By Lisa Lillien When I ordered the The Hungry Girl Diet book and started reading it, I was pleasantly surprised! Now you no longer have to be hungry when you diet, you can eat all the foods you love. This is why I do not consider this a diet. Which diet have you heard of that allows you to eat large portions? Unlike other diet plans, this one is not intimidating nor does it require you to drastically change your lifestyle. Welcome to the wonderful world of easy to follow affordable recipes, that anyone can enjoy. Lisa takes you by […]
Lean In
Women, Work, and the Will to Lead By Sherly Sandberg There was a lot of buzz surrounding this book, so being interested in professional women, I decided to grab myself a copy. I had watched Sherly Sandberg’s TEDTalk on youtube before and after reading this book it seems to me that Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead is more of an extended version of that. Before I continue with this review, I just want to mention that I personally am not striving to be the next Sheryl. I did however find this to be an excellent book. […]
The Signal and the Noise
Why Most Predictions Fail but Some Don’t By Nate Silver If you are one of those people who are searching for the secret on ‘how to predict’ then this book is going to disappoint you. In The Signal and the Noise: Why Most Predictions Fail but Some Don’t the author has made it a point to state that there is no such secret in existence. I on the other hand expected to get a lot of information on his whole prediction process, and was not disappointed at all. This is a well researched book, that even includes discussions on problems […]

The Bottomless Well

Mills The Bottomless Well: The Twilight of Fuel, the Virtue of Waste, and Why We Will Never Run Out of Energy : For anyone who has any interest in energy, its cost, future and the political debate over this precious resource- The Bottomless Well is a must read. This book is an intriguing insight to the other side of what most of us have been led to believe on the environmentalist monopoly of the subject.

The Fair Tax Book
By Neal Boortz And John Linder The Fair Tax Book: Saying Goodbye to the Income Tax and the IRS : Few people would expect a book about taxes to take The New York Times bestseller list by storm, but that’s exactly what The Fair Tax Book has done. For decades, Americans from every point on the political spectrum have moaned about April 15th and the maze of ridiculous instructions and high confiscatory taxation that accompanies that day. The current tax code is a labyrinth of over nine million pages of indecipherable jargon only a federal bureaucrat could fully appreciate. So […]
Rich Dad Poor Dad
By Robert Kiyosaki Rich Dad Poor Dad: What The Rich Teach Their Kids About Money That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not! : A lot of people have read Robert Kiyosaki’s books (and he has a lot of them), but this is the one that started them all. I think what endears people to Rich Dad Poor Dad is the story. It seems to me that whenever a non-fiction book teaches with stories, it does very well. So, if you’re going to write a non-fiction book, weave your info into a story. Rich Dad Poor Dad is the story […]
