100 simple secret to great relationships

These are good for quick review of topics. The better book is a larger publication by same author, David Niven, not the actor. They have more information and better for making changes for yourself.100 Simple Secrets of Great Relationships: What Scientists Have Learned and How You Can Use It

This fun, easy read is the ideal gift for engaged couples! I love how Niven breaks down his simple secrets into fun blocks of text, and the survey elements will definitely interest both bride and groom. Help your favorite bride- and groom-to-be prepare for a happy married life...this book is WAY better than a blender or other shower gift. :)

I have read all of Dr. Niven's books and have found EVERY one of them to be FANTASTIC! People, Relationships, Best Half of Life, Happy People, etc have all been wonderful ideas with the research the idea is based on. As a psychologist, I hate suggesting books (bibliotherapy) that is half-baked or some crap off Opera. David Niven's is concrete, shouldn't offend anyone with a 'religious' overtone (get over it anyways), and not likely to lead them off to some cult or guru. Just plain, safe, reliable and healthy perspectives. Truly "what scientists have learned and how you can use it."

110 Strategies for Feeling Great
Rating (4)
Date: 2009-02-04
I read "110%: 110 Strategies For Feeling Great Every Day" by Pat Croce with Bill Lyon after reading Croce's "I Feel Great and You Will Too!" "110%" is good for what it is, but I did not enjoy it near as much as I enjoyed "I Feel Great." The first book contained a lot about Croce and his story was motivating, and it was a very enjoyable read. "110%" does not have that same feeling, and you don't connect with Croce like you do with his first book.
Part of this is the way the book is written. This book has 110 lessons or strategies for feeling great. These amount to one per page. Each page has two quotes on the top, which I really liked, and if you like quotes you will most likely enjoy these as well. After the two quotes, there is a big message in bold print such as "Give Compliments," "Do Your Best," "Declare a holiday." And "Mute the day." After the large print, there are a couple paragraphs about that strategy with motivating words to do these activities to make you feel better, or as Croce likes to say, to make you feel great.
I like the quotes, and I like the general message of the book. However, it was not as enjoyable as Croce's first book, and you don't get to know the person like you did with that first one. Also, some of the entries are just too basic and maybe reaching to ensure they reached 110 entries. With that said, I still think it is a good text if you want a quick pick-me-up and some ideas of activities you can do to make yourself feel better, or maybe even feel great. Croce is definitely a person who is full of enthusiasm for life, and reading this book just might give you reasons to be more enthusiastic as well. I definitely think it is worth reading, but I'm giving it four stars compared to five stars I give "I Feel Great."
Reviewed by Alain Burrese, author of Hard-Won Wisdom From the School of Hard Knocks and the dvds: Hapkido Hoshinsul, Streetfighting Essentials, Hapkido Cane, the Lock On Joint Locking Essentials series and articles including a regular column on negotiation for The Montana Lawyer.

Who else but Pat Croce can motivate the way he does. The problem most people have - myself included, is maintaining that feeling in your day to day life. With 110 strategies and positive stories, surely even the most miserable of the bunch can use at least 1 strategy to stay positive.
I feel this book is not a guide to a better day as much as it is a reminder of how great life really is, and that we all should stop and smell real fresh cut roses once in while.

I think the world of what Pat Croce has accomplished but this book is beneath him.It was co-authored and I wonder just what part Croce played in the writing and content. Reading it I had the feeling I wasted my money, finishing it I had a feeling of great disappointment. I read a lot of motivational books and this is a light weight. Purchase his first book it was a lot better.

Fell in love with this book

The idea's presented in this book are extremely romantic and a great resource for inspiration. By the time I was on the third page, I grabbed a pen and started putting little hearts next to the suggestions I wanted to refer back to, most of which I felt idealized romance. Sometimes we need mini romance jump-starts to keep us on track, and this book is perfect for that. The repetetiveness on jewelry gifts, extravagent or costly romantic ideas are there for you to take or leave. I would recommend this book to anyone in love.

