The Last Lecture

CD-Charts > Books > Health- Mind and Body
by: Randy Pausch, Jeffrey Zaslow

Release Date April 08, 2008
How one dies can say a lot about how one lives.

Randy Pausch, Professor at Carnegie-Mellon and kid at heart at age 47 is asked to give a last lecture. This is a comparatively new tradition where distinguished academics give a lecture from the point of view that it will be their last. It is an opportunity for the scholar to pontificate on "what really matters". Pausch however was scheduled to deliver his after being told that his pancreatic cancer had metastasized and that he had three to six months of good health remaining.

He could have begged off. In some sense, which he recognized, giving the lecture would be a selfish act, taking precious time away from his wife and young children. But he does, focusing not on ... Read More:

Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association

CD-Charts > Books > Health- Mind and Body
by: American Psychological Association

Release Date 2001-07
Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association is a very good book for people who want to publish and need to know the nuts and bolts. It uses simple language. Its non-linearity is its main strength becuase it directs the reader to the specific topic needed. It is a good academic investment.

A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose (Oprah's Book Club, Selection 61)

CD-Charts > Books > Health- Mind and Body
by: Eckhart Tolle

Release Date January 30, 2008
As the title of my review indicates, this book is to philosophy what chicken nuggets are to fine dining. Tolle is an egotistic flake and his book is a cheap rip-off of Eastern philosophy. His dramatic pretenses at enlightenment, i.e. dead pan stare and drone-like speech, remind me of the scene inside a Buddhist monastery in Jim Carey's Ace Ventura.

What a joke. Oprah has gone off the New Age deep end.

The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals

CD-Charts > Books > Health- Mind and Body
by: Michael Pollan

Release Date August 28, 2007
I am going to write a review here that I am sure that will get pummeled and give me nothing but nasty comments and a billion negative votes. So let me say some good things first. Pollan is a gifted writer, is engaging and entertaining to read. The book and it's premises though are a sure recipe for global disaster. Pollan is more even-handed and fair than most of the books trumpeting the perils of industrial farming, but let me please try to explain why these arguments are dangerously flawed. I will try and give and intelligent and considered response and those of you who must blast back at me, I only ask that your comments are equally considered.

Many people are scared of industrial farming, the inputs that are used, and the genetic engineering ... Read More:

Release Date 2000-06
I thought I was purchasing an authentic DSM IV. To my great dismay, this is not an original publication it is a very poorly made photocopied and/or scanned version. I question if this is allowed under copyright laws. Very disappointed with this purchase.
