4-0 out of 5 stars Men sharing
It is good that men should dwell together.Men should share their experiences with eachother.

2-0 out of 5 stars Too dated to be of much use
A nice try at defining life stages but this book misses the mark. It's too culture-bound to be of much use to anyone other than white middle-class American baby boomers. If you are one of those - as I am - you may recognise yourself in this book up to a point, but I doubt you will learn much that's new. As other reviewers have pointed out, it would have been a groundbreaking book in the 1970's, but these days you'll find similar information and analysis in the lifestyle pages of most Sunday papers.

2-0 out of 5 stars Dated Material
This book reads like a bad psych textbook from the 60's & 70's; because thats basically what it is.There are some masculine universal truths but you really have to search for them.The case studies & occupations are dated & irrelivent to baby boomers in the 21st century and not very helpful IMHO.Still there are a few pearls and saving graces but you really have to work hard to read this one. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars Great Resource for Overeaters
I really appreciate this book. I loved the caring tone and the way the author seemed to reach out and give the reader a hug! I think that so many of the stories and descriptions spoke to my heart about myself and friends that I found myself calling friends or emailing parts of the books so we could talk ideas! This is a gem! Thank you for writing it, Doreen.

5-0 out of 5 stars Thank you, Doreen !
without giving too many details as it would be too personal, I consider this book a "gift from above"... : it helps people understand WHY they eat too much, and how to get your eating pattern back in control to lead a successful weight loss. Doreen gives plenty of tips, such as affirmations.There is no pretention in her book and it helps people who have been struggling with emotional overeating and who have been victims of abuse,whether the "facts" happened during their childhood or later in life. It's a powerful self-therapy book, highly recommended !

5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent for emotional eaters
I had never made the connection between my emotions and my eating until I started reading this book.After tolerating abuse from my parents and my husband, I had no idea why I seemed so nice and happy on the outside but one little thing could make me lose it and throw a temper tantrum.By doing the exercises in this book, I began to see how I had been keeping my emotions stuffed and as I released them, I also released the weight.Great book.I highly recommend it for emotional eaters. ...

1-0 out of 5 stars Outdated and Useless
A lot of the percursors mentioned in this book, namely androstenedione, are no longer legally available in the U.S.

5-0 out of 5 stars I tested prior to takingandro and after!!!!!
The advice given is worth listening to. I did. I am 58 and tested prior to the use of Androstenedione and after, The results were great. I was at the lowest level of testosterone to start and after 6 months of 50mg of Ando per day, It was raised the middle level, Just where I wanted to be. L-Glutamine and Creatine are other supplements to be considered for older men, When used in correct doses and exercise bring good results. I have more studies on my website. Roger Mason, a Scientist has other good books on Amazon check them out.

4-0 out of 5 stars Super Book on Super T
This is an excellent presentation, aimed at a lay audience, for the role of testosterone replacement and supplementation for male and female health. The author clearly knows the field backwards and forwards, and presents a balance view on each supplement and approach discussed. I also thoroughly agree with his view on weight training, which can be summed up in a question one posed to Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Ah-nold's answer: "Am I too old to train with weight?" "You're too old NOT to." Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Saves lives
All I can say is that a prominent physician who does some of the greatest number of diagnostic workups for Prostate conditions had the courage to recommend Larry Clapps work in addition to the mainstream approaches as an alternative as he had seen so many benefit from it.

5-0 out of 5 stars Prostate Health in 90 Days
It will probably be a while before I'm sure how helpful the book will be.So far, though, I'm pleased with the information.
1-0 out of 5 stars Many Conclusions and Opinions- Little Evidence
Offers many unique and very unusual opinions, but unfortunately almost none are supported by direct references to a study, clinical trial, or scientific article. Statement after statement is presented as fact with no support. With so many strong conclusive statements presented, if the results are so clear, where are the studies, medical articles and comparative trails with supporting results!! Book cannot or doesn't provide. Appendix does provide general references/addresses/phone numbers of other "..Healers and Products". I do not recommend this book ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars Not a bad investment. Encyclopedic on exercise versions and methods.
This book has extensive variations of all sorts of exercises. In the first impression, I felt that was a distraction from simplifying life for exercisers. Yet, the variation of equipments, environment, and exercises convinced me that could help people to choose among many options. One exercise of T-bar row was done with the bar anchored on a dumbbell, which made me feel uneasy. Yet, it could help people where machines are scarce. Many gyms I visited lack the T-bar row machine and the idea of using a heavy dumbbell isn't bad for a beginner. It could cause injury if the dumbbell moves, though.

