Daymond John has shared some very valuable information for those who have more creativity than cash. The strategies he shares are practical and immediately do-able. Concise and precise. After purchasing it for KIndle, I was able to download a free PDF workbook to organize my own biz strategies. Thanks, Daymond!!

Another excellent book with sound advice by Florzak.  His marketing techniques, both traditional and non-traditional, are practical and useful for both start-up and established businesses.  The Resource information alone is worth the purchase price.  Easy to see how implementing just several of his 100+ marketing ideas can pay off.

Practical.  Readable.  Evidence based.  Now there aren't many books on change that all three of those adjectives apply to!

The book raises the right questions and gives evidence for its answers: What kinds of research work for whom, where are the disconnects, how can you be credible and understandable at the same time?  There are useful thought provoking taxonomies, case studies and summaries of relevant studies.  Evidence Based Policy making is itself an example of a good evidence based study targeting its audience perfectly.  The conclusions on using research to understand making research more effective and preparing researchers are worth the price of the book, but they are just the icing on a multilayered cake to savor from a recipe worth taking to heart. In short: Thomas J Corbett and Karen Bogenschneider have written and compiled a strikingly thorough and multifaceted assessment of how policy and research can and should intersect.

I found this book very easy to read, well researched, and super useful! Fotuhi really knows his stuff. The best part for me was the chapter on the practical steps that can be taken to sharpen one's memeory. The ATTENTION formula is easy to adopt and very effective. While I can't say my memory is already sharper, I am more aware of what's going on up there and what can be done to make sure everything continues to work like fine oiled machine.

Danny Roddy writes better books than he does articles and guest blog posts. He leaves behind his sophomoric humor in Hair Like a Fox, which to me is a great relief. I cannot recommend his web site to family and friends at the moment, but his book is definitely something I will advise them to read!

The research does come off as biased and lopsided, and much of it is quite dated; however, Danny errs towards impartial sources that have few to no agendas, unlike mainstream medical and nutritional "science". Some advice is impractical, but this is not an all-or-nothing approach. You can make the most feasible changes in your diet and lifestyle, and still reap the benefits. An example would to be to minimize the ingestion of polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs) from sources such as packaged and fried foods, while replacing them with saturated fats, such as coconut oil, and putting aside the "fear" of carbohydrates.

Although this is a newer edition of the book, I found it peculiar that he left out some important information that he has accumulated recently in his own research. One example is the importance of vitamin K2. There is no mention of K2's role in promoting circulation to the scalp and hair follicles, even though he clearly knows about this as evidenced by his own blog. The only mention of K2 is hidden in his references.

Read this book. It's short, concise, and very thought-provoking! Definitely give this guy a donation! He's put a lot of effort into his research and communication, which he gives away for free!

I count myself lucky for having stumbled across this helpful title a couple of months ago.  This highly readable book can benefit anyone who has ever struggled with his or her own behavior patterns --and who hasn't?  Many of the problems encountered by people with ADD are non-specific and afflict a large percentage of "non-ADD" people as well, even if to a lesser degree.  For this reason, "Living with ADD" deserves a  closer look from a wider audience.  Such headings as "Conquering the Internal Critic" --"Handling Criticism from Others" --"Ten Fallacies of Thinking" including catastrophizing, personalizing, and polarized thinking address most of us whether or not we fit into the diagnostic boundaries of ADD.  The eminently practical advice given by the authors is offered in short paragraphs that even most ADD readers will find manageable; more imporantly yet, the advice is do-able!
Since ADD (and Life) are not monolithic conditions, you may be able to skip an occasional exercise that does not apply to you, but rest assured: the moment you turn the page, the authors will be looking you straight in the eye again.  Clearly Roberts and Jansen know whereof they speak.  Their PHDs notwithstanding, they have succeeded in communicating their insights without getting tangled in academic jargon. I thank them.

This book presents a systematic approach that begins with identifying your internal needs and moves through the process of research, proposal development, and outreach to funders. Myths are addressed along the way; for example, grants are not "something for nothing," but rather "rational deals between colleagues." A good read filled with specific, hands-on advice.

Very fine research on a much relevant topic

A great resource book interspersed with personal narrative and no-nonsense information.  The topics are listed in a natural progression from finding the best doctor to sibling disagreements to hospice.

Obviously, a caregiver doesn't need all this information at once.  In fact, reading it all at once may be overwhelming.  While not a prediction of what is to come, it is a resource for a variety of possible scenarios.

Watch for information which may have changed or needs further examination. For example, an online search led me to find that a recommended convenience food for seniors contain more saturated fats and salt than the site leads the reader to believe.

Sheehy knows how to blend the human element with matter-of-fact information to make it readable and practical.

Suze Orman provides loads of practical advice for women that also works for men as I happily can attest. My wife and I were impressed with Suze's clear, easy-to-follow writing style and content organization into bite-sized chunks of useful tips and helpful advice. A wealth of great information on every page - I highly recommend it.

Another terrific book my wife and I have discovered is The StreetSmart Marketer by marketing guru Michael Hepworth. This book uses the fictional story of a young business woman grappling with marketing problems to introduce some incredibly effective and low-cost ways to build your business. I highly recommend both Women & Money and&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/The-StreetSmart-Marketer-11-Low-Cost-Keys-That-Unlock-The-Secrets-To-Rapid-Growth-In-Your-Business/dp/0978107047/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">The StreetSmart Marketer: 11 Low-Cost Keys That Unlock The Secrets To Rapid Growth In Your Business</a>

The Stressed-Out Writers Guide To Recording Your Own Audiobook  Is a great, information-packed book. I started reading it with an open and interested mind. I was not disappointed. As a writer, I have not done any audio-recording yet, but I have certainly been thinking about it This book delivers what it promises. In an easy, conversational tone, the author conveys an in-depth amount of information on the subject. There is no doubt he is a comedy writer, it comes through in his writing, but not to the point of being distracting. It was an enjoyable read, and not the in a nutshell type of information that make some non-fiction, how-to books disappointing. When covering the important parts of the recording process, this book contained the needed information. The author didn't take shortcuts by pointing somewhere else to find the answers.

The author takes what could be a potentially dry subject, and with his entertaining (funny) and conversational tone, walks the reader by the hand (in a friendly, not creepy way) through some of the more technical aspects of audio recording. You won't find any pretension here. Its hard to be pretentious with a $3 bath towel draped over your head to deaden the recording sound. Very real. Very down-to-earth. The author has clearly done his research on the topic, but he boosts that by sharing his own, practical experience.

As a creative writer and blossoming poet, I noticed and appreciated the lyrical quality to this authors writing style. Finding the funny in everything from retread tires to pharmaceutical sales, is one example. I might add to the list that the author found the funny in audio recording as well.

There is a linked (clickable) table of contents in the beginning and at the end of the book, which makes navigation very user friendly. There is a glossary of audio recording terms, which is brilliant. Each niche market has its unique vocabulary and you mark yourself as a novice if you don't know the language. The author has also included an extensive collection of resource links, along with explanations of why they would be helpful.

The formatting and editing in this book are impeccable. If there were grammar, punctuation, or formatting mistakes that slipped through, I didn't notice them. I was too busy enjoying the book! I found encouragement in this book, and inspiration to try something out of my comfort zone. I now have the keys to the castle on how to produce my own audio recording or even record for someone else. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in this series, when it is released.

I think this book gets the information across to the reader in a practical way that can actually be applied to real life.
I will be recommending this book!

Lots of practical advice! This is not theoretical, but a good "how to do it" book.
