(A great theory but ridiculous in practice)
『This book is like so many other relationship books. The theory is great, but it is impossible to practice, especially if both parties aren't involved. For example after I read this book I thought I knew what my husband's love language was and tried to implement it. Unfortunately, I didn't communicate clearly to him or ask him if my assumptions were correct. I ended up doing more harm than good and we are now split. I think the message should be a lot clearer and it should be noted that just because the book leads you down one path doesn't mean it's the right one for your partner. It might have been more productive if I had shared what I was doing with my husband but we were having difficulty communicating and I should have corrected that first. This book led me to believe that if I just did what he said, everything would be great. Unfortunately that was not the case. In addition, I was somewhat put off by the author's interpretation of Christianity. It doesn't jive with my idea of what Christianity is, in fact it seems somewhat sexist.』

(Little to offer)
『It is quite disturbing, if not insulting, to read this book and note the level of intellect it addresses. It is juvenile and silly. It is written for the clueless, that is, people who don't think. Furthermore, it's written by such a limited mind that Chapman's taking the name "Dr." is truly laughable.

Take for example, Chapman's names for "the two main personality types" that date and marry: Dead Sea falls for Bubbling Brook and vice versa. Yes, that's right. Bear with me. Dead Sea just takes and does not give thereby giving the impression that he is eating up every word she says, like, he's listening, right? Bubbling Brook, on the other hand, keeps the conversation rolling along, giving the impression that she's entirely satisfied with being the one doing all the work and making connection. Hey, she doesn't mind; she doesn't know how to shut her mouth anyway. Each thinks the other is wonderful because the other's style deludes them into believing they are loved. But a year or two later of this kind of togetherness and would you believe disappointment sets in? Really? You're crushed?? You thought this kind of love was what you wanted, didn't you. Well, "Dr." Chapman is here to tell you that you have been bamboozled. I'm paraphrasing this cogent concept far, far beyond the silly sentences that will have you rolling your eyes while reading this printed so-called book replete with biblical footnotes.

And, can you guess what happens next: You can't? Well, let "Dr."Chapman explain it because you can't think for yourself, can you? No, according to Dr. Chapman. No one in my life talked like this since I was four years old in Sunday School, long before I grew up and developed a brain, critical thought, and an adult knowledge of the complexities of human nature.

But, back to Dead Sea and Bubbling Brook, who by the way are, by Chapman's account, all the couples supposedly sitting and laughing at his seminars, feeling completely nailed by his remarkably "funny" jokes about them, bringing about miracles in their lives by giving them five categories to wake them up and bring happiness. The five categories are so amazing that, well, you just have read them to believe them!

Many truly helpful levels of insight are never explored with the reader - only how to fill up your spouse's "Love Tank." There is no expectation that the reader is intelligent. I sincerely hope that we are not turning out classrooms of graduates that need this type of flashcard book or seminar. That would truly be a tragedy for the future of this country's intellect. Also, check the credentials of your leaders. Otherwise you might find yourself stuck in a book or a seminar with someone who knows far less than you already know and offers nothing helpful whatsoever.

Finally, I am aware this review has a sarcastic tone. However, it simply distresses me terribly how our culture is declining to this degree of so-called professional help.』

(Great)
『Wonderful book with wonderful ideas and thoughts. Great insight. Good for couples of any ages. Really makes you think and ask the right questions of yourself and your partner... Wish I had heard of this 38 years ago when I got married! I recommend this book most definitely. It will give a gift to your relationship!!』

(Better late than never...)
『A friend recommended this book to me while we were discussing books in general.

I bought a copy from Amazon, on spec, and found it well worth the cover price.

Gary Chapman's analysis and view of love languages is really all about how people, couples in particular, communicate in their daily lives.

The basis of the text is that if people learn to communicate with each other, using the correct languages, then many of the large, and small, points of conflict will disappear.

I wish I'd heard of it sooner; in fact I wish I'd seen it years before it was even published!

I thoroughly recommend this to any couples who are just starting out on a long term relationship (I'm just about to order a copy to give to my daughter) and to those whose relationship has survived for a long time (whether or not they are having trouble).

Well worth a read...』

(Definitely worth the money!)
『This book is great for helping understand why you get unexpected reactions from your spouse...cause most of us speak different love languages! I purchased the book for use on a long drive we were making together and it was definitely worth it...he never would have gotten around to reading the paper version but he was a 'captive' audience in the car! And it gave us time to talk about what we'd heard. Our relationship is definitely better for the purchase!』

』
『Unhappiness in marriage often has a simple root cause: we speak different love languages, believes Dr. Gary Chapman. While working as a marriage counselor for more than 30 years, he identified five love languages: Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Receiving Gifts, Acts of Service, and Physical Touch. In a friendly, often humorous style, he unpacks each one. Some husbands or wives may crave focused attention; another needs regular praise. Gifts are highly important to one spouse, while another sees fixing a leaky faucet, ironing a shirt, or cooking a meal as filling their "love tank." Some partners might find physical touch makes them feel valued: holding hands, giving back rubs, and sexual contact. Chapman illustrates each love language with real-life examples from his counseling practice.

How do you discover your spouse’s – and your own – love language? Chapman’s short questionnaires are one of several ways to find out. Throughout the book, he also includes application questions that can be answered more extensively in the beautifully detailed companion leather journal (an exclusive Amazon.com set). Each section of the journal corresponds with a chapter from the book, offering opportunities for deeper reflection on your marriage.

