Self-help Books Are Popular Reading


There are many common mental problems that can plague our every day lives, making us unhappy and sick. Worry, stress, anger, fear, depression, insomnia, self-doubt, nervousness are some of the worse. Since each day lost to these ills cannot be replaced, we ought to be doing something about it.



While we should always consult a medical professional when we have physical or mental problems, there are often many ways that we can help ourselves to a better life.



In the area of self-help there is much to draw upon when looking for ways to improve our lives. Many ideas have been written by great thinkers of the past and best-selling authors of today. Often words written two thousand years ago are more effective than words written today, perhaps because they have withstood the test of time.



These ideas are easy enough to understand, but more difficult to practice. But it just takes practice. A good place to start is the self-help or self-improvement section of your public library or bookstore. If you think that this is an odd place in which to be seen, think again. There are very many big selling self-help titles to choose from. These books are popular reading.



Start with the most popular books on various self-help topics. Reread the better ones, highlight the best phrases, and take notes. Set aside fifteen minutes a day to help make good thinking and happy, satisfied feelings a way of life. It could be the best time investment you ever made.



"All truly wise thoughts have been thought already thousands of times; but to make them truly ours, we must think them over again honestly, till they take root in our personal experience." - Johann von Goethe (1749-1832)

New York Giants - Super Bowl XLII Champions - Commemorative Paperback Book



New York Giants - Super Bowl XLII Champions - Commemorative Paperback Book
Relive the greatest moments of Super Bowl XLII with this beautiful new commemorative book, capturing the action and pageantry of the New England Patriots and New York Giants title clash. It's the perfect addition to your sports library and for display in your home or office. This 128 page softcover book is filled with quality color photography and highlights of the Patriots Undefeated Season. Officially licensed by the NFL.

Customer Review: Great Story and a Poster Too!

The Giants may not have been perfect during the regular season but they were in the playoffs with one exciting win after another, each being more spectacular than the previous one! The Patriots came into the game forgetting the one big rule in most team sports that great defense will always beat a great offense!



The Giants grew as a team during the season and learned from each game. Having lost to Dallas, Green Bay and New England, they made adjustments to compensate for those loses and as rookie players began to shine, the Giants morphed into a team of destiny winning the most exciting Super Bowl ever! A must have for any Giants fan.







The Present



The Present
Customer Review: Difficult to find

I had never heard of this cd, came across it browsing your site. There was fast shipping and the product got here still sealed.

Customer Review: Better than I remembered

3.5 stars



This was a follow-up to their #1 album, Long Distance Voyager, and I think these guys climbed such heights with LDV that they set themselves up to fail on this one. At least, that was my initial impression. If memory serves correctly, I gave this a try a couple of times when it was initially released, and then set it aside and started listening to LDV again.



With the iPod revolution, I've started listening to some of my older music again, and I thought I'd give this another shot. What I discovered was that *I* had been expecting The Moody Blues to produce another LDV, and so was disappointed to get The Present. That was most unfortunate, because while The Present doesn't stand up head-to-head with LDV, there's a lot of worthy music here.



I'll admit, though, that I still found Blue World and Meet Me Halfway lacking and disappointing - bland music that doesn't really go anywhere. I'd always loved Sitting at the Wheel from the first time I heard it, and found that to be the same again. With different lyrics, it might have been a bigger hit for them. What I discovered was that Going Nowhere, It's Cold Outside of Your Heart, and Sorry (and perhaps I Am) were very notable songs. In fact, I've listened to Sorry by itself about eight times in the last two weeks alone.



The lesson, if there is one, is this: don't expect your favorite bands to give you exactly what they gave you before. You might miss out on some good music.



That said, many bands, when they release an album that becomes their "biggest hit ever" do try and duplicate that success. I think that Journey did it (unsuccessfully) - every song they released from Frontiers had a parallel on Escape.



I'm glad I gave this another go.

Customer Review: Solid, quiet and fast

I've had this for a little over a month now, and have been using it in a mirrored RAID configuration. It is currently serving as my TimeMachine backup destination, and as the storage for my media server. It's nice and fast, and quiet enough that it does not distract from watching movies or listening to music. Additionally, it looks quite nice on my bookshelf.



I would recommend this drive to anyone, and will most definitely buy another when this fills up.

Customer Review: Terrific Drive

This is my second My Book drive; I liked my 500G one so much that I had to upgrade to the 2T with RAID and I am very impressed with the performance. Installation is really easy and the drive is fast and reliable. It automatically sleeps if you don't access it for a while and wakes up when you need it so it's energy efficient too. Works fine on all the interfaces but Firewire 800 is obviously the best. No negatives at all.
