Book Review: Eat Cake. Be Brave. By Melissa Radke

Eat Cake. Be Brave. By Melissa Radke

Eat Cake. Be Brave. by Melissa Radke is totally hilarious. The author has a sense of humor that just won’t quit. She made me laugh, REALLY laugh.

It is also incredibly sad. I don’t mean just a little sad, but deep down in your soul sad. The kind that brings up tears that have been buried for so long you thought they’d gone. But, you know they haven’t because they are now soaking everything in sight.

I can relate to the life Melissa has lived in so many ways. Like, questioning Heavenly Father on why He’d give us a talent or desire, but put obstacles in our way that prevent us from fully realizing that talent or desire. Or, answering our prayers, and then taking our heart’s desire from us. I’ve been there, on both counts. It hurts.

People don’t make this life any easier, with their judgements of us. They judge us on something so shallow as our looks, not seeing that true beauty is what lies within us. They think we are unworthy to use our God-given talents because we aren’t one of the “beautiful people”.

Melissa is done playing that game. She tries to instill in us that it doesn’t matter what people say about us or how they judge us. Their thoughts about us don’t matter. What matters is what Heavenly Father thinks. He made us in His image and loves us, regardless of our physical attributes or lack thereof.

In the midst of all the laughter and the tears, Melissa’s message is clear: He doesn’t make junk. Don’t let other people control how you feel about yourself. He can use you in His kingdom. Live the life He gave you to live loud and proud, giving glory to Him.

And, most definitely, eat the cake! Don’t be afraid to be YOU!

Book Review: Beauty Redefined: How to Feel Authentically Beautiful in Today’s World by Seline Shenoy

Beauty Redefined: How to Feel Authentically Beautiful in Today’s World by Seline Shenoy


Beauty Redefined: How to Feel Authentically Beautiful in Today’s World by Seline Shenoy is a fairly short book at only 144 pages. At first, I wasn’t so sure that I was going to be able to give it a good review. Ms. Shenoy seemed to be putting a woman’s view of herself fully in her lap and not making those feeding her insecurities responsible for their actions.

As I read further, my thoughts changed. I understood that she was looking to help society overall, not just the women themselves, change its view and how a woman’s beauty is defined.

We are brought up being told that it is what is on the inside that matters. However, what is drilled into us out in the “real” world is completely the opposite. The world tells us we can’t be both old AND beautiful. We have to be young, skinny, and perky to be worth love and admiration.

Ms. Shenoy seeks to help women find that inner beauty that we were raised hearing about. This book includes an Assessment for Negative Self-Image, as well as a quiz titled “Define Your Beauty Archetype Quiz”. There are explanations of each archetype after the quiz.

There is also an awesome section called “The 10 Characteristics That Define a True Beauty”. I printed out the ten characteristics and taped them above my computer as a daily reminder that beauty isn’t about looks; it's not that shallow. True beauty is really about what is on the inside. Even if this book were no good otherwise, it would earn the five stars based on this section alone.

I think it is a book that every woman needs to read and take to heart.

Book Review: It’s OK That You’re Not OK: Meeting Grief and Loss in a Culture That Doesn’t Understand by Megan Devine

It’s OK That You’re Not OK: Meeting Grief and Loss in a Culture That Doesn’t Understand by Megan Devine

Wow! It’s OK That You’re Not OK: Meeting Grief and Loss in a Culture That Doesn’t Understand by Megan Devine is an amazing book! It is one of the best books that I (Suzanne) have read on the topic of grief. It deals primarily with sudden, unexpected loss, but I believe it applies across the board. Losing a loved one is heart-wrenching, whether you know it is coming or not. But, when it happens unexpectedly, it puts it right in your face just how little control we have and how unpredictable life can be.

Reading this book was like meeting a new friend, one who understands how you feel because she has been there. She hasn’t been exactly where I’ve been, but she has had the rug pulled out from under her, too, and knows there’s no putting things back as they had been before.

Ms. Devine has helped me to not feel so alone in my unresolved grief. She knows it takes more than two weeks to grieve the loss of a loved one. Two weeks, two years, a lifetime, we don’t ever get over it. The loss becomes a part of who we are.

She has also taught me that how I have handled the grief of others, though my intentions were to try to comfort, did nothing but potentially cause more pain to the one suffering. I had no idea that when I shared my sorrow, in an effort to say “I understand,” it set up a grief competition of sorts and feelings of “This is about ME, not you. Why isn’t my grief important?”, and many other hurt feelings in the grieving person. I am working on changing the way that I deal with the grief of friends and acquaintances, in an effort to not cause further pain. I didn’t realize the effect my words were potentially having because I never took it as belittling my grief when others shared theirs.