Although some readers may find choosing to love a spouse that they no longer even like–hoping the feelings of affection will follow later– a difficult concept to swallow, Chapman promises that the results will be worth the effort. "Love is a choice," says Chapman. "And either partner can start the process today." --Cindy Crosby. This text refers to the Amazon.com Exclusive Journal&Paperback Book Set.』

(A feisty feline that can teach us all something about life and death)
『Death is one of those taboo subjects in the United States that we try to avoid. We are a society that will oftentimes take extreme measures to prolong youth and avoid the natural process that leads us toward the end of life. This book is one that will bring death into clearer focus for the reader. I don't mean in a macabre way that focuses heavily on the process of dying, but one that focuses on the passage from a life of suffering to a new place of being free.

I was deeply touched to read both Dr. Dosa's own personal story and the story that he shared about Oscar, his feline protégé. This is a book that is about Dr. Dosa as much as it is about Oscar the cat. Throughout the pages a mutual and trusting relationship is built between man and creature and a level of trust and seniority is awarded to a feline who has developed a certain intuition for knowing when a person isgoing to make the passage from this life to the next. The story is told in a profoundly personal and very touching way. The author digs deeply in writing this book about Oscar and we learn about his own vocation to serve one of the most difficult populations - those battling dementia in the finalstages of their lives. They have become adult children. We also get to know more about Dr. Dosa as he shares his own chronic health issues and reflects on what his life may hold in the future. Still, he shares his "rounds" with Oscar the cat. The story is sweet, compassionate, heartwarming and nothing short of amazing.

Never underestimate the powers of a feisty feline. I absolutely love this book and even joined Oscar's Facebook page!

5 stars!
』

(Coping with End of Life)
『If you have ever placed a loved one in a nursing home, you know what a wrenching decision that is. Each visit is filled with guilt, anxiety and frustration and yet you know this is the best solution, given the circumstances. You will recognize the residents and family in this heartwarming story of a very special feline. As I approach the one year anniversary of my mother's passing, this book was just what I needed to reflect, remember and find comfort that others shared so many of my thoughts and emotions.』

(A sweet story of an amazing cat)
『Dr. David Dosa is a geriatrician in a family of pediatricians. He writes that he chose this field because of the rich tapestry of stories his patients have lived. Dr. Dosa works at a nursing home in Rhode Island that cares for patients with dementia. A few years ago, a cat who lived at the facility (and the author describes several cats who live and work there) started showing remarkable behavior. Oscar was a relatively aloof cat who didn't want to spend much time with people, although he didn't mind if a staffer gave him a few scraches under the chin. However, when he sensed a patient was hours from death, he would go to that person's room, jump onto the bed, curl up beside the patient in question and wait. Often, he would not move until the funeral home showed up to remove the deceased.

After the doctor learns of the cat's extraordinary behavior, he begins talking to the families of patients who had died with Oscar by his side. He had hoped to try to understand the cat's unusual behavoir but felt he was learning more about dementia and what it does to the patients and their families. He notes that Oscar's presence at the end comforts the families of the ill and maybe even the patients themslves

He does point out at the end that one World War II medic he talked to could tell whether someone was going to live or die by a person's smell and theorizes that Oscar may be able to tell that the sweet smell and be drawn to it. But he still isn't sure what draws Oscar to the dying patients. But does it matter. Animals do amazing things that we can appreciate, even if we don't understand it.

This is less a memoir--after all, due to confidentiality issues, the author had to change names and details and make composites of patients. But it does detail what happens to dementia patients from a doctor's point of view and how they try to care for patients whose memories are slipping.

If you were interested by the news story that appeared a few years ago about this extraordinary cat, you will likely enjoy the book.』

(RICK "SHAQ" GOLDSTEIN SAYS: "THE EXPRESSION "A SHADOW OF THEIR FORMER SELF" WAS NO LONGER A CLICHÉ!")
『If a couple of decades ago I had made the statement that my life via family members had been touched on numerous occasions by Alzheimer's/dementia I would have been looked at very strangely. Sadly... if someone made that statement today... hopefully... other than true human compassion... there wouldn't even be a sideways glance. "TODAY THERE ARE OVER FIVE-MILLION PEOPLE IN THE UNITED STATES WITH ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE AND HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS MORE WITH OTHER LESS COMMON FORMS OF DEMENTIA. WITHOUT NEW TREATMENTS, ESTIMATES SUGGEST THAT THIS NUMBER IS LIKELY TO SKYROCKET AS OUR POPULATION CONTINUES TO AGE."

Despite the staggering number of "eroding" minds... body... and souls... there is so little known... and so much to learn about this heartbreaking disease... that literally changes the lives of entire families... AND health care providers... with the unrelenting power of a tsunami. The author Doctor David Dosa is a geriatrician at the Steere House Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Providence, Rhode Island. The heart wrenching story he tells here is also an educational journey for all involved. The recipients of the mental and emotional knowledge imparted here are current and future patients... their families... Dr. Dosa and his staff... and all such medical professionals that make the smart decision and open their mind and hearts to the stories in this book. The title character is Oscar the cat... though an important figure... what with his mystical power to "know" which patient was going to die shortly... and thus stand guard in an unrelenting vigil... which soothed patients... family... and medical staff... in ways no one could fully explain... yet... despite this "gift"... Oscar is not really the ultimate reward to readers of this book.

