.NLP: A Practical Guide to Achieving the Results You Want: Workbook
City Travel Guides > Books > Society- Politics and Philosophy
by: Joseph O'Connor

May 08, 2001
I don't know much about about NLP and find it confusing. This book is very helpful, albeit there is still much jargon to sift through. The techniques I have tried work amazingly well. It is a lot to learn but I'm going back through material as I want to use it for myself and for others. This book is the best I have come across on this complicated but very interesting subject.

.Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: 25th Anniversary Edition
City Travel Guides > Books > Society- Politics and Philosophy
by: Robert M. Pirsig

November 18, 1999
Yeah, I am not very good at writting reviews but there you go...

This book is the kind that you borrow, read almost twice, slowly, and then you have to buy it to finish reading it the second time! The adventure, the trip is not just any trip, sprinkled with philosophy, sense of humour, and mechanics. I must say, that I never owned a cycle, and I probably never will, they scare me to death! Although I secretly love see them go past, and I would have so much enjoyed a trip like this with this guy in a classic Harley!! Oh yeah! hehe

Also, the amount of laughter and food for thought in it, and the glow of the main character made me love him dearly very early in the book, is a very caring, sometimes moody character, but his ... Read More:

.The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome
City Travel Guides > Books > Society- Politics and Philosophy
by: Tony Attwood

May 15, 2008
This remarkable book gives an incredibly clear account of asperger's and its impact on people around them. It is easy to read yet gives the most profound insights and cause for joy and optimism. A diagnosis of Aspergers is not the end of the world but a way of accessing the genius and talents that can go with it. If you know people who may be on the autistic spectrum it gives you a way of understanding and enjoying them and seeing the truth beneath a way of being that can make people hard to know. Reading the book has been an eyeopener for me, I have always enjoyed being with unusual people and now understand why.

.Manage Your Mind: The Mental Fitness Guide
City Travel Guides > Books > Society- Politics and Philosophy
by: Gillian Butler, Tony Hope

January 04, 2007
I fully agree about the quality of this book's content. It is also a quality paperback and therefore quite heavy: don't buy it from the sort of seller who uses flimsy jiffy bags if you like your books in good condition!

.Gangs
City Travel Guides > Books > Society- Politics and Philosophy
by: Ross Kemp

July 31, 2008
This is a must read book. Very easy to read; very difficult to put down. A terrifying account of a disaffected youth (around the world) with no families, no morals, no futures and no hope. The author deals with the issues with sensitivity and fairness. You begin to understand why young people (some of them of obviously high intelligence) have become affiliated to gangs. Read this book and ask, "what the hell has gone wrong with civilised society?". A superb,thought provoking book.

.Six Thinking Hats
City Travel Guides > Books > Society- Politics and Philosophy
by: Edward De Bono

October 26, 2000

The Six Thinking Hats is an easy to learn and apply, but powerful method to group decision making. Edward De Bono's common sense approach is both refreshing and insightful.

The Six Thinking Hats helps people use both their left and right brains efficiently by separating them into compartments (Thinking Hats). In other words, De Bono teaches how to achieve a strong Left Brain, Right Brain Crossover.

Each of the hats uses part of the left, or the right brain.
* The White Hat addresses facts and data -Left Brain
* The Red Hat addresses emotions - Right Brain
* The Black Hat addresses the weaknesses in ideas- Left Brain
* The Yellow Hat is hopeful and positive - Right Brain
* The Green Hat addresses creativity ... Read More:

.Teaching Today - A Practical Guide Third Edition: A Practical Guide

by: Geoff Petty

I started off by using a library book but soon resorted to buying my personal copy. This book has lived on my bedside table for nearly three years, has been mentioned in nearly all of my esssays and gives me guidance and advice on my teaching.
I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Straight-talking, sense-making; its like the voice of reason on paper. Love it!

.The Four Agreements: Practical Guide to Personal Freedom (Toltec Wisdom)
City Travel Guides > Books > Society- Politics and Philosophy
by: Don Miguel Ruiz

December 31, 1997
This was an inspiring read. The Four Agreements are beautiful, fresh, and uplifting concepts that one can easily integrate immediately. Ruiz believes we need not stay addicted to beliefs that limit us, nor should we strive for perfection, but always do our best. While reading this profound yet simple book, I recognized beliefs I had adopted since childhood that were based in fear, not in reality. Being free of these limiting ideas allows me to live fully and joyously in the present.

Another book filled with supportive and effortless ways to live magically in the "now" is called " Being Here" by Ariel and Shya Kane. They introduce three principals that make living a brilliant life a possibility right now...without working at it! I can feel all of these authors' integrity ... Read More:

.Bringing Down the House: How Six Students Took Vegas for Millions
City Travel Guides > Books > Society- Politics and Philosophy
by: Ben Mezrich

May 06, 2004
At the time I only bought Bringing Down The House, that was a mistake, I should have got Breaking Vegas at the same time. I will go back and give the book another read (you can speed-read very quickly thanks to Mezrich's writing) since I watched the faction film "21" at the cinema last month. Anyone wanting the true story, this is the closest you'll get.
