A Free Lunch – No CatchesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
When we launched How To Be Rich and Happy we were using my old database that contained people that had either bought or downloaded one of my 3 previous books. It was all getting a bit messy and I reluctantly had to stop selling ‘Don’t Ask Stupid Questions – There Are No Stupid Questions’ to avoid an Enron like accounting mess. Amazon have been selling the hardback and Kindle version, but the ebook has since just sat there gathering virtual dust (If you click here you can see it has 5 reviews and all gave it 5 out of 5 and none of them are family members). When I turned on my Mac the other morning I saw it sat o...

The ABC’s of Recovery From a portion of Chapter 5 of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. Our description of the alcoholic, the chapter to the agnostic, and our personal adventures before and after make clear three pertinent ideas: a) that we were alcoholic and could not manage our own lives; b) that probably no human power could have relieved our alcoholism; c) that God could and would if He were sought.

Review: Spanish for Breastfeeding SupportEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
I recently had the pleasure of working through a review copy of Spanish for Breastfeeding Support by Tanya Lieberman, IBCLC and Diana Glick, MA. The book is a self-guided course to teach you how to support breastfeeding mothers in Spanish. It’s an extremely helpful tool for building effective communication skills. Not only does it provide the necessary grammar and vocabulary for breastfeeding support, it also provides the one thing I have often found lacking in foreign language instruction — conversation skills! All the vocabulary and grammar will not get you very far if you do not feel comfortable actually spe...

A Crohn’s Book ClubEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
I was thinking that we should start a book club. I read a lot because of many reasons, one of which is that I have a lot of potty time available for my reading pleasure. The other, is that I just love to read. Or rather, I love to get lost in a story and forget my troubles and worries just for a little while. I love it when I get so excited about a book, that I can’t stop thinking about it and can’t wait to get home to read it. The last time that happened to me was when I read the Twilight series. I could not put those books down. I have read many authors across the spectrum of different genres and will...

Children of Gay ParentsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Parenting is a complex task, one that doesn’t lend itself to easy generalizations (which isn’t going to stop me from making some in this article). Virtually every parent believes they know what’s best for their own child, regardless if they’ve ever parented before, read a single parenting book, or talked to a single professional about parenting skills. The theory seems to be that if, Since I can have a child, I must have the innate skills to know how to raise that child. Except that theory isn’t exactly based in logic or what we know about parenting from research. What new parents of their fir...

thoughts for HalloweenEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Now for some non-concrete thoughts. I dislike Halloween. I especially hate yard decorations. For one thing, do you know how eerie a fluttering ghost or witch can be when you’re driving by in the dark, early in the morning, barely awake, trying to get to the hospital? For another, I think covering your house in Halloween images is downright foolish. Witches, for instance, are not benign jokes. Sure, many self-titled witches today probably can’t accomplish much of anything. However, that doesn’t mean the concept isn’t real. In the Bible, for example, the witch of Endor summoned the spirit of the dead ...

Everybody milled around with cocktails; the head sizzled over the flames. I was angry at my daughter's kindergarten teacher because she was supposed to be grilling the elephant head at the barbecue, but she hadn't bothered to show up. And so th...

How Is Addiction Recovery Like Baseball?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
When you think of addiction recovery you usually don't associate this with baseball BUT after reading the following quote I think you will agree that in our addiction recovery and in our spiritual lives we should be striving to be more like the game of baseball. "Baseball teaches us, or has taught most of us, how to deal with failure. We learn at a very young age that failure is the norm in baseball and, precisely because we have failed, we hold in high regard those who fail less often - those who hit safely in one out of three chances and become star players. I also find it fascinating that baseball, alone in sport, consi...

Off the Shelf: “Everything Is Fine” by Ann Dee EllisEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
I loved how this book was written. Such crisp prose. Sparse, yet intimate, with a clear and strong voice. “Everything Is Fine” was written from the point of view of Mazzy, a young preteen who is coping with family tragedy. Her father is away on a new job, though one is given the feeling he is avoiding the drama at home. Her mother is a shell of her former self. Finding out what destroyed her is part of the mystery of the book. Much like the peeling away of a lettuce, the story is told in parts. Some take place in the past, some in the present. Some relate to the tragedy, some give us a window inside the mind of this ...

We feel this is important for us - and for them.For one thing, it allows us to be open and transparent.

Book Review: ‘Road Rules’ to live byEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Did you know that around 40 million squirrels a year get run over on US roads simply because they are so busy running back and forth, with no plan or strategy, with the sole aim of finding nuts? Which is why Andrew J Sherman, in his self-improvement book Road Rules, suggests that we need to ‘Be the Truck. Not the Squirrel.’ Unlike squirrels, trucks are big, powerful, and have a plan, road map, and destination in mind. They, unlike the squirrel, don’t get squashed. Yes, it sounds a bit extreme, even violent and aggressive. But once you get into the book, you’ll find that there is nothing at all aggressive about Andr...

