Easy to Read Health Book
The first easy-to-read and to understandbook on men's health. A woman could pick up a tip ot two as well. The best word-to-the-wise advice book around.

A book you can turn to in sickness or in health.
You'd never expect a book titled "The Man's HealthSourcebook" to be entertaining, but surprisingly it is. With wit,clarity, and style, Dr Dashe educates the reader and answers the myriad questions you might have,whether about problems as trivial as athlete's foot or as serious as angina.Each chapter discusses a different body system, how it works and what to do when it doesn't.There are countless valuable tidbits concerning medicines, health maintenance,and common sense philosophy. Best of all, Dr. Dashe's personal anecdotes make this book a great read, one you can turn to in sickness or in health. ... Read more

this is an excellent book
I found out about this book from my pastor.He said it would help and it did.The book offers a map of grief.It shows what it is, the path it takes, what makes it worse or better and importantly what we do to get through it.I needed a map and I got it. A Must Read For Men Who Are Grieving
Thomas R. Golden's "Swallowed by a Snake" is by far one of the best books on grief that I have ever read. And because the book is primarily geared towards those with a masculine style of grieving (activity and future-oriented), as a man, I could immediately identify with what Golden had to say. Swallowed by a Snake
This book was excellent. This was my first book on grief, and I found it very well written and easy to understand.I feel that the author gives a good background on how the grief process works, and why men experience grief differently. ... Read more

Great all around advise...
The book gives excellent advise on maintaining a healthy lifestyle for living a long life. I am 39 and wish I would have read this book years ago...

Good advice on how to look and feel better
I was a little leery about purchasing this book.So many of the diet or fitness books that are available are either full of "fluff" and contain little valuable information or they are filled with trendy, speculative, and untested recommendations.I was pleasantly surprised by this one.This program is filled with solid advice on a variety of topics including exercise, diet, relaxation, and supplements.It even has sections that deal with hair care, skin care, grooming, and clothing styles.

This book changed my life
Making Peace with Food is so good because you can't read it as a passive audience.The exercises that allow you to internalize the messages of the book are invaluable to anyone who is tired of being preached to by someone who doesn't understand ED.The themes of the book include learning how to stop objectifying yourself by constantly focusing on your body.Also, it shows how to appreciate all kinds of bodies, including your own.It made me think twice about who I was starving myself for.I finally found someone who understood my situation and my feelings instead of just telling me to relax and eat.It is so good.I wish I could give a copy to every woman in America.By the way, it is clearly written for young women, I am 19 and found it quite relevant.

Food is no longer my higher power!
After years of learning negative behaviors around food, and years of an unhealthy relationship with food, I found a book that challenged my ideas about food and weight. I read a review on this book that mentioned how upset they were about this book telling you that it is ok to gain weight. Well, what this book really says is that we all come in different shapes and sizes and that is ok. Maybe it is not healthy to be the weight that we desire? I loved this book because it helped me to learn that food is no longer my God or my enemy. It taught me that it is ok to eat.

changed my life
I had a serious eating disorder and this book was a turning point for me in my recovery.One of the other reviewers said this book would only be appropriate for fat people who wanted to feel good about themselves.This was not the case for me.I had a serious problem and was very thin.The exercises were so helpful in this book.I believe that one cannot really recover until they deal with their attitudes regarding weight and self-acceptance.This book helps you to do that. ...

A book that deals with the most common problems that men face in their lifetime, the issue of sexual disorders. No more suffering men that don't know what's happening to them, no more cries for help and no more complains from women, get this book and you'll be ok. A good book but it found the solutions in "Volume II - Natural Penis Enlargement: New methods of avoiding and curing impotence, premature ejaculation, and erectile dysfunction safely and inexpensively. ... Book on CD-Rom for PC & Mac Computers" by Platinum Millennium to be of much more use then the ones presented here

Easy to comprehend, informative, and insightful.
One of the finest books written on penile disfunction.Easy to comprehend, informative, and insightful material on a complicatedand thought-provoking subject matter. Hard to put book down...especiallyintrigued by the chapters on women.The book flows easily from beginningto end.