3-0 out of 5 stars interesting
This book was interesting enough, but I don't feel that it helped me really understand men going through a mid life crisis.I will still keep it on my bookcase though.

3-0 out of 5 stars A Bit Negative...
Although informative, this book comes from a very negative place. While some men do participate in affairs during their midlife crisis, there are some who don't, as well as those who come to their senses and want to work on their marriages.For those searching for hope, handling the issue with realistic expectations and integrity, I would suugest Jim and Sally Conway's books, "Men in Midlife Crisis" and "Your Husbands Midlife Crisis."
5-0 out of 5 stars A wonderful guide through the journey called midlife crisis!
It is unfortunate that so many marriages are falling prey to midlife crisis (if you want to call it that).Point is our disposable society makes it too easy to divorce.This book is a pratical guide to help you traverse this journey.Not only is the book an easy read and very helful in understanding and keeping yourself in check, it really focuses on learning about yourself and not talking blame for your wayward spouses issues.It helps you be a better you!As well, the website listed is a direct link to others suffering the same things.That site has so much information, one could read for days.There is also chat which is helpful and one bonus is that friends can be made to last a lifetime.This book has it all and I implore anyone in the throes of this anxiety called midlife crisis to read this book and then peruse the site for loving and supportive help. It is a truly a gift to know you are not alone. ... Read more

It seems to me that there is FAR too little focas on the entireity of those who suffer from eatig disorders and self injurous behavior. I do mean suffer, because there is more to the whole picture than hurting themselves.
5-0 out of 5 stars Book holds valuable information.
As I read through the reviews of "The Best Little Girl in the World", I just had to throw in my two cents.
5-0 out of 5 stars Worthy of a read
While I understand that people view this book as setting anorexic standards to the anorexic, I do consider this to be a good book. I think it is important to bear in mind the time period that this was written in (it's a pretty early book on ED considering it was first published in 1979).

5-0 out of 5 stars Quite useful for the straight (or gay) man
Now first off, I have to get something off my chest. I am not a homophobe - I had a homosexual roommate sophomore year of college and we got along fine - but I get tired of people (most commonly women) who either drool at anything or anyone homosexual or having this belief that homosexuals are inherently good at anything involving home decor or style. I hate to break it to you, but homosexuals are like you and me, and not all are like the Fab Five. Remember my homosexual roommate? His side of the room was the messiest I have ever seen a human being make. The Fab Five would have had collective heart attacks upon seeing the state of it. By the logic of the homofangirls, I was the homosexual. Not to mention that half the things said in this book I have also read in "straight" men's magazines including "Men's Health" or the alternate "Men's Fitness." I'm sorry folks, but there's no Cult of Gays out there in brown robes meeting in caves and passing down tablets written by God that tell you what brand of shaving cream to use. The reason the Fab Five are so good at what they do is because they have had the training or education and DO know what they are talking about. For example, Thom Filicia founded an interior design company, and Kyan Douglas has had experience in professional and commercial salons.
5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent
Fun format, visually appealing (of course!), useful information in all subjects, even some really delicious, simple-to-cook but impressive-to-serve recipes, and take it from a girl: what these guys say about what appeals to women (or turns us off) is absolutely true.Best of all, it's never about changing who or what the reader is, but about bringing out the best that's already in him.

