Wonderful, clear and easily understood for all ages. This is a fresh approach to the epidemic dilemma of what we really need and what we want. The book presents a priceless opportunity to instruct our children and ourselves about what is important.

This Qur'an is easy to understand and uses clear English too. It was translated well and I would advice others to get this version since it's closer to the translated words and easy for folks to understand the points being made to humanity. No confusion whatsoever. Buy it!

I loved this book because it explains in simple, easy to understand language the complex topic of subconscious programming.  The stories and examples clarify the concepts and the author's wonderful sense of humor allows the information to get through to me.  Dr. Rodger's obvious thorough understanding of her subject allows her to explain it clearly.  I'm going to recommend it to all my friends.

Extremely useful information and wording was so easy to understand. I really enjoyed the positive feelings which overwhelmed my perception of this book. Can't wait to use what I've learned from this marvelous book.

This book does an amazing job of CLEARLY explaining the philosophies of the preeminent modern philosophers (and a few earlier ones as well).  It's wonderful how it's written in plain english -- all too rare in philosophy books.  But it's also written on a high level and doesn't "dumb down" anything.  Both this book and Magee's similar "Talking Philosophy" (focusing on more recent philosophers) are highly recommended.

So glad I read this book. Ive been meditating on and off since I finished my Yoga Teacher Training at the end of 2016.

My experience with meditation in the yoga world has been much more spiritual, ethereal, and not very specific in true instruction.

What I appreciate about the book is it provides a very clear, not overly spiritual nor overly scientific, explanation about exactly HOW and WHY meditation and mindfulness work.

In addition, it gives clear instruction on how to begin and how to overcome the inevitable obstacles when they present.

In the yoga world you are maybe given different anchors or positions to sit in, but never really given any explanation on how exactly how you are supposed to get better; just keep practicing. And while practice doesnt hurt, it is still helpful to be armed with tools for overcoming obstacles that may be blocking your progress.

I also think it is really accessible for those who want to start meditating but have zero background knowledge. Readers don't have to come to the table with anything!

I find Jay Michaelson's writing a pleasure to read. He's very clear and easy to understand. And he adds just enough personal details and autobiographical anecdotes to introduce himself to the reader as compassionate and sensitive. He comes across as a good man whose thoughts and arguments we ought to listen to.

  God vs. Gay? makes the sensible argument that Judeo-Christian morality with all its emphasis on compassion, love of neighbor, help for strangers should naturally be open to understanding and accepting LGBT people. What can it mean to "love your neighbor" if you discriminate against people for simply being who they truly are and telling the truth about that?

  Michaelson very thoroughly explains the various supposedly anti-gay verses in the Scriptures. He writes from a highly-educated Jewish context, and explains the stories in Genesis and rules in Leviticus better than I've ever come across. And because he is a wise and broad-thinking eclectic, he can write about the Christian Scriptures as well. And then go beyond the words of any particular tradition to the "real meaning" of all religious teaching.

  This is a VERY good book for preparing yourself for a Biblical argument with an anti-gay opponent in a debate or with a confused and upset parent who only wants the best for their child AND needs to understand what's in the Bible and religious teachings.

  Especially for those with Biblical convictions who want to find the true meaning of the text, this is a wonderful introduction to the religion-and-homosexuality issue.

I can't say enough about how wonderful this book is and how helpful it has been in my line of work. What a breath of fresh air. I found this material to provide the clarity and understanding I was looking for and very easy to read. I even bought a copy for the staff to start reading with the hopes of some changes within the system I work in. Right now I am starting with myself.

My husband and I read this book with a group of friends. It was well explained, fair to both partners,and wonderfully easy to apply to real life. I would have to say the greatest thing about this book was how well the author understood me as a woman as well as marriage relationships in general. In the group of us who read this our ages differed vastly as well as the amount of time all of us had spent being married, all of found this book to be wonderfully helpful. I have recommended the book to others and will continue doing so.

This is a clear, simple, but thoroughly absorbing and enjoyable introduction to what Catholics believe and why -- and how to live our faith joyfully in daily life instead of just talking about it.  A great

What a wonderful book. Very easy to read; the main idea presented was simple, and something I've heard before, but never presented with such clarity. This time it actually effected change in my life, rather than an intellectual debate! This book facilitated developing greater clarity about what's really important in my life, why, and what I need to do in order to ensure I'm on track to fulfill these goals. Enjoy!

This is a wonderful clear, accessible and short guide to a form of meditation said to have been practiced by the Buddha in his search and ultimate attainment of enlightened awakening. Sometimes called Insight meditation, it's probably one of the purest forms of meditation where nothing but a focused mind is required (no music, candles, mantras or any form of external stimuli). The instructions are step by step and easy to follow, as the title implies, by anyone: no previous experience of meditation or mental training is required or needed. I like that the author doesn't spend unnecessary words explaining the background, history, theories or methodologies regarding this and other forms of meditation, which can amply be found elsewhere. If you're ready to "just do it," then this is the guide for you.

This book is absolutely wonderful.  I haven't finished reading it yet, but I am enjoying the sound, logical answers it provides to the sometimes difficult questions posed by unbelievers and even some Christians.  I will be keeping this as a reference book and it provides tips to communicating and evangelizing to unbelievers. The authors provide clear and well reasoned answers to the questions without being pedantic. Even though this book was noted as "used", it was very nearly new with only a few pages having highlighted sections by the previous owner.  The cover was in great shape, as were the pages.  I don't have one single complaint about the book itself or the contents.

I've spent years thinking that I should get around to meditating, and then I read this wonderful book. The simplicity of its message, its well-organized format, as well as the gentle, kindly guidance, does precisely what I'd intended; meditate and be mindful.

Using a clear, concise, non-nonsense style, the author does an outstanding job, making a wide-range of meditation-related information easily accessible. Surprisingly, Gabriel Constans includes material suitable for a broad range of meditation practices, be the reader a teacher of meditation, or a newbie. In particular, I like that the material is chunked-down into manageable, bite-size pieces; this makes the wealth of information easy to assimilate. As a result, I often refer back to read more.

I highly recommend this book; the benefits to your life just might be incalculable!

The explanation of the 3 modes of thinking about arithmetic is excellent.  By far the clearest I have ever seen, and makes sense with what I have seen.  I has already helped me understand my child's approach to math.  Although kids now seem to learn more and faster than before, so this book may no longer cover K - 3rd grade (unless you are home schooling and hold the pace). It is well worth more than the ... price.  28 pages.  clearly written.

I have read many accounting books but am using this one for my intro to accounting course because I wanted a refresher. It is the most clear and understandable that I have come across. I would highly recommend this book to people who aren't necessarily wanting to get a CPA but need to know enough accounting for say Financial, Planning and Analysis positions.