Thank you for helping to find a solution to a major problem.
What an insight to Viagra! I have found the book to be so easily understood. It is excellent reading for a husband and wife to understand so that they may make an intelligent decision about the solution to theirproblem. I highly recommend this book.Thank you Dr. Newman! ... Read more

A must read book that deals with sexual problems in an easy and understandable way. A great read even for men that don't have sexual problems because it teaches them what to expect from life and not to give up. A far better book in my opinion is "Natural Penis Enlargement: New Methods of Avoiding and Curing Impotence, Premature Ejaculation, and Erectile Dysfunction Safely and Inexpensively. New ... No Pumps, No Pills and No Gadgets! Vol. 2" by Platinum Millennium, one of the best books on them market that i liked very much

Good
Richard Milstein's simple yet effective title doesn't fail my expectations, i found out lots of things about sexual disorders and my own body that i did not know. Great title that I recommend for all that are searching for a minimal but crucial amount of information. For those who want more and better, i recommend" Volume II - Natural Penis Enlargement: New methods of avoiding and curing impotence, premature ejaculation, and erectile dysfunction safely and inexpensively. ... Book on CD-Rom for PC & Mac Computers" by Platinum Millennium, a book that i have read and that cleared out all the sexual myths and truths out there

Good balance of scientific evidence and practical information
As a scientist, it is comforting to know that there are authors out there that know that many people would like to know scientific information without being treated like a specimen.This book gives great scientific citations while also giving practical information and personal stories.I think it is a good balance for this type of book.
A great book for those in need.
This was a great book for us.Very easy to read - it had the technical stuff but explained in a very down to earth way.It covered many subjects from IVF, IVF ICSI, donor sperm.All in non-judgmental ways, I gives you the facts of all and lets you decide without steering you one way or the other.It also discusses some of the causes.I thought the books was super and should be required reading for all couples that are in this situation.

Just the facts, ma'am
I am lucky in having pursued infertility therapy as a client (successfully, thankfully) as well as by being a urologist who treats infertility clients.I read this book to decide if it would be a helpful adjunct to the people I treat.I have decided not to recommend it to my clients.I would sooner have them read Larry Lipshultz's book, technical as it is.

The info on this tape can be a lifesaver for food addicts
Clearly, the previous reader's review was written by someone who has never experienced food addiction."Exercise and diet" ?That's the same as telling an alcoholic to get ahold of themselves and control theirdrinking.Food addiction is real, and the hell of it kills many peopleevery year.Janet Greeson was one of the first pioneers of facing foodaddiction and promoting the healing necessary for wholeness, through the 12Steps.If you're concerned about you possibly being a food addict (if youthink you are, you most likely are...denial can keep you sick and unaware)get this tape, or better yet one of Janet's books.It may be the firsttime you see hope in your future.I am living proof of recovery.Godhealed me, but I believeHe worked through many different ways, Janet'sprogram being one of them.Take care, start recovering, because you AREworth it.

What a Load of ****
I've listened to all sorts of weight loss topics and this is by far the craziest thing I've heard.Don't waste your money or the time it takes to listen to this.Attend meetings, exercise and eat a balanced diet.

life saving
When I first read Janet's book,I was in the terrible throws of bulemia.Her book opened my eyes to wanting to go in to recovery and into her program.I had tried many other courses,non of them worked and all that was done was Iwas put in mental wards,[people with eating disorders are crazy youknow!!!]and got worst instead of better.I own my life to Janet,my recoveryhas not been perfect and yet I'm still here....She is an angel here onearth with us,love you Janet. ...

