I smoked for over thirty-five years and after reading this book I stopped smoking cold turkey. I tried many times to quit but always failed, but for some reason that I cannot explain this book made me quit. It was like magic. I still had small cravings but I have not touched a cigarette since April 2006 (over 2 years). Now I don't crave them at all. My brother bought the book and he also quit, he ...             Dr. Judith Orloff's Guide to Intuitive Healing: 5 Steps to Physical, Emotional, and Sexual Wellness126 reviews Judith Orloff Three Rivers Press, 2001 Well-worth purchasing!

Too bad James Fry lied to Oprah. Memoirs are important and she is moving away from promoting them. Father's Touch is both a well-told story and educational at the same time.

This book shows the manipulative skill of molesters as well as the resilience of survivors ...             A Grief Observed133 reviews C. S. Lewis HarperOne, 1989 A Book of Great Beauty and Intelligence Although Lewis was, of course, a renowned and devout Christian, this book will speak to anyone who's lost someone with whom they shared real love. All of the questions, angers, and doubts that fill the mind during the numbing time following great loss are shared in the first person, generously, by Lewis. This is, I think, a beautiful, powerful, and deeply healing work.             Easy Way to Stop Smoking (Book & Cds)45 reviews Allen Carr Arcturus foulsham, 2002 5 stars for the book, 2 for the audio package As a 15-year smoker, I have tried to quit many times, and have had partial success twice with the nicotine patch, quitting for 8-12 months before succumbing to nicotine again and starting back. I was very skeptical that anything short of a medically-prescribed shot or drugs could cure me of my addiction, much less a book. I tried Mr. Carr's book anyway based on the positive reviews here. What ...             The Wizard of Oz and Other Narcissists: Coping with the One-Way Relationship in Work, Love, and Family70 reviews Eleanor Payson Julian Day Publications, 2002 Now it all makes sense After I finally ended a 20 year relationship with a man that I referred to as" the most self centered human on earth", I still struggled with the lesson I was to learn from it all and still had a fog about what I had experienced.

Yes, all of the portraits are not flattering of folks in the healthcare profession. We must view patients as people, with all their likes, dislikes and quirks. I found it to be a very funny, uplifting first person account.             February Light: A Love Letter to the Seasons During a Year of Cancer and Recovery36 reviews Heather Trexler Remoff St. Martin's Press, 1997 The Choice of Life I read this wonderfully written and deeply felt book a few years ago, after my mother succumbed to biliary cancer and long before I triumphed over my own cancer (prostate). During my year of cancer and recovery, I often thought of Remoff's book -- a gem that created a resonance I still feel today -- of her resilience and love of life. Familiar with the setting, Eagle's Mere (a quaint, old ...             I Am Your Disease: The Many Faces of Addiction30 reviews Sheryl Letzgus McGinnis, Heiko Ganzer Outskirts Press, 2006 As valuable as any clinical text. As a Clinical Social Worker, I recommend this book be mandatory for any professional in the field.

It reminds us that a life lost to substance abuse is a life ...             Victims No Longer26 reviews Mike Lew Nevraumont Publishing Company, 1988 Awesome read I gave this wonderful book to my husband who is in recovery from childhood sexual abuse by his father.

Demuth NavPress Publishing Group, 2006 A Great Follow Up Wishing on Dandelions is a great follow up to Watching the Tree Limbs in the Maranatha Series. I'm glad DeMuth let readers see what happens to Maranatha. While this novel contains a love story, it's so natural and sweet that the book doesn't come across like a romance, but more of a journey where readers get to see Maranatha learn to let herself be loved.              search for books 30-something, addiction, covered, dandelions, disease, divorced, emotional, february, grieving, hurting, intuitive, learned, maranatha, millions, misadventures, narcissists, non-smokers, observed, one-way, physical, potatoes, recovery, relationship, sensitivity, smoking, solutions, something, true-life, victims, wellness books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
