Way Books

I started this book on a Monday and was finished by Wednesday! I then went back through the book page by page and followed all of the instructions. This book is exactly what I have been looking for to take control of my career and to get more out of my career than financial compensation. The book helped me focus in on what I wanted and what I could offer. It made the huge task of "taking on my career" into meaningful steps and tasks! I am already benefiting from each of the activities. I am a very goal oriented person, so this book helped me develop some important career goals. The book also helped me define and take credit for my strengths!

Having worked with Lisa at 2 different companies I can attest that she "practices what she preaches" and operates with stellar professionalism.

Your Career, Your Way is an excellent guidebook for anyone desiring a successful career. It is written in an easy to read format. The book includes numerous exercises and stories of two individuals as an example to develop your own action plan. I highly recommend it - I am going to refer to this book time and again.

This book is a must read for anyone who needs help figuring out their career path. The easy-to-understand self evaluation and career plan templates are simple to implement and follow and help focus your career toward the next step. Using the product positioning stategy for career development is genius and makes sense.

This book is a great resource for individuals hoping to advance their career. It teaches you to own your career path and direction. The book not only offers advice on how to direct your career or change your direction, it also asks the reader to do simple exercises. These interactive activities will lead to a personalized plan of attack to change, start, or embrace your career path. I strongly recommend this book to anyone looking to make a change or take the first steps to launch a career. The author Lisa Quast does an excellent job engaging the reader in strategic drills and guidance which is translated into specific action for each reader, regardless as to where they are at with their career.

I have always admired Marcia Wallace. Although I was not around to see the original broadcasts of the "Newhart Show", she made a permanent impression on me through the countless hours of reruns that I've seen over the years. She has endlessly been called a 'one trick pony' - inasmuch as she is only really known for one role, that of Carol Kester Bondurant on the "Newhart Show". And Marcia herself admits that she has never really gotten good reviews for any of her other work (save of course for the also iconoclastic Ms. Edna Krubappel voicethrowing that she's done on "The Simpsons" for years.) Nonetheless, the character of Carol was a significant contribution to television history. She was very much her own person, and Marcia's comedic talents made her unforgettable. Carol Burnett, a genius herself, has said that 'if you're too pretty, you can't be a comedian.' Such was the case with Marcia. No, she wasn't that attractive - but she had a perfect look that lent itself perfectly, even if it was only for that one role. She never even had to read for the part - she was hired instantly by MTM Enterprises.

Marcia's life has indeed been a rocky one - and the tone of this book is fine. She's a survivor and she isn't full of self pity. Despite the rags, she's gotten plenty of riches, which included a brief marriage to a man who was very much the one-and-only for her, and a great kid.
However, I think the book overly emphasizes her marriage, the adoption of their son, and her husband's subsequent death. Virtually no details are given about her work on the "Newhart Show", "The Simpsons", or much of anything else. And in that regard, the book is a disappointment.
If these things were added, it would be an absolutely killer book.
Hopefully someday a second edition will be done. Nonetheless, what is presented is a very enjoyable read.

Marcia Wallace-what can be said? She is a woman on the umpteenth wit and full of honesty, always saved from being too sorrowful with her God-given ability to bring humor to situations that would bring the regular person to their knees...but Marcia isn't one of those "regular" people. I love this book because it tells anyone, no matter what circumstances they find themselves in, with a bit of keen-sighted observations and an always open pot of humor, they can achieve all of their dreams one day at a time.

I just finished reading Marcia Wallace's autobiography. This is an incredible read. She opens the door to her life for us as if she were opening the door to her closest confident and friend. I laughed out loud at her many mishaps and cried during the deepest loss a person can experience. This is a great gift for anyone who has had cancer touch his or her life, and who hasn't. It is also a celebration of life, friendship and family. This is a wonderful gift to share with girlfriends of all ages.

This book is NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER material. Marcia Wallace's book is as deeply profound as it is silly. It doesn't matter if nothing or everything has happended to you in your lifetime, you will relate to the humanity in her stories.
The book is bursting with self empowerment and triumph over tragedy and it's one of the funniest books I've ever read.

Look, if everyone who wrote a memoir was a literary writer, would we all be devouring memoirs like we are? Heck no--we've already heard that story. Marcia's story is... well, it's not your typical, 'here's-my-life-as-an-actress' kind of story. Marcia acknowledges indirectly that who we are has a lot to do not only with where we came from but also what we've been through. And heaven knows, she's been through a lot. But somehow she manages to remain a genuinely sincere person who seems to have a rainbow hovering quite near her at all times--something I will now try to be aware of in my own life after reading her book. Unlike many memoirs currently on the market, this is not an outpouring of self-absorbed angst (as it would be if I were writing it). It's a riotous celebration of the absurdity of human life and the power of the human spirit to triumph against all odds. Marcia writes the way she talks, and she's hilariously funny. Buy this book and read it all the way through the next time you have a "life sucks" day. That's my prescription for happiness.

