World Without End by Ken Follett
I loved PILLARS OF THE EARTH, so my expectations for this follow-up were high. OK, I'm not completely finished, but so far it is just as compelling and satisfying as the earlier tome. There are those exciting, big scenes of death and disaster juxtaposed with honest, emotional sequences, and the pages keep turning. I'm a professional scriptreader and am pretty picky/bookwormy/nerdy about what ...

No Me
My wife was reading this at the same time I was reading Dave Eggers' fantastic novel What is the What. We were supposed to trade when we finished, but she couldn't read this book without wanting to tell me about each chapter. I finally read it a year later and am sorry I spent the previous year with just my wife's summary. Greene is a great writer --she mixes great storytelling with a ...

A lifesaver!
This book sure helped me survive being a parent! It helped so much that the book was written in a way that I could pick it up, read quickly for the few uninterrupted minutes I could actually get, and then put it down. The cartoons were great- there were some that I copied and hung up around the house as reminders to myself, for the habits that I wanted to form. This book especially helped me ...
Creating a World Without Poverty: Social Business and the Future of Capitalism

Muhammad Yunus

, 2008
The most significant book on economics in recent times
Have you ever pondered why the raw capitalism prescribed by Adam Smith that became successful in raising the standard of living at the early stages of its development, lost it's steam after a certain phase? Why it leads to staggering inequality of income, destruction of the environment and social injustice? In this book, Nobel Laureate Dr. Yunus suggests the reason is in the basic flaw in the ...

Excellent . You Need to Know That ---
Jesse was unable to find a major publisher who would publish this book despite his previous 2 best-sellers. The reason should be obvious: the publishing industry (similar to all corporate-controlled media in America) has a political agenda. They either don't want or are not allowed to publicize people who are calling for real change in America. As Jesse points out, the radio and TV talking ...

A very interesting read that will help you better understand our eco-system!
This is a fantastic book with many very interesting real-world examples. After reading this book I feel much more educated about very pertinent topics such as waste management, recycling, the effect of creating nature reserves, urbanization, and much more! Another great thing about this is book is that includes a lot of scientific theory to back up the authors main arguments, but it's written in ...

Changed My Life
This book literally changed and saved my life. I read it in the last hospital I was in being treated for an eating disorder. Never had I read anything I could relate so much too. The way Jenni seperated herself from her eating disorder was a new way that I had never tried and became interested in. After practicing and reading the book several times I became pretty good at seperating myself from ...

Moving and well written.
This memoir is one of the most moving books I have ever read. Meredith Hall's story is an amazing tale of this author's young life that will move you to both tears and laughter. I have recommended it to many of my students (I am a high school english teacher) and none of them have been able to put it down until they were finished!

Highly readable intro to psychopaths by world's leading expert
It is not often that top level scientists can write a popular introduction to the field and successfully combine insights drawn from decades of clinical experience blended with anecdotal mini-histories that make the concepts come alive. The renowned researcher Dr. Robert D. Hare--the creator of the most widely used tests for analyzing psychopathy around the world--has written just such a book. It ...

Insight not Excite
If you are looking for a book to excite you about its ideas or action, this isn't it. But if you want a book that has a quiet melody, that shares insight into characters and into life for a family, I think this is worth your time. I finished the book with tears in my eyes, thinking to relationships with lifelong friends and how careless we become in taking the connections for granted. Liz and ...

Must Read on Perfectionism!!
I first came across Ali Domar's mind/body work through my struggle with infertility. Her book Healing Mind, Healthy Woman: Using the Mind-Body Connection to Manage Stress and Take Control of Your Life has had a huge impact on my life. It just so happens that I am also a perfectionist and find this book to be equally fantastic! Who Should Read This Book If you're a woman, this book is for you. ...

Ronald Heifetz
Harvard University Press
, 1998
Exceptional from start to finish
I read this book in 1994 when it was first published and then again recently. It is excellent and establishes a philosophical approach to leadership that is grounded in problem solving rather than visionary mission. The visionary hero is a threat to democracy as evidenced by such leaders as Adolph Hitler and Napoleon Bonaparte. Ronald Heifetz draws a portrait of the leader that is far different ...

Louis De Bernieres
Vintage

Excellent beyond description!
This novel has devastated me. I spent the last one hundred pages or so sobbing as the tragic lives of De Bernieres' characters began to fade- or abruptly came to an end. Additionally, the novel imparted knowledge of this geographical region unto me which I had not previously acquired and sparked a desire in me to learn more.

Wonderful for kids, spouses and coworkers
My mother-in-law gave me this book when I got married. I was not sure if it was for my husband or because she anticipated children :) I found the concepts in this book worked equally well for the kids, my spouse and my co-workers. I am always using the term "reality disipline".

Bill's methods really work.
I know Bill Fay personally, and I have been with him many times when he was evangelizing. I have personally watched him leading dozens of people to Christ. The material in his book is not oversimplified or rationalized; Bill personally uses the methods he teaches. Everything in his book has been tested and refined in the crucible of experience. I have seen him successfully use the things he ...
