Mike George
Chronicle Books
, 1998
A great starting point
I suffered through most of my twenties with a pretty debilitating anxiety disorder, which unfortunately has recently come back to check up on me. I found Mike George's short-but-to-the-point book helpful in diffusing and alleviating many of the mental circumstances that contribute to anxiety. With short, bite size chapters illustrated with soothing water-colors, LEARN TO RELAX touches on all of ...

A magical journey into a fascinating world
I read this book while I was a Physics student and was immediately captivated by this magical glimpse into the Physics of soap bubbles - an area where even today there remains unsolved mathematical questions. While the likes of quantum mechanics and chaos theory often steal the limelight, I for one find it refreshing to find an equally intriguing subject in something closer to our direct ...

The trouble with stress is that you don't have time to learn coping skills when you are truly stretched beyond your limits. That's why Dr. Wheeler's book can be so helpful.

A thoughtful, no hype, solid content book
I have just finished reading this book and have been rewarded, as a "change" practitioner, this book adds real value in bringing the streams of change together. It is rare when I read a book on the subject and find it rewarding, enhancing what I do at the coal face. No, quick fix recipes but a thoughtful, well constructed set of ideas that do justice to this complex subject. I would reccomend ...

Help for your entire lifelong journey!
I took the course from Bob, the author of Slow Down & Lighten Up, and to say that he has a firm grasp on how to teach others how to deal with life's stress, is an understatement. He is emphathetic to people's problems, but has a strong ability to help you with behavior modifications , instead of the much easier pity-party ways.He will help you to take these new tools and integrate them so that ...

An excellent, informative introduction to acupressure.
Acu-Yoga is a well-written introduction to the use of basic yoga techniques to stimulate acupuncture points throughout the body, acupressure. 13 years ago, I cracked a vertebra and have had chronic low back pain ever since. The spinal flexibility series (among others) in Mr. Reed's book helped me control the pain caused by muscle spasm and return to normal function within a few weeks. Acu-Yoga ...

It even has a great primer on distribution systems from a reliability perspective. The great thing about this book is its ability to bridge the gap between theoretical treatment and practical applications. Although it is full of algorithms and ...

This is the book on massage!
I'm a real beginner when it comes to massage, but this guy explains things so clearly that before long I was learning about how to work the parts that really need to be massaged on a regular basis, and learning how to massage someone else. I also like all the power points included which can help boost your energy, clear fatigue, and help with various ailments. I'm buying copies for all my friends ...

An important contribution to information society studies
When, in 1983, the authors of this erudite volume began to reflect on the concept of the information society, they noted that its `high visibility1 was belied by its `indistinct content as an academic concern1. The concept was to become even more prominent over the next few years, to the extent that it became spoken of as a new paradigm, a new way of interpreting the social world. ...

Beautifuly written essays, stories, and excerpts from books make Surface Tension a good book to read. I found it moving, thought provoking, and fullfilling. I was not disappointed. All the authors had very different ways at looking at the same thing. One essay (The FeMale ...

A Long-Lost treasure
I first found this book in a Silicon Valley library 20 years ago and it made such an impact with me I, er, forgot to return it. I was so depressed when I lost it that I could not believe my forturne in finding it again in a Seattle book store. Practice his 10 or so positions every day and you will live to be 100.

This book is a life changer
This is a new experience in reading--and potentially a life changer for you as it was for me. Not strictly on an emotional level, but on an intellectual and spiritual level, too. Heath Hardesty has wrestled with so many of the different Christian paradoxes--God's justice and God's mercy....God's sovereignty and our free will/moral responsibility....how God is both our intimate friend as ...
