My twins' father (now my ex) considered himself a 'babysitter' when begged to watch the twins. He thought he was doing me a favor. It took me a while to figure out he had it all wrong. This book is an enjoyable read and the information contained in it is so very useful and important IMO. Dads should be respected and responsible, just like Moms. I'm glad to hear Doyin RIchards putting out the call.

I have been looking forward to this book since I became familiar with Eurich's previous work, Bankable Leadership, which I loved, and am happy to report that I'm equally as impressed by her second effort. Eurich's writing is insightful (no pun intended) and accessible, and her anecdotes illustrate with humor and poignancy just how important - and elusive - self-awareness really is. Everyone can benefit from this book, whether you can't define self-awareness at all yet or are already one of Eurich's rare "self-awareness unicorns" who are both internally and externally aware of who they are and how they're seen by others. I intended to use this book for business purposes, but was pleased to find that the premise really is globally applicable to all interpersonal relationships because it's not only about how you interact at work, but who you are at your core. I've learned from only my first reading of this book that at my core I want to be a self-awareness unicorn, so do yourself a favor and let Eurich help you become one too.

I am grateful for the important food selection, storage and preparation information found in this highly readable guide. The interesting native foods histories info was an added bonus. I would have liked more discussion on cooking methods as related to nutrition since my favorite method (tossing with some olive oil then oven roasting) was not mentioned. The description of "Gelatin Salads" in the last chapter had me rolling with laughter!  Thank you for this great book.

I really, really found this a valuable book. I am in my forties, divorced, but I have never really dated. When I felt ready, I looked around for advice on what the contemporary guidelines were. This book was helpful in that way, but also in how to take a look at yourself, and see what others may see or feel when they are with you. It's very important, I think, to practice that, because not only are we responsible for half of the relationship dynamics, we need to see what others see whether it is something that we think we should change or not.

I'm a very cerebral, logical, practical person, and understanding how attraction works is not my forte. But I've been learning what is healthy attraction and what is not, from my perspective, and this book helps me think about it from someone else's perspective. Also, Dr. Ali helps us women let go of the need to "just be ourselves" and not change for anybody. Many women my age take that too seriously, yet expect men to change to suit us. When really, we all change, all the time, and it's important to see why we need to.

I really loved practicing his feminine energy pointers, such as being receptive. I've never been all that good at it, but allowing that to unfold is a win-win, and so wonderful.

I recommend this book to my friends who are also getting comfortable with new approaches to dating and love lives. I really thank Dr. Ali for putting an intelligent, warm, balanced book out there. It makes sense to us who are heavily rational and scientific, but also warms us up to understand our emotions and how to be with others in a healthy way.

As someone who has been toying with the idea of going on the road since I retired, I found this book really useful. It has information on the sort of things you need to know before making what could well be a major lifestyle change. Amongst other things, Lisa goes into the potential costs and ways of reducing them. I like the style, it makes for easy reading but contains lots of useful tips and guidance to those considering getting away from it all.

"Daring Greatly" was a wonderful and informative read made even more so by the timeliness of the material.  Brown has a wonderful conversational style of writing that loops in such a way as to intuitively bring the readier forward with sometimes complex statistical data.  She seems to know where she may loose her reader and swoops us back up with references to past topics, where she gently carries us forward. I had a good time reading "Daring Greatly" and feel I was gifted the material she presents here, such was its relevance. The strength in vulnerability; the actual necessity of it within our lives sends a powerful message to existing perspectives prevalent in our culture.  Brown mined courageously from this tapped vein of golden wisdom.

First and foremost I want to thank you again for the opportunity to read this wonderful book you have compiled for us all.  Secondly, I found that while reading the book to review it, I discovered, that I needed to know a lot of the information for me. Therefore, it became beneficial for me. Thirdly, I want you to know that it will be considered a reference book in my library. I often refer to books in my library that contain information of substance repeatedly throughout my years; this will be one of them also.

The Book:

The title is so befitting; Practically Healthy. Practically contains the root word practical therefore, for me, the topics and their action plans are just that...practical.  The information supplied, makes sense so that you don't have to be a Doctor or rocket scientist to incorporate some of the suggestions in the book. I read the book from start to finish, straight through, but I realize that the information is a lot to digest.  Therefore, now when I need certain information I will go straight to that chapter(s).

When I got to the chapter, Empty Your Trash, it was like watching a good movie. All of the information prior to that was just building you up for the crescendo which was this chapter.  But it didn't end there; after I learned various methods and the importance of emptying my trash, it just got better from there.  I had also purchased a stool to aid in emptying my trash years ago, but somewhere along the line it became an item that I sit things on. Well, after reading this chapter it was moved right back into the bathroom where it belonged.

Also of note, I thoroughly enjoyed the many quotes provided throughout the course of the book.

I could go on and on talking about this book because throughout the delivery of the messages contained therein, I get so excited! I highly recommend this book to EVERYONE that can read.  It will definitely be a book in your library that you will always have as a reference because you can't digest it all in one bite.

This book might try to cover a lot of information for a single volume. Never the less, there is some extremely valuable information that might not be discussed in other books, and I am happy I found this book and read it. I found specially interesting chapters: 7 Psychology, and 8. Mythology and Tradition (This is an example of how diverse the subjects are). Ch. 2 On the Elements of Composition was simple and very helpful also. Therefore, I recommend this book as one in which you will get extra and important information for your songwriting techniques and inspiration.

The content of this book is golden, it's really valuable information that is useful for anyone interested in trading or financial markets in general. There are some grammar issues but if you focus on the issue at hand they are not a problem. It's a quick read and offers great value for the price paid, can certainly recommend it!

The aspect of this book that I particularly find extremely valuable are the lists of the top contributors to the political parties and all the presidential candidates --- simply GREAT for learning who-gave-it and who-got-it --- armed with this information, one can discuss the candidates and political parties at message boards, amongst friends and family, etc. and have a substantial edge on others about the influences upon our political parties and candidates.
