 | High Back Toddler Swing | |
 | "Good for my toddler, bad for me!" | 2009-10-16 |
| My 15-month-old daughter LOVES this swing. She'll swing for HOURS in this. When I want to take her out so we can do something else, FORGET IT! So, there I am standing there forever and ever pushing her. Sometimes she falls asleep. If I try to take her out, she wakes up and cries. If it was up to her, she would live in this swing! I like how they have a durable rope instead of a chain that would pinch little fingers. My daughter is big enough to where we don't bother with the little safety straps. This is perfect for babies and toddlers! Highly recommended! | ||
 | Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber & Swing Extension | |
| "Well-Made, Safe, and Fun for a Toddler!" | 2009-10-16 |
| I did quite a bit of shopping for the perfect swing set for my toddler who is obsessed with swings and slides. I was discouraged by how expensive some of the other slide/swing sets can get, which were well over $1,000. I wanted something well-made without spending a ridiculous fortune.
After debating on making this purchase for a few weeks, I decided to go for it based on the other reviews. I'm glad I bought it. It's absolutely perfect for a toddler. My daughter is 15 months, younger than the recommended 24 month minimum age limit. We needed the special toddler swing for this set, which we purchased separately, and it works fabulously. Instead of using both sides for two swings, we put the toddler seat square in the middle and only use the swing portion for one swing instead of two. My husband mentioned that this product is well-made after he finished putting it together. He said to pay special attention to the assembly instructions because they are somewhat difficult to understand; you have to put this together when you're not in a rush. Take your time and do it right! It takes about 3 hours to put it together. I like the fact that it's a very durable plastic and is extremely easy to clean or hose down. I don't have to worry about splinters from a wood set or rust from a metal set (like the ones I grew up with). The house under the slide is a tad small. My daughter, as I mentioned, is 15 months and I can see how she will probably outgrow it by the time she turns 2. As it is right now she looks cramped when walking into the house and standing there. The slide is somewhat narrow so I'm imagining that by the time she's 3 this set will have to be retired, as she will be to large/wide for the side. All around this is a great value and recommended if you have a young toddler. If you are looking to buy this for a 3-year-old then I think you may want to consider a different set because you'll be disappointed with this one. | ||
 | Sesame Street - 123 Count With Me | |
| "I Absolutely LOVE This DVD!" | 2009-05-09 |
| I bought this for my daughter a month ago. She is now 10 months. She loves puppets so I though this would be a good fit. She watches this video intently and loves it. I find it entertaining. I've seen it at least 2 dozen times. I like Benny, the surly, angry rabbit who is the bellhop. He keeps it entertaining for adults with his sarcastic quips. Highly recommended if your kids like puppets. It will keep them entertained while learning about numbers. | ||

 | Melissa & Doug Deluxe Picnic Basket Fill & Spill Soft Baby Toy | |
| "Sooooo Adorable! My 9-Month Old Loves It!" | 2009-05-02 |
| When I got this toy today, I immediately fell in love with it. My daughter has been playing with it all day. The sandwich has little velcro on it so the bread, tomato, lettuce, and cheese stay together. Since I am a vegetarian, I thought it was neat that the sandwich didn't have ham or some other meat in it...just cheese. The soda pop "bottle" shakes with a rattle inside. The watermelon squeaks when you squeeze it. And the ice cream cone also has a bell/rattle inside. Very adorable and age appropriate for babies 6 months and over. | ||
 | Web Copy That Sells: The Revolutionary Formula for Creating Killer Copy Every Time | |
 | "I have mixed feelings about this book..." | 2008-12-10 |
| I have been a successful marketer for about 15 years. I always invest in new marketing books to help me keep an edge on the game. This book starts out promising. Unfortunately, as the pages turn, Maria (the author) gets a little contradictory and it seems that she flounders about trying to get herself together. She talks about how the "editorial" style of marketing is the best use for web marketing. This means that your website should look like a blog or news article instead of a sales pitch page. Fine. Then she shares a few headlines that CLEARLY scream out AD! Hmmmm. If you're trying to get yourself under the "radar" with the editorial-style marketing scheme, why use a headline that screams "I'm an ad and I'm asking you to buy something!"