books about: thin     books:       The Thin Man52 reviews Dashiell Hammett Vintage, 1989 One of my very favorite books! Boy, these reviews are all over the place, aren't they! Well, they at least give you the plot so I don't have to. Here are some quick comments: There is so much going on in this book that most people miss much of it the first time (as these reviews show), especially if they don't know Hammett's life. As noted, Hammett modeled Nick and Nora on himself and his paramour, budding playwright ...             Into Thin Air: A Personal Account of the Mt. Everest Disaster1492 reviews Jon Krakauer Anchor, 1999 Who's got more credibility? It's interesting to read all of the articles criticizing Jon Krakauer, saying he painted himself in a heroic light, that his book is a giant ego trip, and that Anatoli Boukreev's book is so much more accurate. Many of these so called experts seem to assume that the only way to believe Krakauer, is to NOT read "The Climb". How do any of these reviewers know which account is what really happened? ...             The Beck Diet Solution: Train Your Brain to Think Like a Thin Person7 reviews Judith S. Beck Macmillan Audio, 2007 Good advice, and a good, solid plan. This is the best, most honest advice you'll ever get to help you lose weight. There is no food plan here. She tells you to pick a nutritionally sound diet, as well as a back-up diet, and stick to it. She will help you change your thinking to think more like a thin person with some writing and "thinking" exercises. It's cognitive therapy, and you will learn why you should tolerate some hunger ...             Beck Diet Solution Weight Loss Workbook: The 6-week Plan to Train Your Brain to Think Like a Thin Person19 reviews Judith S. Beck Oxmoor House, 2007 Cognitive Therapy at Work! This workbook is setup differently. She goes into food plan, exercise, and diet coaches in the 1st couple of chapters and then later repeats it on the day that matches the book. I love the additional charts that she gives you and the additional steps. Makes a great workbook for her book. I highly recommend the purchase of both of them.             The Fat Resistance Diet: Unlock the Secret of the Hormone Leptin to: Eliminate Cravings, Supercharge Your ...68 reviews Leo Galland Broadway, 2006 The Fat Resistance Diet When I ordered this book, my hope was that "this time it will work !" As I read through the book, I decided that indeed, it "might work!" As I put the recommendations to work, I found out that it DID work! I have totally changed my eating habits, as recommended, and have found that weight loss started immediately, and has maintained at an even level for four months. The recipes are delicious, ...             Thin Book of Appreciative Inquiry (2nd edition) (Thin Book Series)16 reviews Sue Annis Hammond Thin Book Publishing Company, 1998 Straight to the point I bought this book on a recommendation of a lecturer at a recent conference. He said that this was the first book to buy if one wants to learn about AI. He was right. The author is straight to the point. The material is easy to digest. The examples are applicable. Because of this book, I can immediately put AI to use in developing better teams and groups.             Skinny Bitch782 reviews Kim Barnouin, Rory Freedman Running Press, 2005 Eye Opening This book was not only a funny and informational read, but incredible eye opening. I have been a Vegeterian for a while and this is just the push i need to embark into a vegan lifestyle. I know of so many people that have become vegans from this book alone. They are responsible of saving the lives of hundreds of animals, i have nothing but love and respect for these girls.             Skinny Bitch in the Kitch: Kick-Ass Recipes for Hungry Girls Who Want to Stop Cooking Crap (and Start Looking ...73 reviews Rory Freedman, Kim Barnouin Running Press, 2007 Yummm-O I bought this cookbook after reading the first book "Skinny Bitch." I am in no way a Vegan, nor is my husband. I do however love trying new things. I have cooked many things from this cookbook and everything has been WONDERFUL! The directions are easy to follow and the meals turn out perfectly every time. We eat the Veggie Enchiladas at least once a week! My husband doesn't realize he's not ...             Thin Is the New Happy7 reviews Valerie Frankel St. Martin's Press, 2008 "I was my own worst enemy." Valerie Frankel's "Thin is the New Happy" is a seriocomic look at the author's thirty-year battle with her weight. In sixth grade, she was eleven years old, five feet tall, and tipped the scale at one hundred pounds. This propelled her mother, Judy, to start "Project Daughter Diet," a humiliating and frustrating plan that destroyed Valerie's ability to relax and eat normally. Not only did her ...             The Beck Diet Solution: Train Your Brain to Think Like a Thin Person88 reviews Judith S. Beck Oxmoor House, 2007 One of the best decisions I ever made I'm so glad I got this book. I am actually a therapist, and very familiar with CBT, and the idea of applying it to weight loss makes profound sense. I heard Dr. Beck on NPR, and I was not in the mood to listen to what she had to say, but then it made so much sense, I started to take notes! And even though I didn't feel like making an effort to follow a diet, I got the book anyway. And I liked ...             