what I appreciate about this book is that it fuses so eloquently the inner and the outer work that we all must face in this world we live in. Stories and anecdotes woven throughout like the way for the path ahead. This book is filled with both inner and outer wisdom, and I highly recommend it.

A darkly funny meditation on creativity and family, Be Brief and Tell Them Everything tracks the life of a middle-aged author who is struggling to write his next novel while trying to come to grips with his son's disabilities, set against a backdrop of ecological catastrophe and escalating human insanity in contemporary Los Angeles. A beautiful, powerful, concise work of autofiction, Be Brief documents the stops and starts of adulthood and marriage, and the joys and challenges of parenting, while defining what it means to be a good man, and a good writer.

Many of Brad’s notions parallel my life journey and he writes so clearly about the complexities of living an uneasy examined life. It’s a beautiful book that pairs well with his podcast conversation with Debbie Millman on Design Matters.

Robin’s book weaves together indigenous soulful insight, a botanist’s minds, and a poet’s heart into a masterful story that engages the senses. I read this book during a contemplative week in the wilderness. It was the best companion I could have imagined. I both read (and marked up the hard copy book) and listened to Robin’s soulful voice and words. Thank you, Robin for shaping such a beautiful way finding of heart, mind and soul. This my be the best book I’ve read in he last decade.

Using techniques she’s developed as a financial planner and spiritual coach, Leisa Peterson guides you to dig deeper and discover the root of your financial thinking to change not just the way you save and spend, but the way you live your life.

Insight guide & actionable toolkit for abundance
Reviewed: 01-30-21
There are two ways to read (AKA experience) this book.
First, as a passive learner to gain insight and perspective on your relationship to money, wealth, and abundance.
Second, as an active participant to enliven your relationship to money, wealth, and abundance.
Just as we can’t manage what we aren’t aware of, if you read this book as an active participant in the ways you work with money and how money works for you, you gain actionable clarity on how to change money habits that are no longer serving your highest and greatest needs.
Through The Mindful Millionaire, Leisa Peterson has written a thought-provoking and action-oriented book that can change your experience with money, all while deepening your self-awareness. The book has a spiritual center to it but is filled with pragmatic thinking and tools. The tools and insights within The Mindful Millionaire meet you where you are on your wealth and spiritual journey.
I highly recommend The Mindful Millionaire if:
- You want to increase your clarity on how you see and relate to money and abundance
- If you’re looking to do inner work to change your money story
- If you’re seeking to increase your financial wealth and flow
- If you live with a spiritual center and want to see your finances as a cooperative flow that works for you and with the world around you.
The book is an insight builder, an awareness creator, and a toolkit to drastically change your money relationship for good.

Great until introducing politics
- By Lindsay on 03-10-20
A refreshingly clever book; creative, insightful!
Reviewed: 10-18-18
Posting a review here to share how much I loved "Scramble!" It was top-to-bottom quality and a fascinating, insightful read. The characters, the plot, this situation—all plausible and captivating. I loved the insertion of the Uber driver, Sokrates—reminiscent of “Way of the Peaceful Warrior,” a book I loved when I was younger.
Mostly though, I loved how you played out agile strategy in a thriller setting. Really smart and captivating…much like the way things unfold in the real world with a diverse cast of characters, each with roles, strengths and weaknesses contributing (or not) as a team.
It makes me want to get closer to some of the approaches within: how to better apply the 5Qs and the 5Ps.
Well done, Marty! Keep the great books coming.

It's tempting to believe that brands like Apple, Nike, and Zappos achieved their iconic statuses because of serendipity, an unattainable magic formula, or even the genius of a single visionary leader. However, these companies all adopted specific approaches and principles that transformed their ordinary brands into industry leaders. In other words, great brands can be built - and Denise Lee Yohn knows exactly how to do it.

If you could sum up What Great Brands Do in three words, what would they be?
Essential voice in branding.
What was one of the most memorable moments of What Great Brands Do?
Denise Lee Yohn offers a critical voice and fresh perspective in the clouded and crowded world of branding. In "What Great Brands Do" she offers key principles for world class brand building while keeping her finger on the pulse of what living, breathing brands face culturally, socially and creatively. The seven critical principles she offers within the book are grounded in practicality and give hope to any brand aiming for greatness, no matter if they're a start-up or well established.
What does Julie McKay bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
She keeps the content moving at a solid pace.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Any additional comments?
Most important, Denise weaves together the range of importance of a brand's culture, their ongoing relationship to audience and a powerful eye to how they view their own products.

Page Turning Fiction
Reviewed: 05-30-10
In typical James Huston fashion this book, in line with his others, turns out to be a real page turner. And, as ususal, Mr. Huston finds an uncommon and creative manner to make the story plausible by weaving in facts and law. Apparently, the ICC is a real institution and this could happen. Scarey stuff.
He also doesn't shy away from bringing today's politics into the story. Mr. Huston points out how President Obama has downgraded the current US military and intelligence stance and blames many of the current problems on President Bush.
I highly recommend this and all of Mr. Huston's books. This one does not disappoint! It's plausible, page-turning fiction. Can't wait to see movies of some of Mr. Huston's books!

This is a great legal, political and action novel. Comes at you from many different directions and never fails to keep you guessing "what's next?". Huston's characters are strong and the story weaves an unexpected path. You'll also learn a thing or two about the history of our politics.