? Then, she goes on to say that the headline is about 65% of the sales message on the web but 75% with offline marketing. How does she come to this irresponsible conclusion? Then, she tries to say that, according to Ted Nicholas, the headline is 100% (which has ALWAYS been my belief) because if people can't get past the headline then they won't read anything else you have on the page, which is true. The problem is that Maria doesn't seem to have her own opinion because she absorbs everyone else's information. The opinion that I think she does have (that headlines account for 65% of the sales message) is DEAD WRONG because, as she even says herself, if people think your headline sucks then they will click off your page and read nothing else. So, how does she figure that it's 65% of the sales message and not 100%...especially since in a different passage she says that people will make a buying decision based on the headline. Sounds like the headline is 100% to me. Although she has some good information regarding the use of the editorial-style marketing strategy to use with web copy, I don't agree with this strategy and I don't think she uses the right headline or copy examples to support her own claim. If you are a hard-core marketer then you should get this book. It's not a waste of money and you will get some tips and techniques out of it. However, if you are looking for the end-all, tell-all web copy book then this one misses the mark. And if you are a complete NEWBIE with web marketing then I would SKIP this book because it will be more confusing than anything and you'll end up not being able to use the strategies in this book successfully. | ||
 | The Official Get Rich Guide to Information Marketing: Build a Million-Dollar Business in 12 Months | |
 | "Decent Swipe File and Has Some Ideas..." | 2008-12-03 |
| If you have any of Dan Kennedy's courses or have studied his work for any number of years then you probably don't need this book. I did find some new ideas that maybe I could try and I've been doing info publishing since 1995. Any good entrepreneur will keep investing in marketing books, courses, etc. even for one good idea or even to refresh what we already know. If you aren't really expecting anything groundbreaking and want to refresh your knowledge, collect some powerful copy for future use, and want to gather a few ideas you can potentially try that you haven't before then it may be your worthwhile to get this book. However, if you are a self-professed know-it-all who has read everything Kennedy and you are looking for something new then this is not what you need. By the way, I'll bet that 95% of the people who gave this book a negative review aren't making any money either online or as an info publisher and yet they are the first ones to rip this book apart. So, maybe they need to ask themselves how much they think they really know if they claim this book is worthless and yet they don't have two nickels to rub together from their marketing activities. Apparently they really aren't reading or implementing what they think they "know." Me? I've personally made TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS as an info marketer and I still cherish any book, course, DVD, CD or newsletter that can give me even one idea that will send sales through the roof (or give me a new product idea). I do consider myself an expert and yet I still keep on the lookout for either refresher books or books with new marketing ideas, as any successful entrepreneur would do. So, consider the source... | ||
 | Mozart Magic Cube | |
| "I like it, the baby likes it, it serves it's purpose!" | 2008-10-01 |
| I have read through some of the ridiculous low-star reviews and can't believe how anal people are. This is a baby's toy for $20. It's not a minature version of the New York Symphony stuffed into a $600 Bose music player, like some people are expecting.br /br /Since this is a child's toy, I think it's serves it's purpose well. The music is clear. The lights flash when the music plays. I think it's neat that you can add or subtract musical instruments during the song that's playing so your baby can hear what each individual instrument sounds like.br /br /My daughter loves the toy. It keeps her occupied for long periods of time and she's learning the names of each instrument and how they each sound both together in an orchestra and individually.br /br /The people who are expecting this to be something more than it is need to understand that the toy wasn't designed for their enjoyment. The toy was designed for children. And, in my opinion, it's an exceptional toy that will keep most children entertained which, in and of itself, is a blessing. | ||
 | Your Internet Cash Machine: The Insider's Guide to Making Big Money, Fast! (Your Coach in a Box) (Unabridged Edition) | |
 | "Completely worthless..." | 2008-09-11 |
| I should have listened to the negative reviews. First of all, I don't like Joe Vitale and promised myself that I would never get ripped off again by him. However, I was hoping to have found a "gem" in this since someone else (Jillian Coleman Wheeler) wrote it. Nope, no such luck! This book gives you a brief overview on how to make money online which is OPPOSITE of the promise on page 3 which says, "In this book, we tell you everything you need to know about doing business on the Internet. We guide you as you select a business model, and we give you a clear, powerful plan with action steps you can follow. We lead you to the tools that will make your work easier and more profitable." So, where is this information they promised? NOWHERE TO BE FOUND. The book is nothing but fluff with a bunch of website addresses that you can go to that sells other people's stuff. I'm sure Vitale gets a piece of the action somehow if you buy something. If you want to get scammed and feel ripped off then get this book. | ||
 | How I Gave Up My Low-Fat Diet and Lost 40 Pounds (Revised and Expanded Edition) | |
| "Just Okay...Too Many Contradictions." | 2007-09-02 |
| Dana Carpender uses the entire book explaining all of the other carb diets out there. She doesn't explain much about the diet she is on. That would have been helpful.
