Shane Ellison is bold and he speaks up for the people!!! I appreciate everything he does. His products have been LIFE CHANGING  for my family, specifically Immune Fx and Cinnergy. All of them are top quality and effective, we have used about all of them in my house. There were some things I thought I was doing that were "healthy" before reading this book and I realized there are just as many unhealthy damaging things in the "health" industry. Shane helps to sort through all of that with the sciences and facts behind it. If you think you are doing everything right, I challenge you  to read this book! This book and these products literally wiped out illness in my family. Changed us!!!

First of all, no book will teach you vocabulary unless you are willing to sit down and do the work and the coverup exercises and the basic drills.  But if you are willing to put in the work, this is the book to learn real vocabulary from.

I have to say, it is the kind of book you *grow* to really love.  At first it's fine but the more you work with it, the more you figure out how it all fits together and you start to "get" how the different lists work with each other.  Then it really hits you how powerful a tool the thing is.  The best part, I think, is the way the words are grouped up grammatically.  In other words, all the words that you are going to want that have a second declension masculine set of endings are all placed right there together in one spot, and you can knock out every one of them  while refreshing your drills on the endings too.  And every noun and adjective and verb is grouped up that way.  Perfect!

A couple of caveats:  I found the topical lists to be less interesting, but that's really just a personal preference I suppose.  Others may love it.  I just didn't.  The grammatical summary (really just the endings and a bit of commentary) was mostly brilliant for review, but sometimes it was too much information and other times I would have liked a little more.  But again, that's probably just a matter of where you are in your own studies, I guess.  I'm reviewing after a time away so what I need depends on what I've forgotten and what I am remembering, really.  By the way, the book I have has grey shading instead of the yellow highlighting you see on the amazon site.  I would have preferred the yellow, perhaps; it looks a bit cheerier.  But the grey is fine and life goes on.

Finally, though, there are the prepositions.  Those really are a place where I think less would have been more.  They either need a simpler set of definitions or they need longer explanations to distinguish the shades of meaning a bit more.

I don't mean to be  too particular, but the prepositions were frustrating in that way.  If I could give it 4.75 stars, I would.  Still, the thing is first rate.  If you are willing to do the work, this book will be a good friend in your studies.

This is a quick, refreshing read with tips on how to cultivate creativity.  Not to spoil it, but it seems to involve a lot more practice, and a lot less excuses. Could catch on!

The author really likes fun socks - that's an important detail that cannot be missed.  The book shares examples of creative people in a number of fields and some things they've found to be successful, as well as gentle reminders throughout to practice.  Write, sing, play, paint, dance, whatever makes your creative heart sing is the only way to nourish it and expand your repertoire.

I'm impressed. I'm also quite  tempted to get it in book form to have nearby when I need that open-book-at-random  kind of pep talk or reality check.  Also a good book for gifting.  Read it.  Treat yourself.  You'll know how to pass it on and to whom, it's that kind of thing.  :)

Got the book last week, read it over the week-end.  First practice last night with the 8-9 year old team.  I had prepared drills for the D-Line as I am D-Line coach.

The defensive coordinator couldn't make it and there were only 11 kids at practice on defense because of vacations.

I improvised with individual and group drills, that I picked up in the book, for 60 minutes.  Kept the practice quick paced like Coach Bass said.

Amazing!  The kids were all into it.  No talking and fooling around like usual because they're bored waiting their turn.

I recommend it to any Youth Coach who is starting out or event with some experience.

Read it.  Try it.  Ask a colleague to watch you use one of the techniques.  It will change your practice.

I haven't finished this book yet. It's something you read then practice what it says. It's an easy read, good practices for mindfulness.

Great practice to improve Spanish reading comprehension!  It uses the vosotros form as well, which is helpful.  Good story line in general, so it is good to read in either English or Spanish :)

Give me a break by Hugh Culver

This is a must read for anyone who wants to manage their time!
Part I- "It's about time" is about getting real about where your time is spent.
Part II-"Systems" planning, interruptions, meetings, email, clutter.
Part III- "Habits"
Part IV- "This is the time"
There are worksheets to help you along your journey to manage your time.
1. I learned how to read faster by choosing a quiet place, be awake, committed to it
2. Read the Table of Contents
3. Read the fist paragraph, subheadings the last paragraph
4. Read with device to move your fingers along quicker down the page
5. Skip words that are common
You are the master of your time and not a victim of other people's agenda.
Busyness keeps you away from being present in the moment.
This is a thought provoking book that needs to be soaked up like a sponge especially is you procrastinate.  The website gives free worksheets to print out too!  Let me know if you like it, I did.

Read it, and use it. It is well worth the price of admission to gain insights from those who have actually succeeded.

The book is an easy read. Can be completed in one sitting.
The author breaks read comprehension into a three step process:
-pre-reading
-reading
-post reading
And for each step he gives some useful tips.

**what will you find?**

Ideas like compartmentalize, summarize, diversify, and identify what you're reading and why you're it.

I really liked his SMART technique. So if you want to learn more about reading comprehension in a short amount of time. Check this book out. It'll get you thinking.

Easy to read and put into practice! No need to buy all the other books. Even if you read the blog, this is a valuable additional resource and distillation. Plus, its funny. And most importantly it works. And doesnt make me feel like Im failing.
