Breakthrough: Eight Steps to Wellness
$15.00
I thought Suzanne Somers to be slightly ditzy until I read this. She and I are the same age and both had breast cancer at the same time in our lives. I had chemo, she passed on it. She said that if she knew then what she knows now, she never would have gotten breast cancer. After reading her book, I agree with that statement. Every 30-something woman should read this and take control of their hormone levels because they start getting get out of wack in your mid-30s. I'm going to a wellness/anti-aging doctor who is an MD now. I haven't started bio-identical hormones yet, we're still doing testing, but my daughter-in-law has and she's seeing many benefits already. She has many food and odor sensitivities and has a horrible time losing weight. She lost 15 lbs. after starting the hormones--not immediately but almost--and saw many other positives. You'll have to find a wellness/anti-aging doctor to help you. Suzanne lists many, state-by-state, in the back of her book. I bought three paper back editions for my daughters and daughter-in-law.

Breakthrough Rapid Reading
$16.95
I gave up half way through this book. I was completing the objectives for the drills and doing 3-4 drills every day afterwards, plus I read a lot.


I've always been a slow reader and thought this book would help me, but I'm interested in reading fiction and the reading style this book teaches is "speed reading". I simply get less out of the books I read at my leisure using this method and I don't read any faster.

Once I got to the chapter on "dusting" I had had enough.

This book was a terrible waste of time for me.

The Motivation Breakthrough: 6 Secrets to Turning On the Tuned-Out Child
$16.00
This book is a fairly quick read/reference book that gives it to you straight and to the point. It also contains some analogies and illustrations that help drive the information home. Not only does it talk about motivating others, it also is quite motivating to the reader as well. I don't think anyone working with students, especially middle schoolers, will be disappointed with this purchase. I am excited about putting what I have learned into practice with my students, and have encouraged fellow teachers to pick up a copy. This is a "must read" for anyone working in education. The book is well worth the investment of time and money.