Heard the taped version of QUEER EYE FOR THE STRAIGHT GUY by Ted Allen et al. . . . I must admit to not being a big favorite of the TV show (of the same name); however, that said,

5-0 out of 5 stars great for beginners
What...no flashy hard cover? Black and white photos, and a single picture on anatomy of the body? This book is a great example that you should not judge a book by it's cover. I was looking for a book that could introduce me into the world of weight lifting. I needed the basics in nutrition, form, breathing, and progression. This book gave me every thing I was looking for and more. This was my third book I purchased to get me started. The other publications were flashy, full of color and expensive. But this is the book I go back to over and over again. I am very happy with this book and I am progressing very well with the right know how provided here. A great guide for beginners

5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book to Improve your Physique or Stay in Shape

4-0 out of 5 stars You've gotta start somewhere...
If you're searching for books like this, chances are you are 'looking into' getting started with weights or getting back into them. One thing you should know is that no one book on the market is the be all/end all for weight training. Two broad categories of books in this field are those that present you with routines and those that focus on exercise mechanics. I like this book because it gives you enough of both to get started - which was the biggest hurdle for me. You get the exercises (w/ photos) and the proposed progression routine to follow. For all its shortcomings - I completely ignored everything it had to say about nutrition and supplements and it has given me great results - if you can follow the break-in routine laid out here for 12 weeks, your body will be prepared to move into whatever direction you want to go. That will probably mean buying more books, but at least you will have a feel for what you are looking for. If you can't get through the break in routine you prolly won't be looking for anymore books anyway - until you feel inspired again. If you have the extra cash, you should prolly pick up the "Strength Training Anatomy" book to get more specific information on the indivdual exercises. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Still Feels Current 19 Years Later
I have not quite finished reading this book but am very excited about it.It really is a good comprehensive guide for men.These are difficult lessons for men to digest and they are presented fairly straightforwardly and in a manner that is simple to understand.Despite the fact that the book is almost twenty years old, it is one of the few where I find the illustrations do not seem particularly out of date.On one point I may have to disagree with Ms Jackson.She states that a man should not mix three patterns when wearing a suit, shirt, and tie.I find that in modern dress, this can distinguish the men from the boys.I do agree that this is somehting that not all men will be able to do effectively so it may be best to avoid it (which may be the authors point in discouraging it).If you want to go one step beyond this book, pick up Alan Flusser's Style and the Man.With these two resources, you will have no excuse for not looking your best every day.

This is a great style book for men since there are few good ones out there for us and, if we spend too much time thinking about it, some people think we're you know what!5-0 out of 5 stars A book that no man that wears clothes should be without...
I've bought several 'men's guide to fashion' books over the last couple of years, and this is simply the best book on this subject I've ever read. This book will help you determine what you look best in (colors, fit, etc.), and how to coordinate your purchases so that everything you buy will go with everything else. It's a book that no man should be without--ESPECIALLY IF YOU HATE TO SHOP. This book will teach you what you need to know so you can spend less time looking for clothes, and more time receiving complements for how you look in them! ... Read more

Editorial Review

The violent forms of child abuse that make headlines are not the only ones that leave lifelong scars. A child who grows up in an unstable environment where empathy, clear boundaries and trust are lacking, can end up living a ravaged adulthood. Children can be crippled by mixed messages, family secrets and reversed parent-child roles. Many victims of these practices are not even sure their childhood was abusive. This balanced, practical guide delineates traits of abusive families. Narrative vignettes in each section illustrate and personalize critical issues. Most valuable is the step-by-step self-help program that includes exercises and journal work for recovery. ... Read more

The book was informative and helpful. It gave me some real insight into helping my patients. I have also recommended the book to some of my patients.

4-0 out of 5 stars Good Resource to Understand How You End up with Your Issues
I remember reading this book over and over again at one point of life, but in retrospect, this book traumatized me in a realization of the issues I was dealing with at the time. I would call this type of book "pathology book" in stead of calling it "recovery book." It helps to understand why certain issues arise, but in life, what you do about it is more important than understanding it. This book left me so sad without a lead to a hope of living. The solution suggested in this book was not effective to me. It would have been better if a book had pathology part and EFFECTIVE treatment part.
5-0 out of 5 stars A much needed prescription for victims
Thank you, Mr. Farmer, for recognizing that the hurt doesn't stop once the abuse does; for me, coping with it as an adult was more difficult than as a child because I now realize with an adult's intelligence and insight, exactly what was being done to me and how horrible it was. So much abuse is undetected until the child grows up and realizes that no, this isn't normal (I didn't realize all families weren't like this) and it WAS wrong. Too many well-meaning people minimize the adult survivor's pain or dismiss it as meaningless: "that was years ago and it's over" "get over it and move on" or the worst, "Just don't dwell on it anymore." If you haven't been abused, you don't get it and never will. thank you, Mr. Farmer, for not only understanding, but for showing us a way out. The focus on child abuse is on children, not the survivors, and we need help too. ... Read more