This book is emotional, well-written, and the education in grief that we all need, most especially those in the mental health field.

If you have lost someone, if you have been expected to process it on their timeline instead of your own, you need this book, if for no other reason than to find someone else who truly understands your pain.

We give It’s OK That You’re Not OK five stars and then some. It is a great book and I am thankful to have had the opportunity to read it!

Book Review: Journey into Health: Heal Yourself with Meditation and the Aid of Your Spirit Guides by Katrina Blecher

Journey into Health: Heal Yourself with Meditation and the Aid of Your Spirit Guides by Katrina Blecher

Whenever we are asked to review a book, we try to read it with an open mind. Some books are just a little out of our area.

We don’t normally deal with spirit guides or similar. Journey into Health: Heal Yourself with Meditation and the Aid of Your Spirit Guides by Katrina Blecher does speak of the author consulting her spirit guides to learn more about her.

That being said, we read this book based on what it is meant to be and where it is coming from. This is what we did, or at least attempted to do.

Blecher spent much of her time telling her readers what she learned from her spirit guides and a little about them. This was good and kind of interesting. What she did not do was really tell her readers how they could find theirs, although she did touch on this a little.

If this book is meant as a how-to guide, we really missed finding the how-to part. There were some interesting tales regarding what the author did and what she found out by doing it.

Overall, we give Journey into Health three stars. It is entertaining and might be helpful for some. We just couldn’t see how we could make it apply very well in our lives.

Book Review: Perseverance: The Seven Skills You Need to Survive, Thrive, and Accomplish More Than You Ever Imagined by Tim Hague

Perseverance: The Seven Skills You Need to Survive, Thrive, and Accomplish More Than You Ever Imagined by Tim Hague

We are sent scores of books to review each month. It seems that the subject of Parkinson’s Disease is coming up more and more. Not to long before reading Perseverance: The Seven Skills You Need to Survive, Thrive, and Accomplish More Than You Ever Imagined by Tim Hague, we completed Fighting Parkinson's...and Winning: A memoir of my recovery from Parkinson's Disease by Howard Shifke.

The two books really work well together. With this book, Perseverance, we learn about the many challenges of living with Parkinson’s Disease, an incurable disease that is caused by lack of dopamine in the body. Tim Hauge decided he wasn’t going to let Parkinson’s Disease slow him down. He was going to live life to the fullest.

Fighting Parkinson's...and Winning is the story of the author who, like Tim Hague, learned he had Parkinson’s Disease. He also decided he was going to live life to the fullest. However, in this book the author decided that just because Western medicine says there is no cure for Parkinson’s that does not mean it is so.

The first part of Perseverance gives us the story of a mixed race child born in rural Texas and raised by a loving adopted family.

We follow the author through disappointment after disappointment. We see how he did not really fit in with any race. He was always too black, too white, or otherwise just not acceptable.

Perseverance will make you laugh, will make you cry, it will make you mad. AND, it will have you on the edge of your seat.

In Perseverance, we read the fascinating and exciting story of the author and his son competing in The Amazing Race Canada.

We see how Tim and his son Tim, Jr. worked to face all the obstacles head on. Even though we learn the outcome of the race early in the book, the excitement is still there. We still hang on every word.

We give Perseverance all five stars. It is very well-written and downright hard to put down. We think it makes an excellent tool to help others living with Parkinson’s Disease.

If, however, you or someone you love has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease and you want to find a different tool box, one that offers a cure, then you will want to read Fighting Parkinson's...and Winning.

Interestingly enough, both books have a similar mindset. However, Shifke learns that Parkinson’s Disease is not caused by lack of Dopamine. He found it is that the body does not use what it produces properly and how to retrain the body to use it.

You will want to buy both books.

Book Review: Naked Sales: How Design Thinking Reveals Customer Motives and Drives Revenue By Ashley Welch and Justin Jones

Naked Sales: How Design Thinking Reveals Customer Motives and Drives Revenue

By Ashley Welch and Justin Jones

Normally, we like books on how to sell more stuff.  Having studied at the feet of three top salesmen, we have observed what it takes.

Naked Sales works hard to teach readers what it takes to excel in sales.  However, it is a lot like playing skeeball.  Naked Sales by Ashley Welch and Justin Jones hits the 40 point skeeball hole but never makes it to the 50 hole.

