"Ultimately, man should not ask what the meaning of his life is, but rather must recognize that it is he who is asked. In a word, each man is questioned by life; and he can only answer to life by answering for his own life; to life he can only respond by being responsible." ~ Viktor Frankl from "Man's Search for Meaning" Viktor Frankl. He's unquestionably one of my heroes and this book is a ...             Teach Like Your Hair's on Fire: The Methods and Madness Inside Room 5668 reviews Rafe Esquith Viking Adult, 2007 Teach like your hair is on fire This book is enjoyable and very easy reading.

The book delivered exactly what it said it would deliver. The subtitle alone is "One Woman's Search for Everything...." It's not every woman's/person's search. Maybe you all don't find that you can relate to her journey because its very self-absorbed? Its a memoir. How can it not be? I appreciated reading about her unique ...             The Art of Possibility: Transforming Professional and Personal Life96 reviews Rosamund Stone Zander, Benjamin Zander Penguin (Non-Classics), 2002 Thoughts on "The Art of Possibility." The Art of Possibility is excellent. I think everyone should read it and seek to implement the suggestions made concerning how to diffuse highly emotional situations. It is very helpful in getting one to look at one's perspective of situations. In a nutshell, it would help individuals with conflicting opinions and ideas to resolve their differences. It would result with a win/win resolution.             SELECTIONS FROM: 90 Minutes in Heaven: An Inspiring Story of Life beyond Death469 reviews Don Piper, Cecil Murphey Revell, 2008 90 minutes in Heaven I bought this book for a gift so I didn't read it but hope to someday when she finishes reading this book.

With his seven simple ...             Where Women Create: Inspiring Work Spaces of Extraordinary Women38 reviews Jo Packham Sterling/Chapelle, 2005 For those who love the "more is more" look I really love this book. It is filled with rooms of true "artists" of all kinds. I personally like that "I work in this space and am inspired in this space look." If you are a "clutter free" person, this is not the book for you. It is not a book filled with junky artists' areas, but "organized, feel-good clutter." Hope my review helps.             Who Ordered This Truckload of Dung?: Inspiring Stories for Welcoming Life's Difficulties20 reviews Ajahn Brahm Wisdom Publications, 2005 Fantastic! This is a fantastic book, a treasure of short Buddhist tales with the deepest insights. Sometimes, when I don't have the time or the energy to read long discourses on spirituality I just grab this book, open it at random and read a couple of stories. It's and instant spiritual pick-me-up. Ajahn Brahm tells these stories with such a skill that you feel them come alive right before your eyes. I ...             Obit: Inspiring Stories of Ordinary People Who Led Extraordinary Lives6 reviews Jim Sheeler Penguin (Non-Classics), 2008 An Obit Collection Meant to Be Savored Jim Sheeler notes in his introduction: "The death beat is supposed to be the worst job in the newsroom. For those of us who understand, it's journalism's best kept secret -- a place of raw emotion and endless wisdom, a place where you find lessons of life more brilliant that anything you'll find from the traditionally designated 'noteworthy' people who usually appear in the rest of the ...             Same Kind Of Different As Me154 reviews Ron Hall, Denver Moore Thomas Nelson, 2006 This book moved me enough to write this review Here is a copy of an email I just sent my friends, and I want to share it with anyone reading these reviews. I'm reluctant to impose my spiritual beliefs, such as they are, on anyone - I wouldn't have made a very good disciple! - but I can't help but share this book with some of you whom I think would appreciate reading a very inspiring book called "Same Kinda Different as Me". I certainly ...             Twelve Mighty Orphans: The Inspiring True Story of the Mighty Mites Who Ruled Texas Football23 reviews Jim Dent Thomas Dunne Books, 2007 My Father, Leon Pickett My Father, Leon Pickett, was the oldest living member of he Mighty Mites until April 2, 2008.

Sarah (Pickett) McGarrahan             Pronoia Is the Antidote for Paranoia: How the Whole World Is Conspiring to Shower You with Blessings56 reviews Rob Brezsny Frog Books, 2005 If You're Not Joyful, You're Not Paying Attention It can be difficult for smarty-pants people to combat negativity. In literary, philosophic and academic circles, cynicism is rewarded; skepticism is virtuous; pessimism is conflated with realism. "If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention." But do these attitudes really help anyone? Why does being smart, aware, and/ or progressive mean you have to be miserable? Who actually wants ...             Scratch Beginnings: Me, $25, and the Search for the American Dream45 reviews Adam Shepard SB Press, 2007 Compelling idea and execution I agree that this guy, as a smart, healthy, and white male with no criminal record, had some advantages that others would not have. Still, I give him credit for what he accomplished in such a short time. Some reviewers complained about the depth of detail about his job in the second half of the book. I actually found it to be quite interesting. Of course, maybe I'm just biased because ...             500 Tiles: An Inspiring Collection of International Work (500 Series)7 reviews Lark Books Lark Books, 2008 Truly Inspiring At the risk of being self serving (my work is featured on page 411) I have to say as a clay artist in general and more particularly as a tilemaker this collection is inspiring.