I was irritated from the beginning of the book Dana was degrading this television commercial with a child in it who says something about changing up on the flavor of juice drinks because her "tongue gets tired" and Dana flies off the handle saying that the kid should be "lucky" to have food everyday. Doesn't Dana know that the advertisers wrote the script for the kid and the kid didn't make up those words on her own? Could Dana really be that stupid and naive? Dana never gives an outline of how to orchestrate your own diet or what she exactly does. She basically says, "Here are all the low-carb diets out there. Pick your own and good luck." She doesn't indicate what she does directly with any specifics. Does she each 100 carbs per day? 50 carbs? Less? It would have been useful to know what SHE does. It's so vague that you really don't know. Then she says at the beginning of the book that low-carb living has to be a LIFESTYLE and you have to prepare yourself to NEVER eat pastas, white flour, potatoes, and cereal again. However, later on she says that you should have about 6 "cheat" days in a year including your birthday, Christmas, etc. Huh? Which is it? Again, she really isn't specific on what SHE does. First she'll say that she "never" eats cereal, sweets, etc. then says that she has her "cheat" days too. Okay... I had such high hopes for this book and felt let down. I wished she outlined her own diet instead of everyone else's out there. The title of the book, as I recall, is "How I gave up my low-fat diet and lost 40 pounds" and NOT "How you can pick and choose one of these MANY low-carb diets and maybe you'll lose weight depending on whether you choose the right diet." I do, however, recommend her two "500 Low-Carb Recipe" books. I have them both and they are excellent! | ||
 | On Writing | |
| "Absolutely Excellent...Highly Recommended for ALL Types of Writers!" | 2007-04-15 |
| I used Stephen King's example query letter in this book and, out of 100 letters I sent out to agents, 14 wanted to see my book! Absolutely incredible! I used the same type of letter to use to send to publishers for my non-fiction book. Again, out of 100 letters sent out, 11 publishers wanted to see my book. One editor even called me on the phone and told me that, out of the 20+ years he's been an editor, he's never called anyone on the phone to get their book...AND HE CALLED ME! He wanted to see my book ASAP! If you're a writer who's tired of books on "structure" and "dialogue" but with no information on getting your book sold, THIS IS THE BOOK FOR YOU! Highly recommended whether you are a fiction or non-fiction writer. | ||
 | Selling Products from the Platform | |
| "Quality vs. Quantity...A Concept Fred Misunderstands!" | 2007-04-15 |
| I like Fred Gleeck and his work. I think he spills the beans on ALL of the details you need to run a profitable information publishing empire, become a successful speaker, and increase your sales on the web. The problem that I have with Fred is that his books are poorly edited AND he writes the same books over and over again. He cuts and pastes a lot of his info from other books to create new books. To me, it would seem that people would respect you more if you packed as much info into one book rather than creating three "copy cat" books containing the same information. Furthermore, he needs a good editor. Preferably one that can spell and formulate a sentence properly. Since the actual information is solid, I can't go below 4 stars. If I were to grade this on grammar and spelling, this book would get 1 star. A note to Fred: There is so much technology and access to high-quality editors that, in this day and age, there are no excuses to turn out a poor-quality book and in doing so, it reflects badly on you (and can damage your reputation). When you write it seems as if you are in a massive hurry to get your books published. Take a few extra weeks to work out the bugs in it before publishing it. Just a thought... | ||
 | Movie Magic Screenwriter 4.7 (Win/Mac) | |
| "Best Software Out There..." | 2007-03-18 |
| I've used Final Draft and have found it to be "clumsy" and somewhat difficult to use in addition to not having enough features (and more expensive than Movie Magic). Movie Magic has everything you would ever want in a screenwriting AND novel-writing software program. I just bought this newer version and it's excellent. It's much easier to use than the prior version and it's very easy to write a novel or screenplay with NO WORK (other than your imagination). If you're an aspiring screenwriting or novelist...Or an ACCOMPLISHED screenwriter or novelist, YOU SHOULD BE USING THIS SOFTWARE. It can only make the writing process MUCH BETTER! Highly recommended. Also, if you're considering Final Draft over this software, you're making a mistake. Get Movie Magic and you won't be disappointed. You'll be very glad you did..all up to the point where you're receiving your Best Screenplay Oscar! | ||
 | The Secrets of Life | |
| "Excellent Advice but I Don't Like "Snippets"..." | 2007-03-18 |
| I love Stuart Wilde and, perhaps, I expected more from this book...Or at least an ORGANIZED book. Each bit of wisdom is...well, wise. However, I don't like snippets of information. That's my personal preference so it should reflect on the value of Stuart's work. By snippets, I mean having a page heading such as "On Abundance" and going into a short paragraph (sometimes just one sentence) on the topic. Then, onto the next page with a different "snippet" not having anything to do with the prior one. Maybe the book would have been better if it were organized in sections such as "Abundance," "Health," "World Affairs," etc. Anyway, I don't regret getting the book and found it to be a wise purchase. I just wish it was more in-depth with each "snippet" and better organized by topic rather than randomly thrown together. | ||
 | 38 Years in Apartment Real Estate | |
 | "Super Outdated for Today's Market..." | 2007-02-27 |
| The author's stories were interesting but all of his transactions were done over 20 and 30 years ago. It's very difficult to use the same "real life" strategies of deals done so long ago because the market is so different. There are different types of loans, creative financing, and strategies to go about getting property, even with no cash and no credit of your own.
I don't recommend getting this book if you're looking for real life examples in today's market and not a million years ago. | ||
 | What the "Bleep" Do We Know! - Down the Rabbit Hole Quantum | |
| "Awesome Film...A MUST See!" | 2007-02-21 |
| I watched this movie and was blown away. I guess movies like these, including The Secret (which I highly recommend), are finally here because WE, as a people, are ready to see these types of films. I was disappointed with the 1-star reviewer because he just seems ignorant to me. His references to "scientists" and "junk science" threw me because, gauging from his name, I didn't see any references to HIS education (which probably isn't more than the 8th grade). I believe that you would need a Ph.D., M.D., or other higher educational level affixed to your name other than "Jr." to have the audacity to judge any scientific beliefs. But, then again, we are still dealing with the "dinosaur" belief systems with a bunch of people who don't want to take control of their lives and who take pleasure in blaming others for the way their lives have turned out. And, if that works for them, so be it. If you are really serious about changing your life, you need to watch THIS video and THE SECRET. Both videos will blow you away. I've been a devout believer in New Age and Metaphysical concepts with reference to using energy to change your life. However, many of the self-help books out there don't go past the concept of "energy" and delve into the concept of "quantum physics" as these two above mentioned videos do. Books that do briefly touch on the topic don't really explain how it works or how WE can make it work in our own lives to change things. For all of you out there who have read tons of self-help books and still don't understand what to do to change things...or if you are looking for a way to change your life...WATCH THIS VIDEO AND THE SECRET! Even if you "think" you understand how to change your life (as I did), watch these videos anyway. The things you "thought" you knew will fly out the window and will be replaced with actual usable step-by-step techniques and strategies you can use immediately to change your life. In fact, if you watch the videos over and over and start immediately applying the techniques, you can see some incredible change in 30 days or less! | ||
 | Become a Recognized Authority in Your Field | |
| "Awesome Book With a MISLEADING TITLE!" | 2007-01-03 |
| I had to dock this book one star because the title is VERY misleading. The worst part about it is that Bly KNOWS you can't become a recognized authority in ANY field in 60 days or less. He has a step-by-step outline starting from A to Z on how to gain credibility in your field. The unfortunate part is that the outline takes a MINIMUM of 1 year to complete. You can't even complete the first "phase" of the plan within 60 days because it encompasses writing magazine articles which take SEVERAL MONTHS to come out in a magazine. Furthermore, the basis of MASSIVE credibility is publishing a book. Once you sit down and write it, even if you complete it in 60 days, you still have to wait for it to be published which can take up to 2 years! I disagree with Bly when he recommends conventional publishing while being AGAINST self-publishing. There are MANY very good vanity publishing houses that can turn out a very professional book and can do it within WEEKS versus waiting YEARS for a regular publisher to release your book. It would seem that Bly would have embraced self-publishing which would have actually lent his (b.s.) book title more believability. I can write a book within about 30 days and have it self-published within 6 weeks. Not exactly 60 days but DAMN CLOSE! Even Joe Vitale disagrees with Bly about the self-publishing avenue. As you know, Joe Vitale started a HUGE CAREER self-publishing his first books. Then major publishers showed interest and decided to publish Joe in the conventional way. Bly claims that the general public won't purchase a self-published book but would prefer books by major publishing houses. NONSENSE! Most people don't have a clue what the difference is between a major publisher and a vanity press. I gave this book four stars because, if you can IGNORE the whole "60 day" thing, this is a VERY GOOD BOOK and I don't believe there is another one like it that covers this subject thoroughly. I recommend this book. Just pretend that Bly "meant" 6 months instead of 60 days (and that's if you SELF PUBLISH) or 2 years if you choose a conventional publisher. | ||
 | The Romance Writers' Phrase Book | |
| "Somewhat Useful and Cliche at the Same Time..." | 2006-11-01 |
| My best recommendation would be to get this book, if you are a romance writer, and take a highlighter pen to highlight specific words in each sample phrase they use in this book. The actual phrases themselves are cliche and remind me of borrowed sentences from the old 70s bodice ripper romances. For example, what kind of phrase is this and who would use this in a book? "...she tried weighing the whole structure of events..." or "...he spoke so viciously that she wondered how she could ever have thought him kind..." Give me a break! The book is a good way to shake out some well-needed adjectives, verbs, and other wording you may be stuck on trying to pull from the air when you're writing. Again, that's why I recommend taking a highlighter pen to certain words in this book. If you actually borrowed the phrases in their entirety, you would turn out a lame book with a hint of 70s and 80s dime-store novel cliches; no creativity whatsoever. And good luck getting that published. | ||
 | The Greatest Money-Making Secret in History! | |
| "Lacks substance...I'll save you $13.95 and reveal the "secret"" | 2006-07-26 |
| This book can be summed up in one sentence: "Give away money in the form of 'tithing' and you will receive money back from the Universe from various 'unexpected' avenues, usually ten-fold." And THAT'S IT! Vitale goes on to say that you'll get back what you give. If you give time, you'll get time. If you give books, you'll get books. You get the picture. He goes on to say that you should give from the bottom of your heart and not just to give to get something on the backend. He talks about how you don't need to tithe money to a church only but perhaps a charity that's very important to you or a school to benefit children. Give to whatever makes you feel good and never feel obligated otherwise it's wrong. It's a powerful concept but if he wanted to drag it out he should have included examples, stories, illustrations, and perhaps some other types of attraction laws to "beef it up" a bit. | ||
 | 60 Ways to Get Rich and Stay Rich in the Speaking Business | |
| "Not Really Worth It...Save Your Money!" | 2006-05-25 |
| I can't give this less than 2 stars because that would be saying that I got nothing out of this book and that would be untrue. However, there are so many other speaking books out there like Speak and Grow Rich that give you all of the information you need. You don't need books like these. First of all, this book is $14.95. Where this guy derived that price from is BEYOND ME. This book is 4 1/4 by 6 3/4 in size. Yes, I actually took a ruler to it. On top of that it's only 93 pages which only about 80 pages is actual material and the rest is Larry Winget's sales pitch about himself and other things you can buy from the guy. And most of the "80" pages are 1/2 with content and 1/2 blank. His 60 "Ways" are things like Love Your Speech, Stop Identifying With the Audience, Train Your Staff Well and Pay Them Well, Self-Publish (which is apparently what he did with this cheesy book), Don't Put All of Your Eggs in One Basket, and Throw Away Stuff Regularly. Some of which, as you can tell, has NOTHING to do with speaking AT ALL. If you're looking for a brick-and-mortar book on speaking that will take you from A to Z, this is NOT the book to get. If you're looking to blow an extra $15 just to get pissed off at how you just wasted your money, this is the book to get. | ||
 | Start Your Own Self-Publishing Business (Entrepreneur Magazine's Start Up) | |
| "Should Have Listened to the 3-Star Reviewer!" | 2006-05-25 |
| I have to say that most of the time I'll disagree with the one guy who thinks a book sucks when many others have 4- and 5-star reviews. However, unfortunately, this wasn't the case for this book. I should have avoided the book based on the fact that it was published by Entrepreneur Press. I've had plenty of doses of their extremely dry-as-dust home-business manuals (that they sell from their magazine) and this book was no exception. Not only was this book boring but it offered little useful content. It's interesting because I've been looking into self-publishing for years and, out of everything I read, the ONLY thing that gave me the most information was a book that I got for FREE from Infinity Publishing (infinitypublishing.com) who prints self-published books. | ||
 | I'm Rich Beyond My Wildest Dreams--I Am. I Am. I Am.: How to Get Everything You t in Life | |
| "Oh, Brother! Not Very Good At All!" | 2006-05-25 |
| This book started out okay then went downhill very quickly after the first couple of chapters. I think the authors lost me somewhere after getting the notebook and writing a bunch of dreams and desires down. It was too run-of-the-mill for me. Then it gets worse. It talks about affirmations (like every other self-help book out there) and the same rehashed every other self-help guru talks about. I wonder if the authors of this book are rich beyond their wildest dreams. I can almost guarantee that they aren't. They remind me of hippies running around the country preaching love, prosperity, and happiness while living in a tin-can trailer with dirt between their toes. I recommend The Trick to Money is Having Some and The Little Money Bible, both by Stuart Wilde. Pass on this book for sure! | ||
 | Writing a Romance Novel for Dummies | |
| "Not Nearly as Good as the Complete Idiot's Guide..." | 2006-05-12 |
| If you want an excellent book on writing romance then get the Complete Idiot's Guide instead of this one. This book just skims over the basics and doesn't touch on anything really specific. It seems that Leslie Wainger either doesn't know that much about the industry or is keeping it all a secret. | ||
 | Slow Heat in Heaven | |
| "Sandra Brown's BEST NOVEL Ever (In My Opinion). Don't Miss Out!" | 2006-05-12 |
| This is one of my favorite Sandra Brown books along side of French Silk and Where There's Smoke. Perfect read for the beach, pool, or vacation. If you're a romance fan, DO NOT PASS THIS UP! It's a page-turner from beginning to end. | ||
 | Wealth Beyond Reason | |
| "Not great! There are much better books on the subject!" | 2006-05-12 |
| I didn't really care for this book. It may touch other people differently than it touched me. After all, different things touch people in different ways. This didn't really work out for me. It was just a rehashing of the same-old same-old out there already. If you're looking for a new angle on wealth attraction, try True Prosperity by Yehuda Berg or the one I book I keep coming back to over and over again, The Trick to Money is Having Some by Stuart Wilde. You may also like Secrets of the Millionaire Mind by T. Harv Eker which is also a great book. This one just didn't cut it for me. There's nothing new or different about it than everything else that's out there. | ||