As a relationship and romance author, speaker, and coach I read a lot of books about dating, marriage, and romance. 2,002 Romantic Ideas gets a B- on my list. A lot of the ideas focus on improving your attitude and expectations and that can really help your romance. Too many, however, are expensive. Still there are 2,002 ideas and inside you'll find ideas for:Big budgets 296 Have your travel agent create a last minute vacation

1567 Buy a gorgeous crystal chandelier for your bedroom
1914 Run off together to live on a tropical island Some are too generic to be helpful. 9 Fall in love with each other all over again

There are indeed 50,001 name in this book (I'm just taking the word of the author for this, I didn't count). But some of the names are just plain dumb. Pluto? Now is this based on the planet or the cartoon dog? Or how about Grasshopper? Also included are names of several Star Wars characters and multiple derivatives of each. I'm not very impress with this book what so ever.
Next time I will look for a book with less hype and more real names. This book gets 2 stars because it does have some real ,and not stupid, (imo) names. Look at some of the other books and you may find a winner, this isn't it.

I wish I had read these reviews before I bought this awful book. Literally half the names feel like jokes- either things you would never name your kid- like Buffalo? or just last names that would never fit as a first name like- Bullock? This author clearly should have left it with 25,001 names or just stuck to some other hobby. This book was absolutely no fun for us- instead of enjoying the exploration of different names, we spent the whole time trying to weed out the real names from the jokers.

The Name "Apple" Is Only The Beginning....
Rating (2)
Date: 2007-09-07
4 out of 4 customers found this reveiw helpful
The title may hail this book as "50,001 Best Baby Names," but it feels more like about 1,000 normal names and a list of everything from countries to body parts to animals that are supposed to be names. My wife and I hoped this book would give us a few ideas on what to name our recent addition to the family. We already had a list of potential names, but thought that this book would introduce us to a few new names or help us decide whether or not to keep a few borderline names. Well, it does have quite a few interesting names (if you can call them actual names) in it, but for the most part this book is a standard list of normal names with a bunch of idiotic and bizarre words thrown in to meet the 50,001+ quota.
This book is a waste of both time and money. You're best bet is to look up names on the internet. All of the names and meanings that Diane Stafford has compiled in this book can be found on the web for free. I only gave this book two stars because a couple of her lists were interesting to read. Overall, however, this book isn't worth the paper it's printed on. Stay away!!

Important Information For Young Girls
Rating (3)
Date: 2009-04-15
1 out of 1 customers found this reveiw helpful
This book has a lot of important info for young girls however, if you read "The Gift of Fear" by Gavin deBecker, you will get all of this information plus many other important facts and tips. (He wrote the forward in this book). I have read "Gift of Fear twice, my daughter has read it 7 times and carries it with her all of the time (I have replaced it 4 times 'cause she wears it out). She can almost quote it verbatum. I think it is one of the most important books I have ever read and every woman should read it.... His 2 follow up books "Protecting the Gift" and "Fearless" are also a "MUST READ" but neither are as insightfull or as important to each of us as the "GIFT OF FEAR". Kathleen Baty has done a good job of alerting young women to the dangers that await all of us every day, but the book seemed to be a poorly condenced version of "Gift of Fear". Better than not reading either though.

Good, Common Sense
Rating (3)
Date: 2007-02-03
4 out of 5 customers found this reveiw helpful
The information, though brief, proves informative, e.g., five pages on self-defense aerosols like pepper sprays (how they work, foams vs. sprays, etc.) feature in the chapter on self-defense products. Other chapters are similarly broken into sections that contain tips for different realms, such as the home (draw the curtains) and work (have security escort you to your car). The advice is thoughtful and comprehensive, and while much is common sense, this book gathers it all in one place.
The information that is given is basically stuff I already knew. I guess you still have to read it to make sure, because there are still people who don't know some of these things. I think it would be a great book for girls age 13-25 to read. Good gift for girls starting High School & College.

