This book hooked me from the start! Gray is a natural, & somehow seamlessly combines fantasy, Arthurian legends, dark matter & string theory into a compelling tale. I couldn't put it down!

This book was fantastic!!! The book was about 80% written as a first person log entry by the only guy stranded on Mars but he was so likable that I rooted for him every page. It was scientific but easy to understand. He was funny, intelligent and always in good spirits.

This was my first Paleo read, and it is difficult text in some areas (full of science and biology beyond many of us). I couldn't put it down though, and followed up with Robb Wolf's The Paleo Solution, and Lorain Cordain's books as they arrived after I began reading Epi-Paleo RX. Some may prefer reading them first and then getting Dr. Kruse's take on how man evolved as he did based on climate, diet, etc at the celllar level read this afterwards.  I tend to like the Maverick type of doctors, researchers, etc and found it and his site fascinating. Many men and women in history were considered, mad by their peers and only to have their brilliance acknowledged when science and technology caught up at a much later date. Take what you learn from these books, sites and blogs and see what works for you. I believe that we are all unique individuals and must test what works for our bodies. I'm just starting out and have a long road to optimal, but am very eager to learn. (Now if we can just keep Big Brother, Big Pharma-Agri out our way, we might make some actual headway re: diet, health, medical care IMHO)

I really enjoyed this book and found the content extremely inspiring.  I work at an institution that is cultured to men in the scientific field and I think that if the women scientists read this book before encountering the culture here, it would definitely put them in a better place to start.  So many wonderful ideas and the most inspiring was that everyone should have a seat at "the table".  I recommended this book to my male boss to read as we are trying to overcome diversity issues in the workplace.

I'm a Doctor, and BY FAR the #1 cause of all people's concerns is stress.  Whether it's back pain or emotional distress.  Financial concerns or lack of energy.  It doesn't matter the outward expression.  99% of the time, the ultimate cause is an inability to manage the stresses of their life.

I saw John speak last night, and was blown away by the content of his new book.  Finally, a biological basis for who we are as men & women!  It's so clear and makes so much sense now.

What I especially appreciated were his easy to apply actions and strategies for creating more happiness and success, both as individuals and as couples.

The few hours spent learning this new material from John last night has instantaneously catapulted the quality of my life, my relationships, and my ability to make a difference and contribute to others.

Thank you John!

I just finished this book this morning. It may seem a bit odd that I would read a book that is "for" men, but the subscript on the cover says "discovering the secret of a man's soul". It doesn't say that it's for men only. I got it thinking I'd rather like to know the secret of a man's soul so that I can maybe understand a little more about my husband.

Well, I got what I wanted, and then some. This may be written as a book for men, but I really and truly think it is a book for couples.  And the woman should read it first.

I am totally impressed with this book.  I admit when I first started it, I was very skeptical. It seemed a bit on the theatrical side; but as I got further into it, and the points were expanded on, the feeling of theatrics disappeared to a large extent. Not entirely, which is totally expected, as the author was in theatre for a while; but his points were so well supported that a touch of theatrics didn't matter.

Eldredge talks about the dreams that boys have- that turn into the heart desires of men.  How our world/culture creates boredom instead of fulfillment of those dreams and desires- and how men can recover their hearts.  Going beyond recovery, he talks about how a man's heart can be wounded when he is a boy- which pretty much is a fantastic parenting section on how to help your boy grow up not wounded, with his heart and dreams intact.

I loved this book. It gave me insight into my husband that I did not previously have- a greater appreciation for our differences as man and woman; as well as teaching me how to help my boys become strong men. I will be keeping this book around to reread as my boys get older- and I've already grabbed several of John Eldredge's other books from my local library.  If they are as good as this one, I'll be buying them to reread over the years as well.

I ordered this book because I was a student of Dr. Rhee and could not believe it when I heard that he had written an historical novel.  He was one of my favorite professors and so I was excited to read his book.  I learned so much about the history of Korea and Japan through this very touching and sad story of two people forced to marry for political reasons.  As usual, Dr. Rhee challenged me to think about things I had never thought about before and to think about things from multiple perspectives.  Thanks to Dr. Rhee for putting together this masterpiece!

