I enjoyed this book when I read it and have given copies to friends and family to read. Take out the nonsense areas like its all your fault when something major goes wrong .... scary statement indeed, and some of it makes sense. You can have so much more in life and all it takes is focus and belief ... if you can truly beleive it, you can acheive it. So much of this is taken out of context and without the incredible power that comes from the great master himself Napoleon Hill. I would urge you to read or listen to the 6 set cd series by napeleon hill ... Tony Robins and so many others have learnt and preach his teachings from almost 100 years ago ... it is the real thing !! The Science of Personal Acheivement. Its called. Its the real ... Read More:

I was quite apprehensive about weaning before I started; I didn't have a clue how or what to start with. So I decided to purchase this book, and was so glad with my purchase. It gives great guidleines on the weaning process, which many simple to cook recipes and ideas. I don't know how I would've coped without this book!

This book was actually an enjoyable read. It is witty and humorous, though, as other reviewers point out, Taleb is basically infatuated with himself. But in spite of enjoying the intellectual challenges he throws at you throughout the book, I have to say that there is little real substance here. Why? Because his black swan is a dying duck. He argues that there is such a class of events as black swans - that is to say totally unpredicted events. But that "class" of events doesn't exist. Each one event that is unpredicted is a unique event and shares no common features with other such events apart from unexpectedness. He argues that the future can't be predicted accurately (well we all know that, and all too well, often from bitter experience). ... Read More:

I felt I really needed a bit of a pick me up after my wife ran off with her therapist so decided to give this a whizz.
I met some bloke at a works do who could do hypnotism so had him come round and give me the once over in preparation for my mental exercises.
Normally I like to listen to whale noises and the sounds of the ocean to relax but he didn't have this so he chloraformed me instead.
I awoke some 18 hours later, rather bizarely I was completely naked except for a pair of ladies stockings and a suspender belt. I have looked through Paul McKennas' book and can't find any mention of this, I certainly don't recall ever wearing this type of thing before, in fact the hypnotist must have brought them with him as there was none of that sort of thing ...

I'm no expert on cbt or any type of psychology and I'm always slightly wary. CBT, however, was recommended to me by a psychologist to assist me to help my client group - troubled young people. I love the 'for Dummies' series as they are really easy to read but provide you with quite a broad knowledge for a layman. There is a wealth of sound practical advice in this book for everybody and I can't believe how much I'm learning about myself and my incorrect thinking and its effects. This book requires a lot of concentration (although the style of writing is easy) and effort to think the material through and also to complete the exercises but it really is life-changing. I don't know if it works really well for serious mental health problems but it is certainly working ... Read More:

I think when some people read the book they mistakenly perceive the book as a set of rules that must be followed to the letter. It isn't. It's a simple and clear set of guidelines that helps your baby to find a natural and balanced rhythm.

We followed the book carefully with our little one and it wasn't a case of rigid timelines in the slightest. We have a very happy, healthy, contented baby who from the age of 6ms year was sleeping (happily) from 7pm to 7am. She knows her meal times (yes the Gina Ford weaning book is also fabulous) and the difference between a lighter day time nap and night time sleep.

By following these simple guidelines you can ensure you have a contented baby.

I would also recommend the Contented Baby website ... Read More:

Having just purchased McKenna's Change Your life in 10 Days, i gave this book a whirl.
Would you like to eat whatever you want and still lose weight? Not possible (sorry).
Would you like to feel happy with your body? Its possible.
Are you unable to lose those last 2 stone? Its possible.
Do you get disheartened about your eating habits?

Well then, read this bookreview and save your cash.
Stop eating unhealthy foods; eat fruit and vegetables. Quit the booze. Cycle to work everyday; go for a walk after dinner every evening instead of watching BB or Eastenders. Do not go to the Gym. Going to the Gym is a waste of time; jog to the Supermarket instead and carry your shopping home. You'd be amazed how much exercise you can do if you avoid using ... Read More:

This book is bloody ace. I went mad and bought 4 pregnancy books but this one is by far the clearest, most sensible, most reassuring, best laid out, most informative and least patronising of the lot. This is my first pregnancy and I live abroad so need as much info as possible about what's happening to me and my baby and this is just brilliant - totally indispensable. If you're going to buy a pregnancy book - just buy this one, you won't need any others.

Unfortunately i had a fever during my first trimester and without this book i would never have known whether calling the doctor was the right or wrong thing to do (it;s the right thing to do) - I can't praise this book enough.

This is the book to turn to after a long day at work, but you want something tasty for dinner.Put away the takeaway menus, almost all the dishes in this book are quicker and tastier.Not to mention a whole lot better for you.Stock up with a few essentials, follow the recipies, and you can have great food on the table, and still have time to "play".
Excellent