Doctor Dosa was admittedly not a "cat-person" and he didn't believe in Oscar's medically-psychic-endowment. Dosa's desire to talk to the family members of his deceased patients after the fact to get their perception of Oscar's effect led to a much wider discussion into all the sad and awful "ripple-effects" of Alzheimer's. Discussed intimately was the pre-diagnosis averting of facing the truth by loving family members. How they ignored the tell tale signs of this insidious disease. Then the painful realization that there would be years of visiting without being recognized... but yet their visits were critical. Tearfully enlightening is the views from all sides (patient/family/doctor) as to what treatments should be continued... where they should or shouldn't be done... and when they should be stopped. The personal sharing of a child's anguished summary of their parent's deterioration could be described as poetry... yet it's so sad there must be a better word... "EVERY DAY I MISS THE MOTHER I HAD SIXTEEN YEARS AGO, BUT NOT THE PERSON SHE BECAME. IT WAS LIKE WATCHING A KID, BUT HAVING THEM UNLEARN EVERYTHING THEY KNEW." And another family said... "IT MUST BE LIKE WATCHING A FILM OF A PERSON'S LIFE RUN BACKWARD, I THOUGHT, EXCEPT THE PERSON DOESN'T GET ANY YOUNGER."

The author explains his own angst in dealing with this unique morose disease: "IN CASES WHERE THE PATIENT HAS A TERMINAL ILLNESS SUCH AS CANCER, COMFORT-CARE DISCUSSIONS ARE RELATIVELY CONCRETE... "ALTHOUGH DISEASES SUCH AS ALZHEIMER'S ARE ALSO CONSIDERED TERMINAL, THEY MANIFEST THEMSELVES MUCH MORE SLOWLY. LIKE EROSION THAT CHANGES THE LANDSCAPE OF A BEACH, THE EFFECTS OF THESE DISEASES ARE MEASURED OVER MONTHS AND YEARS RATHER THAN DAYS." "CARE PROVIDERS AND FAMILIES ARE FORCED TO GRAPPLE WITH DECISIONS LIKE WITHHOLDING ANTIBIOTICS FOR A POTENTIALLY CURABLE PNEUMONIA OR DECIDING WHEN IT'S NO LONGER APPROPRIATE TO CONDUCT FURTHER DIAGNOSTIC TESTING FOR AN EVERYDAY CONDITION LIKE ANEMIA OR WEIGHT LOSS."

The greatest strength of this book is that even the doctor understands that medical definitions and multi-syllabic words are not what's important. It's the true humanity of all involved and there needs to be so much more education and guidance from the very first signs of this horrendous dignity destroying disease... and this book is an excellent starting place for everyone.
』

(A good read, but not really about Oscar the cat)
『I ordered his book having heard about Oscar and thought this book would be a very touching read about the cat of Steere House that instinctively knows when a resident is about to pass away. The cat does have a role in this book and is a major player but the book really isn't about Oscar so much as it is about the doctor himself, his relationships with others and the Alzheimer's patients for whom he cares.

The author, Dr. Dosa, oversees patient care at Steere House, a nursing home for patients with dementia (which includes Alzheimer's disease). Steere House is also home to several cats, of interest among them being Oscar who has an uncanny knack of knowing when a patient's life is about to end. When Oscar senses such, he finds his way in the patient's room and curls up on the bed until he or she passes away. Dr. Dosa sets out to find out more about this cat.

He introduces a good number of people in this book, patient and staff alike as well as former patients' relatives and former staff members. Each one is tied to Oscar in some way, but through the conversations that ensue relationships are introduced or built and the devastating effects for dementia are explored and explained. The reader gets to know the characters sufficiently to gain an attachment to them also gains a better understanding of dementia - and Alzheimer's disease in particular.

This is a well-written and interesting book, filled with touching stories about people learning to let go of people and of a doctor that tries his best to understand and comfort them. All of them are touched by a special cat that instinctively knows when to be there when he is needed most.』
『

A remarkable cat. A special gift. A life-changing journey.

They thought he was just a cat.

When Oscar arrived at the Steere House Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Rhode Island he was a cute little guy with attitude. He loved to stretch out in a puddle of sunlight and chase his tail until he was dizzy. Occasionally he consented to a scratch behind the ears, but only when it suited him. In other words, he was a typical cat. Or so it seemed. It wasn't long before Oscar had created something of a stir.

Apparently, this ordinary cat possesses an extraordinary gift: he knows instinctively when the end of life is near.

Oscar is a welcome distraction for the residents of Steere House, many of whom are living with Alzheimer's. But he never spends much time with them--until they are in their last hours. Then, as if this were his job, Oscar strides purposely into a patient's room, curls up on the bed, and begins his vigil. Oscar provides comfort and companionship when people need him most. And his presence lets caregivers and loved ones know that it's time to say good-bye.

Oscar's gift is a tender mercy. He teaches by example: embracing moments of life that so many of us shy away from.

Making Rounds with Oscaris the story of an unusual cat, the patients he serves, their caregivers, and of one doctor who learned how to listen. Heartfelt, inspiring, and full of humor and pathos, this book allows readers to take a walk into a world rarely seen from the outside, a world we often misunderstand.

(life saving info!)
『This really opened my eyes with eating animals! I love all animals, but I also love meat..I've always struggled with the thought of the torture animals have to go through just so we can eat...I use to do the low carb diet..It made me very sick...I had headaches so bad I went to the e.r. room...also had so many intestinal problems to go with it...not good....all the info from this book really was very informative. I'm going to pay more attention to what I eat from now on. Thank you Dr!』

(Powerfully Persuasive)
『Let's be honest: Dr. Colin Campbell is not a great writer. His book is sprawling with ideas and information, and a good professional editor would have toned down his rhetoric, made simple and concise his language, and structured and organized the chapters more effectively. One metaphor that he used -- the spread of cancer as though it were infesting a lawn -- I strenuously objected to, and would have instead explained cancer in this manner: a body is a complex nation where, because of bad policies and bad government, a general level of disaffectation arises to the level that certain organs declare open rebellion against the kingdom. And some readers will find it dissatisfying and bewildering how Dr. Campbell violently jumps from one topic to the next. There is no denying that Dr. Campbell is not a good writer, but there's also no denying that Dr. Campbell is a great scientist.