WOW, finally a book that works and makes sense.
Well writen and easy to follow and the exercises work almost instantly. I am not even finished reading it and it has already done wonders for me. No more expensive sleeping pills for me. If you can only sleep 3 or 4 days a week like I do you need this book ASAP.

I found that the excercise techniques are helpful in relaxing my muscle and helps me to fall asleep.
I got my book in a week, I paid regular shipping. The packaging is excellent and the book was in good shape when I got it.

This book is incredible! I was beginning to think that sleeping poorly was a result of getting older(I am in my 30s). Now I know that you can learn to be a good sleeper just like you learn other things! Read it and enjoy.

I first came across this book at 3 am on another insomnia night and was impatient for a solution. I didn't want any more pills that made me feel drugged the next day. I didn't want any more useless sleep hygiene advice, which worked intermittently. I also didn't want to pay $2,000 for a sleep study that would tell me I needed more pills and better sleep hygiene! Having suffered from insomnia for eight years, I was ready for a real solution.

Two things caught my eye about this book. One, a large percentage of the reviewers were medical professionals who used the method in their practices. Two, the book suggested an approach that would actually relax the body and calm the mind, not drug it or try to control everything around it and hope it behaves. This was what I was looking for!

After trying the methods, I can confirm that they work spectacularly; however, I do have a word of caution on the methods. Follow the steps in the book as exactly as possible, and don't go on memory alone when first doing them. Doing them incorrectly--even slightly so--can give you poor results.

I purchased this book after reading the great reviews. It is wordy, poorly written, and gives the impression the author is just making up sleep advice. The medical credentials of the author and the souces are suspect as well (the author lists GCFP after his name...what is that?). If you think yoga may help you relax then this may be for you. If you are looking for a better written book from a scientific rather than spiritual perspective I would recommend "The Insomnia Answer".

this is a must have for studies and for kids to learn the ways of lakota

Mr.Marshall is a superb story-teller and a gifted writer. He brings the twelve spiritual values of the Lakota to life in ways that the reader can not only understand, but relate to and see their meaning to everyday life. His stories of his grandparents alone make this book worth the read. Here is a man who listens and shares what he has learned over the course of a life and through the wisdom of those who came before him.

This is the kind of book that you can pick up and read any story in any order and at any time. The story-telling is vivid and alive and the messages are timeless. This is a book that I would highly recommend for young adults.

This is an excellent book that uses Lakota stories to show a better way of life.

I'm so glad I found this book, it's very much like how my poppy (grandfather) used to tell stories.

Russ really has the ability to not only do but also to concisely and clearly make known what actions to take and not take while building a network marketing organizaton.

Anyone who reads and applies these steps should surely experience success.

THIS BOOK MAKES MY FRIEND CRAZZZY ABOUT MELALEUCA. HE IS A GREAT PERSON AND BELIEVES WITH ALL HIS HEART IN MELALEUCA. I THINK THAT IT IS A GREAT COMPANY AND I WOULD SUGGEST YOU TO INVEST IN ITS PRODUCTS HIS NAME IS ROBERTO ZUNIGA HIS TELEPHONE NUMBER IS 1 631 816 4690 HE WORKS WITH THIS BEST SELLING AUTHOR. GIVE IT A GO AND TRY THIS AMAZING AND UNIQUE CONCEPT.

This is not a feel good book, motivational book, or a book on self improvement. This a book of facts and information, valuable facts and information, that if learned and applied will enable the reader to reach their fianacial goals. Outstanding! It is a must have for anyone wishing to gain have control of where they are going!

I have never been so impressed with a networking 'hands-on' book as I am with "Network your way to Millions" by Russ Paley. In my 14 years as a network marketing trainer I have had the honor of prospecting and helping such greats as Richard Kall, an icon in the industry. Russ has captured the true deliverence for the beginner as well as the seasoned professional in his long overdue masterpiece. Paul Kupetsky aka The Midas Muffler Man.

RUSS GIVES STEP BY STEP INSIGHTN ON THE BUILDING OF A NETWORKING BUSINESS. A MUST FOR ALL LEADERS

Today was a very good day. An ebay order of books arrived, complete
with a copy of this. Something I have been looking to buy for around 15
years, and finally considered this method. Could not believe it. Still
remember reading it, and the cover (Bantam edition with the green
armored pair looking out a cockpit windscreen). A great story or the
horrors of war, death and love, with something greater that has to be
overcome.

It is basically criminal that this is out of print.

I'd be interested to know if Peter F. Hamilton and Richard Morgan have read this, and if it influenced them.