My wife to be loves taking charge and now that I've learned the ins and outs of anal pleasure our time together is better than ever.She has always loved using devices on me, but prior to reading this book it was often too unpleasant to enjoy.A little pain good, but too much is too much.This book helped her learn how to deliver, and me to receive, in such a way we hardly have a reason to leave the house anymore.

5-0 out of 5 stars Eye Opener
This book was a real eye opener for me.I had no idea about some of the topics discussed in most of these chapters.No diet or lifestyle change works over night, and I think that this book helpsexplain that in the simplest way.

3-0 out of 5 stars OK, for what it is.
This is the same stuff one finds in the women's magazines at the checkouts or maybe this is where they may have got some of their articles.The "why do you eat" quiz was my favourite part of the book & helpful.I have lent this to other friends & they liked it as well.Evidentlty they don't buy women's magazine .All in all a so-so addition to my library.

2-0 out of 5 stars Maybe for someone with more control!
I didn't find this book very helpful at all, I think it would be more helpful for someone with more control over their eating.For someone who struggles with deeper issues with food however, not very helpful.The suggestions are good, but it's just not that simple for everyone, as much as I tried! ...

5-0 out of 5 stars Great Book
The Steroid Bible had all the information I was looking for and is the best steroid book that I have found. Dosages, stacks, cycles,and avoiding side effects are covered in great detail.

1-0 out of 5 stars Impotent, disorganized and incomplete disinformation...
I can't even call this thing as a book. It's a disaster.Dont throw your money away.It is disorganized and leads you to nothing.

5-0 out of 5 stars Doesn't get any Better
It doesn't get better than The Steroid Bible. The best part of the book are the extensive steroid experiences reported by the real life steroid users who share every detail of what it was like to obtain and use steroids. Top that off with extensive medical research and tips on avoiding steroid side effects and you know why it is called The Steroid Bible. ... Read more

Editorial Review

What makes Claude-Pierre's treatment of anorexia and bulimia revolutionary? Perhaps it's that the astonishingly high success rate of even the most chronic cases at Claude-Pierre's Montreux Clinic (only sufferers near death who have not been helped by doctors and hospitals are admitted) defies the common misconception that eating disorders are incurable. Claude-Pierre has made a personal commitment to dispel this damaging myth. Having cured her own two daughters of anorexia, you might say hers was a vested interest. Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars The Secrets Exposed
Author Claude-Pierre explains in layman's terms the mechanics of eating disorders. This greatly helped me to understand the mindset of the sufferer and seriousness of these types of disorders. The book offers a through explanation of symptoms, who is at risk, treatment, advice and support to family and friends of sufferers. In addition, there are some excellent references for reading materials and websites for help and support.

5-0 out of 5 stars Life Saving
All my life I've hated the way my body looked like.I hated my body so much, that by the age of twelve, I just decided to give up on it.This is when a deep depression set in.I began contemplating suicide, cutting myself, and eating for comfort.As the years passed on with self-destructive behaviors, I gained a good amount of weight.By the age of fourteen I weighted 145 lbs.
1-0 out of 5 stars very disappointing
I found this book to be almost annoying in the level of arrogance the author exuded in her writing.She has absolutely no training in psychology apart from the fact that her daughters struggled with eating disorders.This book did not reveal any new insights or cures.I find it appalling how little training she has in the arena of eating disorders and yet feels qualified to open a clinic and write a book.She does not back any of her statements up with scientific data, and the book seems to be trying to sell her clinic more than inform others on how to help those struggling with eating disorders. ...

