" was first published in 1986, I feel obliged to review it as the principles and lessons espoused by Robert Bolton are timeless. In fact it is probably one of the most used books in my collection (I even have the paperback version covered in plastic and it's never far from my desk). "People Skills" is not a book that one sits down and reads from cover to cover. It's a ...             The Peacemaker: A Biblical Guide to Resolving Personal Conflict39 reviews Ken Sande Baker Books, 2004 The Peace Maker By Ken Sande I have been attending a bible study at my church which is based on the book, The Peace Maker by Ken Sande. I was so impressed with the book and with the study that I ordered a copy of the book for each of my three adult children. The book is well-written and is an "easy" read. I only wish I could have had access to the book thirty or forty years ago! Any adult could benefit from the reading ...             We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will be Killed With Our Families: Stories from Rwanda215 reviews Philip Gourevitch Picador, 1999 One of the best books I have read in a long time Philip Gourevitch, in We Wish to Inform You, has accomplished an incredible feat: a moral and reasoned history of an insane situation. He manages to cut through all of the misinformation that we so often hear about the Rwandan Genocide and write something truly informative. Other reviews on Amazon have complained about his focus on the political/violent situation in the entire region, but I ...             The Three Trillion Dollar War: The True Cost of the Iraq Conflict31 reviews Joseph E. Stiglitz, Linda J. Bilmes W. W. Norton, 2008 $3 trillion would have been cheap This book puts forth a lot of numbers and tries to put a price on certain things that should not have to have a price on it: such as the price of a human life. But it needs to happen because obviously this country does not value the lives of its soldiers. This book backs up the sentiment that veterans feel, that their life, sacrifices and the sacrifices of their family are for not. ...             Getting Past No42 reviews William Ury Bantam, 1993 Useful & Easy To Read This book is simple and to the point. It does what it claims - teach you how to negotiate. You follow the steps when you deal with salespeople, bankers, and so forth. It is particularly helpful because it tells you the games people play. Once you know what they do, it is possible to counteract it. In other words, it is a useful book.             The Anatomy of Peace: Resolving the Heart of Conflict68 reviews Berrett-Koehler Publishers, 2008 An apparently additional redundant POSITIVE review Well, that is pretty impressive. At the time of writing this review there are currently 64 reviews, and of those 59 are 5-star and 5 are 4-star. Really, that should say a lot. The Arbinger Institute has crafted one of the best works on understanding the root of peace in humanity that I have ever seen. The "warring in your heart" concept is something we all probably innately understand, but ...             The Coldest Winter: America and the Korean War129 reviews David Halberstam Hyperion, 2007 Outstanding work. This fine work on the Korean War sets the bar at a new level. Simply Outstanding.             The Lucifer Effect: Understanding How Good People Turn Evil60 reviews Philip Zimbardo Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2008 Or the Angelic effect? In 1971 Dr. Phillip Zimbardo joined the likes of Milgram and Munoz as being perhaps one of the most dubious researchers at the edge of psychology. This is because he engaged in a two week experiment to test the reactions of students to being placed in an artificial prison to see what their reactions would be. Though the project had been scheduled for a mere two weeks, a stunned Zimbardo ...             We Are Soldiers Still: A Journey Back to the Battlefields of Vietnam10 reviews Harold G. Moore, Joseph L. Galloway Harper, 2008 Should be on the Desk of every President, Congressperson, General and Soldier This is a book that I hope will be widely read in the White House, Congress, Pentagon, West Point and Army bases. A very poignant journey for General Moore and journalist Joe Gallagher back to Vietnam and the Ia Drang valley where so many of Hal Moore's boys so bravely fell in battle. Nice that Moore and Gallagher visit the leaders of the opposing army. We too easily forget that those who fell as ...             Picture Perfect61 reviews Jodi Picoult Berkley Trade, 2002 Page Turner Jodi Picoult has written a page turner that has you on the edge of your seat. I felt a range of emotion while reading the book. I couldn't put this book down and read it in record time.