Having achieved a formidable amount of success and fame and wealth Dr. Campbell, at age 70 when he wrote this book, has decided, because it's the right and necessary thing for him to do as a doctor, to challenge the profession, the industry, and the society that has conferred such success, fame, and wealth on him. Powerfully persuasive and relentlessly committed, Dr. Campbell explains why a plant-based diet is far more nutritious than an animal-based diet. In fact, an animal-based diet is, according to Dr. Campbell, the main reason why obesity and cancer are so prevalent and pervasive in North America. Baseball is quintessentially American and so is apple pie and so is heart disease, writes Dr. Campbell in anger and frustration.

The evidence is overwhelming: vegetarians live a healthier, happier, and longer life than non-vegetarians. In fact, Dr. Campbell himslf converted from a good farm-boy who drank two quarts of milk a day to a staunch vegetarian who raised his boys as vegetarians. He cites the example of the Phillipines where the affluent are ironically unhealthier than the poor because they consume so much protein. Then there is the massive China study where Dr. Campbell and his research team discovered that Chinese consume more calories but are much thinner than Americans. Chinese are much more likely to die from diseases of poverty (for example, tuberculosis), but Americans are much more likely to die from diseases of affluence (for example, heart disease).

But despite the overwhelming evidence -- in fact, as Dr. Campbell asserts quite convincingly, a lot of this is obvious, common sense, and have been known in Western culture at least since Socrates -- Americans are still choosing to live unhealthy lives. There's that macho culture that insists that eating meat is manly, but there's also a silent conspiracy among healthcare practitioners, the United States government (especially those in charge of food and nutrition), and the food industry to keep Americans eating meat and drinking milk, no matter what the long-term individual and social costs are. In fact, Dr. Campbell even gives examples of researchers and doctors who are paid to spy on and sabotage unfavorable (in other words, objective and unbiased) nutrition research. Then there are those doctors who have been black-listed because they dared speak the truth.

"The China Study" is a powerfully persuasive book that should be mandatory reading in schools all around the world.

(Information that could save your life, or that of a loved one.)
『I have spent the past seven years reading every nutrition-based book I could get my hands on and this is by far one of the top three most informative, life-changing books I've read to date. I only wish I would have known this information before I watched my sister die a brutal death from a Diabetes-related ER visit. Why this book is not part of every medical and nutrition-based degree program is beyond me. It is clear we need to radically overhaul our American healthcare and medical system for many of the reasons discussed in this book. Not only should you buy the book, but you should have your loved ones read it as well.』

(Excellent)
『This is an excellent book and would recommend it to everyone that is interested in maintaining a healthy body.』

(Best Preventive Medical Book)
『I am a physician. This is the best medical textbook on preventive medicine I have ever read! It is extremely well documented and
referenced for those who want to see the evidence.』
『
Referred to as the "Grand Prix of epidemiology" byThe New York Times, this study examines more than 350 variables of health and nutrition with surveys from 6,500 adults in more than 2,500 counties across China and Taiwan, and conclusively demonstrates the link between nutrition and heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. While revealing that proper nutrition can have a dramatic effect on reducing and reversing these ailments as well as curbing obesity, this text calls into question the practices of many of the current dietary programs, such as the Atkins diet, that are widely popular in the West. The politics of nutrition and the impact of special interest groups in the creation and dissemination of public information are also discussed.

(WOW!)
『This is an outstanding book with interesting ideas. There is full documentation for ideas. It will make you think about some practices.』

(Good overview, thought provoking!)
『I've recommended this to all my friends with kids. I think it's great that the authors don't seem to push a particular 'style' of parenting, they simply focus on the scientific research. That makes this book accessible and meaningful for parents of every type. The chapters on race, lying, and teens were especially informative and thought-provoking for me.』

(This is a great book)
『It reinforced some of my own ideas, such as kids needing way more sleep than most of them get. But then the chapter on children and race was so surprising and eye-opening. I'd never read any of those studies before and I think that is the most critical section in the book. Parents and teachers need to read it. Wish I had read it when my children were younger. But I did read a lot of parts out loud to my teenage children and we discussed them. So I hope they still benefit from what I learned in this book!』

(Interesting Information, But Presentation Not the Best)
『This book by Bronson and Merryman discusses some of the new research based thinking on children and even young adults. There is quite a bit of interesting information presented, but better presentation/layout would have made the book more effective, if you ask me. It give it 5 stars for content and 3 at best for presentation for an average of about 4.

Many major topics are covered such as the INVERSE power of praise, how lowering average sleep time is REALLY a problem, race relations (and how integration in school may INCREASE segregation into racial groups), kids and lying, the errors in trying to evaluate giftedness too early, sibling rivalry, teens and arguing, self control/focus, educational TV and aggression, developing language skills early and even something on gratitude in the conclusions. Much new research turns previous thinking on its ear. Some of the results are very surprising, but maybe not if you really think about them for a while.

One point the authors make is that maybe we have been wrong about children, because we start with the assumption that they are really the same as adults, when studies indicate that their brains are different and hence so is their behavior at times - and not just a little different.

I have recommended the book to several friends with children on the way, with children of different ages, and even to some with grown children who seem to wonder why bringing their kids up was so hard. I think even people who never had/have children could really get something out of the book.

The real drawback of the book is that it is not that well presented. Message to authors and book editors: with non-fiction, it is usually more effective to have many subheading in a book covering many topics/subtopics so that readers can easily follow you. Numbering points sometimes helps as well.

I also found the book was best near the start and near the end. In the middle it was kind of harder to get through for some reason - maybe it was just me.

