This is my opinion about self development books . Do you agree with me ?

Yes and no.  It's a huge genre.  Some of it is a bit of light philosophy and some of it is pure crap. Some of it has theology in it and makes that more palatable to the masses.  \n\nI think you can buy "Why bad things happen to good people," in this section.  That book has some helpful things to say.  \n\nI think you need to be a critical thinker when you read--and unfortunately if you are needing help you can't always be that.  You make good points but lets not ban any books.  Just proceed with caution.

I haven't read the whole book...just excerpts.  But I did hear him come to campus and speak on the topics in the book.\n\nI'd say he's created some good discussion.  In the final analysis, books like this are never the policy programs that are put into place, but they start us thinking in the right direction.\n\nI think Vedder has outlined some interesting issues about how the education system is structured, and hopefully we'll have an open discussion of the suggestions he's made and implement SOME of them.

I definately agree with Marc c.   A student that looks interested, is on task, is prepared with materials, attempts homework, asks serious questions, may be leaning forward, catches me in mistakes (perfection does not exist on this earth.) etc.  I am not impressed by neat handwriting, flashy posters, fashionable clothes etc. I am impressed when a student phones or e-mails me with a problem.  I am impressed with a self-starter. I am impressed when a student removes himself from a problem in order to be part of the solution.\n(middle school for 30 years and lovin' it for 25!)

That'a poor, read the book it has so much more benefit then cliff notes, that's the point of books they are meant to be read and enjoyed, you are meant to feel what the character does, really get into it and have fun with it, Use your brain, don't take the lazy way out, you will learn more and experience more if you engage in the text yourself. A book has so much more value when you can read it and become passionately involved. Cliff notes don't help you do that, plus cliff notes are all pretty dodge and only give you a very, very shallow insight into the book. Seriously read it yourself, it's so much better.

It's more of a inspirational book and the goal is to change your attitude.  I found all of the advice in there to be very basic for anyone who has a basic knowledge of real estate.  He doesn't get into any specifics either, so you're on your own if you want to do any real deals.  It's definitely not as easy as he makes it sounds.  But the point is that these books are one of his businesses and he is in the business of selling books that you want to buy.  Keep that in mind.\n\nHe does present some of the basic concepts fairly well, such as don't buy the huge things that drain your cash and give no return.  I read a couple of the books.  They got a bit repetitive because he was saying the same thing over and over, but it's not bad overall.

I personally believe one should experience the lesson his/herself.  It's the best way to learn, and the only way to really know what you're suppose to gain.

No I haven't. Sorry. Is it a good book?

Offer it a "self-help" book.  Maybe "The Purpose Driven Life" or something similar.

I pray to the book gods everyday that they make a come back. I love my books. I could not live with out them. There is nothing quite like the feel of a honest to goodness book in your hands. I love books. Can you tell? LOL

You know.....\n\nWe exist in life with all of these people around us. We see how they interact with the world. But do we always know how they see themselves within this society? I would love to read a book of memoirs by someone I know. To see how they view their contributions. To see how experiences we had together might have affected the outcome of their life. I might not want to see all that I'm reading, but I also think it would be a good lesson learned if I did. Yeah....definitely want to read the memoirs of someone I know. \n\nNow....do I need to pick this person? I guess I wish my best friend, Jane had written her memoirs before she died. We were best friends from age 12 to 38. That was a lot of life to live together. I only pray she enjoyed it as much as I did!! Man, I so love you, Jane. I hope you're reading this!!!! How about you reading my memoirs since I can't read yours. lol Knowing you....you'd edit all of my spelling and typos. You goob! Man I miss you!

Sounds to me like you're trying to get someone to write a book report for you!  I've read the book and Sandel makes a lot of good points.  Do yourself a favor and read it for yourself.

I read that book, it is childish and nonsensical.\nWhat makes you think that you are not benefitted immensely by the people that you live with?\nI suggest you try and live in the wilderness for about a month.\nThen maybe you can appreciate the luxuries of other people.\nOh, and also do not take anything with you that you did not both make and invent.

Speaking from my opinion only, I am kinda anti-Rick Warren.  I do have "The Purpose Driven Life," because I was genuinely interested in reading it.  However, after the success of the book it seems that everything went purpose driven.  There are purpose driven ties, coffee mugs, and I bet I could find a purpose driven pet carrier if I looked hard enough.  I'm not sure if Mr. Warren is the one behind all the merchandising, but it really got to me.

NEVER! This year alone I've bought 8 or 9 books, can't recall. I'm currently reading 1 biography, 1 psychology, 1 marketing, and am always reading management books. I like many others enjoy the sanctity of a good read. Staying focused is so much easier with books - no message alerts, and you can turn the phone off. The Internet is a useful tool, but ultimately, books are a 'reality', something you can hold, see, and feel. You can also give them as gifts - the Internet, not quite, not yet anyway. Plus there'll be a load of librarians out of work without books. lol. One last thing, what happens when the power goes out? Technology stops, the sun comes up and there is light - the simple things are often the best. Cheers. L
