I can't recommend this book highly enough. I've tried several recipes. My favorites are aloo-gobi, saag paneer, chicken curry, and others. The recipes are so intensely flavorful, satisfying, and healthy. If you like indian food but not the high cost of eating out, this book is for you. It brings the wonderful flavors of indian cooking into your home for a fraction of the price you would spend at a restaurant and teaches you how to cook with grains for just pennies per meal. There are two times I especially enjoy Indian cooking and using Anupy's recipies, when I'm trying to lose weight, all the vegetarian cooking is so satisfying that I'm not hungry and I don't feel like I'm dieting. The other time is when I'm strapped for cash. I keep bags of dried chick peas, chana dal, and spices around for when I run out of money at the end of the month. Then  all I need is a few red onions, ginger, and maybe some sale meat at the store... but the return for this meager expense is food enough for me and my friends for about a week that's so good that it's usually better than the local indian restaurants. Anupy, thank you from the bottom of my stomach! What you have made here is absolutely wonderful!!! I recommend this book to everyone who enjoys Indian food. I give this book a 10 out of 5!!! :)

I can't say enough about how much I love this book. Reading Gabby's story really inspired me and I know anyone else who reads this book will be inspired as well. She writes with such honesty and insight that you truly feel what she has gone through and how she became a spirit junkie. I had so many revelations of my own while reading this book about my own life and the path I want to take, that I know I will want to read it again and again. For anyone looking to become more connected with their true selves, this is a must read. Gabby walks the walks and talks the talk. Every chapter of Spirit Junkie makes you want to join her on her journey, and it's a journey worth taking.

I could not recommend this book more. High: A Party Girl's Guide to Peace is full of beautifully crafted sentences, chapters overflowing with love, personal stories shared that we can all relate to, and thought-provoking peace practices. High is so much more than just a well-written book, its a manual to finding peace, love and inspiration. Its a guide to help us unclench our fists and let go of the stories weve created in our heads about who we are, who we want to be, and how we need to live.
Basically, you need this book in your life.

Frankly, I tried to resist getting caught up in "The One-Foot Waterfall". I couldn't.

I found myself weeping, not just welling up, but tears literally streaming down my face, at the most unpredictable moments.

I thought the many tragic things I've seen, and stories I've heard, had drained my lifetime supply of tears many years ago. They hadn't.

Mandell's style is deceptively simple, and remarkably touching. He guides the reader into an often forgotten territory... hope.

I can't recommend his book highly enough.

When I finished reading this book, my first thought was 'Who will discuss this book with me?'  Every page opened my eyes to another world.  Every story made me more and more grateful of the evidently plush life I've led as a middle-class American.  This is one of those books I want to highly recommend, but as much as it's changed my outlook, I can't recommend it to just anybody.  I honestly think everyone needs to read it, but it's graphic nature (at points), and the fact that's it's narrated by children is almost too much to handle some times.  I realize it's fiction, but it's probably one of the best fiction books I've ever read.

A book I connected with very deeply which came to me at an important stage of my life. After reading the story, I then went back and used the text as a 'workbook' to discover my own path of self-enlightenment. A really excellent book I can't recommend highly enough.

I can't recommend this book highly enough. It's been in print so long that virtually everything that can be said about has been said about it.

That being the case here are my observations.

Don't expect to read this book quickly unless you're already well steeped in Darwinian theory. Be prepared to reread paragraphs to make sure you grasp their meaning. Some concepts are difficult to grasp. Dawkins realizes this (from personal experience, no doubt) and does repeat himself often but probably not often enough. Try to read this book at least a chapter at a time. This is not the kind of book you can stop at any point and easily pick it up again days later.

This is the type of book that requires a great deal of engagement on the part of the reader. You have to do a lot of thinking. In many respects Darwin is as hard to get one's arms around as Einstein.

In short, you'll get something out of this book only if you're prepared to invest something into it.

A breathtaking read-as all of Alice Hoffman's books are. I read this book in one sitting. It is poignant, poetic and just so imaginative. I cannot recommend this book highly enough.

I can't recommend this book highly enough. A must read for any serious minded Christian seeking to live a biblically based life in the midst of the frenzied pace of modern society. Scott Comernisky's research and citations are impeccable, and the solid foundation of Scripture is the worldview on which thesis rests. If you are finding less and less time for the things that matter most in your life (God and family) and feel like you can't get off the world's treadmill, this book will show you the way.

This book is so embracing, so real, so welcoming, so literary, that I cannot recommend it enough. Nor am I happy I finished it. I will re read it probably. It deserves a second reading, it's that good.

I really cannot recommend this book highly enough. It was the best book I read this year. I was challenged and encouraged throughout every chapter to get outside of myself in various areas of life. I have no doubt I will re-read this book many times. I've recommended to many friends. The focus on self is so pervasive in our society; this book came at just the right time.

I can't recommend this book enough. The importance of empathy, friendship, and community come to life in this beautifully written story narrated by a wise old tree and featuring a cast of lovable characters. This book will open the door to difficult conversations about what it truly means to embrace others, and what we can do to right the wrongs we see in the world. My eleven-year-old daughter and I loved this book.

I am not a huge fan of the genre of "self-help". In the past I have found that I read three pages and know the rest of this book. Not so in this short, concise, enthralling, and accessible book. I can open to any chapter and I am engaged in the narrative between people. The advice is simple, practical, yet hits me in a way I had not had access too. The advice comes from all types of people and not just a doctor or psychologist. I cannot recommend this book enough. I purchased it years ago, and come back to it over and over.

I could not recommend this book more highly. It's one of those books that you don't want to put down!
