Talk to Me: Conversation Tips for the Small talk challenged

by Cheryl A. Dillard from USA on 2007-03-08
Great book, good shape. Thanks.

Nothing useful or path breaking in this book

by Joe Twain from USA on 2005-09-29
Title of the book is misleading. I thought it would help me with "small talk" but there are only 4-5 pages about that. ALL of the book is common sense stuff with nothing special to help you in small talk situations.

How It Helped Me!

by Susan V. Ringwood from on 2007-11-22
It has been 26 years since I graduated from college. I just recently retired and have started back to college again. Things like writing research papers have certainly changed during my hiatus from the academic world. I really needed a reference to help me with the papers and someone at the college suggested this book (A Writer's Reference with Help for Writing in the Disciplines). The suggestion was an excellent one, and the book is an enormous help. It's very easy to use, but at the same time is filled with everything and anything you might need. I would definitely recommend it to anyone, but especially someone in my situation.

Easy to read, visually stimulating, clear and concise

by D.C. from San Francisco, CA USA on 2007-09-29
I initially ordered this book as a requirement for an undergraduate university program. Although I love researching articles and getting to the bottom of things, I was pretty (embarassingly) unexperienced as far as proper sourcing according to MLA and/or APA styles. This book is great because it's organized with colourful dividers and easy to read sections, providing the latest up do date info for MLA AND APA formatting. It's actually fun to read because you quickly feel you're getting a hand on this intimidating subject, and it makes it accessible in a clear and concise way. With the sections and dividers you can quickly flip to specific stuff you're looking for without being overwhelmed with the details of other material. Definitely a must have for anyone considering to write research papers, or delving into other writing adventures...especially for getting into graduate level work!

This little book does not try to, and cannot take place of a textbook on creative writing. My focus has remained not so much in telling people how to write, but in trying to point out both dead ends and gold mines.

A lot of widom in this little book

by from on 2001-01-09
I've had this book for three years and use it more than any other book I have on writing. What magic a few words can spin in the mind to dust away the cobwebs. I reach for it whenever I need to feel motivated or when my creativity begins to wane. This is a great, inexpensive gift to give any writer, beginner or experienced.

A great little book!

by Rena from Wisconsin on 2010-01-07
I so enjoyed this little book. It is full of great and very useful writing tips.

Description

New York Times bestselling author Iyanla Vanzant has created the Tips for Daily Living card deck to help you address some critical life issues. Each card presents a question for you to consider, which, when answered honestly, will support you in creating a new vision of yourself. This card deck supports the sage advice, "Live today surrendering your will to God, don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today." The charismatic spiritual leader Iyanla Vanzant knows how easy it is to stay stuck in "old ways, holding on to resentments, beliefs, decisions, agreements, judgments, and ideas that may have become habitual." Through these tips, Vanzant hopes to show readers that the easiest way to create change is to simply shift your attitude–daily. "We often work so hard to get the things we want that we miss the fact that it is the landscape of the inner world that stands between us and true happiness." In each message, Vanzant names an old way of thinking and offers readers a new attitude to try on." For example, Vanzant writes, "You may have believed that you had to stay in the painful hole of hurt caused by loss or hurt. Use these tips to make a conscious effort and choice to cover the hole and move on." Pick a card each day . . . and discover the life you’ve always dreamed of!

Healing and empowering cards!!!

by Aurora Diaz from Guaynabo, PR United States on 2003-10-26
One of the best healing decks I own, it only compares to Louise Hay cards. This are not affirmation cards,each card ask you a question in one side, on the other side an empowering action is suggested. The actions are to be taken "NOW" in the present moment or day. Buy this deck, it is a gift of love your soul will be grateful for!The only thing is that my cards came without the box, just covered with plastic (Saran paper), and I found here that they are supposed to come in a beautiful box. I bought them in Borders, full price, $ 15.99.Aurora Díaz, Puerto Rico

Inspirational and Artistic

by Rebecca Johnson from Washington State on 2004-01-18
I love inspirational card sets and this is one of the most beautiful and interesting sets I've yet to encounter. Iyanla Vanzant is a best-selling author who has created these cards to encourage you to address critical life issues in a creative manner. Each cards a question that lads you to a variety of answers within and a few answers on the back of the cards. Front: "When are you going to stop doing the things that bring you pain?" Back: "Are you willing to live pain-free today? There's no need to endure pain. Simply do what feels naturally right and good for you." Front: "Where in your life can you show more compassion?" Back: "Are you willing to demonstrate compassion today? Allowing yourself to see things from the other side of the table opens the door to understanding more." You will encounter questions about living with passion, areas of your life that need attention, fears you have to address, what brings you happiness, appreciating yourself, listening to others, speaking the truth, forgiveness, anger, simplifying your life and letting go of the past. There are so many topics that we deal with on a daily basis. Through these 50 cards, you can learn to follow the wisdom of your heart. I've found that mostly I just need a reminder of what I'm supposed to be focusing on this busy planet. Often we focus so much on one issue that we forget to weave all the elements of our existence into a beautiful tapestry. These cards help you to find those threads you lost someplace along the way and while reading these cards your life can become more complete and fulfilling. Cards to help you become a more beautiful soul! I love the artwork on these cards. This set of cards works well with your journal. You can write the answers in your journal and that way you will be able to reflect on the questions and answers. That is a good way to see where you have been and where you are heading on your spiritual path. ~The Rebecca Review
