Book 23 (2013) Hero (zero) by Rhonda Byrne

I loved her previous books but this one is a loser.  No insight to be gained.  The extraordinary person as an example is not helpful.

Other books by the same author:
The Secret
The Power
The Magic

Book 40 (2012) The Magic **** by Rhonda Byrne

This is the third book by Byrne (The Secret, The Power) on the subject of how to attract good things into your life.   These books have made a profound difference in my life.   The principles are simple and you've heard them all before.  Long before I read these books, I had implemented many of the principles, but reading these books really hones the positive mental practices.  

It all starts with gratitude --- the greatest lesson to learn in life.

Book 47 The Secret The Power**** by Rhonda Byrne

A powerful book, following on The Secret's huge success.  I found the Secret changed by life, and The Power, helped me deal with my negative thoughts, and change relationships almost immediately.   You have to replace any bad feelings with thoughts of what you want.   Once you do that, what you want will happen.   Every time you have a bad thought, you delay getting what you want.   And don't feel bad about having negative thoughts.   Anyway, already today, there is a marked improvement in my relationship with a close friend.   What I wanted from her I am now getting without having to do a thing.

Book 35 The Definitive Book of Body Language 0 by Allan and Barbara Pease

Another airport impulse buy, already have it too. This updated version has some new things, but otherwise it's very much the same book.

The most memorable message is that women have much better peripheral vision than men, and that women are much better at reading body language than men, in fact, men are almost blind at when it comes to reading body language.

As for peripheral vision, I have always thought that search and rescue should send out women to look for missing people and have instructed my women friends to look for me if I disappear and not rely on the police. I cannot imagine a man looking down from a plane and spotting something when they can't even find something in a drawer staring right at it. At least there is a physical explanation for it now
