By: Daniel G. Amen M.D.
Publisher: Harmony
February 16, 2010
Like so many people trying to sell you a diet book, Dr Amen tells you it's not your fault. I hate to break the news but it probably is. You probably eat too much and don't get enough exercise. Well if we really ate the right things, it would be a little harder to over eat and science has shown that high intensity interval training enables us to get the benefits of twenty minutes of aerobic exercise... more

| 4. The Checklist Manifesto: How to Get Things Right | 
|
By: Atul Gawande
Publisher: Macmillan Audio
January 05, 2010
Since Malcom Gladwell ignited the pop-science boomlet, many authors have climbed aboard pretending to search for the deep hidden principles in everyday activities.
Atul Gawande is different in a way since he brings actual credentials to a part of his task. He is a surgeon.
But ultimately his 193 page self-described manifesto boils down to three points. First, procedures... more

| 5. Power of Now 2009 Wall Calendar |
|
By: Eckhart Tolle
Publisher: Amber Lotus Publishing
July 10, 2008
I only gave it four stars because it's heavy reliance on acim (a course in miracles) and the wondering style from spirituality to self-help and relationship counselling. Having said this, Tolle is dead on. His style is good and his reading voice is excellent (I of course do not read, but listen :) due to my busy schedule, (this review is of the audio book that Tolle reads). Of course most of the concepts... more

|
By: Neal D. Barnard M.D., M.D., Neal Barnard
Publisher: St. Martin's Press
June 25, 2003
I have been eating vegan since July of 2009. My experience is that I have lost weight, which I had wanted to do, and all my blood counts have shown measurable improvement without the help of medications. In fact I was able to discontinue my cholesterol medication with the o.k. from my physician. I have experienced no loss of energy or the like. If anything I am a bit perkier. So far I would say it... more

| 8. How to Win Friends & Influence People |
|
By: Dale Carnegie
Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio
December 01, 1999
I rarely write reviews. But I felt a need to voice serious and strong objection to many of the stories used in this book, particularly in the Leadership section of the book. Many examples are rife with passive aggressive behavior in which the author suggests readers should prefix what essentially is a command or expectation with flowery praise somewhat related to the coming edict. The result is a passive... more

| 9. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People |
|
By: Stephen R. Covey
Publisher: Covey
October 01, 2001
To be blunt, I struggle with this book. It is written in a convoluted style which tends to either lose or demotivate me--or both. Without question, the process is first rate--seven habits that are proven to make anyone more effective. However, even after reading the book, listening to the tapes, and attending the two-day workshop, I find myself not implementing this process--and I am generally a very... more

| 10. Hypothyroidism Type 2: The Epidemic |
|
By: Mark Starr
Publisher: New Voice Publications
March 04, 2005
I have not read a book by any doctor that covers ALL the therapies for hypothyroidism; in fact, it would be a huge tome if it did, but Mark Starr's book provides a vital piece of the jigsaw of thyroid disease - the numbers of which are growing exponentially in western countries.
There is a great deal of debate over what is the "correct" medical treatment of hypothyroid conditions without... more
