Customer Reviews:

Solid Motivation........2005-04-08

This book supplies those who want to succeed in business with good motivation. The author draws upon his experience dealing with businesspeople. He then explains how to use their skills and ideas in our business pursuits. If you are an aspiring entrepreneur you will enjoy it.

So who wrote the good reviews, the author?.......2004-11-15

I was shocked that this book actually got published and distributed. But even more shocking was the fact that it got good reviews, which is why I purchased it. Let's cut to the chase so I don't waste any more time: The book has no logical structure, no table of contents, no index, and I doubt that an editor ever took a quick peek at it. Nearly every sentence is grammatically incorrect or a massive run-on sentence. (There is one other review that backs me up on this.) Nearly every paragraph starts with "The millionaire business owner ...", which makes for incredibly dull reading. Most paragraphs do not even come close to making any logical sense. (I'd give some great examples, but the author would probably sue me for copyright infringement.) Is it possible that this book is just an incredibly bad English translation from a foreign language? I can only hope so. In short, save your time and money America.

Enjoyable Concrete Information.......2004-06-10

I greatly enjoyed the Millionaire Brain and found that it contained some pretty solid advice based on real millionaire business owners.

I also enjoyed reading the Millionaire Next Door.

I think both books are complimentary to each other, although the Millionaire Brain focuses more on millionaire business owners, or on people who made their money through business.

Basic grammar course would help.......2004-05-14

Maybe it's because I was an English major or have read one too many how-to millionaire books, but the junior high school level writing style and grammar errors along with the tortured syntax combined with the basically dry subject matter, drove me away from this book before I could even finish it. I realize that emphasis upon writing style and grammar isn't what it used to be, but, come on, you need to have at least some command of the written English language if you want your readers to labor through to the end of your book. I read long enough to see that the material was good and informative even though much of it appeared to be basic business sense and is becoming more common, mainstream knowledge anyway as entrepreneurial fever continues to sweep the country in light of the unstable corporate world. Unfortunately, you can't even use the book as a reference guide since there are no chapter headings or index at the back. The basic gist of all of this entrepreneurial mania seems to be that you better have a really, really strong desire to achieve your goal/product because you will be spending long, arduous hours/week attending to endless, tedious details every step of the way. This book is another example of how tiresome the how-to book genre is becoming; much of it is just common sense writ long--and in this case, not well. Probably all you need is to expand upon Napoleon Hill's "have a burning desire for a definite goal backed by a definite plan," and Egghead's maxim "energy running through a system tends to organize that system" as you move toward your goal.

Special advice that every entrepreneur should know.......2004-04-14

If you are an entrepreneur looking to gain the success that millionaire business owners enjoy you need to read the Millionaire Brain. You will read the business advice from real world millionaire business owners.
What also makes it such a valuable and exciting read is that all of the advice is divided into chapters that detail with different sections of running a a business, such as marketing, sales, business expansion, and joint ventures.
While my business consists of selling on eBay I have been able to benefit by using the ideas that millionaire business owners share with us throughout this interesting book.

Customer Reviews:

read this before going for it.......2007-05-22

This book provides a very incomprehensive and inadequate exposition of many of the key issues. The first four chapters are the most poorly written with unexplained examples. The book, moreover, gives a very poor explanation of pricing techniques which should have formed the core of this text. ON the whole, i would not recommend it to anyone who wants to gain a good introduction to this topic at this price.

Derivatives - best book in the market.......2001-12-18

When it comes to Derivative products, pricing, valuation, the markets, and all the other issues, such as rating, documentation, accounting and taxation, you could not get a better mentor than Satyajit DAS, and this book is his best ever. It is a collection of topics and authors who are the leaders and the best in the field. THERE is simply NO other book that can be called a HANDBOOK on Derivatives, for everyone, students, financial professions, and professors, and for beginners, as well as advanced.

A poor effort.......2000-06-28

I dislike this book for a number of reasons. Firstly it is incomprehensible, especially the examples. Some of the concepts are also not well explained. Secondly, it is not user-friendly. The ideas demonstrated are not presented in a coherent manner. Lastly, being basically a compilation from different authors, the chapters are also not well connected to each other. Overall a very poor effort.

