#Phenomenal book (2008-11-25) I highly recommend this book. While the topic is quite scientific, the authorhas been able to engage the reader easily with compelling, memorable stories. A great eye-opener! #An Insightful Read (2008-03-12) With roughly 260 pages and seven chapters (including the conclusion), Blink is a well-written and insightful book on the subject of accurate snap judgment or two-second of looking. This book gives us, the reader, a great deal of information about our moment to see things accurately, either in quick reaction, warnings, reading strangers, as it is very much like gut feelings or first impressions. I personally found this book to be quite fascinating and insightful to which I enjoyed both Gladwell s flowing writing style and his clear organization. It took... #Revealing (2008-03-03) Another great book by Gladwell. The best part is that he explains why gut feelings may not be correct. Many people go to the bank with gut feelings and lose. Gladwell explains why. On the other hand some people do well with gut feelings. (All is basically the quality of the information that you store in your subconscious. ) An aha! type of book. #At last! a twist to the old marketing idea (and other human topics)! (2007-12-10) Wow! Finally I get to read a book that shows the other side of this coin. M. Gladwell makes a superb work at giving a different idea of how we make judgements and therefore, how we can manage under certain circumstances those belly messages (according to his book, perhaps, only perhaps, we should give more credit to them than we do. . . ). Each reader can make his / her own interpretation of the cases presented and then, understand and apply to every particular experience. Every case presented in this... #Insightful look at snap decisions (2007-11-08) No wonder this is a best seller. The author explains in an easy to follow way, the power of snap decisions and how they work. It shows how powerful and accurate instantaneous decisions can be, that we often are at odds to explain how we arrived at. Gladwell explains how these decisions are arrived at by the meticulous gathering of information by our unconscious. However they are not always accurate and this is largely due to bias, such as stereotyping and prejudices. No doubt hormones play a role in that bias too, such as when people ...

#THE number one cognitive therapy book! (2004-01-28) If there was ever a book that could change your life, this is one of them. It s so practical, insightful, intelligent, and useful. It has had a big influence on myself, and on my outlook on life. I love the way the authors (Dr s Greenberger and Padesky) use complete and incomplete thought records to ",teach", the reader how to do it for him/herself. It has truly been of great help to me in recognizing my own patterns of distorted thinking as well as the ",alternative/balanced", thinking which has helped to impr... #It Helped Me to Change my Life (2003-06-26) This book helped give me exercises to learn how to deal with my depression and anxiety. It s important to slowly do the exercises and complete the entire book. I feel like a new person in control of my thoughts and feelings. I recommend it highly. #excellent introduction to CBT (2003-04-16) I ve used this workbook successfully as a therapist at a community mental health clinic serving poorer clients in Tucson AZ. I ve used it in individual and group therapy. Frankly, I ve found ",Mind Over Mood", much more user-friendly than the more popular ",Feeling Good Handbook", by David Burns, which contains similar cognitive therapy methods. The ",thought record", chart, in particular--the heart of CBT--is more straightforward in Mind Over Mood. They ve set up seven intuitive columns, from left to right. Bu... #It Cured my Anxiety (2003-01-10) If you suffer from Anxiety this is a MUST READ book! The book is simple but yet highly effective in the treatment of depression and anxiety. The worksheets along with the examples are fabulous. I have been anxiety free since reading the book. I definitely give it 5 stars. #Excellent Workbook -- A supplement to cognitive self-help (2002-11-27) In my opinion this is a truly excellent WORKBOOK. The couple of negative reviews seem to be missing the point that workbooks are, by their nature, supplements -- either supplements to therapy or to a text-rich psychology book that is not done in workbook form. OK? I think that is the key issue. I use this workbook as a supplement to working through the chapters of my favorite book on cognitive self-help psychology, which is The Positive Power of Negative Thinking by Julie Norem. For me, it is a very helpful, ins...

