Creating Confidence - The Secrets of Self-Esteem
I found this book to be pretty slow at first and was not getting much out of it, until I got about half way through. It has some very powerful excercises later on, and the effects that it has had for me in just a few short weeks has been fantastic. It has really helped me to reorient my life at a time when I really needed it. It's a great book, and I highly recommend it. Anyone can benefit from the excercises and improve his/her self-esteem.

Fascinating
David Johnson has done us all a great favor by finally writing a biography of the most amazing "Doc" Freeman. The son of a Confederate soldier, Douglas Southall Freeman's life is a study in self-discipline and perseverance. Freeman was a man who crammed 4 careers into one life - Pulitzer (One for the biography of General Lee and one post-humously for George Washington) winning author, newspaper editor, teacher and broadcaster. Ever since learning of Freeman many years ago, I'd wondered why no biography had ever been written of him. Freeman was a man that was faithful to his calling, to serving his fellow man and to serving his God. The book should be in every history lover's library. ~ Richard G. Williams, Jr., editor of "The Maxims of Robert E. Lee" to be released in November.

Extremely funny and easy to use. Excellent presentation.
I actually used the basic book for the Atari. Dr. Wacko has an easy style and approach to learning to program. He even includes already written programs to play around with and incourages the user to add in his\her input. This book was my favorite of around 100 books. Unfortunately, I lost the book through theft.
Dr. C. Wacko's Miracle Guide to Designing and Programming Your Own Atari Computer Arcade Games
Published in Paperback by Addison-Wesley Pub Co (1983)
Amazon base price: $12.95
Average review score:
I used this book so much I litterally wore it out.
I was given this classic about 15 years ago. It was the basis of everything I ever knew about programming in Atari BASIC. Now I am learning Visual Basic and C++. All the basic concept I laened from Dr. C. Wacko still aply. It's unfortunate that due to the fact Atari BASIC and Atari computers have become obsolete, so has this hilarious and educatonal book. It's better than the "complete idiot's guide's" or "...for dummies" books could ever hope to be. Wouldn't it be great if David Heller wrote new books for current programming languages?
