City Travel Guides > Books > Medicine
by: Elaine Petrone

December 10, 2003
Excellent packaging as well book and exercise balls.
The small size book allows me to put it into my pocket and read it at anyplace (airplane, bus, park, etc). Miracle small balls are excellent for my daily practice and can carry them in my briefcase.
So far all my exercises have been very productive since book lessons are clear, succint and motivating. Key results of the exercises: Great reduction on stress, overall body stiffness and lower backpain.
Thank you Elaine.

.The Feeling Good Handbook
City Travel Guides > Books > Medicine
by: David D. Burns

May 01, 1999
I won't write a novel here, but I wanted to say a few things about this book. I have started countless self-help books over the years, only to get bored and never finish them. This is the first one that I have read cover to cover and it has made the most sense to me. Many of the situations and case studies he describes relate directly to me, and it made me feel like I was not alone in my self-esteem issues. A few times I was overcome with emotion, feeling like for the first time, someone truly understood how I felt, that I was not the only person in the world who processed thoughts this way, and was there to help me make changes that would improve my quality of life.

I highly recommend this workbook version (there is a regular ... Read More:

.My Boys Can Swim!: The Official Guy's Guide to Pregnancy
City Travel Guides > Books > Medicine
by: Ian Davis

September 22, 1999
The book was a great first read for men. it was entertaining, well written, and in general a great informational book. It did, however, lack all the medical explanations and details. The author tells you that is not the purpose of this book, so it is not misleading in anyway. I would definitely suggest it for a new dad, but I would pair it with a more detailed look at pregnancy. Enjoy!

.Desk Reference to the Diagnostic Criteria From DSM-IV-TR (Desk Reference to the Diagnostic Criteria from Dsm)
City Travel Guides > Books > Medicine
by: American Psychiatric Association

2000-09
This is a great purchase for a college-level psychology student on a budget. The full DSM can be about $80. But this book still has all the information that you would need to know about any mental disorders.

.The Alcoholism and Addiction Cure: A Holistic Approach to Total Recovery
City Travel Guides > Books > Medicine
by: Chris Prentiss, Chris Prentiss

2005-09
This book not only offers hope, but outlines very practical ways of understanding and ridding yourself of this dependency. I would recommend that even "recovered" alcoholics (and anyone with an "addiction" problem) would gain insight and relief from reading this book. Chris Prentiss is a healer and visionary.

.The Elements of Style, Fourth Edition
City Travel Guides > Books > Medicine
by: William Strunk Jr., E. B. White

August 02, 1999
Strunk's work is a solid baseline for grammar, punctuation, and composition. If your workplace tends to create its own standards for linguistics, it might be valuable to keep this readily available.

It is somewhat limited in terms of all the possible usages of punctuation, and admits as much in its first pages. While this is a valuable reference for most scenarios, it can't stand alone.

.Iconoclast: A Neuroscientist Reveals How to Think Differently
City Travel Guides > Books > Medicine
by: Gregory Berns

September 29, 2008

Iconoclast in the case of the book means One who attacks cherished beliefs. I think most entrepreneurs are good at this. They challenge the known and think creatively.

The following is a summary of Iconoclast from Oct 2008 Fast Company which I think touches most of the salient points:

-- The brain is fundamentally a lazy piece of meat. It doesn't want to waste energy.

-- In order to think creatively, you must develop new neural pathways and break out of the cycle of experience - dependant categorization. As Mark Twain said, "Education consists mainly in what we have unlearned." For most people, this does not come naturally. Often, the harder you think differently, the more rigid the categories become.

-- Fortunately, ... Read More:

.Passionate Marriage: Keeping Love and Intimacy Alive in Committed Relationships
City Travel Guides > Books > Medicine
by: David Schnarch

May 15, 1998
I bought this book and another marital self-help book at the same time. I'm happy I read this book second because the first book caused more damage then good, better to have the trouble out of the way first.

While reading this book, I saw a lot of my own marriage in the characters. It was odd yet left me feeling hopeful to see that other marriages are going through almost the exact problems my marriage is going through. I could relate to a lot of what was said in this book. I was so happy to see the word I've been looking for to tell my husband how I've been feeling and that is a loss of connection at times when I really need to have him present with me in the moment. At the same time I loved the authors ideas on self-differentiation. It's exactly what I needed and ... Read More:
