Inspiration Books

Great book! Very factual and informative. I find the lessons learned in this book very useful in daily life. Very good read!

This one is fun! Dr. Dyer not only gives good advice, but can make you laugh at yourself. What better way to "improve"?

It's worth listening to, tho the book's probably better.
I felt a need for some hard, basic psychology (which he's qualified to furnish) to slide a foundational base under the new-age-y things I'd been listening to, or watching.
I sent it to my daughter, who's not such a hard-shelled veteran of the Dyer-esque materials, as I am. It's a good way for us "boomers" to review where we're coming from, before going foward to wherever we're going to, next.
If you lost your old copy of this book, it's probably a good way to refresh your memory.

This book encourages us to become the controller of our own destiny.It makes us realize that we can become anything we want to be, but must have the courage, fortitude and endurance to achieve our goals.In other words, nothing is impossible once you set your mind to it.Everyday Miracles: Stories That Touch Your Heart

THESE TWO BOOKS REALLY WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE...THEY SHOULD BE MANDATORY READING IN HIGH SCHOOLS TODAY.

Everyone knows the immortal words of Kermit the Frog: "Its not easy being green." This book, however, it takes us beyond that with more timeless life lessons from everyone's favorite man, Jim Henson, and those loveable Muppets. Though these quotes seem silly, they are from it. Filled with a great sense of poetry that only Henson possessed, we're taken back to a simpler time. This is an enjoyable read and novelty that no one should be without.

This book is full of everything I so loved about Jim Henson. His creativity, vulnerability, compassion and humor are excellent reminders of how to live with optimism and how that outlook always brings solutions. This is a must own book, and as a gift it will bring the best to your loved ones.

Great little book to keep in the car, at your desk, in your book bag, or nightstand. Easy to open it up, read a page or two, then continue in a great mood. Good times!

It was toio short and needed more bio.. However Henson remains my hero, my inspiration and one of the few examples of what is good in this questionab;e world.
Long Live Jim!

That's the best way to describe the philosophy of the Muppets and the work of Jim Henson. Zany, silly, goofy, but full of heart and an unending optimism. This book gives a peek at what he was trying to communicate about life using these flawed, but loveable characters.

Highly recommend.

Easy and light to read, yet gems of wisdom are in each and every page, it's a joy to read.

Excellent self help book, that really expresses the desires of a mother. Wanting to show her daughters the basics and express the joys of the world. A must have for any mothers or father

I picked up this book because of the title. I have daughters. There are 'things' I want them to know. Upon reading the Foreword, I grew a little nervous. The tone seemed rather patronizing, and I felt like I was about to get a lesson in what a rotten mother I am. The author writes: "No mother can have a relationship with her children without some heartaches and significant differences of opinion. With my own daughters I embrace our differences as well as the things we share in common." Well, yes, that WOULD be the ideal.

What follows beyond the Forword, where the author more or less introduces her qualifications for writing a book filed with advice, is just that. Lots of useful advice for getting through life. The conversational and rational writing style immediately allowed me to GET OVER MYSELF, and just enjoy the various topics. I found it hard to disagree with anything she wrote. Everything is based on the author's experience, and much of it is universal. The suggestions, "It's Easier to Get into Things Than It Is to Get Out of Them," or "In Really Tough Times, Regularly Take Time Off," for example, are pearls of wisdom for mothers to not only pass onto their daughters, but also to remind themselves of every now and again.

This is a well written collection, with a mature and rational sensitivity. It's an excellent gift book--for our daughters, and our friends who have daughters, and, of course, for mothers too. I recommend it.

"When you've made your point, sit down," reads the last entry. So, I will.

EXCELLENT ITEM!!

I really liked this book. It made me open up my eyes to things that I really need to concentrate on in my life.It made me realize what was important and how the littlest things can make you happy. I would recommend this book to anyone. I am recommending it to all of my sorority sisters, and they have also enjoyed the wisdom of this book.

I bought this deck two months ago. I am satisfied with them. They are quite accurate about my current state of mind. They help me get back on track :)

I got hooked on Sonia Choquette after reading her book "Your Heart's Desire: Instructions for Creating the Life You Really Want". I liked it so much that I ordered her "Ask Your Guides" card set and found them to be right on target time after time. I decided to try the "Trust Your Vibes" cards and I have to say that, although they are a different and slightly more complex way of looking at things, they are also very useful tools. Wonderful author... fantastic insights!

I've been using different set of tarot cards for years. Now these Oracle Cards are in my hands. They are very usefull and presise - buy them and use them for troubleshooting - the drawings are full of symbols.
Fun to use and think about.

I ordered 3 decks by Sonia Choquette. They're ALL 3 really lovely, beautifully executed - and together with her books, I find them so encouraging that I have decided to go for a bit of self-study.
Down to earth, practical, easy to read, yet very insightful !! I hope Sonia writes more for me to harvest in the coming years!! many thanks Sonia and many thanks amazon for having all her stuff there to find, and to read. It's great when you can peep inside the books, it makes for MUCH better sales I would think, so I'm definitely FOR a lot more authors and publishers being willing to share a few pages, helps make a choice easier.

This deck corresponds to the books of the same name. They are very helpful and useful in every day guidance. If anything it is great to have them when you need assurance that you are picking up something accurate. The illustration is not as pretty as Choquette's other two decks but the cards are very valuable.

A note about Sonia: She does intensive training with these three decks at a spa in Illinois for $4000 for a weekend. So if you have all three and want further study it will cost you. And psychic training with Sonia is at $3200 plus travel and lodging so be warned ... this is one very expensive soul teacher. If you do get a personal consultation with her, and you hear you are psychic, to do The Hoffman Process, Artist's Way, Mindful Loving, and that you are a sensitive psychic in need of training, should be doing readings for people, need to excercise to align your body with your higher intentions, shouldn't look for a knight on a white horse in love, how your last relationship was karmic past life, don't worry ... she tells everyone that.

Excuse Me, Your Life Is Waiting: The Astonishing Power of Feelings
The Excuse Me Your Life is Waiting Playbook
Dear God! What's Happening to Us?: Halting Eons of Manipulation

I lead a Bible study with 26 leaders who lead others. I found many helpful comments about leading and inspiring others to lead. I plan to use several of the sections for training and encouraging leadership.

I went to a John Maxwell seminar several years ago entitle "Winning with People". This seminar changed my life. I bought several of his books at the seminar and he graciously signed them for me. Go for Gold is a book that not only inspires you but it educates you also. Using some of John's techniques I have been able to change my life and see real results. The SECRET to achieving things in life is people and John Maxwell gives you the tools to interact with people and he truly has a heart for people.

It will only take the reading of at most 10 pages before you will reach the conclusion that Bill Watterson is a genius. He captures the lament of all children whose imagination overpowers them, leading them to other places when they "should" be concentrating on more mundane things like schoolwork. Calvin is a young boy who is always in trouble, yet his problems are a consequence of his tenuous grip on reality. If he can maintain his imagination into adulthood, he no doubt will be very successful as a writer, but as a child, there are strong forces that will strongly dampen his wandering mind.
I was such a child, often preferring to play off by myself on the playground and pretend that I was doing greater things than simply kicking a ball or swinging in a swing. My teachers often wondered about my being alone, yet those were my favorite times during the school day. Elementary school teachers have a collective abhorrence for any child that is "different."
Some people enjoy C & H for the amusement, yet some of us recognize something deeper, the imaginative nonconformist who struggles to hold that characteristic into adulthood. For it is not till adulthood that it is appreciated.

I ordered this item and received it within a week. Very good timing.

I love this book!When my friend got a Calvin and Hobbes book, I did'nt really like it because it was not in color. But once I got this book I loved it! I colored in the ilistrations so now I don't have ANY problems with this book! I want to collect all of the Calvin and Hobbes books, but right now I only have 4. I would reccomend this book to anyone who likes funny books. They are so good my dad reads them! Other good Calvin and Hobbes books are Revenge of the Baby-Sat,Scientific Progress Goes Boink, and Attack of the Deranged Muntant Killer Monster Snow Goons. Well, I guess that's it. BUY THIS BOOK!!!!!!!

This is a funny book about a kid named Calvin and his stuffed tiger named
Hobbes. They do funny stuff and they have adventures. Calvin is a funny six year old. Hobbes is a smart tiger! YOU NEED TO READ IT!

