It made me think and enjoy

Dr. KAHNEMAN wrote in simple worlds about a very complex aspect in our mind. It is a pleasure to read a Nobel Award winner speaking for us, commun people. KAHNEMAN is in the borderline of knowledge, but he is able to keep narrative deep and accessible. I recommend his book very much.
It could be a good practice if every Nobel winner could spend some time writing/explainimg his or her way of thinking to the rest of the world.

Originally borrowed it from the library and I like it so much I purchased my own copy. It really makes me think about things I hadn't really thought about before.

I don't usually read books about economics.  I certainly don't expect them to be captivating.  The book Enough is Enough caught me by surprise.  I thoroughly enjoyed it.  My highest praise for a book is that it shakes my perceptions of the world around me.  This book did that in spades.  It challenged my perceptions of what an economy must have, what works, and what doesn't.  The prose, loaded with personal stories, drew me in and made concepts real.  Most importantly, this book was not a laundry list for what is wrong with our world and how things will get worse.  No, it mostly describes how to make the world work better for individuals, our society, and environment.  At one point in the book I came across an idea that didn't immediately strike me as workable.  I laughed after asking myself "and how well does our current Bernanke-blessed system work?" I'll be re-reading this book to really absorb its ideas.  I guess I couldn't get enough...

I found myself puting this book down to savor its beauty...though perhaps the writing is a bit "hit you over the head" I enjoyed its clarity AND obscurity. That we never understand what love is, and that  everyone can be afraid to beileve they are capable of love. I especially  liked that Stefano never forced Gabriella--he wanted to make himself happy,  and by doing so perhaps allowed her to be happy to.  Happiness is a gift we  give ourselves. Allowing ourselves to be happy is a key factor in this  book, and one that inspires the thoughtful reader to turn inside and find  out how to make their own happines..  I truly enjoyed this book.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I sat down to read this book, but I have to admit I couldn't wait to finish it.  I also have to admit that while I was reading it I kept thinking how this would make a great movie on LMN and kept trying to think of who would play all of the characters.  Some of what happened was predictable but in today's world of having to try to figure out what somebody is trying to say when they write a book, it was enjoyable to just be able to read and not have to get so deep that it would take the enjoyment out of it.  I read this because a member of our bookclub picked it for her choice this month, it will interesting to see what everyone thought.  We have read quite a few books lately that have been very thought provoking, sad, upsetting, this was a nice change of pace.  I would recommend this as a great summer read.

I reeeal enjoyed this video.

It left me thinking about my own eternal state. It could sure be used as a very powerful witnessing tool, after I watched it, I invited several people in my life over for a viewing and discussion.

It had the feel of being a "whodunit." Not the easiest language to understand, and not a very long book either, I got through it all in one sitting. I was fascinated by the creative examination of human thoughts and drives. It's worth a read, but be patient with it

I enjoyed this story, and the story within a story and the story within a story within a story. It was a bit of work but it made me think, and in a good way. The story twisted around revealing the truth a bit at a time. Took me back to my childhood and made me look at myself. It was a thoughtful elaborate tale. A worthy read if you like something a bit quirky.

It made me laugh. It made me cry. It made me think.
From the moment I started reading it I could barely set it down.

Although this book was unusual, somehow it began to sink into my consciousness the giant metaphor that Jones was actually describing . In some odd way it had a profound impact on me and I enjoyed it immensely.  In another way it brought me closer to my faith, realizing the choices we make every day to bring Jesus into our heart or not . It also described the fear that people have in doing so and why that might be the case.  The book was simple,  but strangely enough offered some profound ideas .

Very interesting.  Made me think a lot about why I make certain decisions.

This is one of those stories that really gives you food for thought, much in the same way that On the Island did for me. I was constantly putting myself in the scenario, wondering how I would respond in the same situation. I have always felt that I have very strong feelings as it relates to marriage, fidelity, and trust, and they still remain; but what this story did was helped me to see the subtle nuance and fragile nature of a relationship. I mean this book really made me think, and examine the nature of infidelity and the importance of communication in a committed marriage/relationship.

The author slowly and meticulously drew us into the life and of Claire and Chris, and helped to paint the picture of how they made it to the point of being ships passing in the night. What I always find fascinating when authors give the male and female POV, is that the male is usually thinking on the right track, but they don't often verbalize it. It was also intriguing to see how they each dealt with stress; initially Claire would reach out, but Chris would close up, even getting to the point of asking Claire to basically leave him alone because he was so depressed over his unemployment. With a year of unemployment, and then another year of working a stressful job that kept him away from his family, Chris drifted farther and farther away from Claire.

Meanwhile, enter Daniel;  a sweet, gentle soul, who picked up on so much of what Claire needed and desired, and still managing to be a gentleman. Okay, now here is where me gauging my moral compass gained momentum. I knew that the direction of the relationship between Claire and Daniel was not healthy and extremely dangerous and I knew that it was wrong, but I understood it. The emotional bond that they created, is much more intimate and stronger than any physical relationship could be. I just kept holding my breath, because I was afraid of the outcome, and I cared enough about all three in this dynamic that I didn't want anyone to get hurt. Was it nave of me to want to see them all happy, especially Daniel?  In the end, I felt like my heart was a bit in limbo ; I was hopeful and optimistic, but a little sad and I wasn't really sure why. I felt like this story was a tool to recalibrate that moral compass, WOW Tracey, that some powerful gift you've got there. Thanks for a thought provoking read.
