Personal Development Books

This book is a "must" read for young adults/families and parents who wish to educate their children in the crucial and time proven concept of having a roadmap to financial security.

As Mr. Doniger points out, gone are the days of guarantees for one's retirement. His strategy is sound, easy to follow, and does not require significant starting funds.

Start early - start now, follow his model, and insure that you and, most importantly, your children's future will result in quality of life - for life!

This is a great book for professors and teachers to use in high school, community college, and college classroom settings offering courses on investments and financial planning!

A Common Sense Road Map To Uncommon Wealth: The Key to Achieving Financial Success

Doniger's investment thinking will make sense to just about anyone. Following his recommendations have made a significantly positive impact on my retirement funds. Read it, follow his advice and you too may finally understand the inner secrets of positive investment strategies.

I've used this book or versions of it for a couple of years now...I've often been asked in regular science education classes or in neuroscience or biology situations, "How do we make this stuff accessible to those with disabilities?" Thank heavens for all the tremendous work done by this group and other innovative inventors who strive to put Deaf people like me and those with learning, visual, and orthopedic disabilities on an equal footing with everyone else. This book has more than served its purpose and paid back its price many times over. Teachers and professors are always amazed at the amount of work that is ongoing in this area, as well as the amount of money out there for developing computer technology for the disabled through the National Science Foundation, the Department of Education, and the National Institute of Health, as well as individual companies.

We will never make this country totally computer literate if we exclude specific populations. As the push for inclusion of students with disabilities in regular schools and acceptance of these students becomes stronger, it is absolutely critical that teachers be aware of both hardware and software that can make their curriula more accessible to both disabled and 'normal' students.

I fully endorse and encourage teaching universities and educators and librarians to make sure an updated version of this book is made available so that all students have an opportunity to achieve their highest abilities. Karen Sadler Science Education, University of Pittsburgh

Painter's view that we won't change our bodies until the underlying subconscious pattern is changed is the key to health! I also like his ideas on "the give and take of sharing" during a session. A practitioner must reveal personal parts of themselves to bring about a genuine change in the client. The book outlines the basics of structural integration "recipe".

This book was a very good one. Anyone who has read books by Reich, Lowen, or Ida Rolf will find this to be very interesting and a must for ones library. Jack Painter combines Wilhelm Reich's and Ida Rolf's ideas and others and explains very "clearly" from his own experiance how he finds these methods work together. Those who have an interest in psychology and/or bodywork will find much within the pages of this book! I found it very good and suggest it to anyone with an interest in these areas and in learning more about how working with the body and the mind together can bring about change within the person!

Passed E20-120 with great score. As intermediate-level Documentum
professional I found the E20-120 exam very challenging and your book was
enormously helpful during my prep time. All in all, I have found your set of questions very brain teasing, rich and well thought.

Being under pressure to deliver and meet company's deadline it was essential to effectively bridge conflicting demands (work, family) and outperform when it is needed the most. Your book evidently boosted my performance. Furthermore, your book revealed many bottlenecks in my knowledge and significantly helped me to eliminate them, one by one, in time effective way. What I fancied was your clear, concise, focused writing style and the content of the book structured in manageable and digestible chunks. Of course, it is an extra effort to study in the evening but it pays off and now I am motivated to go
for E20-405.
Pawan, keep up the good work!

This book is a great introduction and overview of the Documentum platform. I wish I had something like this available when I started working with Documentum years ago. It not only introduces Documentum concepts to beginners, but it also serves as an excellent study guide for those wanting to become Documentum certified. It can also be an excellent reference book for even experienced Documentum users and administrators.
It is easy to read, with helpful self test questions at the end of every chapter.

This is a beautiful production, easy to read and with lots of superb photo illustrations. The content is very accurate, with just enough detail to establish the author's credibility and knowledge of the subject.
We will treasure this book for years to come.
Great service also - book arrived to the bottom of the world within a few days and in sperb condition.

This book is for you if you are interested in dowsing especially for health issues
as well as to find energy patterns of human beings and earth.

You will find a good base of information on how to start to dowse with a pendulum, and some sections
will explain how to work with dowsing rods, especially helpful in case of searching for energy lines.
Included in the book are 3 or 4 charts, and also an explanation on how to do blind dowsing (which
can be really helpful in health related topics).

The book covers a wide range of information about dowsing, but what makes his entire value
is all the information contained beside. Information about the state of mind of the individual,
the diet, vitamins and minerals, allergies, aromatherapy, flower essences, the life path,
channeling healing energy, the subtle body and the chakras, the role of the spine hands and feet,
absent healing, earth energie and the spirit of place, and the power centers are just to name some of the few
interesting topics covered in the book.

The author of the book, Patrick MacManaway, is a professional dowser with an international practice and reputation. He is a Vice-President of the Society
of british dowser.

Hello the book DREAM ACHIEVERS is good for anyone no matter whether they are in network marketing or just trying to make their singing career take off.This is a very inspirational book and I suggest that anyone buy and read this book for their own personal inspiration. Help your dreams take flight. Maybe you too will find your own pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.In this book it tells all the how to's in the network marketing business and it has proved to be very helpful so far. Read it I'm sure that you will love it

Dream Achievers is for the veteran Network Marketer that wants to be able to enlighten the most uniformed skeptic as well as challenge the brand new representative. After reading the 50 short stories two or three times, I began taking the book with me on appointments. I have highlighted key sentences in most of the stories that I wanted to have prospects read. Then I put tabs on those pages with words such as: "Teens"; $200K - 1st Year; or $100K per month on the labels. This book helps eliminate the first half of the objection - Network Marketing Doesn't Work because you have 50 stories to prove otherwise, the other half of the objection, I don't have confidence in myself to do this is between you and the prospect to overcome. If you purchase this book to only set on your coffee table and read a key story when you might be feeling sorry for yourself, it is worth every penny. But it is better shared than stored. Every serious marketer needs this book!