Forgive me if my review runs a bit on the sappy side, but I grew up with Calvin and Hobbes, and I sometimes think they are among the best friends I've ever had. Bill Watterson's comic is gentle, sincere, and magical. At its core it is an examination of what it means to be human, and the value of friendship. Watterson's philosophy of the comic strip was that it should be based around characters rather than gags; we should feel as though we know the protagonists as real people, rather than as interchangeable vehicles for jokes. That comes through on every page, even from the very beginning. Calvin's world has a cast you can probably count on two hands, but every character (except possibly Moe, the bully) has at least a hint of fully-rounded personality. Watterson's world is one of simple pleasures shared with good company.

As with any comic strip, the first collection is rather crude in pretty much every aspect--the drawings, the humor, the personalities--but as a prototype for what would come later, it is not without its own charms. Even at this stage I would hardly call Calvin and Hobbes a forgettable, generic strip. It still has heart and a sense of profundity, even if Watterson had not yet figured out the most effective way to illustrate these things in his strip. It's interesting to see the origin of Hobbes (even if this version was discarded later), the genesis of Calvin's relationship with Susie (the love-hate romance, which will later be toned down, is at the forefront here), the first appearance of Spaceman Spiff, the introduction of a then-unnamed Rosalyn, and so forth. Also, early Calvin and Hobbes are somehow a bit more adorable here than their later incarnations, but you didn't hear that from me.

In an age of disposable comics, Calvin and Hobbes is one of the few childhood experiences of my life that I can actually appreciate more with age. I would not find it an exaggeration to say that Watterson's perspective of life heavily shaped my own, as I find myself much less concerned with superficiality and the plastic culture of Hollywood than many of my reality-TV-addicted, Nike-sporting, iPod-blasting peers, and more appreciative of the little things in life that we tend to take for granted. All Calvin needs to be content is a good friend and a search for adventure, and even as I grow, kicking and screaming, into adulthood, I find I can still relate.

Better than expected with quotes and daily reminders of why we started to run and what motivates us to continue.

The daily readings are well written, appropriate, inspirational and at times informative. This is a great way to start off your day whether you are running that day or not.

The Runner's Book of Daily Inspiration:A Year of Motivation, Revelation, and Instruction is most likely the best investment I have ever made. Last year, I made a resoltion to myself to get in shape, eat healthy, and basically be a fit person inside and out. This is not a very easy resolution to fulfill, as I soon found out. It was my plan to run at least 3 times a week, and supplement it with another form of aerobic exercise. Very quickly, I lost my motivation, and was not living up to my expectations. I came upon this book soon afterwards, and tried to regain my motivation. After restarting my exercise program along with reading this book, I am now running every day of the week, rain or shine, hot or cold, I run through it all, all due this very book. If you buy one book in your life, buy Catcher in the Rye. But if you buy two, buy this one too!

This book was given to me as a gift. Being a "novice runner" of two years, I found this book to be very motivational. It is very intuitive on the thoughts of runners and some of the obstacles runners may encounter and how to get beyond those barriers. I have thought it such an excellent book that I am suprised it is not readily stocked and available for 24 hour shipping, especially during the holiday season. You know us last minute shoppers. Great gift idea for the novice or avid runner in your life if you can find a copy of it in time.

I read this book every day and love it! Kevin Nelson gives practical, fun and whimsical advice to people who love (or want to love) to run.

This book is a must for any crazy quilter. I love the size and the fact that it can lie flat open when using. The drawings are large, clear and easy to follow. Even has directions for left handed. The color photos are wonderful "eye candy". This book sparked so many new ideas for me. It is a MUST HAVE.

This is a must have for every stitcher's library. An excellent stitch guide with wonderful diagrams.

Whether you are a new or experienced stitcher this book gives easy to follow instructions for a wide variety of stitches along with ideas to combine different stitches. I have referred to it many, many times on my current project: a crazy quilt. Money well spent!

The instructions were easy to follow and well illustrated. I am a novice at embriodery and this book was very helpful. It gave me ideas on how to proceed in my crazy quilt.

Bought the book as a gift. Recipient was very pleased with the book. It clearly describes the stitches and how to make them. Full of pictures that enable you to visualize the final result and the process of creating those stitches.
