not for single women !
This book is basically about increasing intimacy, through sex, in a relationship. as a how to guide, it sucks. there are no actual usable pysical tips or guidelines. however if you are looking to spice up a longstanding relationship, this would suit you down to the ground.

203 ways to drive a man wild in bed
After reading the reviews I was execpting a book that was helpful and informative here and there. I've learned lots from this book. It decusses things that I wanted to know but, would talk to anyone about in million years. It's written in a sudective yet tasteful manner. No cut and dried steps, diagrams, or pictures with arrows to guide you along. Too bad! he he he
Every Man Wants Every Woman to Read this Book
After reading several of another reviewer's reviews of this kind of book, my interest was piqued, so while wandering around in my local bookstore I decided to pick one up and see just what some of the girls were reading. I glanced through this very short book (only 129 pages) and all of a sudden I was embarrassed. I looked around, wondering if anybody else had seen what I'd had in hand and instantly locked onto Mrs. Doubtfire's disapproving glare. "Heh, heh," I laughed. She didn't laugh back.

Very Useful!
This book, which wisely includes a C.D. is great because you can give your client a piece of paper they can really use concerning the chosen treatment and hopeful outcome that was just covered in the session. It is concise and very well written.

ONE OF THE MOST USEFUL AND USED BOOKS FOR CLIENT EDUCATION
In 30 years of psychotherapy practice,I have used handouts from this book more than any other source. Many clients likethese handouts because they are short and give an overview of the topic.They are not in depth guides,however.This is one of the few books worth several times its cost.

Not Helpful to My Clients
Cohen-Posey has packed this book and disc with a great deal of useful information which, although very helpful to a professional, is not at all helpful to my clients. I deal with college students who are reluctant to do yet more "homework". The handouts presented here are so full of information that one senses they might need a several hours just to comprehend the directions for the assignment. Additionally, the layout of the exercises is awful -- not enough white space and attractive lettering to invite someone to dig into the assignment. Sounds very shallow, yet layout design is very important to consider. All in all a good book for very motivated private practice clients ( a rarity!); not practical or useful for traditional-age college students. ... Read more

Add specifity to any running program
This book complete's any running book collection.It goes in depth into the biomechanics of running, specific weight training exersizes for breakthrough running, and specific stretching for runners.This book covers the information that most other books only breifly skim over.The knowledge that Michael Yessis shares in this book could be eaisily added to any running program, to make you a faster, and more efficient runner.I would reccommend this book to anyone who is serious about running and looking to add more specifity to their running program.If you want to run faster, and farther without getting injured this is a book for you.

How serious do you want to get about your running?
This book would be great for anyone who is serious about running and desires to find ways to increase performance.The sections that break down the actual mechanics of running are complicated, but I found them to be interesting.The sections on stretching and weightlifting exercises specifically for running are outstanding.The chapter on the effects shoes have on feet and the case for spending more time barefoot is also a highlight. Awesome!
This book is everything the title says it is . . .explosive. I noticed benefits in terms of my speed and endurance from the start of training.I was also gratified to read the authors endorsement of barefoot running!If you are a serious runner seeking to improve your speed, endurance and running economy. This is the book for you.Read more

Good read
A good book, but BodyOpus is really only a small section in the back.The sections on drugs and diuretics seem more like a bonus than essential, although I'm not a pro body builder.Lots of detail on biochemistry, written in a bit of an arrogant tone geared towards the alpha male for sure.

The next level.
I love this book! It was like, the curtain to all the secrets was lifted, and now I know too. I was very familiar with ketogenic diets before reading this and I'm not interested in using steriods, although I appreciated the education. Plus I picked up a whole swag of new tools to go from "normal to extraordinary". This is compulsory reading for anyone serious about bodybuilding, fitness and achieving an amazing body. Period.

Duchaine: Play time is over!
This guy knows of what he speaks. He used to work with Bill Phillips and Muscle Media 2000 back when it was cutting-edge publication, and this is even more hard-core info if you remember those days. This is the 2nd copy I have bought as my 1st one "disappeared". I was even a subscriber to D'Duchaine's newsletter. This is for those people tired of stop-gaps and half-measures. Simply put, Dan knows what he knows and this diet works. Good luck - and stay HARD! ... Read more

Highly Recommend
Along with affirming the other reviews on this book, I would like to add that I have recently begun teaching yoga and have found this book to be an excellent tool for developing my class formats and information sharing.There is a wealth of information, presented in clearly stated, understandable and comprehensive text, that I can quickly commit to memory to share with my students, or jot down in an outline to reference during class instruction.Having purchased and read volumes of books on yoga, this is the first I have come across that has been helpful in that regard.Kripalu is a beautiful form of yoga that brings the true essence of the practice to life.

outstanding

Very thorough book.
This book offers good instruction for beginning yoga practicers such as myself as well as more advanced poses.It includes complete steps to correctly acheiving poses while taking care to help the user protect his or her body in the process.There are also modifications for some poses.The benefits to particular areas of the body are included.I enjoyed the testimonials and found some helpful to me.The book also includes the spiritual/body connection aspect of yoga.I found this book to be very helpful and interesting. ...