Thin Air (Weather Warden, Book 6)21 reviews Rachel Caine Roc, 2007 Weather Warden Baldwin is Back on Track This is a much better book than its predecessor! The story moves along at breakneck speed and there are lots of unexpected twists and turns along the way. The memory-aspect of the book is done well, and Rachel Caine's method of revealing bits of Joanne's past by delving memories out of other characters' minds let's us see Joanne Baldwin in a new light, as others in the cast see her. Good ...             The Thin Book of Naming Elephants: How to Surface Undiscussables for Greater Organizational Success9 reviews Sue Annis Hammond, Andrea B. Mayfield Thin Book Publishing Co., 2004 A Striking Case Study on Organizational Culture Anyone who has worked in a corporation knows that an elephant is not just an animal with four legs and a trunk -- an elephant is an issue or problem standing in the middle of the room that everyone knows about but no one is willing to acknowledge or deal with. Elephants are "undiscussables" present in every organization. The size and depth of these "undiscussables" are proportional to the ...             I Can Make You Thin (New Edition - Book & Cd) (Paperback)15 reviews Paul McKenna Bantam Press (17 Dec 2007), 2007 absolutely MARVELOUS!!! I have so much enjoyed this purchase!! It's a great read and quick. It's not like other "diet" books. This IS a true way of living and being at peace with food. It's not the enemy, your own mind is and Paul McKenna's book reveals the way to get past that and become in touch with your body all the while the pounds are shedding!!             Into Thin Air (Signet Eclipse)15 reviews Cindy Miles Signet, 2007 Fun and romantic! Gawan of Conwyck is an honest-to-goodness Guardian Angel. As an Earthbound Angel, he lives basically as a mortal, but with some perks: he can read minds, see ghosts, and influence people's actions (kind of like a Jedi). His responsibility: make sure any and all of his Charges are safe. The catch: neither he nor his charges remember each other when the saving is accomplished. Ellie appear one ...             Hungry: Lessons Learned on the Journey from Fat to Thin22 reviews Allen Zadoff Da Capo Press, 2007 Attention! This Book Could Change Your Life! I really enjoyed this book. In clear, no nonsense language Allen Zadoff managed to convey to the reader the pain of being very over weight with no self pity, no real excuses. He ate too much at one time. Period. Then, somehow after reaching 300+ pounds, he looked inside of himself and accepted a truth. He needed to eat less. So - no more dieting for him. He decided to establish a traffic light of ...             Paper-Thin Alibi: A Craft Corner Mystery3 reviews Mary Ellen Hughes Berkley, 2008 A Marvelous Mystery I loved Mary Ellen Hughes' latest mystery! I love how the characters are so realistic - I really learn to care about them. As I was reading the book, I was reluctant to put it down! I found myself thinking about the next twist in the plot. The humor is laced throughout the story and lightens serious moments at just the right time. I can't wait to see what happens in the next mystery Ms. Hughes ...             The 3-Hour Diet (TM): How Low-Carb Diets Make You Fat and Timing Makes You Thin111 reviews Jorge Cruise Collins Living, 2005 You Got to atleast try it........................... I have read so many reviews on this book. I have to tell you that you just need to give it a chance. I know that everyone out there needs to find a diet that works for them - when you find that diet you will achieve your goals. But don't cut down what many people have found to be a good one. For myself I have tried a lot of diets out there, until I finally realized that it wasn't about the ...             Thin Within: A Grace-oriented Approach to Lasting Weight Loss26 reviews Judy Halliday, Arthur Halliday Thomas Nelson Publishers, 2005 Need to do this again About 5 years ago I followed along with this book and lost about 15 pounds without really dieting. Then I moved overseas, had my 3rd baby, started homeschooling, my husband deployed, and well... the weight has crept back on. I can't find my old copy, so I had to order another. Dieting does not work for me because I have deeper issues, such as turning to food as a source of comfort in times of ...             Complete Novels: Red Harvest, The Dain Curse, The Maltese Falcon, The Glass Key, and The Thin Man (Library of ...21 reviews Dashiell Hammett Library of America, 1999 Very exciting and convenient I do like these stories, though they are so rough! It is very helpful to be able to have them all together in this one good volume, I think. But it is dangerous to read them late at night, because you either get too excited to sleep, or you dream of bad men with their car headlamps switched off in the dark!             How the Rich Get Thin: Park Avenue's Top Diet Doctor Reveals the Secrets to Losing Weight and Feeling Great31 reviews Jana Klauer St. Martin's Press, 2005 How the Rich get thin Excellent & very informative. More than about loosing weight this book provides huge amounts of scientific information regarding food and its effect on the human body (as far as loosing weight & health is concerned). I learned an incredible amount of things that will guide me in what I choose to eat from now on.              search for books account, appreciative, approach, complete, cravings, disaster, edition, elephants, eliminate, everest, grace-oriented, inflammation, inquiry, kick-ass, looking, low-carb, metabolism, organizational, oriented, paper-thin, paperback, personal, reprogram, resistance, reveals, solution, supercharge, undiscussables, weather, workbook books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
