This Author was referred to me by a Penn State Hershey Professor who is in charge of the ADD/ADHD/ODD study my child and I participated in. They referred this Author's books to me and suggested that we utilize his work when looking for ways to deal with our child's ADD/ADHD/ODD. The 8 steps are very useful and realistic.

This proved to be an excellent guide, not just in the sense that the health information can improve your sex life, but how it can improve your life in all ways. Nutrition is linked to so much in our lives and the information here can lead to a better quality of living. (And better sex! Who doesnt want that?)

The author has a gift for making the information clear to understand and its quite enjoyable to read. I was very impressed and I plan on making full use of these tips as soon as possible.

I want to thank the author for giving me an ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review. It was an excellent read and Im thankful for the opportunity.

This book is filled with amazing advice/tips to improve your writing. I really enjoyed this book, it was quite interactive  and conversational, it doesn't feel like a "how-to" book, that's a big plus for me. I loved that this book answered some myths about writing and writers. It's filled with tips on how to improve your writing, and how to overcome some of the obstacles you run into when you're writing, like the writer's block. A very enjoyable and informative read.

I picked this book up at the library thinking I might have a skim or two over it, but found it so interesting I've actually read it cover to cover. The authors write in clear tone and voice, simple language, and break each chapter up into multiple sections. I do plan on buying it now, and I think it will be very handy for reference.

Some of the information presented can be a bit redundant, but in general this is an excellent introduction to the nutrition from a naturopathic perspective, and indeed the naturopathic movement as a whole (since it is so focused on preventative care). There are many specific examples in each chapter of patients', whom either of the authors have seen, experiences.

I didn't pick this book up to diagnose myself of any condition, or to treat anything in particular, but I have taken the advice of the book and implemented a few changes to my diet and supplementation habits. I am already a very clean eater, and a believer in naturopathic medicine, yet I found plenty of things I need to work on. I am now taking a B complex vitamin daily, and have seen my energy increase and my appetite decrease. I have also started taking ECPO (enteric coated peppermint oil) after eating large meals or potentially problematic foods, and have had good experiences so far with that.

Overall I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking to make some changes to their own eating patterns, or anyone who is looking to broaden their knowledge of the naturpathic movement.

This book was enlightening and provided many nuggets of wisdom. Albeit, not an all-inclusive guide to life but certainly filled with actionable steps for you to be your own guide to life (which is likely a better form for self-help and change). Absolutely worth a read.

I recently received this as a gift, and was pleasantly surprised. I learned quite a lot from reading it.

When I graduated college and moved into my first apartment. I starting accumulating a few tools, but didn't always make the best choices. And there were a few I didn't buy because I didn't know they existed, but which would've made work easier if I had known about them. This book explains what tools you need--  and which is the best version of each one. A really useful guide for anyone moving into their first apartment or house, but it would also be useful for anyone who uses tools. A lot of practical information here, and easy to understand.

I intend to look over my Christmas list-- this will be a good idea for the people who I haven't been able to think of what to get them. A useful gift, at a really good price.

Medisky's book is not only witty but also quite helpful. She offers great ideas on repurposing old items to inform readers how to save money while lessening their impact on the environment. I can't wait to try them out! I'll also be consulting her list of resources next time I do some online shopping.

The tried and true tips in this comprehensive book make it a must buy for anyone living on a budget.

I really enjoyed this book!  The author presents 50 lifestyle changes she would recommend, with the idea that you would work on one change per week.  One year from now you will probably feel significantly better as a result.  Personally I think many of the ideas will take more than one week (such as reducing stress levels - I will be working on that for a long time!) but it's a great concept and I like her suggestions very much.

Her suggestions for change cover many aspects of life but the majority of them seem to be regarding healthy food choices.  The choices she suggests are truly natural and go back to the way many of our great grandparents probably were eating (ie...eggs can be very healthy, so can meat and fats, etc.)  I've been trying to improve my health for a while now and while I was reading I found myself nodding my head - many of the things she says in this book are things that I have found out from my own experience.

In addition to food the topics addressed are sleeping, eco-friendly cleaning products, stress reduction, exercise, being outdoors, being kind to yourself, and many more.

I enjoyed this book even more than I expected to, and I will definitely read more books by this author.  Recommended for anyone trying to improve their diet and their lifestyle in the most natural, chemical free, back to basics way possible.

This is a very intriguing and very insightful combo of two guides in one. One guide is on how to learn and understand C++ programming and the other is on the phenomenon of computer hacking and how to fully grasp and comprehend the skill of the technique and everything that goes into the world of hacking and internet security. Both are certainly eye openers that enlighten and guide you through it at a steady pace, both are easily to read and the information they present are easy to absorb without causing a confused fluster that forces you to re-read it multiple times before getting a good idea of what they're talking about. If you are interested in either C++ programming, or computer hacking, or both, you should absolutely consider downloading these handy guides. With two helpful and useful guides for the price of one, it's a bargain in itself, I highly recommend it.