#Very important book (2004-06-14) This is a crucial book to evaluate for those suffering from depression but skeptical of the effectiveness of most psychologists and self-help books. Burns is one of the biggest popularizers of cognitive-behavioral therapy, one of extremely few therapeutic forms that have stood up to any scientific scrutiny. Over the last 20 years, CBT has become the predominant form of therapy practiced by psychologists. This book is intensive CBT, much more involving and direct than the form practiced in most psychologists offices. Burns takes a very simple approa... #Excellent practical advice! (2004-03-03) Because I suffer from bipolar disorder (manic-depression), I have been looking for a something that can help me in some way. Most self-help type books have not helped me. This is the first book that really enabled me to see some light. It has excellent practical advice regarding how to manage your emotions by behaving and thinking in new ways. It takes you through the process step by step and can be understood by ordinary people like myself without rereading it five times. After benefiting from reading this book for a while, I became curiou... #Effectively disentangling the distortions in one s mind (2004-01-05) Hat s off to Dr. Burns for having written a very practical guide anyone can use to combat depression and build positive self esteem. For years I have been in therapy, but I have realized that positive change all comes down to me. Burns provides the simplistic, yet highly effective tools to work through one s distortions on a daily basis. As he emphasizes, merely reading the book will not help. It is reading, understanding, but most importantly, DOING the exercises on paper that will produce results. Burns writes... #Very Helpful Sequel to Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy (2003-11-26) I found this book to be very helpful as an adjunct to Burns s previous book Feeling Good. While not absolutely essential, I think most people would benefit from reading and applying the techniques from Feeling Good prior to studying The Feeling Good Handbook. Once you have the basics down from the former book, you can more easily benefit from the specific techniques in the Handbook. I especially found the chapters on procrastination to be very helpful. I was able to go from extremely depressed to normal and happ... #The most useful self help book I ve ever read. (2003-11-13) Trying to overcome negative emotions and habits by thinking positive thoughts and applying advice given in many self-help books is like trying to solve the quadratic equation in your head. The thing that sets this book apart is that it gives you a step by step written procedure with which you discover, analyze and dispute the thoughts that make you feel bad. After doing the written exercise - the triple column technique, I found that the new rational thoughts attached themselves to the negative emotions I was trying to ove...

	Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life: Create Your Life, Your Relationships, and Your World in Harmony with Your Values Average Customer Rating: (4) Marshall B. Rosenberg Price: CDN$ 30.27 (17 available) Tags: General, General AAS, Interpersonal Relations, General AAS, General, General AAS, General, General AAS, Family Health, General, General AAS, General, General AAS
#Easy to Read, Difficult to Apply (2004-04-26) While I agree with another reviewer who questioned the rather stilted examples in the book, I believe that the premises on which this book is based are absolutely sound - that all humans want to be understood and acknowledged. I ve worked myself, and coached adult students to work through some of the example scenarios. They prompted lively debate, critical thinking and crucial self-reflection about our own styles of communicating with ourselves and others. We realized that we often put judgement into our language when we think we are simp... #Good material, but presentation leaves a bit to be desired (2004-04-07) I borrowed this book from the local library after it caught my eye, sitting on the ",new books", display. It s a pretty good book, although I do have some reservations about it. /Nonviolent Communication/ is a rather easy read. This is both good and bad - good, because you re not slogging through lots of academia-speak and technical jargon, but also bad because you might breeze through the book too quickly to truly absorb the rather useful and insightful information it is offering. The idea behind the N... #New edition s chapter on self-compassion well worth reading (2003-12-28) In November, 2000, I read the previous edition of this book. . . The quality of empathy I now am able to provide has enlivened my therapy practice, and meets my need for hope that I can contribute to the well being of my clients, and also connect deeply with my friends and family. The step-by-step empathy skills in this book are learnable by anyone. . This latest edition of Dr. Rosenberg s book has a completely new chapter called, Connecting Compassionately with Ourselves. It s about what he calls, self-compass... #Profound! The most important book I ve ever read. (2003-12-18) Initially I thought this book wouldn t be relevant to me since I didn t consider myself a ",violent", communicator. A few pages into the book however, it became evident to me that despite my easy-going nature, I had much to learn about communication. Dr. Rosenberg identifies learned communication that disconnects us from each other and is at the very root of violence. He then offers a simple yet powerful 4 step model that leads to respectful and compassionate communication. One catch - while the model is simple...

