"Finding Your True Self" audio tape series allows self-healing thru affirmations that inspire hope for your future. Side A of the tape is spoken affirmations said in the first person "I" and the second person "You". The "I" concept is spoken as if we are talking to ourself or what we would hear in our head. The "You" concept is what we would hear from another person that was talking directly to you. The format allows the listener to utilize both ways to help develop themself. The second side of the tape is subliminal messages recorded under a mild, calming music. While listening to the music I felt very relaxed. I noticed the verbal affirmations do inspire faith in oneself. The affirmations address a wide series of subjects from beliving in oneself to accepting change. I find the time I have invested listening to the tape to be very worthwhile. I hope to purchase additional tapes by Dr. Bernie Siegel, M.D. Thank you

This book is narrated by a charming adolescent about his father's experiences as a zoo director in the 1930's. It has a lot of the humor and fondness that adolescents often have about their parents.

There are, of course, animal stories and stories about dealing with the public and administrators and stories about how zoos, often strapped for money, trade for new animals.

There are stories about small town Kansas people who become explorers and the public's response to them.

Without giving away details, I can't communicate how funny this book is and what an interesting view it is of Wichita, Kansas in the 1930's. That was a diffcult and simpler time in towns. This book reveals a lot about the way other generations dealt or didn't deal with issues that remain today.

I read this book after taking it out from the library. After laughing until tears ran down my face and gasping, I decided to get the book for myself. It is the perfect read for those dismal nights when sleep won't come although unhappy thoughts do.

If you like family stories, zoo stories, animal stories, Kansas stories and stories from the 30's before the Second World War, try this one out.

I loved this book. It even makes me smile writing this review.

Bernie Glassman is one of the greatest American Zen teachers. In this book, he goes deeply into some core teachings of Zen. He starts with the Heart Sutra (Prajnaparamita Hridaya Sutra). When I started attending a Zen temple, the nightly chanting of this sutra always confused me, but Glassman's line-by-line analysis shows how this sutra contains great wisdom, and makes understanding clearer.

His analysis of the precepts has been the most helpful to me. He explains the various ways of interpreting each precept, and demonstrates the need for balance. For instance, one of the precepts is non-killing. Some sects of Buddhism extend this to not killing insects and micro-organisms. Glassman explains that to understand this precept, we need not follow it to this level, but we must be aware of it, and try to cause less damage. The precepts, on some level, are an admonition to try our best, and Glassman's discussion will help us to be peacemakers in each moment of our lives.

A book you can't put down. This is the type of book that almost anyone can find an interest in. If fishing is not your game, well the author describes how God has affected his life. But if you are a fisherman, then this book is a most. It takes you through moments of dealing with 5 foot waves and the stresses of making a living fishing and how Daryl's life of pro fishing has affected the rest of his family. I wish there were more books like it. Thanks Daryl.

In 1940, Hitler had conquered continental Europe with little resistance, and the predictions were that Britain would be next. Under the command of Squadron Leader Stanley Croft, pilot Officer Bogdan Kapolski leads the Red Section across the skies of England. He becomes an Ace flier when he takes down his fifth plane. Indeed, a wizard in the air, Kapolski becomes one of the best fighter pilots in the Royal Canadian Air Force. He brings those skills to the table again in the Korean War, and then during the Cold War when his government calls him to action to pilot the last flight of the Arrow.

In 1945 in the Mariana Islands, a guest reporter Ben Spencer, Canadian war correspondent for the Vancouver Daily News, accompanies a mission to drop bombs on Tokyo. Hits to the plane's port wing and leaking fuel force the crew and reporter to bail out and send a distress call for air-sea rescue. The crew and reporter float in the water and wait for a sub to find them. Spencer's daring to accompany dangerous missions creates a solid reputation for him, later giving him free reign, in his column printed in the Toronto Tribune, to boldly attack policies and politicians that don't, in his view, fulfill Canada's best interests, including the end of the Arrow program. His own investigations in the Arrow will fuel controversy and help bring about the public end of the aircraft.

With the advent of the missile age, heralded by the Russian Sputnik, manned interceptors become obsolete. On February 20, 1959 the Canadian prime minister announces to the House of Commons the end of the CF-105 Avro Arrow supersonic fighter-interceptor program. Three hundred million dollars had already been invested in an aircraft, and its draining the economy. Further, Russia claims that the Arrow is a threat to world peace, and promises to disband her own buildup of planes in return for the end of the Arrow project. They do not fulfill their promise. Meanwhile, Canadian and American intelligence learns of their plans, and the Canadians pretend to end the Arrow program, staging an end to the Arrow program while they actually move bases to the far north. As politics, the media, and espionage converge, it will be up to Kapolski to pilot the mission that prevents the advent of World War III.

Espionage and intrigue abound in Daniel Wyatt's THE LAST FLIGHT OF THE ARROW. This is a fictional tale based on the myth that some of the Arrows escaped destruction and were used to preserve the free world. Originally published by Random House, where it sold 20,000 copies, the novel has been revised to include more intrigue. Indeed, the cloak and dagger games of the CIA, Canadians and Russians lend the novel amazing conviction. As international tension builds, Wyatt's plot moves at a fast clip, skillfully maintaining the pace and the reader's attention. Credible characterizations bring the plot to life, interwoven with the technical jargon and avionic facts that keep the novel firmly grounded in history. Yet the avionic facts never bog the narrative, keeping the tale fresh even for those who are not necessarily aviation buffs. Very highly recommended.

Living Behind the Shield is not just another "cop" book in my opinion. If it were, I probably would not have written it! This book gives you a very different angle while viewing the law enforcement officer both on and off the job. While not geographically specific, I do use North Carolina as an example when explaining what it takes to become an officer. Otherwise, the text is educational for future or veteran officers everywhere.

You will get a brief diary of some calls that I have participated in that left an imprint in my mind. I also give you a glimpse as to what can and does happen in our lives even when the badge comes off at the end of the shift.

Finally, an unexpected message of hope encircles the final chapter that I felt all could benefit from. If you ever wondered what makes us officers "tick", then this book is for you!

I have listened to this audio cassete and found the author Bernie Siegel very helpfull. He explains that life is difficult and yet it must be fair. He explains that we were brought to this world to contribute our talents. He also explains that if something does not go our way, that god is leading us to our destiny and everything happens for a reason. When the author tells you to go into meditation, he explains where the best scenario will be to meditate and how you meditate is up to you. I recommend this audio tape for anyone going through difficult times. After listening to this audio tape, I found myself relieved and with a new purpose in life to succed in this very difficult world.

This is has real powerful meditations that work! I use this cassette whenever I feel as though my immune system is not up to par.

As a woman who is searching for the man of her dreams, I ran across this book, in a used bookstore, last week. I was stunned by how I have played into, and been held back by the 10 myths.

I was reading page 88 of this book, while sitting in a coffee shop, and even though the male sitting across the table from me was a stranger, I just had to ask him to read "The Letter From Your Penis" exercise. Luckily, he is a resident. We had a great conversation, which ended with his walking away, and into the bookstore, next door. This book affirmed my right to ask for and get what I want. I used this book to think back on past relationships, who I was, who he was, and what mattered then. Many of the exercises were easy for me to turn into being exercises about my own sexuality, my childhood programming, and what it means to be a great lover to the man of my dream. And, although I am not in a relationship right now, I am so grateful that reading this book, has enhanced what I will ask for, expect and get, in a man, long before either of us are off our feet.
