The Healing of America: A Global Quest for Better, Cheaper, and Fairer Health Care124 reviews
T. R. Reid

The Penguin Press, 2009

The Healing of America
Excellent description of viable health plans around the world. It is too bad we can't overlay the good elements of foreign plans on the U.S. due to our 'for-profit' helath insurance system.

Toni Weschler

Harper Paperbacks, 2006

Very enlightening
I borrowed this book from a friend who was using it as a birth control method. I read the chapters on charting and pregnancy achievement. I was off the pill for about 5 months and tried the first month before having read the book. The second month after reading it I used all the methods it described with charting my basal body temperature, cervical fluid and position and by 3 days before my ...
  
  











  



  
Now, Discover Your Strengths365 reviews
Marcus Buckingham, Donald O. Clifton

Free Press, 2001

helps you avoid the wrong job or role
Studies have shown that more people suffer heart attacks on Mondays, and less people die during a recession. These two facts might seem irrelevant at a glance, but it points to the fact there are a lot of unhappy people trying to do jobs that they hate, or are unsuited to perform. Once people are forced to leave the jobs, they miraculously get healthier. Go figure. I first took the ...
  
  











  



  
The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook252 reviews
Ina Garten, Martha Stewart

Clarkson Potter, 1999

Best cookbook I ever bought
I bought this cookbook based on the recommendation of Jennifer Garner in an Oprah magazine. Jennifer likes Ina Garten's recipes because they produce great tasting food without a lot of work but also aren't simplified to the point of being ridiculous. The example she used of oversimplification was recipes that call for something like Cheez Whiz. This cookbook includes some really wonderful ...
  
  











  



  
Barefoot Contessa Parties! Ideas and Recipes for Easy Parties That Are Really Fun98 reviews
Ina Garten

Clarkson Potter, 2001

Love Ina, Love the book
Ina's books are so beautifully illustrated. The recipes are wonderful my family and friends enjoy everything that I have prepared. The Chinese Chicken Salad was good but the dressing called for an 1/2 cup of peanut butter, and 4 teaspoons of kosher salt. When making this dressing, do not include the extra salt because peanut butter is salty enough without adding more to it. I just thought that ...

Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap... and Others Don't787 reviews
Jim Collins

HarperBusiness, 2001

A Levle 5 Book
One of the best business books I've "read". The audio quality is great. Mr. Collins is great at reading his book. The pace was excellent. The concepts can be applied to any organization, family or business. The book left me wanting to know more about Fannie Mae and Circuit City, but otherwise a timeless work.
  
  











  



  
How Markets Fail: The Logic of Economic Calamities5 reviews
John Cassidy

Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2009

Brilliant, Damning Explanation for How We Got In This Mess
I have only a limited economics background, but Cassidy's writing is so lucid that didn't matter. The author coins the term "rational irrationality" to explain how, in a financial bubble, individual players are acting in their own rational self-interest--even if, taken as a hole, the actions of all the players lead to irrational(and often disastrous) outcomes. Cassidy traces the origins of the ...
  
  











  



  
Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die307 reviews
Chip Heath, Dan Heath

Random House, 2007

Making ideas memorable
Ideas which are "sticky" draw from a common set of traits, which make them more likely to succeed, and this information can be used by anyone who wants to communicate in an effective and memorable way, according to Chip Heath and Dan Heath in this book. The book provides a number of "idea clinics", in which the same idea is presented in a non-sticky and a sticky manner, to illustrate how ...
  
  











  



  
Leading Change87 reviews
John P. Kotter

Harvard Business Press, 1996

How to change a large organisation
We often make terrible mistakes when attempting to bring about significant changes in large organisations because history has not prepared us for transformational challenges, according to John Kotter in this highly regarded book. Kotter recommends an 8-step change process, with the first step being establishing a sense of urgency. People will not be willing to undergo the pain of change unless ...

The purpose of Why Architecture Matters is to ?come to grips with how things feel to us when we stand before them, with how architecture affects us emotionally as well as intellectually??with its impact on our lives. ?Architecture begins to matter,? writes Paul Goldberger, ?when it ...

How to Retire Happy, Wild, and Free: Retirement Wisdom That You Won't Get from Your Financial Advisor49 reviews
Ernie J. Zelinski

VIP Books, 2009

Zelinski hits another one out of the park!
Ernie Zelinski is one of my favorite authors, and one of the best in my opinion, in the "finance" and "self help" categories. His approach to life and insight into what it takes to be happy is second to none. I have been reading and rereading his stuff for years now, and I am always excited and ready to take on the world when I finish one of his books. I recommend Mr. Zelinski's books to ...

Great information and style
This book is a fast read ... but not taken lightly. I think there are tremendous lessons in this book and a lot to learn. Thanks to Chris and Julien for taking things that should be common sense and transforming them into a very interesting book that is helping me educate colleagues on why a change is necessary.