Freud is the father of modern psychology and he established the psychoanalytical point of view. No one who is not well grounded in Freudian lore can hope to achieve any work of value in the field of psychoanalysis.

The publishers of the present book deserve credit for presenting to the reading public the gist of Freud's psychology in the master's own words, and in a form which shall neither discourage beginners, nor appear too elementary to those who are more advanced in psychoanalytic study.
Dream psychology is the key to Freud's works and to all modern psychology.

Freud's theories are anything but theoretical.
He was moved by the fact that there always seemed to be a close connection between his patients' dreams and their mental abnormalities, to collect thousands of dreams and to compare them with the case histories in his possession.
He did not start out with a preconceived bias, hoping to find evidence which might support his views. He looked at facts a thousand times "until they began to tell him something." His attitude toward dream study was, in other words, that of a statistician who does not know, and has no means of foreseeing, what conclusions will be forced on him by the information he is gathering, but who is fully prepared to accept those unavoidable conclusions.
This was indeed a novel way in psychology.

Five facts of first magnitude were made obvious to the world by his interpretation of dreams.
First of all, Freud pointed out a constant connection between some part of every dream and some detail of the dreamer's life during the previous waking state. This positively establishes a relation between sleeping states and waking states and disposes of the widely prevalent view that dreams are purely nonsensical phenomena coming from nowhere and leading nowhere.
Secondly, Freud, after studying the dreamer's life and modes of thought, after noting down all his mannerisms and the apparently insignificant details of his conduct which reveal his secret thoughts, came to the conclusion that there was in every dream the attempted or successful gratification of some wish, conscious or unconscious.
Thirdly, he proved that many of our dream visions are symbolical, which causes us to consider them as absurd and unintelligible; the universality of those symbols, however, makes them very transparent to the trained observer.
Fourthly, Freud showed that sexual desires play an enormous part in our unconscious, a part which puritanical hypocrisy has always tried to minimize, if not to ignore entirely.
Finally, Freud established a direct connection between dreams and insanity, between the symbolic visions of our sleep and the symbolic actions of the mentally deranged.

...The publishers of the present book deserve credit for presenting to the reading public the gist of Freud's psychology in the master's own words, and in a form which shall neither discourage beginners, nor appear too elementary to those who are more advanced in psychoanalytic study.

Dream psychology is the key to Freud's works and to all modern psychology. With a simple, compact manual such as Dream Psychology there shall be no longer any excuse for ignorance of the most revolutionary psychological system of modern times...

...Sigmund Freud's (1856-1939) attitude toward dream study was, in other words, that of a statistician who does not know, and has no means of foreseeing, what conclusions will be forced on him by the information he is gathering, but who is fully prepared to accept those unavoidable conclusions.

"Economic freedom is an essential requisite for political freedom". That quote from Milton and Rose Friedman is the essential reason why "Free To Choose" should be required reading for all Americans in high school! This book makes a powerful and persuasive argument in favor of a free market economy. Written in a very lucid style "Free To Choose" makes the usually dry subject of economics easily understandable and a pleasure to read. The "Power Of The Market" chapter shows how free markets work and why they are essential for human freedom. "Tyranny Of Control" chapter explains why trade restrictions and subsidies backfire. The "Freedom And Prosperity" chapter examines what the dramatic experience in Eastern Europe reveals about bureaucrats and markets. The "Created Equal" chapter shows how markets promote justice. Simply said, this book tackles economic issues that are as timely today as they were when the Friedman's wrote about them in 1979.

As a retired Army officer and student of political philosophy, I found "Free To Choose" a great book for anyone who wants to understand basic economic theory.

No book better expresses the connection between personal freedom and a strong economy. In this text Capitalism is seen as a positive driving force. Should be required college reading in any economics class.

This exceptionally well crafted book fills a unique need by detailing not just the 'how' of sales, but the 'why.'
I have studied, taught, and practiced professional sales for many years, and I am very impressed with Frank's coverage of the world's most important, challenging, and rewarding profession.

I highly recommend reading the book--and spending as much time with Frank as possible--to anyone ready to work and grow into The Greatest Job they'll ever have.

There are so many "jobs books" out there that you would think it had all been said before. But it hadn't. Not until Frank Felker decided to tackle the topic in "The Greatest Job You Never Thought Of" had I ever read a book that focuses exclusively on sales jobs -- how to search for one, how to win one, and how to sell successfully once you get one.

One strength of this book compared to others in the "jobs" category is that it is focused on helping you rethink your view of sales careers, and then it shows you how to take advantage of the opportunities in this in-demand, lucrative profession. Most other competing books tell you about many types of jobs, but they never show you how to succeed in them if and when you get a job. Also, other jobs books lay out so many career options for the reader that many people become paralyzed by all the choices and never benefit from these books at all. This is certainly not this case here. Mr. Felker is upfront with the reader that this is a book exclusively about selling for a career. He's honest and realistic about what the selling profession is and isn't. He tells you that sales is not for everyone, but that its benefits might be unknown to people who have traditionally stayed away from it. He will change your view of sales for the better.

This book will entice and motivate reluctant salespeople, but it will not do so by promising the reader that finding good sales jobs is easy (only that they're abundant), or that sales is the fast road to riches (but that it is very possible to become a high earner in sales). It will entice readers to consider the profession because Mr. Felker writes from his own experiences and he gives readers a step-by-step plan for succeeding.

If you're considering changing careers or have ever considered giving sales a shot, don't do anything until you've read "The Greatest Joh You Never Thought Of". It's a practical handbook that will put you on the path to a successful sales career. It just might be the best pocket change you ever spent.