 | Secrets of the Millionaire Mind: Mastering the Inner Game of Wealth | |
| "I like this book a lot! You shouldn't miss out on this one!" | 2006-05-12 |
| I've been looking over some of the other reviews and wonder if some of those people are missing something. This book is fantastic. It's one of the best "wealth attraction" books out there. I believe that the problem with the negative-review people is that they are looking for some kind of Magic Pill in one book. My belief is that if I get one or two workable things out of each book then the money I paid for the book is well worth it. The only time I ever feel like I wasted my money is if I get nothing out of a book. I got many good ideas and pointers from this book...much more than one or two. I definitely felt that this book was worth its weight in gold. If you're one of those people like me who likes to build a solid wealth library for current and future reference on life-changing strategies, this book definitely needs to be a part of that library, as it is something that you will go back to time and time again. | ||
 | Talking to Heaven: A Medium's Message of Life After Death | |
| "Super Book! A Quick Read...I Couldn't Put It Down!" | 2006-03-30 |
| My mother passed away less than a year ago. Since then I've been obsessed with finding answers like, "Where do you go when we die?" and "Is she okay where she is?" James Van Praagh is very comforting and helped me fill a gap in my soul. I now have faith that my mother is not only in a great place and doing well but that she isn't "gone"; she is always right there with me in a way I never thought she could be. She's not just part of my heart and memories. She is actually there with me on a different level of being. She sees me, hears me, laughs at my jokes, and comforts me in times of sadness. What a difference it makes in your life to know that your loved ones never leave. In fact, they just get closer to you than ever before. Highly recommended book for those who are looking for answers about their deceased loved ones (and even pets). | ||
 | The Secret of Letting Go | |
| "AWESOME BOOK! ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OUT THERE!" | 2006-03-08 |
| I wasn't happy with Mr. Somewhat Useful's comment. How he can compare Guy Finley to Anthony Robbins is beyond me. They are in completely different leagues and shouldn't be compared at all. Guy Finley digs deeper into the hows and whys of life rather than pumping people up in a short-lived motivational fashion (like Anthony Robbins). Guy gets you to really see yourself and understand why you should let go. He talks about HOW to let go and this is one of the only books out there that has given me several "Ah-Ha" moments. Mr. Somewhat Useful also didn't understand the concepts in the book (nor can he write) so it's no wonder that he couldn't read it. Maybe "Hooked on Phonics" would be best suited for him (and others like him) before he would be ready for something like what Guy Finley has to offer. | ||

| This is an excellent book that sheds so much light on life itself and true purpose. Highly recommended. | ||

| It's rare that I give a 3-star rating for a book and I (almost) never listen to the low-star comments/feedback from other readers. I should have listened in this case. The book starts out very promising. He makes you believe that he will be presenting some solid, workable information later on in the book. Except that solid, workable information never manifests itself. He just goes on and on about basic, common sense business practices that anyone who has ever run a small business, even a home-based business, would know. If you have no business experience then maybe you should invest in this book, except that it won't give you all the info you need. Not by a long shot. It's good for inspirational value for a newbie in business or someone aspiring to own a business (who never has in the past) but, if you are serious about starting a business and need the bricks and mortar info to get you started, you need other books too like Michael Gerber's E-Myth Revisited (highly, highly recommended!), not just a bunch of inspirational hype like this guy presents. Decent book but if you have even marginal experience in business then you may want to pass on this one. | ||
