Oz Free Press, 2007 Great collection of information on the aging process Some celebrity once opined that growing old wasn't easy or something to that effect - and, obviously to those of us who are growing old, they were absolutely correct. Growing old just isn't a whole lot of fun. Drs. Roizen and Oz aren't necessarily trying to make the process of aging fun, but they do claim they can slow it down or, more appropriately, help you feel like you're not going ...             The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich659 reviews Timothy Ferriss Crown, 2007 Entertaining, useful & insightful. The irony of writing a book this good is that Tim Ferriss probably has to violate most of the principles set forth in the book to write it and let people know about it. Sometimes not working takes a lot of work. Tim, or "tuna fish" (as his mother called him), is a very engaging, funny and insightful writer. Even if you aren't into his lifestyle approach, he's written an incredibly useful ...             The Final Warning (Maximum Ride, Book 4)76 reviews James Patterson Little, Brown and Company, 2008 Maximum Ride - The Final Warning I love reading James Patterson novels. They are exciting thrillers, adventurous and an amazing new fun book to read.             The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference912 reviews Malcolm Gladwell Back Bay Books, 2002 Page turner Psychological science is a fascinating field and Malcolm Gladwell's follow-up to Blink is proof of that.             Who Moved My Cheese?

Great Book for the people who are simply living life as handed to you.             Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex22 reviews Mary Roach W. W. Norton, 2008 Check out Bonk's Footnotes Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/RO7REQ6YQX9SH We recently had Mary Roach on our radio show and she was a lot of fun. The entire interview was an hour long but there were some short hilarious conversations that I'm sharing here as they demonstrate what a wonderful and funny book this is.             Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders DSM-IV-TR Fourth Edition (Text Revision)99 reviews American Psychiatric Association American Psychiatric Publishing, Inc., 2000 hardback at paperback price I buy a lot of books and wanted this one in hardback. Reference books take a lot of abuse. Brandnew, perfect condition still in wrapper. Cost less than the new paperpack version. Thank YOU!             Go Put Your Strengths to Work: 6 Powerful Steps to Achieve Outstanding Performance47 reviews Marcus Buckingham Free Press, 2007 Used heavily in my organization - with great success!! I was first introduced to Marcus and this book during a development class where I work. At the very least the book should help you re-focus your efforts for a more successful and enjoyable life. Highly recommended!             The E-Myth Revisited: Why Most Small Businesses Don't Work and What to Do About It294 reviews Michael E. Gerber HarperCollins, 1995 Creating the small business you desire This book was highly recommended by my broker, and I wish I had read it years ago. Excellent. Everyone who is thinking about starting a business, is in the beginning stages of owning a business, and even those in business for years could benefit from reading this book. I plan to reread it often.             Change Your Brain, Change Your Life: The Breakthrough Program for Conquering Anxiety, Depression, ...88 reviews Daniel G. Amen Three Rivers Press, 1999 Great book - Insights for everyone! Great book! It was insightful and empowering. Dr. Amen's writing style is easy to follow and his conclusions are supported by numerous case studies. I am recommending this book to everyone, regardless of whether they are in counseling. The ideas and prescriptions presented would be helpful to anyone.             The Anxiety & Phobia Workbook, Fourth Edition98 reviews Edmund J. Bourne New Harbinger Publications, 2005 Amazing book with ideas that worked for me I bought this book after my therapist recommended it. I cannot put into words how much this has helped. The advice is practical and seemed to be written directly for me. I do not have any phobias so I only use about 1/2 the book... but it is still well worth the money.             Your Inner Fish: A Journey into the 3.5-Billion-Year History of the Human Body49 reviews Neil Shubin Pantheon, 2008 What I wish I had learned in high school This book could serve as a great supplement to a high school or even college biology course. Despite the title, it focuses more broadly on comparative anatomy and explains where, how, and why much of our body developed the way it did. While some of the basic points I recalled from my high school biology days, they were never explained to me as clearly as Shubin is able to do. His writing makes ...             The Expectant Father: Facts, Tips and Advice for Dads-to-Be, Second Edition236 reviews Armin A. Brott Abbeville Press, 2001 The Expectant Father I can honestly say that this is the best resource I've read outside my exsisting nursing literature on this subject. It gives you the basic do's and don'ts (many of which are common sense), and it does an over all solid job explaining the stages of labor. I'm not an OB nurse, therefore much of what I read took me back to nursing school and I began remembering old test questions (thank God those ...             The Creative Family: How to Encourage Imagination and Nurture Family Connections20 reviews Amanda Blake Soule Trumpeter, 2008 Very Inspirational I love this book SO much - it's so simple, yet holds a lot of inspiration and joy. As others have said, it goes beyond just crafting, and explores a way of BEing with your kids, appreciating what (and who) you have around you. I am deeply connected with my boys, but I never did a lot of crafty stuff with them; I never believed I was 'talented' enough to do that. I got inspired after reading ...             Real Change: From the World That Fails to the World That Works58 reviews Newt Gingrich Regnery Publishing, 2008 A blueprint for saving America If you are dissatisfied with the politics & management of Corporate America in this country and want to save America from the bumbling, stumbling politicians that are at the public trough, then this is the blueprint for action. The links to web sites are critical to review data that Newt's philosphy is built upon. I believe after reading this book that one can not help from being inspired to take ...             The Daring Book for Girls131 reviews Andrea J. Buchanan, Miriam Peskowitz Collins, 2007 Great gift I purchased this book for my 10 year old granddaughter who lives some distance from me so buying gifts can be challenging. I had the book sent to me to be sure it was appropriate and I was pleased with everything about it. The Daring Book is visually appealing, accessible and full of useful information. It's perfect for the kid with a short attention span or one who can explore a book for ...             Sports Illustrated: Brett Favre: The Tribute (Sports Illustrated)12 reviews Sports Illustrated, 2008 REDNECK QUARTERBACK- THE FUN AND FABULOUS FAVRE An excellent collectors book! A compilation of SI, over the years. If you love Favre as the typical FAN does, why wouldn't you want this book? Excellent photo's, great articles and a nice B&W shot on a solid hard-covered edition. It's a keeper!             Mere Christianity443 reviews C. S. Lewis HarperOne, 2001 I love his views on the potential of individuals I first read CS Lewis as a child by reading his imaginative letters on how to tempt man, `The Screwtape Letters', and then later by reading his wonderful `Chronicles of Narnia' and then the account of his conversion to Christianity, `Surprised by Joy'. I loved his writing style and was impressed with his intellect and decided to read `Mere Christianity' based on the recommendations of several ...             The Clique Summer Collection #1: Massie (Clique Series)7 reviews Poppy, 2008 Courtesy of Teens Read Too In the opening to the THE CLIQUE SUMMER COLLECTION series, Massie is the main character.

Gottman, Nan Silver Three Rivers Press, 1999 A Practical Guide This is a required book for our program and I found it very easy to read and supported my own observations that couples who have the best relationship know the most about each other and keep current with how their partner is doing at all times. This "love map" is very important and why be in relationship if you don't know your partner this well and care about your partner this much.