What we mean is that they really come close to teaching what it takes to make great sales, but then they undo it.

Why do we say this?  If you are in sales, no one is going to say, “I would buy from that person if only they would use a little more street language in their conversation.”

We aren’t saying that the book contains vulgar language.  What we are saying is that one must avoid using words that one would expect from an uneducated person.

Also, in one graphic, the caption says “Client Could Care Less”. Probably what they meant to say is “Client Couldn’t Care Less.”  Are we nitpicking? Maybe.  But, if one is trying to improve his sales, he must put his best foot forward.

If you are trying to convince someone that you know your product will fill their need, you diminish your credibility when you don’t speak professionally.

Naked Sales is a good book and is deserving of three out of five stars. If one is looking to improve his sales, he will want to fill in the gaps that Naked Sales leaves by reading Dale Carnegie’s How to Win Friends and Influence People. He may also wish to pick up a copy of All In by Bill Green. Polish this up with How I Raised Myself From Failure to Success In Selling by Frank Bettger.

These four books together will give the prospective salesperson everything needed to be a super success in selling.  

We were sent a complimentary copy of this book.  We are under no obligation to write any review, positive or negative.

We are disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255.

Book Review: Who Will Care For You: Formulating A Smart Family Plan to Age In Place by John Hemphill

Who Will Care For You: Formulating A Smart Family Plan to Age In Place

by John Hemphill

 

Sooner or later all families come face to face with a situation where a family member may need long term care. Who Will Care For You: Formulating A Smart Family Plan to Age In Place by John Hemphill is about how to prepare for such an event in the event it happens.

This book is chock full of advice and suggestions about things like talking with an elder care attorney and making house modifications before they are needed.

Hemphill, a former CDC employee, has seen a lot of cases, including that involving his parents and his in-laws. He was able to plan ahead, but possibly not as much as he would have liked to.  He and his wife learned from their experiences, and those of others, and seek to impart that wisdom to his readers.

This book is well-researched.  It is well-written with minor editing flaws.  It is very readable and informative. We give Who Will Care For You all five stars.

There are a lot of things we wish we did not have to think about. Who will take care of us in the future is one of those things.  However, it is important to face some of these thoughts head on so that we don’t have to worry about them in the future.  Everyone should read this book, along with Master Your Cash Flow by Al Zdenek, in order to be prepared for our twilight years.  You will be glad you did.

Book Review: Money Won’t Buy Happiness-But Time to Find It By Chris Heerlein

Money Won’t Buy Happiness-But Time to Find It

By Chris Heerlein

By now we have read hundreds of books on financial planning and retirement goals. We would have to say, without any exaggeration, that Money Won’t Buy Happiness-But Time to Find It by Chris Heerlein is probably the best all around book on financial planning covering a multitude of income levels.

Don’t get us wrong, we have read some truly great books on personal finance and there are a select few of them that are wonderful in their niche.

Hard Core Poor is great for those of us in the beans and rice level of finance.  Master Your Cash Flow by Al Zdenek is probably the best financial book targeted towards the super wealthy.

However, Money Won’t Buy Happiness is a great general book on finance that will be helpful for anyone at any level.  

We give Money Won’t Buy Happiness all five stars on our scale of zero to five stars.  It is well-written, well-researched, and very readable.  The reader is not presented with complicated formulas or detailed explanations that cause them to zone out.  

We will be adding Money Won’t Buy Happiness to our list of recommended reading on our How to Manage Your Monkey Blog.

We were sent a complimentary copy of this book.  We are under no obligation to write any review, positive or negative.

We are disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255.

Book Review: The Genetics of Health: Understand Your Genes for Better Health By Sharad P. Paul, MD

The Genetics of Health: Understand Your Genes for Better Health

By Sharad P. Paul, MD

When we read the title of a book like The Genetics of Health: Understand Your Genes for Better Health by Sharad P. Paul, MD, many of us would say, “I think I’ll lie down and let the feeling pass.”  If you do, you will miss a great deal.

Normally, this is not the type of book we would read. But, we really would have missed a very wonderful book. This book is chock full of information.

This book is also extremely entertaining and engaging. Dr. Paul makes the book come alive for us by sharing some anecdotes of interactions with patients.  Some of these are sad.  

We think that The Genetics of Health deserves all five stars.  It is well-written, entertaining and enjoyable. It looks like it would be a thick, dry tome.  It is thick, but it is anything but dry.

