Quick, important read

This book contains information that is not widely known but which is widely needed! Far more than a book about foot pain, this book could be thought of as an intro level user's manual to the body.  I have had a longtime interest in health and fitness, yet this book contained information that I had never heard before, and which has impacted many of my lifestyle behaviors.  I am very eager for the next work by the talented scientist-author!

The art of community is a quick and enlightening read. First, the author highlights how he felt disconnect from having a sense of community and how we have all felt like that. He then expounds more the importance of community, especially in day where our relationships are growing further apart.

I would say that the book is essential for anyone looking to be an influential member of society. It talks about a lot of ideas and principles that seem common sense, but the author does a great job of defining them and showing how many of our communities do not do the things that would enable them to flourish.

Personally, I found applications to my personal life, workplace, family, and spiritual life. It gave me a new excitement to be a "leader" within the communities I am a part of, and to do some of the essential things in other communities to make sure they are flourishing.

The book is a quick but important read. Would surely recommend others' attention to this body of work. It is important for generations to understand the beginnings of "white framing."

As someone who frequently reads books on Austrian economics and libertarian philosophy, I certainly appreciate books (i.e Human Action) that get into all sorts of nuance and minutiae, but there's also a place for shorter run-throughs of important, relevant subjects (such as the focus of Matt's book).

That said, I found this to be a quick, enlightening read. Before going in, I already agreed with the conclusion, but this book has given me even more argumentative ammunition when I inevitably end up in a future debate with someone who subscribes to the "equality" agenda. There were also a couple of HUGELY important points that he made, namely his discussion regarding the fallacious gender wage gap, as well as the monopolistic judicial system potentially being the worst Constitutional monopoly.

I highly recommend this book.

A quick, insightful read that empathizes with the leader. The leadership stories alone were worth the read. You will be encouraged.

This was so helpful at just the right time. It's short, quick and easy to read, for when your mind has trouble focusing on anything. It was like a gentle reminder to stay in the present moment with the heartache, and offered many helpful tips to support the process of healing. Recommended for the first phase of the breakup process.

This is a good, quick overview of pregnancy, with common information, as well as good insight that isn't as frequently heard. It gives you a realistic idea of what to expect. Its concise, so even husbands might be interested in giving it a quick read.

It's not as much about sports as it is about drinking, but both topics were covered honestly.  A good, quick read.

Mackin's book provides a concise assemblage of historical events which contribute to the current state of economic affairs. It seems to be not meant to be political, but rather points out the urgent need for a new set of priorities so as to stabilize and improve the American economy. Mackin's view is valuable when determining what each of us can do to right the national ship. I'm recommending the book to my friends who care about the country, and aren't too "busy" to ignore their opportunity/responsibility.

This book is a very short read. It does however give a lot of food for thought as to what is really important in life. Also the influence we have on other people's lives even when we don't realize it.

I received this book as a gift and read it while on a business trip. It is a brief book, which is a strength. It can be read quickly while still providing a sense that you are getting just enough information to understand the key points of the book.

The purpose of A Better Life is to introduce readers to a process that leads to increased self-awareness and to an action plan for achieving one's goals. The author does this effectively through well written explanations of each step, followed by practical activities such as identifying core values, imagining a perfect day in your life, and identifying priorities.

This is a book that requires commitment from the reader. If you are willing to actually take action to discover your purpose, then this book is for you. It has several brief self-awareness activities that must/should be completed in order for the book to serve its purpose. I did several of the activities and it was a bit of a wake up call as it forced me to reflect on what I value and on what makes me happy- flying through turbulence while doing the activities also brings these topics into sharp focus.

This book was definitely a good read. Not too much and not too little, but just the right amount of information to get you on a path to a better life.

It is a light read, it is a quick read, but as a story filled with provocative insight and inspirational moments, it is an important read.

Good, not great. Quick and easy read. Some points are obvious and oversimplified but overall this is an insightful book.

Quick, easy, but insightful read. I've had a lot of light bulb moments while reading. Chapters are very short and concise, but definitely worth the read and a book that you can refer to for many years to come. Great addition to the bookshelf.

Karen Ross's "Gender, Politics, News: A Game of Three Sides" was a quick read for me. It may be that I'm fairly familiar with the subject matter but I also felt that Ms Ross has an easy to access writing style that made for quick reading. The effect of how gender, politics and media/news intersect seems a well covered topic but Ross presents it in a way that refreshes, reminds, and reiterates the issues for those familiar and brings to light to those who may not be as familiar. It is a fascinating and frustrating situation and Ms Ross does well at illustrating it.

In these info overloaded days, a book should not be any longer than is necessary, and this book is also mercifully short saving us and the author time and hits the point immediately. Much of the techniques stated in the book, you may already know, but to be put into a concentrated form and delivered with urgency and concision, just might get you to take action to tame your inbox this time. Two of the biggest benefits to me personally, so far, have been to set up VIP inboxes and to give up the unachievable goal of "Inbox Zero". I felt my life improve almost immediately afterwards and asked myself "Why didn't I do this sooner?" The parts about email etiquette didn't help me as much, but they are still excellent advice. This book is well worth the attention you give to it, and I think the writer has great respect for the busy modern reader. Recommended!