Wolverton's book explores a futuristic world with a great deal more thought and human feeling than is common to the genre. The author's broad experience and philosophical leanings lend the prose greater intellectual weight, and the characters are believable and compelling. Highly recommended.

I read this novel after reading review by Orson Scott Card praising it highly. It is my favorite sci-fi novel of all time.
It is powerfully psychological,clearly influenced by Phillip K Dick, but it is also marvelous for its "hard" technical content, as well as very intellectual in the way the hero examines the moral questions of his world. Plot is also handled very well, with lots of violent action, and images which are simply unforgettable. How can this be a first novel? It is moving on every level and I consider it a masterpiece.

The other reviews have pretty much covered this book. It is five stars all the way. Its one of those books that you look back longingly on, almost fifteen years old now, I remember a day when I was much younger, and the world still exciting and new. Im sure you all have books that stay with you like that. It evokes great memories from a great time to be in college (early 90's). Anyway, the question is, will Dave Wolverton ever write a sequel? Will he ever write under his real name? Or write true sci-fi, not just star wars young adult trash? I sure hope he does. Dave, if you ever read this, please return to the world you created in "Paradise!"

Hello:

This book is everything the "positive reviews" above say, and more. From the first page, until the last paragraph, to the last three words of that last page, this book will awe, inspire, and haunt you in ways few other books ever will. It is a work of science fiction genuis that has been totally over looked and neglected for far too long. And that is a shame. This book should have won Hugo and Nebula and Campbell. Sadly it did not, as the politics of the day in the Sci Fi community were decidedly "anti-war" in any way when it was on the shelves.

It is long past over do for a new printing, (but better cover plz)

Like one reviewer above, I found six copies of this book at a book store and I bought them all. And I proceeded to hand em out, along with A.A Attanasios Radix. What a good year for books that was. Paradise and Radix combined could ruin you for other books for years to come. It's impossible to top this kind of quality. But back to this book...

You are unlikely to find this books equal on any shelf today. The new Space Opera (my favorite) is sadly laced with affection for the Marxism that never happened (thank god) and the rest is now so PC and Left Wing, as to be nearly unreadable, or at best, as gray and boring as a crowd of people in Soviet Russias old days. (they all wore black or gray)

If you read only one Sci Fi book in the next year, make it this one. And keep your copy, for you will need to read again one day. No one reads this book just one time, in their life time. It's simply that damn good.

I wish Dave Wolverton would do this kind of book again, and do it well. Someone tell him he should.

Our executive team was asked to read this book and we each were given a chapter to present. I am by no means the fastest reader in the world, but I breezed through this in less than 2 hours. I believe the message and directions in this book are the true path of a leader. I have since passed on copies to the leaders in my deptment and have received nothing but positive feedback.

This book is stellar! I highly recommend for anyone in a leadership position or anyone who will one day be.

One of the greatest books on leadership out there. A simple to the point story that teaches skills not taught in most business schools today.

Having read many leadership books, this is one of the best in teaching how to lead with your heart. It's well-written, easy to read, and paints a challenging, yet rewarding picture of leadership that requires devotion and commitment of oneself above and beyond all else.

Have bought 3 of these books for different friends and they have all enjoyed it and passed it on to others.

What an AWESOME book, totally enjoyed every second of reading this book. I finished this book a short time after I got it. From the time I started reading it, I just could not put it down.

I've never read a "lesbian thriller" before, but man did I love this one! Oh Sam and Tori :O) what great characters. I loved the different twists and unexpected events. This book definitely had me at the edge of my seat.

As a somewhat "newbie" to reading lesbian novels, I have come across very few that have enthralled and captivated me like Hunters Way. Not only is it believable that a tough, unsociable, distant woman (Tori) could find herself drawn to her warm, thoughtful and full of life partner (Sam), it was completely entertaining to see it unfold....slowly. Not a minute of this read was boring. From page one, it caught my attention and drew me in, giving me the feeling that I knew each of the characters personally.

Gerri Hill can simply tell a story and while this book was full of hot, believable passion, it was also full of drama as the story unfolds. I HIGHLY recommend this book. It will be one of many that I read from this author and she has now set a very high standard of what I expect from a fiction novel.

I love to read but I'm the kind of person that takes weeks, sometimes months to read a book. However, with this book I've stayed up two nights in a row well past midnight (and I get up at 5 am) just to finish it.
I was a little hesitant to buy this book because I thought "oh great, another Lesbian cop story" but to my surprise the storyline kept me interested and kept me reading.

This romance moves quickly with nice suspense. Tori is especially likable, despite being a tough cop. You find yourself rooting for her to get the girl (who happens to be straight until, of course, being partnered with Tori on the force and charmed by Tori's protectiveness.) The mystery provides the perfect backdrop for the two characters to grow close and ultimately get together. Definitely, a must have addition to any romance collection.

