Sociology of the best kind

Revisado: 04-13-21

This book offered deep insight into the phenomenon of the movement of blacks from the south to the north trying to escape Jim Crow. The story is told through the lens of the individual stories of thrèe migrants, but the phenomenon itself is well described and analyzed.

Amazing

Revisado: 03-23-21

As the parent of able bodIed kids and grandkids, I was brought to a fuller appreciation of the miracles of birth and development by this book and this writer. Another reviewer was disappointed by the shortage of tips for parenting the different child. I view this book as a way to build the emotional foundation on which all parenting must be based.

A Bit Too Much Self Help for Me

Revisado: 09-25-20

I chose this book to increase my acquaintance with this powerful therapeutic approach. It did not disappoint, but I found the self help exercises a distraction. Perhaps another of Hayes's books would have been a better choice. This book had the advantage of being very current and addressing the wide range of situations in which ACT can be helpful.

Upbeat in spite of the end.

Revisado: 09-03-20

This is the memoir of a noble person, told with humility and honesty. The narration in part by the author adds poignancy to the memoir. Alec Trebek, the host of the Jeopardy quiz show for 36 years, shares highlights of his life, motivated by his diagnosis with pancreatic cancer. He is open, honest, and he has something to say. There is much to learn from him.
