Readers won't wait 52 weeks to finish this book!.......2002-09-25
Ms. Sharbuno writes with exceptional clarity, wit, organization, and insight into everyday concerns and challenges. Additionally, she has pulled together fifty-two marvelous quotations to segue into each short essay.
She explains her term "success from the inside out." To attain success, she advises, we cannot rely on outer circumstances. Instead, success depends more upon how we use our inner resources, often in the face of a threatening environment.
The book is highly contemporary, in matters such as providing guidance for launching a new career after a job loss. Readers will listen to her because she experienced that adversity herself, and transitioned happily into a new arena.
Likewise, when she talks about making your dreams come true, she explains how she achieved her fantasy of becoming a published writer.
Ms. Sharbuno counsels us on other important topics. Examples: overcoming procrastination, the value of our "body wisdom" (which others might call "gut feelings"), dividing huge tasks into manageable pieces, adopting an attitude of abundance, and reshaping our attitudes.
52 Ways will make you think, laugh, and reassess yourself, and will prompt you to alter your personal and professional relationships. I consider this book both practical and inspirational. I'm sure you will, too.
Kudos to Ms. Sharbuno!.......2002-07-15
Very Useful.......2002-07-15
Try it on the Golf Course!.......2002-07-13
I have incorporated Jeanne's "Be-Do-Have" formula for living success...from the inside out into my own daily affirmations and have talked about this concept in my workshops (with a nod to Jeanne, of course!). Perhaps the most noticeable, not to mention fun, innovation of "Be-Do-Have" for me, has been on the golf course! I find repeating this mantra as I address the ball, calms me down, smooths out my tempo and improves the results. Well, most of the time!
Buy this book. Read the words. Adopt the wisdom----you'll find yourself smiling, "From the Inside Out!"
Great book!.......2002-07-12

Music to Move the Stars: A Life with Stephen Hawking
Jane Hawking Manufacturer: Trans-Atlantic Publications ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0333746864 |
Customer Reviews:
Interesting Look into the Hawkings' Family Life.......2003-01-15
Jane Hawking married Stephen Hawking, believing that his life would be a short one. They hoped to jam as much love and fulfillment into what they thought would be short years together. They married fairly young, had children right away and set to keeping house. (Boy, wasn't everyone surprised at his staying power!)
Jane (May I call her Jane?) describes the domestic details of a young family as well as the intrigues of her tweedy academic society at the University. Its a delightful look into how academes live, describing the politics, the society and the passion for learning. At various points, they travel to the States and other places in Europe and she enlightens us on the life of the learned in those places, as well. If you contemplate a career in academia, this book can be enlightening.
She, for many years, was an astounding caregiver, dealing with Stephen's (May I call him Stephen?) progressive physical decline and heavier demands. She managed to run the household, raise the kids, and literally haul him around for years before a serious respiratory incident forced her to bring professional nurses in full-time. She recounts battles with the British health care system, battles for access with the University, and the domestic friction that one would expect when one member of the family is so handicapped.
Jane got a PhD in her own right (you GO, girl!) in Spanish poetry and here is where the book loses a star. The book's a bit more wordy than it needs to be, on a number of fronts. My PhD buddies tend to write non-thesis material like that. I recognize the style. A bit of editing may have been nice.
Still, a worthy read for moms, academes, caregivers, stargazers, Spanish poets, Baroque musicians...
Real people, roller coaster experiences.......2001-09-06
The interplay of love given and received from unexpected sources is a major theme of this book. Kind words from colleagues were remembered as she struggled to bring up 3 children and help make a sick husband strong.
Insights on living with the disabled from a family perspective abound. The energy needed to run concerts, dinner parties, childrens' parties, trips and more comes through in the book, as well as profound emotions.
This book inspires one to make the most out of life. Stephen's pioneering research is clearly explained in simple terms for those who do not have a PhD in the mathematical physics of black holes. If a little lengthy, it reveals vignettes of an academic life that roams from Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge across the Atlantic to dreary Seattle and sunny Pasadena.
With candid insights into her private spiritual experiences the author draws her own conclusions regarding the role of God in the universe.

Internet Services: The Economics of Quality of Service for Networks, Grids, and Markets
Manufacturer: The MIT Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0262134489 |
Book Description
The complex interplay of technical, economic, and user factors in the development of Internet services will shape the delivery of those services in the future. Designers of Internet services must take into account demand as they create the supply; people will not use Internet services that do not consider user needs and economic and regulatory constraints, no matter how advanced the technological design. In Internet Services, leading academic and industry researchers examine, from a variety of perspectives, the multiplicity of factors that affect the quality of services delivered across a "network of networks" that is outside the control of any one entity. Their analyses fill a gap in the existing literature; most technical books on the subject ignore economic issues and most economics books neglect technical factors.

One American Boy: The Dolph Crawford Story
Dolph Crawford , and Rusty Fischer Manufacturer: iUniverse, Inc. ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0595320791 |
Book Description
"When I was born on May 26, 1963, I had already broken a law: homosexuality was illegal in Texas..."Dolph Crawford used his pretty-boy looks to wrangle his way to fortune and fame. But along the way, his life was filled with the inevitable ups and downs of a young gay boy growing up in mostly heterosexual Texas.
Alienation, shame, and self-hatred were the substance of his youth, and when he left home in his teens he didn't fare much better.
Fueled by confusion and pain, he entered the alluring but toxic world of male hustling, dancing, and eventually signed with Vivid Entertainment to act in, produce, and direct some of the company's most popular gay porn videos.
Now Dolph bares all in a revealing memoir that rips the glamour off the video industry as effectively as it unearths the enduring pain of growing up gay in America.

Silence and Noise: Growing Up Zen in America
Ivan Richmond Manufacturer: Atria ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items: ASIN: 0743417550 |
Book Description
A fresh new voice in American Buddhism -- a twenty-nine-year-old raised among Buddhists in California -- offers wisdom for both longtime practitioners and a new generation of students in this fascinating memoir of his Zen upbringing.Over half a century ago, when the first Zen Masters came to America, eager young students in search of enlightenment flocked to hear their teachings. Many, like Ivan Richmond's parents, became Buddhist teachers themselves while raising their children at monasteries and retreat centers. Growing up in the seventies in the deliberate silence of a Buddhist community, young Ivan knew only the hippies and redwoods of Northern California. When his family left in 1983, he became an immigrant in his own country, suddenly entering a mainstream society that was full of paradox and pop culture, uncertainty and noise. This is the story of his struggle to find peace amidst the chaos.
Whether dispensing kernels of Buddhist insight taught to him as a child or reflecting on the merits of rock concerts, Richmond narrates his emergence from seclusion with a sensitivity that is often touching, frequently funny, and always honest. The story of the powerfully resonant journey of this foot soldier in the front lines of American Buddhism is an essential read for anyone interested in the current state of Zen in America.

Finding His Bearings via the Middle Way.......2006-04-19
No stone unturned.......2003-10-12
I felt the author was too hard on himself. I hope he's reading
this. He's is ok. But I get the impression he thinks there
is something wrong with being different. I think many enlightened people feel this way because those seeking "enlightenment" generally aren't showy people; so
you don't often meet them.
Ivan you are not alone. I understand your message. And I'm
closer than you think. Just stay on the path. The truth will
set you free.
Lovely book and looking forward to many more to come
