Fair Ph.D. Walking Stick Press, 2000 Take this amazing trip; it is a gift for your soul. This book has been on my shelf to review for several months, but so many events took my time and energy that I am just now beginning to find my way back to words. My dad died January 5, 2002, and I gave the eulogy at his funeral. How do you share the love and life of someone so dear, yet bring comfort to others who are also suffering this loss? This book, this wonderful book, helped me to ...             Love Life for Every Married Couple43 reviews Ed Wheat Zondervan Publishing Company, 1987 Jesus said 'My kingdom is not of this world.' ~John 18:36 If you are looking for "secular" advice on marriage this book is not for you. However, if you are ready to have the marriage that Jesus Christ planned for you to have this book will help you start living the love-life you deserve and are biblically commanded to have.

Ouspensky Paul H. Crompton, 2004 Point of view This is an extraordinary mind-altering book, if you allow it to be. You cannot truly understand G.'s teachings from your own perspective. You have to see it from the perspective that G. wants you to see it from. You have to relinquish your current thinking and surrender to his view, then you can see the truth that lies behind the illusions... This is his way of teaching, not by ways of ...             The Dance of Anger91 reviews Harriet Goldhor Lerner Thorsons, 1999 The Dance of Anger This book is extremely helpful. I often wondered why I give up so much of my own personality to blend in. Now I am working on recovering my personality so I can be a leader and be myself. I am sure there are enough doormats in the world without me being one too. Everyone should read this book!             Man's Search for Meaning74 reviews Viktor E. Frankl Beacon Press, 2006 This is the one. Beautiful. Disturbing. Transcendent. If you read only one book on your own "search for meaning" -- though let's hope for at least two or three -- this is the one.             The Narcissistic Family: Diagnosis and Treatment45 reviews Stephanie Donaldson-Pressman, Robert M. Pressman Jossey-Bass, 1997 Thank GOD for this book I always knew my mom could be awful and my dad was passive, and that our household wasn't normal. But because there was no obvious abuse - no alcoholism, no hitting - and my parents paid for sailing lessons and an Ivy League college - I thought my adult problems were unrelated. Even after two consecutive therapists labeled my mother a narcissist, I couldn't make the connection between my ...             Perfect Parenting38 reviews Elizabeth Pantley McGraw-Hill, 1998 Lots of ideas for every issue This is a great handy book to keep around to pick up a few tips anytime you have an issue with your kids and you don't know what to do.

L. Baker W. W. Norton, 2007 Excellent book/Study As a targeted parent whose daughter has not spoken with him for the last 5 years, Amy Baker's book, "Adult Children of Parental Alienation Syndrome: Breaking the Ties that Bind" has been the most informational and encouraging book I've read on the P.A.S. topic so far. The reason is simple: This book is comprised of interviews of the KIDS (now adults) who were poisoned, not the parents who were ...             Reiki The Ultimate Guide, Vol. 2 Learn Reiki Healing with Chakras, plus New Reiki Healing Attunements for ...69 reviews Steve Murray body and mind productions inc, 2005 Great program! I have nothing but great things to say about Steve Murray's program. All his books are well-written, to the point, and very informative. I also agree that if you can send someone long-distance Reiki, it only follows that you could send someone a long-distance attunement. I was fortunate enough to be able to do both a Reiki 1 seminar in person, and Steve Murray's Reiki 1 DVD attunement with his ...             One Child171 reviews Torey L. Hayden Topeka Bindery, 1999 Fascinating Narrative This amazing true story is about a violent 6-year old.

Freeman & Company, 1999 A Gift--A Must-read for All Women in Therapy Even if you are lucky enough never to experience transference and attachment issues with your therapist, there is plenty of good information here about the goals of psychotherapy, its history, subgroups and boundaries. And if you ARE experiencing transference, dependence, attachment or all three, do yourself a huge favor and read this book. An amazing book. Highly recommended. An absolute gift ...             Turning the Mind Into an Ally36 reviews Sakyong Mipham Riverhead Trade, 2004 A 10-Star Book! Awesome Writer/Great Teacher! This book was a pleasure to read. The message was awesome and the metaphorical teachings are a work of art! This author transcends Buddhism. He is not trying to sell Buddhism as a religion.

The goal of all of this is happiness and it ...             Radical Acceptance35 reviews Bantam, 2004 Exactly what I needed. Going through a divorce after having been dumped by a husband of 17 years, I was really critical of myself. As if having endured the ex's scorn wasn't enough, I had to add o--and add on--and add on to the attacks on every aspect of my personality. I was stupid. I was unattractive. I was not "woman enough." I didn't deserve love. This book was recommended by my therapist and it was just what I ...             Psychology28 reviews David G. Myers Worth Publishers, 2006 Very thorough and interesting! I love this book, I'm 16 and I have no trouble understanding it (though I am smarter than your average teen). It's quite interesting and explains a lot. It's the perfect introduction to psychology for someone like myself looking to pursue it as a career.             Happiness: A Guide to Developing Life's Most Important Skill31 reviews Matthieu Ricard Little, Brown and Company, 2007 The Need for Practice This is just a footnote to the other reviews, especially the one that wants more of the "how" to implement the author's suggestions. Ricard is one of the finest students of one of the finest teachers of the Tibetan tradition as is, for example, the very popular author Pema Chödrön. Chödrön's books and "Happiness" by Ricard share the same characteristic: they make great inspirational reading BUT ...             Because I Remember Terror, Father, I Remember You32 reviews Sue William Silverman University of Georgia Press, 1996 Heard Sue William at a reading The story belongs to the one who tells it best. This will never be topped. Sensitive and brave, Sue William finds the words to tell the truth and heal not only her own soul but many others.             Becoming Attached: First Relationships and How They Shape Our Capacity to Love30 reviews Robert Karen Oxford University Press, USA, 1998 Book Review on "Becoming Attached" This is an amazing book which was recommended to me by a friend who works in Child Protection - the parents of the children have mental health issues which range from learning disabilities to more extreme personality disorders. She sees babies and toddlers who have been abused through neglect; absence of communication; verbal, emotional, physical and sexual abuse. The children suffer a range of ...             Freeing Your Child from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: A Powerful, Practical Program for Parents of Children ...26 reviews Tamar E.

Nadeau Advantage Books, 2000 Book: Understanding Girls with ADHD I would highly recommend this book to parents and guardians of girls with ADHD. I saw many of my daughter's behaviors and symptoms very clearly at each stage of her life - how I wish I had had this book when she was younger! We were fortunate to have a pre-school teacher who was experienced enough to point out to us the "red flags" she was observing with our daughter's behavior in the classroom ...             Raising An Emotionally Intelligent Child32 reviews John Gottman, Joan Declaire Simon & Schuster, 1998 A Book for Every Parent John Gottman is a professor of psychology at the University of Washington, a Rabbi, author of the excellent book, "The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work," and also an entertaining speaker.

Against that backdrop, it wasn't difficult for my wife to get me ...              search for books acceptance, adolescents, alienation, attached, attunements, becoming, capacity, compulsive, developing, diagnosis, disorder, emotionally, happiness, important, intelligent, miraculous, narcissistic, obsessive, obsessive-compulsive, parenting, practical, professional, psychology, relationships, reluctant, remember, therapists, treatment, ultimate, understanding books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
