Easy to Follow. But, Many Mispronunciations.

Revisado: 11-27-23

The words and sentences are easy to follow, not too boring or dry. But, there are many, many mispronunciations, surprisingly. I'm really surprised this got published this way! Also, I wish, that they'd repeat the noted, important words that are likely to be on the test. Versus, saying it after the sentence it's used in, and, not repeating the word.

Inspiring

Revisado: 12-07-22

How to love yourself, and not to live in fear. Teaches you to look within, and not to try so hard to adjust to society, when it’s so limiting. Love starts within.

Funny, Quirky, Observant

I always enjoy David Sedaris. I liked that this was a long book, lasted longer. Except for political entries, though.

Very Helpful Book on What to Watch Out for...

Revisado: 09-30-20

By the title, I was afraid this was a sinister book. But, it's basically a guide book on how to tell if someone is manipulating you in various ways. It's good at pointing out all the ways that people can manipulate you, and how to protect yourself. It doesn't condone this behavior.

Very Helpful Advice for Keeping One's Cool

Revisado: 09-27-20

I happened to receive this book at just the right time. When, "helpful" friends, where giving me lots of harmful advice on how to handle a situation, including that I should be tougher, meaner, etc. This book helps one to keep their cool when addressing stressful situations. Keeping yourself in the driver's seat, and not getting upset. But, handling things smoothly. And, realizing what you can and can't control. Helped me in dealing more calmly with a painful, confrontational situation. And by ignoring other peoples' advice, that was only stirring up more drama, emotion, and less control of the situation.

I liked James Taylor's candor, honesty and openness in his memoir. I hope he writes a longer version.

Nutrition Information That Appears Slanted

Revisado: 11-15-19

The author seems to have an agenda to get people to avoid dairy and meat, and to switch to a plant based diet. Seems like many studies that he includes in the book are to push this agenda. As a fan of Dr. Weston A. Price, Sally Fallon, who stress traditional, ancestral diets, I started to find this book tiring, like I was being preached to. For example, he recommends GMO soy products to women to help prevent breast cancer (and recommends soy to all people). Other articles, that I've read, show that soy is a major hormone disruptor. The author says how harmful poultry and meats are for the body. Because of the harmful things that the livestock consume like a poor diet, chemicals and toxins. But, you could also argue that if animals are raised in a healthy, humane way, that meat will be in turn be healthy. For example, eating 100% grass-fed, pasture raised, organic beef of cattle raised on small, non-industrial farms. He quotes a lot of studies. But, why not look at traditional diets more, like the Dr. Weston A. Price foundation does.
