Another Riveting Historical Masterpiece by Martin Dugard

Revisado: 09-21-24

The author’s writing is visual and crisp. His words efficiently form short sentences, creating an engaging staccato rhythm when spoken by the narrator. My favorite line is during the German bombing of London: ‘The Prime Minister needed a nap and a cigar.’ One of the things that impresses me about all of this author’s books is the attention to detail, which brings history to life in a very personal way. He must spend hours and hours researching. Even if you are not a history buff, the stories told in the book’s pages make it seem like you are watching a movie.

What an Unexpected Book

Revisado: 08-03-24

This story brilliantly captured the merging of two worlds that I would not have “top of mind” put together — cooking and science. I loved the social commentary of the time as well.

Worthwhile read even for experienced meditators

Revisado: 09-30-19

I have been meditating for a number of years. I teach meditation as well. Even for someone like myself, I found this book to be a worthwhile read. If you already know the concepts presented in this book, it is a good reminder of them. If you are new to the practice, this is a good introduction.

Need A Tough Love Life Coach? Read This Book

Revisado: 04-23-19

If you want an inspiring coach who will kick your ass in the locker room before you go out and play, and you want it in the context of a book, then read these pages. As an avid reader/listener of self-help books, I agree with the author’s premise that to have the life you want 1) you need to change your thoughts at the level of your subconscious mind, 2) you are what you do versus what you think, and 3) you need to stop thinking and instead do, so you can change your life at the subconscious level.

Great motivational concepts. Constructive feedback: I would have appreciated a little more about ‘how to’ go about achieving points one through three. This book would be a good companion to Jen Sincero’s “You Are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life

Deceptively Insightful

Revisado: 04-22-19

You might be inclined to dismiss this book because of its humorous and irreverent approach. However, that would be a mistake. In other words, don’t judge this book by its cover. Jen Sincero offers some insightful suggestions on how to get over yourself and move on with living the life you want. I have been studying success and happiness for over a decade, and many of the thoughts, ideas, and methods put forth in these pages do work. If you buy into the Law Attraction, if you like the writings of Gabrielle Bernstein and Elizabeth Gilbert, you will enjoy this book.

An Open and Fresh Perspective

Thank you, Michelle Obama, for sharing such a candid, intimate and vulnerable look at your life growing up, meeting your husband, and ‘becoming’ the First Lady of our country. This book is truly inspirational.
