This was the first book I bought of H. Jackson Brown. The presentation and size of the book caught my attention and after reading the introduction I was totally into it. Is very easy to read and can be completely read in about an hour. Do not ignore this book for that, this book can uplift your spirit at any time any where. I read it every once in a while to receive the peace and tranquility the book imparts beside the motherly wisdom. I an not a "romantic" but this book apply to everybody's sensible side, no matter how hidden it is.

"Mom loved to write to my sister and me," H. Jackson Brown writes. "They began when I was an eight-year old camper away from home for the first time. When I opened Mom's letter, I would always read the P.S. first. I just couldn't wait to discover what revelations, humor,observations, admonitions, and encouragement she wanted to share with me."

"No matter how hard you hug your money, it never hugs you back,"says one P.S. "Middle age is when you have two choices and you choosethe one that gets you home earlier, " says another.

Jack Brown's mother shared valuable advice with him about the issues ofwisdom, hope, humor, and faith. "Although some were written more thanthirty years ago," Brown says, "they still run with truth andinsight."

Faith in the Valley: Lessons for Women on the Journey to Peace Review

Faith in the Valley: Lessons for Women on the Journey to Peace

I first saw Iyanla Vanzant on Oprah (another truly inspiring woman) the more I watched this exceptional women the more I was astounded by her life and work. I looked up her books on the internet and read the excepts from each. These excepts were not lenghty but in that time I found a need in myself to discover more. The short excepts made real sense to me. So I went and purchased the book 'Faith in the Valley'. It made me wake up at night and listen to my thoughts that were deep in my stomach and not only to listen but to take notice of them, good and bad. To listen to faith that for so many years I had simply let into the fringes of my life and never into the core. Iyanla Vanzant is thought provoking, inspirational and gifted. I have all her books now. She is a writer and teacher that would inspire Mother Teresa.

Tweet This Book: The 1,400 Greatest Quotes of All Time in 140 Characters or Less
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This short book combines our endless fascination with memorable and pithy quotes with the recent rise of Twitter. All of the quotes in this book were chosen so that they can fit the Twitter microblogging format - they are all at most 140 characters long. Some of the quotes are centuries old and are attributed to personages that are as far removed from our instant-information culture as they come, such as William Shakespeare, Lao Tzu and Abraham Lincoln. Nonetheless, even the quotes from these long-dead luminaries seem strangely appropriate for being posted on Twitter. This fact either speaks volumes about the timelessness of their insights, or perhaps how trite and banal they were all along and it took the advent of Twitter for us to realize this. I think I'll go with the first option, and post some of these quotes on my Twitter stream. You are all welcome to retweet them.

5: Where Will You Be Five Years from Today? Review

5: Where Will You Be Five Years from Today
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Each year I share with my clients and friends a book that I believe will provoke their thinking in some way.
Shortly after Thanksgiving last year I found myself in a Starbucks Café with a steaming Americano on my table and seated next to a display of dark chocolate and merchandise. I had a 30-minute wait till my appointment arrived, so I began to page through the book titled, "5." It's a tool for planning your life five years out, filled with thought-provoking activities. Yet even when I ignored the exercises, I decided, it's a good, fun read!
I found the layout stimulating, the questions quite provocative, and the value high. So high, in fact, that I talked a Starbucks manager into ordering me a full case of these (50) for exclusive distribution to my client base.
They loved the book! I received dozens of notes from clients who dug into the exercises and were having a wonderful time discovering their future. A few confessed they had no energy to plan the future, but when they started reading the book they felt so inspired by the layout and the powerful questions that they found themselves engaged despite them selves.
I also had a lot of requests re: Where can I get a copy? Until very recently (end of month Jan 09) the book was not available except thru Starbucks, and they were sold out. I'm thrilled it's now available thru AZN.
My wife and I used two copies of this book to do our annual Planning Retreat, where we set aside an entire day to review the past year and then look ahead to the next. This book, 5, challenged us to look even further ahead.
It's not a breakthrough book, and it's filled with a lot of quotes and readings that self-improvement junkies will have already seen before. But the presentation is so much fun; and the arrangement of activities keeps one moving thru the planning/vision process.
Bottom line, it's a pretty joyful planning tool. I highly recommend this for those who get stuck in planning their life, and especially those who appreciate visual presentation.

Mankind's Greatest Quotes - Mankind's Wisdom from Aristotle to Zimmerman (2nd Edition) (Greatest Quotes Series) Review

I have to say that I disagree with the majority of the previous reviewers, in that this book is really not that useful in my eyes. While it does have a few famous and inspirational quotes, it is definitley not worth paying $15 for. Like other readers have mentioned, the book is 50 pages long, with half of them being illustrations. The other 25 pages contain from 4-5 quotes each, for a total of maybe 100 quotes in the entire book. This is the type of book that you would expect to pay $3.95 for at a bookstore, and definitly not $14.95. My suggestion would be to stay away from this book. You are better off getting quotes off the Internet. Just my opinion...

I have never been so let down by a book. Bad grammar, bad editing, no page numbers, multiple repeated quotes, the same quotes credited to different authors, and 80% of the material was related to the government and/or war. What a complete waste.
