| TARGET RISK |
 Gerald J.S. Wilde, Ph.D. "Antilock braking systems, airbags, Seattle laws, traffic lights, and speed regulations are all part of mammoth efforts to reduce traffic casualties. But do these measures and their counterparts in industry and public health have the effects intended? In his theory of risk homeostasis, Professor Gerald Wilde postulates that they don't because they fail to influence people's willingness to take risk." Drivers.com Order from

| THE ARGUMENT CULTURE |
 Stopping America's War of Words Deborah Tannen, Ph.D. Tannen's final question isn't "Can't we all just get along?" It's "What's a better way to do things?" She suggests that the ritual confrontations that have become such prominent features of, for example, media coverage, are badly misplaced, that they obscure truth at the expense of public safety and that they forsake information in the pursuit of entertainment. She isn't asking people to forsake the adversarial paradigm altogether "but to diversify." Caitlin Burke (click for the full text of the review) |

| ELDER RAGE OR, TAKE MY FATHER...PLEASE! |
 How To Survive Caring For Aging Parents by Jacqueline Marcell "Before I read Elder Rage I felt like a person without a country. When my husband's parents entered their "golden years" early I was totally unprepared. (...) In my search for information, I not only found the answer, I found a compassionate, heart told story that I could relate to. As I read Elder Rage, I laughed, I cried and I felt renewed. I strongly recommend reading the story, but if you don't have time, pick up the book for the reference section alone,it is unmatched. Congratulations to the author, what a story! " Reviewer: Marla Zaslansky from Pound Ridge, Ny USA |

| RELATIONSHIP RESCUE |
 Philip C. McGraw, Ph.D. Dr. Phil leads you to "reconnect with your core" in the first five steps of his seven-step strategy. By no means a quick fix, there are in-depth and rigorous questionnaires, surveys, tests, and profiles that require a "brutally candid" mindset, with such fill-in-the-blanks as "List five things that today would make you fall out of love with your partner." With this internal work accomplished, you'll then move on to reconnecting with your partner during a two-week, half-hour-a-day short course. As a "dyad," you and your loved one take turns giving monologues on topics such as "The most positive thing I took away from my mother and father's relationship was..." |

| ANGRY ALL THE TIME: |
 An Emergency Guide to Anger Control Ronald T. Potter-Efron I read a lot of books about anger, and this one is probably my
favorite so far. So many books about anger spend a lot of time describing the problem and
current theories behind the nature of anger, etc., but very little time talking about
solutions. Potter-Efron spends at least half the book giving clear, concrete things a
person can do to begin to bring anger under control. |
| LETTING GO OF SHAME |
 Patricia Potter-Efron, Ronald T. Potter-Efron, Patricia Potter-Efron "Each chapter
ends with practical exercises. The material is presented in an orderly fashion, working
through the issues one by one. The positive role that shame plays is covered, but the
focal issue is toxic shame. It is easy for the reader to identify with symptomatic
consequences of shame as each source of shame is presented. This is a practical self help
guide for anyone dealing with the self inflicting pain caused by shame." |
| WHO MOVED MY CHEESE? |
 Spencer Johnson "Who moved my cheese" is a simple and sweet fairy tale for grow-ups. The uniqueness of this book is that it avoids the arrogant "teach-you-how-to-live" attitude some other self-help book carry. Without blaming and judging its readers, it sends encouraging messages, telling people that during the difficult time of change, it is common to be afraid, to feel reluctant to let go the past. It also doesn't forget to address that when you start to make a change, things will not turn better immediately, it will take a while before you can find the right track. The whole book is written in a very considerate way, you can pretty much relate to the feelings of the characters in the book. " A reader. |
| WHO MOVED MY CHEESE? |
 Spencer Johnson "Listeners learn invaluable life lessons about "change" by way of a humorous parable narrated by Tony Roberts. His memorable interpretation of two mice and two tiny people caught in a maze (life's many paths) searching for cheese (a metaphor for your heart's desire) is gratifying and good fun. Hem and Haw, the tiny people, emulate us humans with all our faults, fears and frustrations.... " |
