Table of Contents Title Page Copyright Page Dedication IF I STAY AcknowledgementsĭUTTON BOOKS A member of Penguin Group (USA) Inc. ![]() ![]() ![]() I can only imagine that a society in which «Put first things first» ("habit" 3), «Think win-win» ("habit" 4) and «Seek first to understand, then to be understood» ("habit" 5) are considered ground-breaking ideas is a deeply damaged one. I do believe that Covey's advice is good, but I find it hard to imagine how it is deserving of such praise. If the book's title was "Seven values for becoming well-balanced" that would have gained the book one full star in my opinion, up to three. What Covey lists can hardly be called "habits" in any behavioural sense of the word. ![]() He came up with an arbitrary set of reasonable values which he believes constitute a decent and well-balanced person, and artificially coerces them into a coherent ideology. Did Covey first define what a highly effective person is, gather a large set of people who fit the definition, and search for what habits they had in common? No. As others have noted, it implies there was underlying research carried out by Covey. It's rare that I feel negatively towards a well regarded book, but it wouldn't be fair if I kept my opinion on "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" to myself. I also have no idea why I am in the minority in this opinion. I have no idea how this book became a classic bestseller. Common-sense wrapped in arcane ideas and language ![]() ![]() ![]() Reiss offers a start, but we have yet to reach the end of Dumas’s story. The past has no choice but to rely on writers and readers. At the end of all these travels, Reiss returns with an account that, in its essentials, does not differ from John Gallaher’s 1997 monograph, General Alexandre Dumas: Soldier of the French Revolution. The biggest problem, though, is that this story frequently seems to be less about Dumas than Reiss. All too often, when Reiss turns a phrase, he turns it towards a cliché. Tom Reiss wrings plenty of drama and swashbuckling action out of Dumas’ strange and nearly forgotten life, and more: The Black Count is one of those quintessentially human stories of strength and courage that also sheds light on the flukey historical moment that made it possible.-Time A remarkable and almost compulsively researched accountThe author spent a decade on the case. It is not that he gets the general history of the revolution and Napoleon wrong it’s just that he does not get it right enough. Such errors weigh less than other, more elusive problems with the historical canvas painted by Reiss. Reiss, a professional journalist, gets bits and pieces of European history wrong. They also allow Reiss - though with less literary panache than Dumas and, at times, an equally cavalier treatment of history - to introduce us to the world that, come 1789, replaced the Old Regime. ![]() These experiences, we discover, were as remarkable and romantic as the man who related them to his son. ![]() Reiss in turn emphasizes that Dumas’s novels were fueled by his father’s own experiences in earlier wars. ![]() ![]() ![]() But what kind? As neurologists fight to save her with unsuccessful treatments, one doctor recalls an extremely rare auto-immune disorder about which little is known. ![]() Only when Susannah has several intense seizures - foaming at the mouth, rigid limbs, vacant eyes - is she finally admitted to a hospital in the midst of some kind of breakdown. As her condition worsens, she’s handed off to a series of baffled psychiatrists who diagnose bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and even alcoholism. The story begins when then-24-year-old Susannah Cahalan, a sparky and driven reporter for the New York Post, suddenly starts acting strange: erratic behavior, wild mood swings, and symptoms like numbness and hallucinations. What about this memoir makes it so engrossing? I read it on the bus I read it on my lunch break I read it at home when I was supposed to be washing dishes. I just finished reading Brain on Fire: My Month of Madness, by Susannah Cahalan, and although it’s a cliche to say so, I truly could not put this book down. ![]() ![]() Kartiki Gonsalves (Director) gently addresses the human-animal conflict while focusing on Raghu's attachment to his carers (Bomman, Bellie).

She tells her true and outrageous story of her bizarre reality with her inimitable wit, unabashed self-deprecation, and buoyant, infectious humor. The show takes audiences on a comic tour of Fishers messy personal life and career. Entertainment Weekly declared it “drolly hysterical” and the Los Angeles Times called it a “Beverly Hills yard sale of juicy anecdotes.” This is Carrie Fisher at her best-revealing her worst. Wishful Drinking, the show, has been a runaway success. ![]() ![]() It’s an incredible tale: the child of Hollywood royalty-Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher-homewrecked by Elizabeth Taylor, marrying (then divorcing, then dating) Paul Simon, having her likeness merchandized on everything from Princess Leia shampoo to PEZ dispensers, learning the father of her daughter forgot to tell her he was gay, and ultimately waking up one morning and finding a friend dead beside her in bed. Intimate, hilarious, and sobering, Wishful Drinking is Fisher, looking at her life as she best remembers it (what do you expect after electroshock therapy?). Fisher reveals what it was really like to grow up a product of “Hollywood in-breeding,” come of age on the set of a little movie called Star Wars, and become a cultural icon and bestselling action figure at the age of nineteen. ![]() The bestselling author of Postcards from the Edge comes clean (well, sort of) in her first-ever memoir, adapted from her one-woman Broadway hit show. ![]() ![]() As useful as those now out-of-fashion copybook exercises. He introduces characters and incidents with his unusual literary style and grace, bringing to the fore those that have been forgotten or obscured. His own prose is generally competent, often urbane. Barzun describes what Western Man wrought from the Renaissance and Reformation down to the present in the double light of its own time and our pressing concerns. As a text, however, or even as a desk-top standby, this has only limited value: Barzun's informal organization and conversational tone preclude easy reference to comments on any specific problem of style or word usage. His discussions of diction, syntax, tone, meaning, composition, and revision guide the reader through the technique of making the written word clear and agreeable to read. ![]() Most of them are In fact little known and quite striking. A fter a lifetime of writing and editing prose, Jacques Barzun has set down his view of the best ways to improve one's style. Barzun includes many examples of literary infelicity which the reader is supposed to rework (though his failure to provide ""solutions"" or hints tends to undermine their usefulness) and gives several examples of what he considers to be good prose. ![]() Barzun covers the standard topics-diction, sentence structure, tone, precision of meaning, and composition-and adds a salutary chapter on the inevitable revisions. ![]() ![]() This primer in rhetoric is aimed at the same audience, i.e., those tyros, chiefly academics, who write in hope of publication.