Geared heavily toward eating disorders and weight issues
If you or a loved one have an eating disorder or weight issue, this is the book for you.If you don't, but you suffer from Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) or another form of crushing insecurity about your appearance which is unrelated to weight, you may wish to look at some of the other titles on the subject.While Ms. Maine does a nice job of describing the root causes (media, culture, etc.) of women loathing their own bodies, and makes an excellent case for a pro-women revolt of some sort, the classic title on that subject, "the Beauty Myth," by Naomi Wolf, goes into much greater depth on the subject.Either one, however, would be a great book to share with any unsympathetic men in your life, but the Beauty Myth is much more comprehensive.
Society's Problem...Made Worse by Men... Just as Bad Over 50
Thank you for writing this book!I have struggled with compulsive eating (although I would not call it that, this book does) for most of my life.
The Body Myth
This book very clearly and concisely explains why women in society are increasingly pressurised by the media to conform to a very narrow definition of feminine beauty.It is well-written and has excellent advice on how to counter the messages a woman is not considered a woman unless she is white, heterosexual and middle-class.The book does not blame women for feeling insecure but holds the media and society responsible.The authors argue that women are in fact diverse and they all come in different shapes, sizes and ethnicities.It is positive and includes some cases studies.This book is different in that it focuses on adult and mature women. Highly recommended and well worth the purchase price. ... Read more

A book that easily catapults you into the next level!
I found Leslie's book accidentally a year ago in an airport bookstore.I had no idea what the book was about, only that I was burned out working in a small job in a toxic work environment.It was so inexpensive, I bought it.When I began to sift through it, I wondered how these little simple worksheets would be able to do anything like the cover promised - rekindling the passion.
Life Changing Book
Without a doubt this book has changed my life for the better. I have gone from deadend job to deadend job for the past 15 years now, but while reading this book it was like the fog finally lifted. I realized I needed to find the job I loved, not the job that simply paid the bills. Now I am on my way - finally. The exercises seem simple and I really didn't see how they would help me, but they did. They get right to the point and you discover things you didn't even know were an issue for you. I would reccommend this book to anyone who is in this situation.

Warm & Energizing Antidote for Today's Busy Women
Leslie Godwin's advice will hit home for so many of today's women, and, I believe, inspire them all. With case studies, e-mails, and lessons from a variety of women of different ages and in different careers, Leslie shows how to deal with the burnout that so many of us experience in different phases of life. From parenting issues to workplace challenges, there are many parts of the book that may speak to you.

Different
This book is different I guess the best way to describe it.It tells stories and I don't see where I benefited from the book.The author is very judgmental attitude but there isn't real depth as one reviewer stated.I wasn't impressed, I wouldn't say it was a waste of money but my time is what I lost on this book.It just is different.

Extreme encouragement found in these pages!
If you are looking to lose weight or just want to discover why you overeat then this is the first book you should read!It is filled with encouraging stories and takes a closer look at why diets are not enough to keep the weight off.Easy-to-read and encouraging this is an honest, practical book.

Come ci, Come ca
A previous reviewer expounded ad nauseum on the anger and rage that MUST be felt by fat women the world over; almost as though he himself has been involved with women of size and felt their wrath. However, that is more indicative of his own issues (why keep choosing women with these issues? He himself must be overly familiar with anger and rage) than an indicator of the value of the book. I found the book to contain many of the familiar diatribes and platitudes of any recovery program, without the depth. This is not to say that there were NO redeeming qualities; simply that such a simplistic ideology about the reasons for obesity insult the individual who suffers from such a disease. ... Read more

Proper AB training explained
The book is good, and really details the proper way to train your core.It is focused on training your lower abs so that they will adequately compensate for antagonizing muscles.Proper training of the abdominal muscles will result in better posture, less exposure to injury and better definition of the core muscles.It's critical to strengthen your core since it must stabilize you in almost all body movements.This book is a great step in learning how to do this.The diet info at the end is a little out-dated, and based on low fat intake.After reading this section, I would recommend skipping it and instead following the advice for diet and nutrition found in Paul Chek's latest book Eat, Move, and Be Healthy.