Feeling overwhelmed on a daily basis is no fun for anyone, but changing your mindset requires time that just doesn't exist. Or does it? Read more

Great Way to Start the Day - Or Any Other Moment
The power in this book isn't necessarily in the DOING of the exercises but the contemplation of these little activities. I find that picking the book up when I've got a moment and reading one or two of the exercises gives me ample pause and brings on the results at which the suggested activity aims. I can say that DOING the exercise does make the result more intense or satisfying but benefits can be had by simply taking a moment to think about the suggestion at hand. In any case, I recommend this easy to follow and effective manual to living a more peaceful and peaceable life. I suppose any book which has at its' heart such worthy objectives as living more peacefully can't be bad! It certainly worked for The Bible.

Five Great Minutes
Five Good Minutes is a brilliant little book.It's compact so I can take it everywhere, and the meditations are very useful for daily life.Depending on my need/mood, I flip through to find a helpful meditation and then do it.I have had night anxiety for years.The relaxation meditation has helped me calm down before bed each night, alleviating stress and worry in order to fall asleep.I am grateful to have found this great little book!

A Wonderful Book!
This is a fabulous book.It helps make it easier to take the time for setting intentions, breathing, meditating, etc.

One of the best yoga books out there...
I had the pleasure of doing a weekend workshop with Ms. Kozak a few years ago after reading this book.I find myself constantly referring to it when I have questions about the doshas or the poses in general.You will not be disappointed in this book.

Best Yoga Information Around
Yoga For Your Type is a great book on Yoga.It teaches about Ayurveda and how we can know ourselves better and how we can then use our postures to help us manage our energy, feelings, and lives.It is also a really good book about yoga.The descriptions of the poses are thorough and understandable and as good as you can find anywhere.I use this
Comprehensive and Outstanding
This book provides easy to understand basics of yoga and ayurveda (traditional East Indian preventiative medicine). Gives the reader a way to discover their own ayurvedic type and how the yoga poses affect their type, so they can adjust their yoga practice for better balance, health and clarity.I found this book very easy to understand and follow with comprehensive photos and detailed instructions for each posture.It is a practical guide to developing a more effective yoga practice.It has changed the way I understand and practice yoga in my life. ...

Highly recommended as an NSCA-PT study guide, or referencebook.
This is pretty much the only book I've been reading for the past couple of months as I prepared for the NSCA's personal trainer exam.I am fairly sure I passed the exam, and I doubt I could have passed without the help of this book and NSCA's exercise techniques DVD which is sold separately.[Update - I DID pass the exam!:-) ]This 674 text is packed full of information and can not be breezed through Harriet Klausner style.
Great book
My personal trainer in NYC Joe DiAngelo http://www.musclebomb.com introduced me to this book. I loved it.

This book should be read by everyone!
Fantastic book! If you are at all interested in optimum health and well being or know someone suffering healthwise, this is a must read. It will change your life and the way you look at the food you eat. CANCER AND OTHER DISEASES CAN BE CURED-This book will tell you how. I have recommended it to all my family and friends.

The Gerson Therapy... by Charlotte Gerson
An indispensable aid for those wishing to use the highest cure rate therapy for cancer yet devised. The incredible cures for many degenerative diseases wrought by slight variations of this program are also described in this book. With the recent opening of a Gerson Therapy center in Hawaii, and with the Baja Nutri Care facility in Las Playas de Tijuana, Mexico, what's not to love about this amazing chance to survive the deadly big "C"? With a cure rate under 10% in America, why not go with the Gerson Therapy, with almost ten times the cure rate? This book is logical, orderly, and well thought out. It is not "easy reading," but it is certainly essential reading for our day. The present rate for cancer is five of every twelve alive today. Doctors are already predicting that the rate will increase yet again. Be prepared. Know how to prevent cancer, not just cure it.

Not the only way
I found the book to be a litte condradictory. It acknowledges that other alternative therapies have cured terminal cancer via nutrition life style changes.It later leads you to believe if the protocal is not followed to the letter your cancer will return.This is simply not true. Whole foods is the key and detoxification. I know of a man who dissolved over 50 tumors in his body thru eating more fruits and veggies and coffee enemas and suplimentation of vitamins and minerals not mentioned in this book.He also has not juiced one drop of veggies or fruit.