	Godel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid Average Customer Rating: (193) Douglas R. Hofstadter Price: CDN$ 11.69 (22 available) Tags: Computer Mathematics, General, General AAS, Bach, Johann Sebastian, General, General AAS, General, General AAS, Logic, General, General AAS, Logic, Artificial Intelligence, General AAS, General AAS, General AAS, General AAS, General AAS
Twenty years after it topped the bestseller charts, Douglas R. Hofstadter s Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid is still something of a marvel. Besides being a profound and entertaining meditation on human thought and creativity, this book looks at the surprising points of contact between the music of Bach, the artwork of Escher, and the mathematics of Gödel. It also looks at the prospects for computers and artificial intelligence (AI) for mimicking human thought. For the general reader and the computer techie alike, this book still sets a standard for thinking about the future of computers and their relation to the way we think. Hofstadter s great achievement in Gödel, Escher, Bach was making abstruse mathematical topics (like undecidability, recursion, and strange loops ) accessible and remarkably entertaining. Borrowing a page from Lewis Carroll (who might well have been a fan of this book), each chapter presents dialogue between the Tortoise and Achilles, as well as ot... #A wonderful read for all aspiring thinkers (2004-07-10) The Atlanta Journal Constitution describes Gödel, Escher, Bach (GEB) as ",A huge, sprawling literary marvel, a philosophy book, disguised as a book of entertainment, disguised as a book of instruction. ", That is the best one line description of this book that anybody could give. GEB is without a doubt the most interesting mathematical book that I have ever read, quickly making its place into the Top 5 books I have ever read. The introduction of the book, ",Introduction: A Musico-Logical Offering", begins by quic... #A readable Mobius strip (2004-06-25) If you have never read this book, then I d like to say that it has a lot of the most greatest knowledge out there. It doesn t just deal with math, art, and music, but also with zen, philosophy, self-ref, self-rep, holism, reductionism, and everything else that is considered pure knowledge of cognitive science and general intelligence. I don t know why some of the people rating it have no idea of what s it about, it s not about Godel s theorem like many think it is, it s about consciousness and how the power of the mind and the ",I", come... #Pseudo-science at best (2004-06-23) I quite agree with the reviewer from East Hartford. Maybe I am not extremely eligible to comment on the portions dealing with Escher and Bach, respectively (I have no appetite for Escher. I like chamber music of Bach and somtimes play his keyboard music but my performance level is, of course, that of amateur. )But I must say the part dealing with Gödel s Theorem of Incompleteness is complete garbage. I am convinced anyone with a degree of mathematics will agree with me: for those who have no background in mathematics, I assure you that Göd... #A book that is about more than Godel, Escher, and Bach (2004-06-18) This book is an excellent introduction to several ideas in cognitive science, biology, mathematics, linguistics, computer science, art, and other fields. It cleverly reveals how different fields influence each other in a cross disciplinary fashion and actually embeds this structure inside the book. I won t go into more detail, but as soon as you read the book, you will see how this is done. The writing is crisp and engaging, almost as if Lewis Carroll, Noam Chomsky, and your favorite professor in college gave bir... #Pretty good book! (2004-05-25) I haven t really heard any hype about the book (a lot of the other reviewers are saying the book doesn t live up to its hype). I m about 2/3 through, and it s really interesting! I m not really sure what the message is, but I just like that it makes me think about interesting things. I m an undergrad student doing a summer research project in math, so when I get a bit tired of really rigorous math, this is a nice break for me, but it still keeps me thinking.
