Sample Books and Reviews:

The Game of Life Cookbook, Recipes for Better Living by Robert Michael Foster, MA.  This electronic booklet has the big picture and specifics on how to learn how to live a better life with decreasing anger.  It tells how to live a life of continuous improvement and why you have not been able to do so until now.  This booklet is in HTM format readable by most popular web browsers.  The package also includes:  Healing Hearts by R. M. Foster MA.  This electronic DOS booklet can show more ways to choose happiness and spirit.  The Secret Steps to Recovery by R. M. Foster MA.  This electronic DOS booklet picks up where Healing Hearts left off with details on the steps to recovery.  Also included is The Secrets of Teamworking for MS Works (c) format, my-part.wks & my-part.wps as well as over 300 daily tips and other inspirational information.  For details go to the order form.  Unrated, since it is my booklet.

Reality Therapy by Dr.William Glasser, M.D.  PaperBack.  Pocket.  Bill's book tells the basics of how to improve your life.  The bottom line is to ask yourself how you like how you life is going.  If you do not like it, make a plan to improve your life.  Take action steps on your plan. Celebrate success and forgive yourself and others all your failures.  Return to the first question, make a new plan, take action steps, celebrate and forgive.  Love it.  *******  In fact I love all of William's books and he has a lot.

The Quality School and The Quality School Teacher and Schools Without Failure by Dr. William Glasser, M.D.  Bill has the solutions for the public school system, when the parents, public, and principals are ready to listen.  The system is the problem and the system is easy to change.  These system changes are also solutions for businesses, homes, churches, communes, etc.  The fundamentals work everywhere, they are really used.  The home school system could benefit greatly from the same books.  I wish them all well.  The book's subtitle tells the whole story of Reality Therapy & The Quality School in "Managing Students Without Coercion".  *******

Focusing by Eugene T. Gendlin, Ph.D.  Tape.  For the Professional.  This book is available as a Bantam paperback pocket book.  They did a strange thing.  They looked at why therapy worked for some and not others.  They found how successful processes worked.  They called the process focusing on your felt sense.  They are correct.  I have seen the same elements in all kinds of successful therapy.  The focusing process, if you do it by yourself and with others, will lead to recovering your feelings, your intuition, your inner child and your good life.   More information available at http://www.focusing.org.  *******

The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People by Steven Covey.  Paperback.  For people who like a lot of detail work, this could be the book to assist you.  Even if you do not like to do the details, the concepts can be simplified and can be of assistance.  Steven's most effective suggestion is to begin with the end in mind.  That is to know where you are going so that you can get there.  ******