But, don't let presentation issues put you off. They weren't that bad, and the book makes a lot of interesting points. Recommended.

(an interesting read)
『This is definitely an interesting read primarily because it challenges some of the assumptions made by parents regarding effective child rearing. As an educator and a parent, I found much of the information presented in the book to be "common sense". Good educators know that excessive praise is not only useless but can be harmful. They know that you praise effort not innate ability. Of course there are many educators and even more parents who do not understand this basic idea. Praising smarts or any characteristic (hair, eye color) that the child does not control is wrong! As an educator, I see the harm that helicopter parents inflict daily. I see the "output" of the children that are told they are smart and I see how they react to challenges. Trust me - they don't handle challenges very well. They are so afraid of not appearing smart that they simply can't take an intellectual risk. Or, they are so used to having an adult step in and "fix" everything for them that they can't solve the most basic social conflicts that occur on the playground. Parents and educators need to recognize that truly bright children are smart enough to know when they actually do a "good job" and they are aware it is not happening a dozen times each day. I think "good job" should be reserved for times when a child really does "lay it all on the line" and does his/her best. It looses meaning when a child hears it every time he/she empties a bucket of sand or eats a carrot stick.

Children need to be kids - they need to take risks, fail, get up - dust themselves off (notice I said dust themselves off - not have parents do it for them) and try again. It is really the way learning occurs and let's face it - a real life skill. Parents and educators should focus more on resilience than perfection... the latter simply doesn't exist.

I recommend this book because I think the authors have presented some thought provoking chapters even if many are obvious - (kids need quality sleep and plenty of it - I thought everyone knew that!) I can only hope that we all take a close look at our interactions with children - and reform just a little.... for the sake of the kids』
『In a world of modern, involved, caring parents, why are so many kids aggressive and cruel?  Where is intelligence hidden in the brain, and why does that matter?  Why do cross-racial friendships decrease in schools that are more integrated?  If 98% of kids think lying is morally wrong, then why do 98% of kids lie?  What's the single most important thing that helps infants learn language?
 NurtureShockis a groundbreaking collaboration between award-winning science journalistsPo Bronsonand Ashley Merryman.  They argue that when it comes to children, we've mistaken good intentions for good ideas.  With impeccable storytelling and razor-sharp analysis, they demonstrate that many of modern society's strategies for nurturing children are in fact backfiring--because key twists in the science have beenoverlooked.
  Nothing like a parenting manual, the authors' work is an insightful exploration of themes and issues that transcend children's (and adults') lives.』

(Loved this tape collection)
『Dale Carnegie says it best! I loved sitting with my boys and listening to these tapes together. This is a wonderful teaching tool on how to keep basic "friend" skills and teaching our children the right way to listen and care about others. This would be great if teachers could implement these tapes in their classes. You learn how to get what you need from people while maintaining a "manager" status...great for the work environment, home, and church. It also teaches that caring more about others gets us what we want! I loved this so much, that I am playing these tapes when I have friends over for coffee. They are really enjoying these as we walk through life together learning how to be better women!

Thanks,

(Good book)
『Good tips need to reread it so that you keep the ideas in your mind to continue to get the results you desire.』

(A Guide on How to be Influential)
『I know its late to rate the book but this book is must read. You cant find real stories like before as Internet connect us today. Read 5 pages per day and just think about it and apply it to your life.』

(Wasn't worth the pages it was written on.)
『I read it a few times when i was a teenager and there was nothing helpful in there. I'm just thankful someone else bought it for me&i didn't waste money on a book that tells basic stuff we all already know.』

(A must business book for your collection!)
『My disclaimer: As with any opinion, it is only my opinion! And everyone's will vary depending on who reads the book and what the reader is looking for. I look for ways to improve businesses, sales, and my life.

On a 1 to 5 scale, 5 being the best:

Readability 5: I read this book some time ago, when I was on the retail selling floor. It was very easy to understand and read. No rocket science.

Information and new ideas 5: I was fortunate enough to come up with an original copy. A customer loaned it to me and I now have a new copy. The ideas from long ago still apply and the information was very helpful.

Applicable Ideas 5: There were ideas that I took to the selling floor and as well as the training forum. Plenty of excellent ideas.

Value 5: Quite frankly, this has been the best book that I have ever read about business with ideas for use in my work. It's paid for itself over and over.

Overall Score 5: Buy the book and maybe even take a Dale Carnegie class. I've attended those as well and they are also worth every penny.

Where ever you are Dale, thank you!

You can go after the job you want...and get it! You can take the job you have...and improve it! You can take any situation you're in...and make it work for you!

Simon&Schuster Audio is proud to present one of the best-selling books of all time, Dale Carnegie's perennial classicHow to Win Friends and Influence People-- presented here in its entirety on 8 cassettes.

For over 60 years the rock-solid, time-tested advice in this audiobook has carried thousands of now-famous people up the ladder of success in their business and personal lives.

With this truly phenomenal audiobook, learn:

  • The six ways to make people like you
  • The twelve ways to win people to your way of thinking
  • The nine ways to change people without arousing resentment

    And much, much more!