Pretty good book on ab development, but outdated
I have to give this book credit, it sticks to its topic very well, making the book concise and easy to follow.It opens with the basics of ab anatomy and then moves in to various exercises and programs for strengthening and developing the abdominals.Only at the end does it stray slightly off course and discuss the nutritional aspects of ab development. Definitely very good for beginner
Definitely very good for beginner, although I have to agree that flipping pages back and forth during the exercise is not very convenient. Authors could position material better or include a separate workout sheet. Most of the excersices can be done at home. ... Read more

A Great Approach
I was very impressed with this book. I found that I could not even put it down! There is something wonderful about reading a book that focuses on people's lives and how they overcame terrible situations. "Appetite for Life" approaches eating disorders from a different angle, and I have already told all my friends, especially those with young daughters, to read it!

"Interesting and Educational"
"Appetite for Life" is one of the most interesting books that I have read on the subject of eating disorders. Reading about seven people and their experiences made the problem much more understandable than just a regular how-to book. I like how the author combines these stories and examples from her therapy practice. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to know more about eating disorders.
Heart, Hope and really good information....
Having gone through my own recovery from compulsive overeating, I have found that books on this topic have often been either over-simplified and condescending, or complex and intimidating.Personal memoirs have been either overly dramatic and maudlin, or saccharinly sweet.Ryerson's compilation of stories is refreshingly free of all of these extremes.She adds clear prose and heartful insights to her clients' stories, so that the book reflects a tone of partnership, the kind of thing all of us could use when grappling with this topic:We're not alone, even when we might feel alone."Appetite for Life" did indeed inspire me - to keep on keeping on with my recovery, and in the process, I was moved to tears, smiles and some of my own insights about myself. This is the kind of book that would be great to read even if you're not a recovering addict - but want to be informed, and read some plain-ole-good stories while doing so.And what a gift this book will be for friends and family members still struggling. ...

Great information clearly illustrated.
The book is basically one-of-a-kind and that alone should give it some due respect.You will come away knowing more about shoes and their manufacture than you ever thought possible.However, if you ever visit Vass in Budapest for a fitting, don't expect them to follow the lengthy steps outlined in the book for having custom shoes made.They won't.How quickly (and simply) you are measured will come as a great surprise.That said, you will still be stunned at the beautiful (and perfect fitting) shoes that you will receive. And through the book you'll be clear on how they came about.
Fantastic Book !
If you want to know how to make shoes or just want to know how shoes are made this is the best book that you can buy.Every page has beautiful closeup color photographs.Just by looking at the photographs alone shows you how it is done and there are many, many, photographs showing you every stage in the process of hand making a pair of men's shoes.

Finally, a decent book on shoemaking
Information on shoemaking is getting difficult to find. I bought this book hoping I could learn how nice shoes are made. I was very pleased with what I learned from this book. One step further into the details, however, would have made this book the last word on the subject.Read more

Cosmo-tized Men's "Help" Book
For the heterosexual male over the age of 25 and still not suffering from puberty, this book has nothing of genuine advice but catering to the pedantic ruminations of the the already well-known and "sentaliionalized" (i.e. what is suppose to be "titilating" but by now receives only a jaded response from overhype and overexposure).
Great Guide, even for women

A great book that takes premature ejaculation and explains it from the ground up. No unnecessary information , no style, just the pure facts presented in a step by step approach to the disorder. Robert W. Birch short textbookpresents only the basics of managing premature ejaculation, if you want more out of a book maybe you should look for a much more detailed title, something like [...], the best book on sexual disorders on the market

Excellent book and advice
Apparently I'm the first person to review this important book. I'm a little surprised about this, since Dr. Birch has excellent credentials and this is such a potentially important problem in a couple's sex life.

The great thing about this book is that Peter Dorsen writes with a sense of humor. You can tell he's not a traditional, button-down, by-the-book doc. There's lots of advice and information, but it's also fun to read.This would be a terrific book for women, too, if they want to get to knowtheir over-40 guy better.
