Book Review – The Third Plate

Why All of the Book Reviews?

March 26, 2018 by drleannamanuel Leave a Comment

Thanks for the question.  The quick answer is that I’m addicted to books.  The long answer is that I believe strongly in bibliotherapy. The term bibliotherapy may be relative modern; however, the concept of using books for healing is reportedly as old as the sign of the anxiety Grecian library at Thebes which translates as, … [Read more…]

Many of my friends and followers already know that I am intrigued by the Dalai Lama.  I was privileged to hear him speak in person once and have been very moved by most of his interviews and books.  What I have found most compelling is the apparent congruity between his teachings and his life.

Book Review – The Journeys of Socrates

March 17, 2018 by drleannamanuel Leave a Comment

This book is a prequel of sorts to the Peaceful Warrior books.  I was quite excited when the book was announced and I haven’t been disappointed.  I’ve now read it multiple times.  Beyond his exceptional ability as a storyteller, Dan Millman succinctly captures the essence of our modern yearnings for lives that make sense, embrace … [Read more…]

Book Review – Breaking Free

February 25, 2018 by drleannamanuel Leave a Comment

I’m not sure what I thought Breaking Free by Chet Vosloo was going to be about.  It was on my Kindle and I was bored and needed something to read so I opened it up.  At first I thought it was going to be a contemporary romance.  It seemed to be a guy hanging out … [Read more…]