    There is room at the top, when you know...How to Win Rriends and Influence People』
    『This grandfather of all people-skills books was first published in 1937. It was an overnight hit, eventually selling 15 million copies.How to Win Friends and Influence Peopleis just as useful today as it was when it was first published, because Dale Carnegie had an understanding of human nature that will never be outdated. Financial success, Carnegie believed, is due 15 percent to professional knowledge and 85 percent to "the ability to express ideas, to assume leadership, and to arouse enthusiasm among people." He teaches these skills through underlying principles of dealing with people so that they feel important and appreciated. He also emphasizes fundamental techniques for handling people without making them feel manipulated. Carnegie says you can make someone want to do what you want them to by seeing the situation from the other person's point of view and "arousing in the other person an eager want." You learn how to make people like you, win people over to your way of thinking, and change people without causing offense or arousing resentment. For instance, "let the other person feel that the idea is his or hers," and "talk about your own mistakes before criticizing the other person." Carnegie illustrates his points with anecdotes of historical figures, leaders of the business world, and everyday folks.--Joan Price』

    (Worthwhile book for new parents)
    『This book is easy to read and well organized. I can't say that the solutions are always that effective but it's still an interesting read.』

    (The Parenting Encyclopedia is HERE!)
    『For over ten years I have had the pleasure of referring the families in our pediatric practice to Michele Borba's books. Michele is the foremost educator in the US. She is an avid researcher and consummate author. Sorting through difficult real-life challenges, Michele provides parents with solutions you can use on a moment's notice. Michele's solutions are practical, thoughtful and actionable.

    Need to know how to calm anxious children, protect your children from bullying, raise moral kids and more... This is the book you keep on your kitchen counter and refer back to day after day!

    This is The Parenting Encyclopedia, a must-have for every parent!』

    (Good Parenting Book!)
    『Michele Borba's Parenting Solutions book is one of the good parenting books that offers solutions for everyday parenting struggles.It gives scenarios, suggestions, examples, research studies and models how to tackle challenges in bringing up kids ages 3-13 yrs. It is written in a very simple language and the book has been divided into various topics for easy reference. Although the book looks big, it has been very well-organized with subheadings, bullets and it also has helpful advice and parents answer section. This book has signs and symptoms which you can read and watch for in your kids. I especially liked sections like behavior, character, emotions and school. I have followed few of the suggestions and ideas offered in this book and it has really worked very well.』

    (Very Comprehensive)
    『My goodness, what a sizable tome this is!

    My child is a baby, but I still decided to get this book and start reading through some parts to polish my parenting skills. I want to be armed with the wisdom to spot and cope with various issues that will inevitably arise as my child develops. It's not my intent to become an overbearing parent that smothers their child in cotton wool and defends them from every danger and this book takes a similar line, acting more as a coach to help the parent understand the pressures and desires that their child may be influenced by and how to tactfully and strategically deal with the situation.

    I recommend that you have a look at the Table of Contents, using the "Look Inside" feature. There is a comprehensive list of subjects that are dealt with in this book and it will give you some idea of its broad scope.

    This book will definitely see a lot of use as my child grows and it will be a companion through those times of difficulty, helping me to understand my child better and for me to become a wiser parent. Parenting is really all about experience and I feel that this book will help me gain that experience much faster and maybe even help me to avoid making mistakes too!』

    (A Practical and Comprehensive Parenting Guide)
    『This massive volume is packed with guidance on handling children from adolescence to teen age years. Filed with countless examples and straightforward tactics, there is no doubt if seeking to be a more effective parent you will find what you are searching for.

    The only area I would have liked to have seen is a little focus on dealing with toddlers and the stresses of the terrible twos; however, in all other aspects this book is spot on. Borba is a clear and direct writer and constantly offers many logical and practical approaches making this book well worth its price.

    (Great Book!)
    『I thoroughly enjoyed this book! I gave me a lot of insight into topics that I never even thought about. It was a great and fast reed but always kept me wanting to turn the next page (for the most).』

    (Freakonomics)
    『Great book at a great price with a speedy delivery. Amazon is the best.』

    (Quick read)
    『Pretty interesting book. I enjoyed the way the subject matter was presented i.e why do gang members live with their mothers etc. Some of the stats you might already know, but it doesn't detract from the book. I would recommend the book if you are in the mood for something a little different.』

    (Not like any other economic book)
    『The positive was that this book was an easy read. However, the content was somewhat ridiculous and was really not that stimulating. I was disappointed.』

    (Wasn't what I thought)
    『It wasn't the best read that I thought it was going to be. It's not my typical reading choice, but I thought I'd give it a try. Would probably interest someone more if they actually enjoyed economics!』

    (The cute-ification of the writing upstages the value of the book)
    『Pregnancy is an exciting time and it's good to have fun with it, but the 4th edition takes the most simple descriptions and turns them into terms 15 year olds use. Sperm is routinely referred to as "the guys", and the following is taken from page 8, "Knowing when the Big O (ovulation) occurs is key when doing the Baby Dance (aka trying to conceive). Here are a few ways to help you pin down the big day--and pin each other down for baby-making activities."
    I will only use this until my new pregnancy book arrives at which point this is going to a book drive.』

    (Prego&Loving It)
    『I Love this book. There are some parts I found funny to read. Usually other peoples experiences.』

    (Great Resource)
    『I am finding this book very helpful during my pregnancy - it answers a lot of my questions!』

    (GREAT REFERENCE GUIDE!)
    『I was able to reference this book throughout my entire pregnancy and after. Being that it was my first pregnancy I had tons of questions and tons of worries. This book addressed ALL of them. Oftentimes it amazed me how on point it was when it came to describing how I would be feeling at any given time during the pregnancy. This book is a must have for all first time preggers!』

    (Sears is better)
    『The Sears series of baby books are far more informative&respectful of children. I did not benefit from the "What to expect..." series when I was pregnant&raising children.』

    An Essay from Heidi Murkoff
    What to Expectstarted with information--or, actually, lack of information. In fact, when I found out I was expecting for the first time--I didn't have the slightest idea of what to expect. And back then, it wasn't as easy to find out what to expect as you'd think. I createdWhat to Expect When You're Expectingbecause I couldn't find the answers to my questions or the reassurance for my worries that I was searching for in the pregnancy books I read (and believe me, I read plenty). I was a mom on a mission--a mission to help other moms and dads worry less and enjoy their pregnancies (and their babies, and their toddlers) more. And I've been on that mission ever since.

