Motivating and Informative

Given the task of raising African American children in these times of covert and systemic racism, school funding disparities and rampant school violence I am strongly considering African-centered homeschooling. After reading Education for Liberation, it seems like a viable option for making sure my son has the best possible chance of success.

Dr. Camara makes it clear in his book that African-centered home schooling is both necessary and doable. And after reading his book - I felt that I could do it. So I think this book is a must read for any parent of an African American child who is looking for an alternative to the mainstream education system in the U.S.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Education for Liberation! It is a source of great information for anyone who wants their child to learn without limits and do so in a way that truly places the child in the center of the learning process.

I found Dr. Camara to be incredibly practical in his approach. The book can serve as an excellent starting place for one's homeschooling journey. For those with longstanding experience, it continues to offer great encouragement and allows one to revisit the ideas that made them start homeschooling in the first place.

There is something for everyone in this book.

A very very good and motivating book to read!

Not very logical book in every sense, and some matters might me explained more precisely, for example it wasn't always clear to me what HR-% "scale" the writer was using in every sense. Anyhow, lots of information for me who hadn't read much about cardio exercise before the book - just practised. Would suggest the book, even if it had some (few) "faults" / unlogical telling.

Glad to have been led to this book by a family member. Unlike other self-help books I've read, this book has a truly personal approach and asks questions that cause you not only to reflect, but motivate you to action. The answers to these questions will be specific to each reader and I have already begun applying some principles learned to my everyday life.

This book really helped to open my eyes about the way that people act and what motivates them; also how to change their motivation.

Great book for anyone wanting to know what really motivates people. I was turned on to this book from a class I took for supervisors. However, I don't think you need to be a supervisor to read this book.

This book was a great read. It can motivate you to make the right choices in a relationship, even if they're not easy to make. Men and women can both benefit from this book. The author seriously opens up and gives insight to what it's really like to be in an unhealthy relationship.

Really easy to read!! Very good information and motivating. If you are more interested on what works instead of the science behind it this is your book.

Straight to the point. Motivating, insightful and interesting. Would recommend to anyone who is interested in taking a more proactive role on creating their future.

As a great self-starter and often 'poor finisher', this book is very motivating. Understanding the concepts of habits, willpower, motivation and how our brains work makes so much sense. I'm learning that I can create mini habits that will grow into accomplished goals. If you've wrestled with procrastination, burnout, or just plain 'never getting started,' this book is for you. I also think it's a great book for people who turn every activity they're involved in into a huge project. I highly recommend this as a great read for many reasons. Check it out for yourself. I truly don't think you'll be disappointed.

This brief book gives a wonderful overview of how to begin to get oneself oranaized and focused. Of course you have to work the system to see results.
S.J. Scott also shares links and references to other organizatioal "experts" and systems that have proven themselves for those willing to do the work.

I enjoyed reading this book and smiled to know I already have some of these systems in place.
A refresher is always welcome and motivating.

Excellent advice!  Easy to follow and motivates you to keep going.  I like how each chapter is broken down in the "what", "why", "how" and "now what" format.  It's not overwhelming and it doesn't drone on and on!

This very informative book is both instuctional and motivational.  While he has you setting your personal goals, he urges you to both reach for the stars and keep your feet on the ground.  Easily read and enjoyed by anyone in (or trying to get into)the Hunter/Jumper equestrian world. His personal commitment to the welfare of both horse and rider is appreciated in a world where the "win at all costs" attitude is so prevelant.

Sometimes, knowing something is good for us is not enough to get us working on it. What is missing is more a constant influx of motivation to make us start and determination and discipline to not stop doing what we know is healthy or just a great idea.

Exercise is one of the things that we find mentally hard to do regularly, even though we sometimes lie to ourselves saying we just need to rest a bit or something. In my opinion and experience, this book does well on each of the three departments mentioned in its title. I often have myself giving up after a day or two, but it has held me going for a while now.

There are some interesting things I didn't know about, too, like the different types of body physiques or the thing about water weight. I wholeheartedly recommend this book!

Walking on Air was a quick read that really hit home for some of the daily struggles I encounter as a young professional. It helped me regain my focus on the things I should be concentrating on. The writers clearly articulate their tips and mentalities. I used to work with a young employee who had a similar mindset and drive. It showed in his eyes and everyone could see it. I found this book very motivating and will recommend it to my peers and co-workers.

The book was very satisfying, while at the same time it left me wanting more. I'm looking forward to the next piece of work from these Young, Fly, and Foolish authors.

If you are sorting out your feelings on starting a business or have a dream to start one I highly recommend this book.  It is good to be reminded, especially in today's climate, that motivated individuals who are driven are not evil for wanting to work hard for a profit.  The book was a motivator for me.

Very informative and motivating. A great program for someone able to worry about meals for him or herself. Not sure if good for a family of five.

I found this book to be very motivational and inspiring. The authors story brings to light that you can accomplish whatever you want, regardless of your past, as long as you work hard, stay positive and continue to stay hungry towards your goals.