Yudkin's "Six Steps to Free Publicity" is in reality an easy-to-follow guide to successful marketing and publicity for your business. Yudkin provides the know-how for you to gain publicity, generate name recognition and be considered an expert in your field with fast, free ideas from tip sheets, to press releases, to speaking engagements, to utilization of the Internet. Her true life examples of others will have you laughing out loud with how simple it can be. You'll be taking action before you finish the book and you will reread it over and over to make sure you haven't missed anything. Get your own copy of Yudkin's "Six Steps to Free Publicity" and step into the success you've been dreaming of. Her advice is sound, but most of all, IT WORKS!

I've been trying to get my business going for the last few years and its been very frustrating. I found this book by accident in my local library a month ago and have been kicking myself ever since. I read it cover to cover and just now ordered it through Amazon.com so that I can have a copy of my own. It broadened my business perspective, yet has given me more focus to what I am trying to accomplish. This book has really inspired me to redouble my efforts.
Its so rare to find authors that aren't so egotistical that they can't just explain the information. It seems most of them have to either treat the readers like they are idiots, or talk so above the them they can't get any use out of the information. The information in this book is not only clear and concise, the writing style flows and reads very smoothly.

Once again, Yudkin proves she's marketeer extraordinaire! From the get-go of this book, I guarantee if you do the things she suggests (from press releases, tip sheets, bios, and brochures) you will bolster sales for your company. This is in area where Yudkin shines - from showing how she worked her own deals to be lucrative for her, to recounting a story of how one woman created spin for a seminar she never gave!

This is a fun read on material that could have been dry. This is one book that won't collect dust on your bookshelf but will be used as a resource again and again.

I've used Marcia Yudkin's ideas on writing letters to editors twice. Each time, a variation of my letter lead to a small feature in a newspaper and, even better, new sales! I even have a repeat customer - which is like gold! What I like best about the book is that there are enough different ways to get publicity, that there's a style or method for everyone. You don't have to be outgoing, network like crazy, make sales calls or anything. If you want to be "low key", there are still ideas in this book that will appeal to you and be effective, too.

I am the PR Chairperson for my organization. We are planning our National Convention for July 2002. This book is great. If gives me the basics I need to head up this committee and to know how to handle myself in an area in which I have no experience. Just last week I called a contact at a local newspaper who immediately said.."sorry, can't speak, I'm on deadline." I had just read the chapter that addressed this; how not to take this personally because this is what happens in their line of business. However this person continued to apolgize, took my number and promised to call next week. Admittably so, I am a sensitive person. So, had I not read the book, I probably would not have felt as confident as I did!

Not for nothing, but somewhere on the backburner I wouldn't mind considering a career in this field....somewhere down the line.

When I got this book I had just hoped to get informed about the various ways to improve life by learning new principles of mind & body. However, after reading it, I'm amazed by the wealth of information I got. Deepak Chopra has rightly said on the front page of the book that Coffey brings the timeless wisdom of Ayurveda to a contemprary audience and shows us how to discover more about ourselves and our relationships. I totally agree with his words and word like to congratulate Lisa Marie Coffey for coming up with such a profoundly amazing book!

Lisa Marie does an amazing job of taking ancient knowledge and putting it in easy to understand language. This book is a quick read with a wealth of information that is easy to understand and apply now!

When I first picked up this book, I expected to learn something about Ayurveyda, my "dosha", and considerations regarding my health, diet and well-being. This book was very informative in this regard and presents the information in a way that westerners can understand. I was pleasantly surprised to read further that Ayurveda has something to say about relationships. By understanding the nature of each dosha, I can apply the understanding to all of my relationships. This book is an enjoyable read and I learned something new.

Who would have thought that the ancient Vedic health science system from India could give rise to a highly effective and hip Western guide to creating successful, harmonious, and exciting relationships!

WHAT'S YOUR DOSHA, BABY? does that and more. Take the quiz and learn your dosha. Take the quiz and learn about the dosha of your significant other. Bring greater harmony and joy to your relationship than you could have dreamed. The principles apply across the board - business relationships, the sister you never quite understood, the relationship patterns you'd like to do differently and with more satisfaction.

I'm giving this book to everyone on my holiday list.

While reseaching information on Ayurveda & Dosha's, I came across Lisa Marie's whatisyourdosha.com, which turned out to be very interesting. With an easy quiz, you can find which Dosha fits your personality and get a basic understanding of what it is all means.
Her new book, "What's you Dosha, Baby?" is a wonderful guide to understanding how you fit within this Dosha and how it works within your lifestyle. Most highly valued is the information on compatability with anyone in your life. Other suggestions cover best forms of exercise for you mind/body type as well as foods best suited. It is a wonderful way to introduce oneself to this ancient pratice/belief way of living.