4-0 out of 5 stars A helpful book,Prostate a guide for men, Fred Felkins husband of Joan Felkins
This book was refered to me when I was told that I told that I had Prostate cancer by a doctor.The doctor informed me that most men do not understand what the prostate does and how it operates.I read the book and achieved a better understanding of what I was facing.My wife did not read the entire book but did read certain parts and used this to support me in this time. I would recommend that every man over 50 beg, borrow or buy this book, read it, study it and visit with their doctor and get a yearly check up.I am a five year survial of Prostate cancer and every 6 months when the doctor tells me that it is still in remission I rejoice.

This book provided the practical every day treatment information that I needed regarding my recently diagnosed prostrate cancer.

5-0 out of 5 stars The Authoritative Book On Prostate Cancer
Amid all of the rumors and horror stories one confronts after being diagnosed with Prostate Cancer, this guide was conforting to both my wife and me. Doctor Walsh and Ms. Worthington are to be commended for preparing a text that a layman can understand and at the same time put to rest the fears stimulated by the horror stories a cancer victim encounters. Especially impressive were the illustrations by Leon Schlossberg. As one who underwent the radical nerve sparing surgery, developed by Dr. Walsh, I knew exactly what would happen and what to expect. I purchase copies of the book and pass it on to men I know who have been diagnosed. ... Read more

3-0 out of 5 stars New Perspective, No New Info
Very persuasive in it's presentation that men have to eat like men, but outside of that there is really no new info.Probably an easier way to begin a healthy diet/lifestyle.

5-0 out of 5 stars It's my bible
This book is fantastic.The authors dispell many myths surrounding the differing nutrional and exercise needs of men and women.It may come as a shock to many, especially the editors of the Library Journal, that men and women are indeed different.
5-0 out of 5 stars Will help you get in shape and keep at the top.- From someone that lost more than 200 lbs

5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent for the Newly Informed Cancer Patient, BUT CAUTION!
I freaked out when I was told by my urologist, just a few months ago, that my biopsy showed prostate cancer and---by the way---would I like to be put on his surgery schedule for next month!This is a fabulous book and one I throughly recommend for the newly diagnosed man who is reeling from the shock of getting this rotten news and not sure what to do.HOWEVER, the book is written by an American surgeon and that means a heavy bias toward treatment for everyone (even low risk cancers) and preferably surgery.It turned out, in my case, that the cancer is less aggressive than my urologist was leading me to believe (get that second opinion!).Monitoring the cancer for changes is a defensible strategy for avoiding the awful side effects of ANY of the treatments for prostate cancer, if your cancer is at a low to medium risk.All that said, this is still a great book and covers most all the bases.

5-0 out of 5 stars Very Informative Primer on Prostate Cancer
My husband was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1999.He has had two cryo ablation procedures and yet still has the cancer (confined to the prostate).Having worked for a well-known urologist for many years, I feel Dr. Lange's book is the best literature we have read over the years and has helped answer the many questions we have had in language my husband can understand.Our urologist, however, spends a great deal of time with us explaining everything.

5-0 out of 5 stars Everything you (or your partner) needs to know
This book covers prostate cancer from the prospective of a surgeon who treats the disease and who admits that he was terrified when he was diagnosed with it himself. Prostate Cancer for Dummies covers symptoms of prostate cancer and how it's treated (surgery, radiation, etc.) and also covers how to cope with the side effects, such as impotence, depression and so on. The author factors in how cancer affects the whole family and discusses how the person with cancer can help his family help him. The newest studies on cutting edge treatments, foods to eat, how to prevent cancer from coming back and everything you might want to know about prostate cancer is in this book. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars This book has helped me overcome my bulimia
I received this book while I was in a mental health treatment center as part of my treatment. The title was dorky so it took alot to get me to pick it up, but when I did I was not sorry. In just the introduction alone I found the description of my disordered thoughts and as I read on I found the sources to my bulimic tendencies that tortured me. Im not done with it yet, but every time I read a chapter and fill in the journal I gain a greater understanding of my obsession with food. I recommend this book to anyone, any age, who has ever been concerned with their weight, whether they are terminally ill or just dieting.
5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent Resource
I found this book a wonderful addition to my Obesity Program. The delivery came on time, the books were in great condition and my students appreciate its content.
