Book Description
For Jim Currie, a weekend getaway, extended vacation, or business trip can be more than diversion or duty. In The Mindful Traveler, he helps the reader structure journal writing - and the journey - around eight Buddhist archetypes that offer specific skills for problem solving and spiritual progress. Topics include everything from organizing the journal to choosing the appropriate "spiritual touchstones" for the trip.

For Those Who Wish For a Deeper Travel Experience.......2005-05-04
Currie has developed a journaling technique that is sure to bring a deeper, richer and more insightful texture to one's travel experiences. Written as a journaling technique this book is useful even to those who don't keep a journal while traveling as it is full of thought-provoking questions. He advises us to think about our spiritual touchstones - those core beliefs that guide us through life experiences. He then tells us to consider our intentions and objectives in chosing a travel destination. With touchstones and objectives in mind we spend time each day writing about our travel experiences. How are they in keeping with those touchstones, intentions and objections, how are they not in keeping and why? In such self-evaluation, in looking at how we deal with the vagaries of travel we gain many insights into ourselves, and in the end this is why we travel. Currie suggests a debriefing period at the end of our trip - a time for reflection upon what we have learned about ourselves and how to apply it to our life at home. The book is written with a liberal dose of Buddhist philosophy, but is worthwhile even for those who are not on the path of the dharma. In addition there are many practical tips for preparing for a trip as well as dealing with the ups and down of traveling.
Ouch........2004-06-18
This book was not what I expected and therefore the low rating.
The introductory segment about an adventure in Ireland was excellent. I would have liked to have more illustrative segements such as that one.
Some of the tips for organzing a travel journal were helpful. But that was it. I passed the book on to someone who may get more out of it. I don't want to get in touch my inner Budha. I do want to be more mindful of my travels. This book didn't do it for me.
Very specific Guidelines!.......2001-08-20
This book has very specific ideas and guidelines, so if you are a more free-flowing kind of person, it could be irritating. I liked the drawings and the general tone of the book. I'll try out the specifics this October when I go to the Mayan Ruins in the Yucatan.
This book'll be one of the most prized tools in my backpack.......2001-08-06
I read The Mindful Traveler during my subway commute to Manhattan. Last week, on my way home to Brooklyn from the office, I finished it. I was struck by how much it has spoken to me and opened up new ways of thinking and approaching... well, everything.
I bought the book at Barnes & Noble in Union Square one Friday night when I'd just finished deciding that I was going to shed most of my possessions and obligations and go traveling. It was a crisis of sorts, and I'd really reached a point of no return in terms of wanting to transform my life. I bought this book because it offered exactly what I was looking for: a travel guide for the inner-self, drawing on respected eastern philosophy but laced with humor and playfulness, practical tips, and a pretty doable-looking methodology. Something I needed right away, to begin my journey many months before I even started packing.
The book delivered exactly what it promised, and was delightful to read. I couldn't wait to get on the subway every morning! Let me tell you, the commute hasn't been the same since. Now, as I continue to plan my open-ended wandering of the South Pacific and leave everything behind (I'm often pretty freaked about about the idea -- there's that fear of letting everything go, because there might not be anything left), the book this author has shared with us provides me with inspiration and a structured way of turning this life-adventure into a truly meaningful -- and dare I say powerful -- one. I'm [...] excited! Yikes!
This book'll be one of the most prized tools I carry in my backpack.

Travel for your soul.......2001-03-04
This is a timely book, full of wonderful insights and practical advice. Jim Currie does his reader a service with his journal organization system and other down-to-earth time and hassle savers. What I like most of all, however, is the whole concept of the book, the truth that all of our travels are opportunities to expand the spirit and grow out of our accumulated baggage. Jim Currie has written a great guide to truly wise travel, getting to the heart of what makes taking a journey such a universal metaphor for living a conscious life--and he does so with wit and candor.

Excellent explaination of the past and future.......2000-02-23
of American politics as we now know them today. After you read this book, you will understand what a republican is and a democrat is. It deeply explains what has happened to the minorities in our country and does make a good arguement how the 1964 Civil Right Act has been the catalyst to the current situation we have today. This book has made me more politically aware then ever before, and aided me in making a more educated decision of where I stand on the political continuim. This is an undervalued book on the market today, and is a great bargain for the knowledge it will give you of contemporary America.

From the supplier: Maltese writers from the 1960s to the 1980s revived their interest in how the individuals, as well as his conduct and manners, is a vital social factor. following the declaration of Malta's independence from the UK. Writeer-Critic Oliver Friggieri, who is representative of the said era, gave Malta its identity through his writings on the significance of death, man's relation to God, and how the individual is a member of the society. As Malta rearranges its moral resources, Friggieri promotes a broader view of the world by focusing on individual morality and the good and evil in society.

I expected more out of Christies. This slim book gave a brief history of the subject and lots of pictures, but no information on how to evaluate the age or quality of the pieces. A big disappointment.