    So what sent me back to recreateWhat to Expect--for a fourth time? Today, there's definitely no lack of information on pregnancy. In fact there's more information than ever before (a quick online search of pregnancy or a glance at pages and pages of pregnancy and parenting options right here on Amazon will clue you in on that). But often what's still hard to find is the right kind of information. Information that's accurate yet empathetic, reassuring yet realistic--that empowers you, but doesn't overwhelm or confuse you, that guides you but doesn't dictate to you. And it's not just about the right information, it's about information that's presented in the way that's most helpful--easy to access, easy to digest, easy to use. It's about information that makes your pregnant life less stressful--more enjoyable, and, well, easier.

    The fourth edition is a newWhat To Expectfor a new generation of readers--you!--and I'm excited to say it's the bestWhat To Expectyet. It's packed with all new information, of course (since things tend to change quickly in the baby-making and baby-delivering business--something you're probably all too aware of already if you've made more than one trip to the birthing room). But it doesn't only take into account what's new in obstetrics and what's new in pregnancy; it takes into account what's relevant to pregnant women now. Lifestyle. Working. Eating on the run. Juggling the pregnant life with real life. Keeping up with relationships. Birthing options that are family friendly and pregnancy care that incorporates the best that complimentary and alternative medicine has to offer. Managing multiples (which more and more moms are carrying). Sorting out the information from the misinformation--the reality from the hype, fact from Internet legend.

    The fourth edition also takes into account how you likely use books these days, so the format is even more accessible than ever. More geared to in-the-moment, find-it-in-a-flash reading.

    Most important of all, the fourth edition celebrates pregnancy. I have a passion for pregnancy, and always have. I love moms, I love dads, and I love babies. But everything about this fourth edition from the happy, excited mom-to-be on the cover, proudly caressing her beautiful belly and its even more beautiful contents, to the adorable week-by-week description of the making of your baby, to the positive (yet realistic), mom-to-mom tone throughout--this fourth edition is not just an explanation of those 9 amazing (though often bewildering) months you have ahead of you. It's a celebration of them.

    What to Expect When You're Expectingfourth edition is everything moms and dads have come to expect fromWhat to Expect... only better. And I can't wait to start sharing it with you.

    I guess you can say--I'm a proud mama all over again.

    --Heidi Murkoff

    (The glass Castle)
    『This is a terrible book. Why would anyone be interesting in reading about this awful family? It's exploitation at its worst.』

    (Glass Castle)
    『My sister refered the book but I haven't read it as yet. It came in excellent condition』

    (Captivating)
    『Amazing, horrifying, and absolutley captivating. The further I got the harder it became to put this book down. This novel was at times funny, usually disturbing, and always thought provoking. Amazing to see what some children live through and how sometimes they become wise and self sufficient beyond their years. One of the best books that I have read, and one that I won't forget.』

    (A Story That Touches the Heart)
    『I could hardly put it down. The Glass Castle is masterfully written. The Author Jeannette Wall is a gifted writer who knows how to give her characters heart and flesh. I could see, hear and feel her pain and pride in the midst of a dysfunctional but fascinating family. I loved watching as she emerged into an intelligent and motivated young woman. I loved seeing her begin the personal healing process of accepting the things she could not change and the courage to change the things she could. This is a story that can give hope to many in similar circumstances. One caution is worth noting. Because the language in this book is raw and in-your-face, it may be too graphic for some readers. I feel that it would have been an excellent book without it; however, some could argue that at least one of the characters could not have been accurately portrayed any other way. Reluctantly, due to the language, I've given this book a four-star rather than a five-star rating.


    』

    (Captivating!)
    『I couldn't put this book down. The book was so well written that I felt I was there along with the writer in her struggle to make sense of what was going on around her. I found myself angry, sad, frustrated, puzzled and pulled into a world that I could not quite comprehend. I was forced to examine my own prejudices and my own family relationships.』
    『Jeannette Walls grew up with parents whose ideals and stubborn nonconformity were both their curse and their salvation. Rex and Rose Mary Walls had four children. In the beginning, they lived like nomads, moving among Southwest desert towns, camping in the mountains. Rex was a charismatic, brilliant man who, when sober, captured his children's imagination, teaching them physics, geology, and above all, how to embrace life fearlessly. Rose Mary, who painted and wrote and couldn't stand the responsibility of providing for her family, called herself an "excitement addict." Cooking a meal that would be consumed in fifteen minutes had no appeal when she could make a painting that might last forever.

    Later, when the money ran out, or the romance of the wandering life faded, the Walls retreated to the dismal West Virginia mining town -- and the family -- Rex Walls had done everything he could to escape. He drank. He stole the grocery money and disappeared for days. As the dysfunction of the family escalated, Jeannette and her brother and sisters had to fend for themselves, supporting one another as they weathered their parents' betrayals and, finally, found the resources and will to leave home.

    What is so astonishing about Jeannette Walls is not just that she had the guts and tenacity and intelligence to get out, but that she describes her parents with such deep affection and generosity. Hers is a story of triumph against all odds, but also a tender, moving tale of unconditional love in a family that despite its profound flaws gave her the fiery determination to carve out a successful life on her own terms.