This book covers all the basics of women's safety. I am a woman that teaches self-defense seminars to women in local businesses in my area. I always recommend everyone to read this book. There are helpful resources in there for anyone. Not every word will pertain to every person. But if you just get one thing out of the book, then it was worth it. I read negative reviews of this book. For those people, you do not grasp the importance of safety. You are the ones that think "it can never happen to me."
Every woman should read this!

Criminalization of self protection
Rating (5)
Date: 2006-04-15
2 out of 19 customers found this reveiw helpful
Much has progressed in the last 30 years - as naturally it has regressed (A case for this will be left for other sections, other book reviews).
A case in point: A Girl's Gotta Do What a Girl's Gotta Do. All societies manifest their preferential hierarchy by limiting those of inferior status to defenselessness.
Commonly, this arguement goes that Caesar having his guards could oppress nations for his seurity whereas a slave in possession of the most rudimentary weapon -- for self defense - it could not have been possibly used as armed insurrection) - was considered an offense against the state. Using this logic, some lay claim to the right of unrestricted abilities to repel not simply a single or coupled attack but what amount to hordes of imagined invaders.
As a strong advocate of lifting California's pepper spray restrictions - once a felony - I argued with state legislatures that if prevented from self protection by a useful means - the first strike AGAINST women was accomplished by state legislature itself - holding back a woman's right hand (presumably the one holding the spray canister) which left her to fight single handed against what in many instances is a very determined and trained aggressor. One most men would have some difficulty with.
Naturally the first volley against decriminalization came from well meaning but overly imaginative cops who foretold instance of armed bandits using this non-lethal weapon to more effectually commit criminal acts.
Certainly this has happened - but not nearly to the degree they fantasized about.
A Girl's Gotta Do What a Girl's Gotta Do informs women of certain options now available to them that were once if not forbidden or at least were socially inappropriate. In the same regressive light, this "inappropriateness" that labeled 30 years ago a "seduction" what we now term rape holds that today "defense" (again assuming the lower social strata) that in an earlier time - say 50 years ago - might have saved countless women's lives and reputations.

Great Book!

My sister recommended this book to me and what a great recommendation! I could not put this book down. After I finished her borrowed copy, I went and bought my own copy to read again and use for reference. It's an amazing read and it really changed my life. I now look at life with an entirely new perspective that is more productive and healthier than my previous views on life. I have recommended this book to many of my friends as well. If you're looking for spiritual growth or perhaps for some answers, pick this book up! You'll be amazed how many answers you'll get from it!

Fist, let me say I was only looking for "Our greatest fear" I stumbled upon this, I'm sure through divine intervention. This book is undoubtly, the most instructional book that I have ever read. I have learned so much from it. It has taught me so much about me and my character which allows me to work on it daily. Especially, in my line of work. I only wish I could sit down face to face with Mrs. Willamson and have a conversation. I love this book and would recommend it to all my friends.

Who are you not to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?
Rating (5)
Date: 2010-02-11
This book is wonderful because it celebrates finding the meaning and purpose of your life in making a contribution to others. Marianne rightly points out that you don't have to apologize for being amazing. You can be humble in the service of others and still radiate energy and light. While not billed as a motivational book, it is actually one of the most motivating books you'll ever read. You don't have to be "spiritual" to gain from this book. You just need to be a member of this planet. That's why I recommend it to everyone. (Interestingly, Nelson Mandela has been credited with some of the quotes from this book. Marianne never raised a fuss about that, no doubt because she was more concerned about the message being heard than getting credit for it. That's one of the reasons I admire her.)

I credit this and another book (Mad In America: Bad Science, Bad Medicine, and The Enduring Mistreatment of the Mentally Ill) with saving me from suicide. It taught me how to forgive myself and relate peacefully to my higher power at a time when I didn't think either task was possible. Marianne Williamson is clearly not perfect; nobody is. But her nuggets of wisdom are just so good that time and time again my mood is improved and my perspective shifted, just by opening this book that I originally read so many years ago.
