I think absolutely anyone could benefit from reading this book. It makes clear the link between our thoughts and our moods and gives concrete methods for conciously changing the thought patterns that lead to self-destructive feelings and actions. And unlike many self-help books, it isn't dry or preachy; it's easy to read and well worth the time. If you're depressed, PLEASE buy this book - it ...             Damn, it Feels Good to Be a Banker: And Other Baller Things You Only Get to Say If You Work On Wall Street4 reviews Leveraged Sellout Hyperion, 2008 =IF(1+1=2,DIFGTBAB>BIBLE,0) I'm still trying to discern what the funniest aspect of this book is. Is it the blatant elitism/classicsm? Perhaps. Is it Wall Street's misogyny and generalizations of foreigners? There's definitely something there. Perhaps its LSO's ability to apply banker-speak and concepts to everyday life? That plays a role no doubt. Or maybe it's simply everything about the LSO including the aforementioned ...             The Good Thief73 reviews Hannah Tinti The Dial Press, 2008 Good 'un! I couldn't resist this tale of the trials and adventures of the 19th-century orphan boy in New England. My oh my, it's a good `un.             Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap... and Others Don't699 reviews Jim Collins Collins Business, 2001 Good to Great This is one of the best books on business ever written. Very easy to read and even easier to put into action.             The Good Earth (Enriched Classics)459 reviews Pearl S. Buck Pocket Books, 2005 If You Are Going to Read This Book . . . This book does exactly what the author intended: It creates a picture of the Chinese culture right before the arrival of the revolution, providing a view of a world quite different from our own. I have read several of the negative reviews, and my advice is, if you cannot for one moment let go of your attitude that the only right way is the way we do it now--the Christian American way--then you're ...             When Bad Things Happen to Good People123 reviews Harold S. Kushner Anchor, 2004 Fantastic read! I chose to read this book because my Dad was diagnosed with Brain cancer and i found it to be extremely helpful, without being too 'religious'. I am not a church person, but i do believe in God. This book just seemed to wrap it's arm around me and let me think and feel exactly as i needed to, without offering any of that unhelpful help that others tend to, without thinking their words through ...             Good to Great and the Social Sectors: A Monograph to Accompany Good to Great62 reviews Jim Collins HarperCollins, 2005 Excellent companion addressing not-for-profits' unique needs Jim Collins is the author of "Good to Great," an influential business and leadership book. In the time since the publication of the book, Collins realized that there exist points of disconnect within the book for leaders of not-for-profit agencies (e.g. churches, local charitable organizations, groups that exist for specific causes like disease eradication or the advancement of art). In an ...             Forces for Good: The Six Practices of High-Impact Nonprofits17 reviews Leslie Crutchfield, Heather McLeod Grant Jossey-Bass, 2007 Twelve High-Impact "Starfish" After completing five years of rigorous and extensive research on 1,435 "Fortune 500" companies during a 30-year period (1965-1995), Jim Collins and his associates selected only eleven that met their admittedly "very tough standards" for greatness. (Note: Collins also wrote Good to Great and the Social Sectors: A Monograph to Accompany Good to Great, published four years later.) Leslie ...             The Feeling Good Handbook85 reviews David D. Burns Plume, 1999 A Critical Analysis of the Feeling Good Handbook Abstract The following study investigates the text, The Feeling Good Handbook, by David Burns. Specifically addressed are issues regarding the cognitive-behavioral model of twisted thinking, moral relativism, and the denial of objective truth. It was found that the text provides an inadequate definition and application regarding moral and objective truth issues. Recommendations for revision of ...             Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day176 reviews Judith Viorst Aladdin, 1987 No good, Very bad, DAY! This is a childhood favorite of mine explaining the life of a child who is having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day! He goes through why he is having this terrible day and at the ending there is a little surprise. Very good for younger children, even some older children. Great to read in a classroom!             Good Calories, Bad Calories179 reviews Gary Taubes Knopf, 2007 Nobel Prize quality This book is intellectually dazzling and of critical importance. It demolishes all the ideas of nutrition and health we are being fed by the current crop of 'experts'. Mr Taubes demolishes the high fat theory once and for all and points out sugar causes diabetes. Fat is by and large irrelevant. A little fat, a lot of fat, heaps of fat, no fat. It doesn't matter. The author quietly and efficiently ...             Changing for Good: A Revolutionary Six-Stage Program for Overcoming Bad Habits and Moving Your Life ...32 reviews James O. Prochaska, John Norcross, ... Collins Living, 1995 What a nice change! Unlike most self-help books out there, this one is actually based on research for a change. Based on this Phd's work on how people change, this guy has uncovered the different, predictable stages of change that people go through when they attempt to get themselves to change. Although the stages are fairly predictable, not everybody goes through them in the exact same order as some people skip ...             Good Masters! Sweet Ladies! Voices from a Medieval Village17 reviews Laura Amy Schlitz Candlewick Press, 2007 Truly excellent! Winner of the 2008 Newberry Medal, Good Masters! Sweet Ladies! was actually written to be performed.

I read through this manual before getting our first dog last week and it proved to be invaluable. We have followed it's instructions to a "t" and our puppy is house trained in one week with no accidents. She sleeps through the night (and has since day 1) in her crate and is already learning simple commands. The book hits home the need to have a schedule, be ...             Good Night Gorilla Gift Box168 reviews Putnam Juvenile, 2003 Better Than Goodnight Moon Opposed to other reviews, my personal opinion is that Good Night Gorilla is better than Goodnight Moon (although both are great bedtime stories). Funny and filled with great illustrations, Good Night Gorilla is a charming reader. My sons just love it. Another bedtime story I'd recommend and they love is Ladybug Baby Bug, by Janice and Mark Perkins.             Everything Bad is Good for You87 reviews Steven Johnson Riverhead Hardcover, 2005 "Everything Bad" is middling Steven Johnson is a man with a mission. He begins his book with a quote from conservative columnist George Will, who complains that modern culture is abysmally stupid and is "infantilizing" our children. Johnson vigorously disagrees. His thesis is that computer games, TV, movies, and the internet are actually making us smarter. "Everything Bad is Good for You" is divided into two parts, the ...             Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (Discworld)521 reviews Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett Harper Paperbacks, 2007 Armageddon Has Arrived....and it's Hilarious! "God does not play dice with the universe; He plays an ineffable game of His own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players [i.e. everybody], to being involved in an obscure and complex variant of poker in a pitch-dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a Dealer who won't tell you the rules, and who smiles all the time." The end of the ...             Too Good to Leave, Too Bad to Stay: A Step-by-Step Guide to Help You Decide Whether to Stay In orGet Out of ...101 reviews Mira Kirshenbaum Plume, 1997 Finally...a concise, logical, tool "Am I throwing the baby out with the bath water?" That question was keeping me awake nights. Let's face it, whether to end it or stay will impact every, single day for the rest of your life. You wouldn't be reading this book if you weren't having serious relationship problems, but let's be honest, you wouldn't be confused if the relationship were 100% bad. I think it is natural to think of ...             Good in Bed758 reviews Jennifer Weiner Washington Square Press, 2002 My Favorite! I love Cannie Shapiro in this novel!