The Red BookEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The big news in the Jungian world this week is the forthcoming publication of Jung's The Red Book, a volume Jungians have been curious about for decades. Perhaps as big is the unusually positive article about the effort to publish the book -- in fact "Jung and the Holy Grail of the Unconscious" was the cover story for yesterday's NY Times. John Grohol also writes of this publishing event today. I have heard about The Red Book for years so naturally I am curious about it. And if and when a chance to look at it closely comes for me, I will certainly take advantage of it. I must confess though that I am more int...

My ebook guide to Buprenorphine/SuboxoneEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
I have talked about the book I am working on– I decided at some point to come out with two things. I receive so many questions about Suboxone– apparently many doctors don’t come up with suggestions for dealing with surgery, pain, etc. So I have produced an e-book that describes my approach to dealing with all of the little things that can become big things without proper guidance. The e-book is called ‘A User’s Guide to Suboxone’, and can be downloaded for $17.95 using the links below. This book is all very practical– not theory. It discusses how I handle planned vs emergency su...

Fans of ‘The Biggest Loser’ reality series looking to lose weight will be pleased to hear that the doctor behind the program, Dr Robert Huizenga, has written a book “Where Did All The Fat Go” to guide them on their weight loss. But if you plan on following his action plan, be ready to sweat. Huizenga’s weight loss program focuses on large quantities of jogging daily and a strict balanced eating plan. According to him, the body has to work at 120% 7 days a week in order to lose the fat. To do this, anyone looking to lose weight needs to exercise at least 2 hours a day. There is no time to rest. As for the type o...

Birdscapes: Birds in Our Imagination and ExperienceEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Not too long ago, this unemployed scientist had the honor of being asked to write a book review for Science. The Science book review editor was looking for a review of Jeremy Mynott's new book, Birdscapes: Birds in Our Imagination and Experience. The editor, who peeks at my blog when no one is looking, noticed that I am a scientist and bird maniac who writes and publishes lots of book reviews on my blog, so he very kindly (and out of the blue) decided to give me a chance to write for one of the top scientific journals in the world. My review, which I wrote while I was in Finland, has just been published and is now availabl...

Washington Legal Foundation Opposes GBS DealEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Via James Grimmelmann, the Washington Legal Foundation, a group known for its defense of property rights, filed an objection to the Google book deal earlier this month focusing on concerns related to those I raised in my posts earlier this week. WLF points out that the Supreme Court has mandated that plaintiffs seeking to certify a class must make a diligent effort to notify all affected class members. According to the high court’s Shutts decision, this effort must include—at a minimum—sending a letter to every identifiable member of the class. In this case, this would mean sending a letter to every address in th...

Google Book Search, Class Actions and the Separation of PowersEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
In response to yesterday’s post making the case against the Google Book Search Deal, I had spirited conversation with Google policy analyst Derek Slater, who helped me understand Google’s perspective on the case and some of the issues I discussed. He raised a reasonable objection to my claim that “the settlement would give Google carte blanche to use these orphan works without making a serious effort to contact their owners.” He points out that the settlement stipulates that the Book Rights Registry will make an effort to locate orphan works holders and hold funds in escrow for five years to be paid...

Book Review: The Writing DietEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Julia Cameron, author of The Artist’s Way and Vein of Gold, books about the process of writing through morning pages and journaling, has tackled dieting in her new book The Writing Diet. A big fan of her previous two book on writing, I was interested on seeing how she incorporates writing into weight loss. Turns out she does it quite easily. Julia suggests that by using writing as a primary tool, you can figure out what’s causing your weight problem and then fix it. Full of assignments and creative exercises, the book really makes you stop and think about the choices you have been making and the choices you could make....

The Libertarian Case against the Google Book Search DealEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Five years ago, Google began scanning millions of books for inclusion in what eventually became Google Book Search. Google carefully designed the service to stay within the boundaries of copyright’s fair use provisions, at least as Google interpreted them. Still, some authors and publishers objected, and in 2005 they filed a lawsuit accusing Google of copyright infringement. The lawsuit dragged on for more than three years. Finally, in 2008, the parties announced a settlement of the lawsuit. Its text runs for 140 pages, not counting a secret termination clause available only to Google and its adversaries. The deadlin...

Six Pixels of Separation: Book ReviewEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Bottom line up front: If you want to make social media for your personal brand or your corporate brand work for you, buy Six Pixels of Separation by Mitch Joel. Reviewing Six Pixels of Separation I got an early galley copy of this book and I dove in right away. I’ve been a big fan of Mitch’s blog for a LONG time, and I was delighted to get an early copy of his book. I dove in quickly and shoved about 100 other books aside, and this book didn’t disappoint. The book was jam-packed full of stories and examples on how others have succeeded in the online world. I find this is how I learn best, by learning from others�...