A hodge-podge of chapters written mostly by accountan ts........1999-08-06

About half the chapters are written by various accountants employed by Price Waterhouse. Only 2 out of about 20 chapter authors are recognizable names in the field.

Very poor description and coverage of key issues........1999-08-01

In my opinion, this book provides a very incomprehensive and inadequate exposition of many of the key issues. The first four chapters are the most poorly written with unexplained examples and difficult to follow diagrams. Some of the latter chapters are a bit better written. The book, moreover, gives a very poor explanation of pricing techniques which should have formed the core of this text. ON the whole, i would not recommend it to anyone who wants to gain a good introduction to this topic.

Book Description

The startling and ultimately uplifting narrative of one woman's thirteen-year experience as a foster parent.

For more than a decade, Kathy Harrison has sheltered a shifting cast of troubled youngsters-the offspring of prostitutes and addicts; the sons and daughters of abusers; and teenage parents who aren't equipped for parenthood. All this, in addition to raising her three biological sons and two adopted daughters. What would motivate someone to give herself over to constant, largely uncompensated chaos? For Harrison, the answer is easy.

Another Place at the Table is the story of life at our social services' front lines, centered on three children who, when they come together in Harrison's home, nearly destroy it. It is the frank first-person story of a woman whose compassionate best intentions for a child are sometimes all that stand between violence and redemption.

Customer Reviews:

If you want to know what it is like to be a foster parent or a foster parent that wants to know your not alone...read this book........2007-10-05

This book is about Kathy Harrison's real life as a foster mother and the story about a couple of the children that came into her home. She talks about her true emotions and feelings as she tries to hold these "shattered" children together with, as she puts it, just love and "band aids."

Augusten Burroughs (author of Running with Scissors) said about this book...."Shocking, brutal, heartbreaking and ultimately redemptive, This is the riveting and profoundly moving story of a hero, disguised as an ordinary woman. And like every hero, it's the children she is out to save."

Unlike Augusten I did not find the book "shocking" but honest and realistic to what every foster mom goes through. I could not believe how close our stories were as I read this book. You could have taken out the names of her children and drop in some of mine, tweak their story a little, and it wouldn't ring any truer then what we have seen and gone through.

I cried as she wrote about letting Lucy go to an adoptive home. She loved Lucy but not in the same way as the children she adopted. She wanted to keep her but also wanted Lucy to have that unconditional, total love she deserved. The pain of letting Lucy go tore open those feelings and what we went through with two little boys I had for three years.

She writes about her desire to reach ever child that walked into her home and the heartbreak when she realized love, food, clothes, a home, and safety wont/cant heal all their wounds.

She talks about the times caseworkers have such caviler attitudes to their lack of action that keeps a child in the system longer then need be, or keeps them off the adoption list longer. It reminded me of the unfelt and off the hand "sorry" and "oh, well" I have heard so often. But like her, I don't know how to change things, nor do I have the time to try because there is "another child coming through my front door that needs me."

I understood as she talked about the times she stood tall and strong when she felt the weakest, because it was best for the children. Telling the emotions every foster parent feels behind closed doors. The love she has for the strength and unbelievable timing her husband had at being there when she needed him. I understood the times she wanted to yell at a parent for smoking around the baby in her care but struggles with what is good for the baby and the need to keep the communication open between them. The honest hate she felt for some of the parents that have abused the children in her care but at the same time struggle as she realizes that most likely the bio-parents were children in the same situation when they were young and haven't learned anything different. The hope that what she was doing would change things in some way screamed what every foster parent prays is true. It made me think she had a hidden camera in my home that could read my thoughts and feelings I never let others see.

The hardest part of the book, for me, was the roller coaster of emotions they went on as they tried to adopt Karen. She is elegant in relating the fear of loosing a child that, in your heart, is already yours. A feeling that can't be explained or even come close to being logical. She maps out the joys of moving forward, the pains of more hold ups, the relief that the children are in your care, but the lingering dread that things could change in an instant. She revels how everything is devastatingly out of our control and we have to stay on till the ride is done.

