Story5 out of 5 stars 8,610
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 169
Love, Lucy is the valentine Lucille Ball left for her fans—a warm, wise, and witty memoir written by Lucy herself. The legendary star of the classic sitcom I Love Lucy was at the pinnacle of her success when she sat down to record the story of her life. No comedienne had made America laugh so hard, no television actress had made the leap from radio and B movies to become one of the world’s best-loved performers. This is her story—in her own words.

Such an amazing autobiography of an icon. And to be read so well by her daughter made it even more special.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 793
The Inconvenient Indian is at once a “history” and the complete subversion of a history - in short, a critical and personal meditation that the remarkable Thomas King has conducted over the past 50 years about what it means to be “Indian” in North America. Rich with dark and light, pain and magic, this book distills the insights gleaned from that meditation, weaving the curiously circular tale of the relationship between non-Natives and Natives in the centuries since the two first encountered each other.

For many years, Dr. Wayne W. Dyer’s fans have wondered when he would write a memoir. Well, Wayne has finally done just that! However, he has written it in a way that only he can—with a remarkable take-home message for his longtime followers and new readers alike—and the result is an exciting new twist on the old format. Rather than a plain old memoir, Wayne has gathered together quantum-moment recollections.

Loved both the content and how it was delivered, as well as the lessons I was able to apply to my own life. A couple of the stories were pretty “out there” but I respect them as his own experiences and beliefs. As with anything, take what works for you, and leave the rest.

Lucidly and beautifully written, Peace Is Every Step contains commentaries, meditations, personal anecdotes, and stories from Nhat Hanh's experiences as a peace activist, teacher, and community leader. It begins where the listener already is - in the kitchen, office, driving a car, walking - and shows how deep meditative presence is available now.

Thich Nhat Hanh shares so much wisdom in his books and this is no different. It's a peaceful listen, with so many nuggets to think about and apply in my life. It's not my favourite of his books, but certainly added value to my life.

Definitely worth a listen
Reviewed: 2021-05-10
I read some reviews before I started this book, so I knew it would have a bias toward living with alcoholics, and a strong Christian theme. And so, with those grains of salt in hand, I ventured forth. The best thing about this book is all the self-identifying examples and language. I had never thought of myself as codependent, as I was very independent my whole life. For any of you who don't think you are codependent, but tend to care for others, are in a healing profession, or feel unappreciated, i highly recommend reading this book. You might get a glimpse of yourself. Now that I've read the book, I'm hearing friends and strangers use language that indicates codependency all the time. I'm more aware of it now. That doesn't mean they are suffering and need to seek help or anything. I just think many of us have some of these tendencies, and being aware of them allows us to grow and change.
What I did not appreciate about the book was the aforementioned focus on alcoholism and addiction. I understand that the author is only sharing her experience, and so she should, but it is truly heavily biased toward this particular type of codependent relationship, the spouse of an alcoholic. There was an entire chapter on the 12 step process which was entirely unnecessary in my opinion - that can be found in so many other books. But was easy enough to skip. Overall, it is considered an excellent resource for codependency because it was one of the first to put it all together, and I'm glad it was written. I'm glad I read it. Just don't expect much more than self-awareness from reading it. That in itself is already a huge gain.