This blog series reads like a short book, so I was excited to read it for a second time on my Kindle. I enjoyed it even more this time around. Yes, after completion you are sufficiently informed about the superhuman known as Elon Musk, but there is much more to this book. Tim breaks down the history of the automotive and space industries in a very efficient way. He feeds you this knowledge in order to help you digest the true magnitude of Elon's endeavors. Also, Tim made it very clear as to why these two massive industries seem so frustratingly stagnant. It ultimately boils down to human desires such as greed and comfort. My world view and thoughts about humanity as a whole were altered after reading this.

I also have to mention my new found love for Elon Musk, yes love. This man is a special human that truly wants the best future for his species. Tim dives into Elon's mind in such a way that...you feel as though you really KNOW him. You understand and appreciate the fact that his pursuits are altruistic. You pull for him and want him to succed with all your heart. I'm in my 20's and I know that this man's actions have the potential to positively impact the lives of my future children. So thanks Tim for helping me get to know Elon. This is a great read if want to feel more optimistic about the future of humanity.

One more thing! Tim Urban's writing style is...unique in a very good way. He writes in a casual, conversational way and occasionally swears. I find it to be very precise, effective and funny. This is why I recommend his blog that is filled with fascinating material. Hey, Elon Musk noticed this guy's work and got in contact with him! Elon acknowledged and recognized the skill's that Tim possesses. That should be enough to check this guy out. Oh and my boy Tim just recently did a TED talk, doin work!!

Dr. Kathryn Foster has incredible insight into the male psyche.  I have gained amazing knowledge about men and how they see the world and their women.  I believe this is a must-read for any woman with men in heir lives. Definitely rate it a 5 star!

Five MERCURIAL Stars. "Love From Mars" Is a romance/science fiction tale by J. P. Cawood which has just enough of each genre to attract fans from both camps. I read the early chapters in the Kindle Scout program and I had no idea this would be so different from where I imagined it was going and so rewarding on different levels.

This is an interesting take on the 'first humans on Mars' theme that is so hot these days in novels, film and television. But the author's spin has it beginning on Earth, years before launch and after an unusual selection process for the "Martian Six" of the "Man on Mars" program. Emma Davis is a reporter from the local Sentinel newspaper who accidentally meets the sensitive Ryan Clarke, one of the 'Six', and in the process of researching and writing her story a friendly relationship develops between them. Outside of the interesting main story where things quickly get complicated on the interpersonal level and within the program, author Cawood adds unexpected dimensions to the story and presents some astronaut training techniques, challenges, and restrictions that could be a primer for real-life space programs. There are also twists and turns that keep the interest, some adult themes, and even some wild unexpected scenes ahead that you may not see coming. A very enjoyable novel with deep characterizations that urge the readers along to its stirring denouement. Highly Recommended. Five UNEXPECTED Stars. (HEROmation.

I loved this book. Dr Levant is a professor at the University I attend so this held special interest for me. He really does the reader justice by tying in case studies to illustrate his points. This is a bit dated but still highly relevant within the male dominated society of the U.S. I hope his book will be the first of many that will challenge the traditional male roles.

The book was amazing, it was not really about Mars, it was about people!!!!! I was very touched and will be looking for more by Andy Weir----- i do not know how you will top that.

I'm a retired aerospace engineer and enjoy reading both fiction and non-fiction books about space and the future of humanity.  This novel is about a Mars mission circa 2050.  It's a great story with rich characters.  The action was fast moving, and I found the book hard to put down till I finished it.  I highly recommend this book for all age groups.

This book had me laughing at so many real life topics!  The author became my personal confidant-sharing my giggles and shouts of "Hey, that's right!" I felt an instant bonding to the authors words that were replaced by the comedy running in my head. I thought I was the only one who had those kind of thoughts! Even though this books seems to be written for menopausal women, it's value clearly extends to every man that truly wants to understand women. Younger readers will also be delighted to find topics worthy of ponder (Will I do that?), self reflection (I do have that tendency...), and discussions with perhaps a future "significant other" (Did you do that?) Truly, a book interesting for all!