Customer Reviews:
good book, iffy subject.......2003-04-29
This is a well written book that is far above the typical quickie celebrity bios that you buy in the grocery store. The only qualm I have, is the subject. George Clooney is still rather early in his career. He's handsome and has made good decisions in picking movie parts but this isn't Clark Gable or Gary Cooper. He still has a long way to go before deserving the legend treatment that he gets from this book. Still, if you love George buy this book as a treat to yourself.

George Clooney: An Illustrated Story.......2000-06-27
If you are a George Clooney fan... George Clooney: An Illustrated Story is definitely the book for you! This contains many pictures of George, from the time he was just starting his career to the present with pictures from all of his movies. I was surprised to see photos of George that I had never seen before! You can read about George's early career, from his films and television pilots that flopped...to his successful and most well known character Dr. Douglas Ross on ER. This book is divided into chapters so you can easily find out specific George information. There are 9 chapters starting with "Child's Play." In this chapter you can learn all the basics about George and his family. I really enjoyed this book and I highly recommend it!
Book Description
Bedside Manners is required reading for ER devotees, who will find a wealth of information here-from an inside look at ER and its creator, Michael Crichton, to a viewer's companion featuring detailed reviews of each and every episode of the show and a guide to its cast and characters. There's also a complete Internet guide to Clooney and ER, the "authoritative" ER Drinking Game, and a section of "Clooneyisms"-unusual quotes and bizarre anecdotes from Clooney and the characters he's portrayed. Keenleyside includes something for everyone in this funny, fact-filled, and indispensable book.
Customer Reviews:
Horrible.......2001-11-08
This book is very bad! I don't like to normally be so grim, but I will make an exception for this book.
Oh boy!.......2000-01-25
This book is a true ER and George Clooney masterpiece. The book ties in a biography of ER's greatest star and the show its self. I enjoyed this book from the begining to the end. This book is equiped with every thing a true ER fan could ask for. This is a no brainer. If you don't like this book, you don't like ER.
A GREAT book about Mr. Clooney!.......1999-11-16
This is a great book that should be owned by anybody who is a fan of George, Nick, or Rosemary Clooney. There are some great pictures in it, and a Commic-strip about ER.
This was a great book!.......1999-06-26
This book was great. George Clooney is absolutly great in every way. Read this book if you like George. Its worth the money.
This book is a waste of time........1999-02-12
This is a terrible book. The writter fills up space with drivel gained through People magazine articles and Hard Copy television shows. The book breathlessly meanders through George Clooneys life leaving the reader to think; "so what". The book is further padded with listings of web sites that have at least some connection with Clooney and synopisis' of "ER" shows. Not only did I waste my money buying this book, I wonder if I can sue the writter for the time I wasted reading this poor effort of a book.
Average customer rating:
- For the first time Clooney fan.
- Best book ever printed......ever!
- I THINK GEORGE CLOONEY IS A DOLL.
- This book is good but could have more pictures
- THIS BOOK IS SO AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For the first time Clooney fan........2000-01-25
Just in the past year I have become very interested in George Clooney and his life. This book is good for the first time Clooney fan. I went into this book knowing little about George. This book gives mostly facts, but they are great. In general I really loved the book, but it's major flaw is that the readers don't get to go under the skin of Mr. Clooney, to see what makes him tick. This is a good book if you are not a veteran George Clooney fan.
Best book ever printed......ever!.......2000-01-21
What an enjoyable read, I never put this book down, even when I went to work. More pictures would be the only thing I asked for. And any chance Georgey himself can deliver the next book in person. Cant wait, George is maturing very well, I think I'm in love, again.
I THINK GEORGE CLOONEY IS A DOLL........1999-03-08
I THINK THAT GEORGE CLOONEY SHOULD NOT HAVE LEFT, ER
This book is good but could have more pictures.......1998-10-11
If you need more info on George read this book but if all you want to do is browse through some gorge piccies of him then don't by this book. There are only 6 pictures but they are nice.
THIS BOOK IS SO AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......1998-08-12
This book give you basic facts, good if you're not familiar with HIM. There's a REALLY NICE color picture section!! Overall, this is a great book to pick up !!!

Book Description
He's famous for being named People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive, his penchant for practical jokes, and his vow never to remarry, as well as his Oscar-winning and Emmy-nominated acting career. But George Clooney's reputation as "the mayor of every movie set he's on" belies his essential seriousness, as a businessman and in his ascendancy to the Hollywood A-list. In George Clooney: The Last Great Movie Star, Kimberly Potts traces the star's life from the small-town boy to big-screen star. After spending a decade languishing in failed TV series, he slowly and deliberately built a resume that took him from TV stardom on ER to a winning film career as a serious actor, writer, producer and director. Along the way are his early attempts to break out into film (including his Batman movie flop),his many well-publicized romances, his political and humanitarian efforts, and his shrewdly developed formula for choosing smart blockbuster movie projects that he uses to finance his more personal passion projects, such as Syriana and good night, and good luck., finding success with both.
