Presenting To Win: The Art Of Telling Your Story by Jerry Weissman is a fantastic book. I’m not sure what drew me to it. I am not in a position where I give formal presentations very often and frankly I avoid using audiovisual aids if at all possible. Prior to reading this book I also … [Read more…]
Gifts From Eykis is another magnificent book from Wayne Dyer. This is a bit different than most of his other books because it is written in the form of a novel, rather than a typical self-help book. Eykis is a visitor from the planet Uranus. First, the main character from Earth visits the planet Uranus … [Read more…]
I loved this book. I already was in love with the Annie Moses Band, having attended one of their concerts in Ohio. I knew a little of their story before, but this book made me fall in love with them all over again. The writing is captivating, the story compelling, and the wisdom is priceless. … [Read more…]

Dreamsong of the Eagle was written by the late Ted Andrews and illustrated by Deborah Hayner. I had the great fortune of hearing this book recited by the author at a local gathering. I was tremendously excited when he took the stage and then was even more enthralled when I realized that he was going … [Read more…]
While traveling through Arizona many years ago I read Songs of the Gorilla Nation: My Journey Through Autism by Dawn Prince-Hughes, Ph.D. As the secondary title indicates, this is a first-hand account of autism. The author offers a vivid and insightful account of autism. She was diagnosed rather late in her life, after a childhood … [Read more…]
I’m not sure when I purchased the book, or how long it had been on my shelf before I finally got around to reading it. It was probably sitting there for quite a while. I have a habit of letting books call to me at the time of sale, but not necessarily reading thenm promptly. … [Read more…]

In addition to being a great introductory text for EP work and tapping, this book has … [Read more…]