Dr. Paul introduces us to some very complicated terms, but he explains those terms in simple, easy-to-understand English.  

Most of our readers will probably look at this title and think that they would not enjoy such a book.  Please don’t judge this book by what you think it is.

Readers will come away from The Genetics of Health with a better understanding of diet, exercise, sun exposure, heredity, and so much more.  Did you know that coffee can be good for you?

We think that most readers would love to find The Genetics of Health in their stockings this year.  You will be pleasantly surprised.

We were sent a complimentary copy of this book.  We are under no obligation to write any review, positive or negative.

We are disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255.

Book Review: Close Deals Faster By John Asher

Close Deals Faster

By John Asher

Many people are not aware of it, but everyone is in sales. That’s right. We all sell.  We might not have a product that we sell to earn money, per se, but we all sell something.  We may sell our ideas about a project to higher ups.  We may sell our thought about where to eat dinner.  A kid holding out for a later bedtime is selling.

That being said, we think that Close Deals Faster would be helpful for most, if not all, people but especially for those who are in Business-to-Business (B2B) sales.

Close Deals Faster by John Asher is very well-written.  It has been researched by Mr. Asher and his team over many years of actual belly-to-belly sales.

We won’t tell you what it is in this review, but we will tell you that Close Deals Faster actually has the secret sauce to making sales.  Having this secret sauce won’t guarantee a sale, but not having it almost definitely insures no sale will be made.

We learned this secret sauce studying at the feet of one of National Cash Register’s top salesmen years ago.  It was only after much failure that we learned this one all-important ingredient has to be in the mix to make the sale.  Close Deals Faster tells the reader that without having to spend years to learn it.

Asher writes in a very entertaining way.  He manages to teach readers the all-important lessons without coming across as one of those boring textbook writers.  He provides some real world examples to back him up.

We give Close Deals Faster by John Asher all five stars. We think it is concise, entertaining, and valuable.  If you are in sales for a living, you simply must read Close Deals Faster.  However, you should also read How I Raised Myself From Failure to Success in Selling by Frank Bettger.  The two books together will give you almost everything you need to know about sales.

Of course, everything else you need to know can be learned by listening to recordings of Zig Ziglar.  This will make an award-winning combination.  What you do with it is up to you.   

We were sent a complimentary advanced reading copy of this book.  We are under no obligation to write any review, positive or negative.

We are disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255.

Book Review: The Ripple Effect By Greg Wells, PhD

The Ripple Effect

By Greg Wells, PhD

 

If you are looking for a good all around way to improve your life, The Ripple Effect by Greg Wells, PhD., is one way to do it.

This book takes the idea that we can make significant improvements in our lives by getting the proper things in our lives working together.  

The Ripple Effect tells us how to get our lives working better by making small improvements (1%). We are told how proper diet, exercise, breathing, and thought patterns all work together to improve our lives.  

This book works very well as a companion to Eat Wheat. Many of the foods suggested in The Ripple Effect are suggested in Eat Wheat.  The two books work very well together.

We give The Ripple Effect all five stars.  It is entertaining, informative, educational, and eye-opening.

If you are looking to improve your health (physical, mental, or both), The Ripple Effect can help you with that.

We were sent a complimentary copy of this book.  We are under no obligation to write any review, positive or negative.

Book Review: Work It: Get In, Get Noticed, Get Promoted By Denise M. Dudley, PhD

Work It: Get In, Get Noticed, Get Promoted

By Denise M. Dudley, PhD

Have you ever wished you knew exactly what to do to get the job you wanted and then to succeed from the moment you started your new job?  Work It: Get In, Get Noticed, Get Promoted by Denise M. Dudley PhD may very well help you to do that.

This book is well-written and well-designed.  Dudley tells her readers not only what to do, but the whys behind the whats.

In Work It, readers will learn the behind the scenes ways to put their best foot forward in writing resumes, interviewing, and following up.

Work It even covers what to do in the unlikely event that you get fired or if you decide it is time to move on to a new job or even new career.

This isn’t one of those books where you are asked a series of psychological mumbo-jumbo kind of questions to determine what type of job you would do best in. Dudley assumes you already know that.

We think you will get a lot out of Work It.  We give it all five stars and think you will, too.

If you or someone you know are contemplating a change in jobs or even careers or if you are seeking a promotion in your present situation, Work It will be one of your best investments.

We were sent a complimentary copy of this book.  We are under no obligation to write any review, positive or negative.
