The point isn't whether I love it.  The point is whether the flat tappets in my small block 350 does, and I think this a good chance to take.

Some people are very good at explaining a complex idea using stories and concepts that make the idea seem simple. Their enthusiasm becomes persuasive. You feel like you understand what they are getting at. It all sounds really good. You get a warm feeling inside.

Leonard does that with this book. Her enthusiasm shows through. What she says makes a lot of sense.

But when she comes out with her vision, there is not much there. I felt she had oversold her ideas. In short, she says we should get along with less stuff. That's like telling someone who is overweight that they need to eat less. Not much vision in stating the obvious.

The important question is, how do we do that? How do we fight the urge to buy more stuff? How do we convince ourselves that we have enough clothes in the closet? That we do not need the bigger television? The vinyl wading pool for our kids? The new car?

We humans gain status by gaining stuff. And the search for status seems ingrained in all of us. (See&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Status-Anxiety/dp/0375725350/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Status Anxiety</a>.)

Leonard condemns our obsession with stuff, and says it is harming us. But how do we change? That question Leonard does not answer.

Can you be more of a fan of yourself? This guy is the definition of tooting your own horn. Every thing he does or thinks or achieves is the best of the best, such narcissism. I know you served and sacrificed but tone down the self love.

I don't like the flavor, but it could be a personal choice.

Gawd, I don't want to write this.  Because I hate to write negative about anyone who really puts their heart out there for us all.  And what little I've read about this woman is that she is an awfully fine person.

I hardly know her songs, though they are of course on every radio every day, thus I've heard them, some.  But this is the first I've give it a spin, a bunch of her songs.

I like them.  I do.  But I like Three Musketeers bars, too, sweet outside, insubstantial goo inside.  It just makes me think of LA type music, and/or hollywood movies -- slick, over-produced, likeable, but empty.

So. I like some of the songs but wish I didn't, and I don't, afterwards.  I think she is a fine woman, and giving us what she has to give, just not to my particular taste.

I enjoyed Random Obsessions. It wasn't what I expected (Which was a good thing). Found myself picking it back up time in time again and always seemed to find something new out of it. keep in mind it might not be for everyone

I like some songs a lot. Others not so much. Overall a good album, but I ain't raving. Figured give her a shot and try new songs out since I knew I already liked a couple.

The "one-moment" in the title might hint at shallowness for the sake of a quick fix but it isn't so.

In addition to techniques of stillness, there were some profound insights for me here, particularly about death enriching life. Take a look to see what I mean.

While parts of this book are informative, other parts I disagree with. I believe it's wise not to fill your mind and thoughts with negative chatter, but in the other hand is it wise to suggest one to ignore there thoughts? Thoughts resolve situations, lead to new inventions, or solve \ work through problems or best way to deal with them. Sure, Love in the present, but do it using your head. Not sure I like how this book was presented, but it could have potential for good informative guidance of some things were worded or put differently.

How does one rate a book when one does not want to do what the book asks of its readers? Yet, there is definitely something to this wheat issue. I can't seem to stay off bread completely; yet, after reading Wheat Belly, I do eat considerably LESS of it. I had clearly noticed that when I stopped eating it, I began to feel lighter and better all around. And I think my spare tire did indeed deflate a bit. Maybe three stars is too low....

There is a woman I know who says that wheat is a hostile grain (hostile to the body). A strange way to put it, but I'm sure William Davis will agree. :)

I tend to think less of this book  than it deserves and I'm not sure why.  I plan on reading the next in series to figure it out..

I bought this book because so many readers seemed to like it. But now I know this is not my kind of books. Who am I to judge other people? I myself do not get turned on by the thought of being spanked, especially past the point when I feel like crying. Or treat women as if they were children? "Stand in the corner and wait for the spanking". Really!? To me it's close to abuse. But it's my view.

Although I read the whole thing,  I really didn't enjoy it much.  To be fair, I'm not a fan of vampires or weird creatures, especially the human eating kind.  Others may like that type of book, so if that's your thing, then you'll like it!

A different perspective on overeating.... not focused on how to diet, but thoughts on how our overeating plays out in our spiritual walk... had never really thought too much about gluttony... that it truly is a sin.... that I really don't want to willfully sin against God.... just food for thought!

I like this song, so I bought it. You may or may not agree. That decision is up to you. I do not recommend buying this if you do not like the song. Normally, people don't buy things that they don't like.

It takes only a few seconds to go from the point of feeling low to the point of feeling good.
The first step is to remember that the problem is not about lack of money, lack of love, or lack of sound health; the problem is about feeling good.

And there is a very easy way to feel good, no matter how your bank account looks like or whatever external situation you are living in.

It's a very simple Truth that 99,99% of times people forget about.

Thanks for that Great Reminder!