She is most honest about not being a saint, or perfect, or even close to perfect. I laughed so hard when she wrote about the attachment case workers visit. She says she remembers her weakest moments (when she said something she shouldn't of or didn't handle a situation the right way) when people call her a saint; so do I. It only takes one or two human reactions to realize we are not saints or perfect; but she honors us with "a warrior" doing our best.

However, she also shows why we keep doing what we do for these children. The ability to see more in these children then others do and the wonderful feeling we get when the children reach not their potential (because it is rare we get to see this) but better then when they came to our door and father then others thought they could. This might be a simple smile, or a giggle, a sentence everyone understood, going a week with out an out burst, a day with out harming themselves, or the ability to care about something other then themselves for a second or two.

I could go on and on but if you want to see what it is like to be a foster parent....read this book! If you are a foster parent and want to know you are not alone....read this book!

AUTHOR RETURNABLE GIRL about teen in foster care.......2006-07-12

I loved this book. As a therapist who has just written a book about a teen girl in foster care I think it's important to focus on the incredible work that foster parents do. They are our unsung heroes! Thank you Kathy!!!!! For a fictional, uplifting account of the journey of a teen in foster care (inspired by the foster children I've worked with in the past) check out my soon-to-be released young adult novel, RETURNABLE GIRL. Maybe it will inspire you to bring a child home.

a reader.......2006-01-18

I could not put this book down!! I like to read about foster children because I am studdying that in college. Kathy Harrison
is a great author as well as a great foster mother as well. I hope she continues to put out more stories about foster mothering, she does so well at both!! She is very honest in her book, and states that she has a tough time with some, and an even tougher time with others. She is definitely a fighter, and it gives me more respect towards her as aperosn that she shares her tough times as well as some joyous situations while enduring the challenges as a foster mother. I also like the fact that her husband was backing her up 100%. If anyone else knows where I can read more books by her (or in relation to this same subject) email me at tbyrd6969@yahoo.com
Otherwise, happy reading!!!

Another Place at the Table.......2005-02-15

Being a foster parent myself for almost four years, I know how difficult it can sometimes be to explain to others what my world is like. Kathy Harrison was right on the mark with this book. It was consistent, educational and emotional. It brought so many of the "zany" parts of foster parenting together and made it real for others. Kudos Kathy, I hope this book encourages many others to join us on the zany ride!

The Family Table.......2004-06-18

This account of providing a home for children who were in dire need is heartwarming and encouraging. Many of the children who had a place at this table had parents who were in jail or were deemed legally unable to care for them. Each child came equipped with major emotional baggage.

The love and acceptance and diligent, dogged efforts on behalf of each child in this home have indeed raised the bar. Instead of being a stark and grim account akin to Dickens, this work instead is uplifting and hopeful. One can only feel that each child who found a place at this table was very fortunate indeed.

Book Description

In 1911, a thirteen-year-old Mabel Ernestine Lapointe ran from the heartache of her life in an Ottawa tenement house, and set off on a journey that took her to the giddy heights of New York City. Tragic circumstances forced her return to Canada, to a desolate farm in Renfrew County during the Depression years- a place from which she longed to escape. Another Place at the Table is Mabel's story and the story of the farmer who became her husband, offering the young widow and her two children the only sanctuary they could hope for.

This is CBC radio broadcaster, author and storyteller Mary Cook's tribute to the remarkable woman who was her mother.

Customer Reviews:

Super story of a Super Woman.......2001-04-10

A real story written in fictional form. Mary Cook's mother comes from New York City to marry a farmer west of Ottawa, Canada who she does not know.This whole story is beyond belief, but really took place. She arrives in Ottawa in the depression to raise a lively group of kids who she had not met and did not know! She stayed and became the mother of our own famous storyteller Mary Cook.A great book about depression years written by the storyteller of Eastern Ontario. Her best book to date.