    For two decades, Jeannette Walls hid her roots. Now she tells her own story. A regular contributor to MSNBC.com, she lives in New York and Long Island and is married to the writer John Taylor.』
    『Jeannette Walls's father always called her "Mountain Goat" and there's perhaps no more apt nickname for a girl who navigated a sheer and towering cliff of childhood both daily and stoically. InThe Glass Castle, Walls chronicles her upbringing at the hands of eccentric, nomadic parents--Rose Mary, her frustrated-artist mother, and Rex, her brilliant, alcoholic father. To call the elder Walls's childrearing style laissez faire would be putting it mildly. As Rose Mary and Rex, motivated by whims and paranoia, uprooted their kids time and again, the youngsters (Walls, her brother and two sisters) were left largely to their own devices. But while Rex and Rose Mary firmly believed children learned best from their own mistakes, they themselves never seemed to do so, repeating the same disastrous patterns that eventually landed them on the streets. Walls describes in fascinating detail what it was to be a child in this family, from the embarrassing (wearing shoes held together with safety pins; using markers to color her skin in an effort to camouflage holes in her pants) to the horrific (being told, after a creepy uncle pleasured himself in close proximity, that sexual assault is a crime of perception; and being pimped by her father at a bar). Though Walls has well earned the right to complain, at no point does she play the victim. In fact, Walls' removed, nonjudgmental stance is initially startling, since many of the circumstances she describes could be categorized as abusive (and unquestioningly neglectful). But on the contrary, Walls respects her parents' knack for making hardships feel like adventures, and her love for them--despite their overwhelming self-absorption--resonates from cover to cover.--Brangien Davis』


    What to Expect: Eating Well When You're Expecting
    What to Expect the First Year
    The What to Expect Pregnancy Journal&Organizer
    』
    Here is just a sample of the hundreds of proven and simple tips from Dr. Borba’s latest book,The Big Book of Parenting Solutions. The best news is that these solutions work for all ages, take less than a minute to do, are based on proven research and when consistently used will reap lasting change.

    1. Get attention:Lower your voice almost to a whisper and then say your request. Kids aren’t used to a quiet request.

    2. Increase positive behavior:Research shows that giving kids the right kind of praise (called“positive reinforcement”) is one of the best ways to shape new behavior. So, catch your kid doing the action you want. Just make sure your praise is specific and tells your child exactly what he did right. (Adding “because” or “that” takes your praise up a notch. “I’m so impressed that you started your homework all by yourself this time.”)

    3. Stretch persistence:Praising the child’s effort (“You’re working so hard”) and not inherent intelligence (”You’re so smart”) is proven to enhance perseverance and performance, but the child is also more likely to bounce back from a mistake—all because he feels success is not mixed.

    4. Reduce fear:Expose your child to a fear in small manageable doses and help them develop a statement to speak back to the worry (“Go away worry!” or “I can do this!”)

    5. Curb a tantrum:The longer you give attention to a tantrum the longer it lasts. Ignore, ignore, ignore!

    6. Nurture kindness:Encourage your child to use the Two Praise Rule everyday.“Say or do at least two kind things to someone.” Random acts of kindness really are catchy!

    7. Increase assertiveness:Stress:“Look at the color of the talker’s eyes.” Using eye contact helps kids appear confident. Strong body posture also helps a child be less likely to be bullied.

    8. Friendship builder:The two most commonly used traits of well-liked kids are“smiling” and “encouraging.” Reinforce those traits in your child to boost his friendship quotient.

    9. Develop healthy eating habits.Eating relaxed family meals regularly enhances kids’ psychosocial well- being, boosts grades and deters behaviors like smoking and drinking and eating disorders as well as teaches the child healthy eating habits.

    10. Curb nagging.Say "no" the first time and don’t back down. The average kid nags nine times knowing the parent will give in.

    (chelsea is hilarious)
    『every woman should own a copy of this book! may we all live vicariously through chelsea's entertainingly fun life! :o)』

    (I just don't get it)
    『I wanted to like this book. I wanted to read a story about a strong, confident woman who is not afraid to be open about her healthy and active sex life. I was looking for something along the lines of Sex and the City.

    This story is not about healthy one night encounters with quirky men. Instead it is about dangerous, very drunken one night stands. Even the "friends" she writes about are pretty nasty people. I'm sure the people in the book were written in a poor light in order to make the book funnier but, instead, it makes you thankful that this isn't your life.』

    (You Can't Help But Laugh)
    『Are you tired of winter? Are you sick of politics? Do you need something mindless to read? Are in you in the mood to laugh? If you answered Yes to any of these questions, then My Horizontal Life is your type of book. I'm a happily married middle aged man and I found myself laughing at some of the craziness that Chelsea has gotten herself into. I loved the characters in the book. The book is very easy to read and at times, a real page turner because you knew a twist was coming. During these tough economic times -- we need to laugh and Chelsea Handler provides perfect relief.』

    (What did you expect?)
    『Okay, so as I sit here and read through all of the negative feedback about how vapid and shallow Chelsea is, I must ask myself, "What did you expect when you sat down to read a collection of one night stands?" Handler is not trying to be the next Hawking or Shakespeare, she is simply writing tales of hilariousness (yeah I know, probably not a word) and fun! It is a great book that I got excited about every time I sat down to read. It's an instant mood booster and a great laugh. There were points at which I had to tell and recap a section to anyone standing near me. If you are expecting a timeless classic with morals, literary elements, substantiated plot, and tear jerking scenes of love, please read Faulkner and not a book about sex. Seriously people, relax, it's like watching the movie Legally Blonde and being disappointed because you thought it was going to be as good as Gone with the Wind. I loved it, it was an easy read, and it made me laugh... you can't really ask for more than that in a book about sex and one night stands!』

    (So Funny!)
    『I loved this book. It is laugh-out-loud hilarious! The dumb-dumb chapter about her roommate is the best』
