Speak Love Not War

Submitted by michael on 12. June 2011 - 23:22

I inspire myself with this book. I especially value this book as I see it revealing the concepts, simple guidelines and (in itself) example of a language (be it Percept, Green Speak, E-in-Sich-T or other) for individuation and making it available to a large audience.

Bruce H Lipton did it again - and this time with lots of humour thanks to co-author Steve Bhaerman. Lipton takes the intertwining of science and spirit from his first book, The Biology of Belief, one step further.

Sometimes less is more. This book is not a complete, exhaustive language guide but a condensed compilation of the good and bad parts of this hodge-podge that Javascript is.

The third book of the "Millenium Trilogy". I loved to read all three books and could not put down either of them. I definitely would recommend the trilogy.

The second book of the "Millenium Trilogy". I loved to read the sequel and could not put it down - like the first one. The end is a bit abrupt but by now you know there is a third book. I definitely would recommend the trilogy.

Daniel Tammet is a prodigy savant, of which there are apparently less than 50 alive in the world. His speciality lies with numbers and words. He has proven to learn a language in a week and learn more than 20000 digits of the number pi by heart in less than three months.

Teacher Man

Frank McCourt writes about his 30 years of teaching in New York's high schools and colleges. It is a good lesson about teaching - the big challenges, what is important and what is not.  And it is a book about himself and how he finally wrote his first book as a late bloomer.

This is fun to read.

As the Future Catches You

Subtitle: How genomics & Other forces are changing your life, work health & wealth.

The book was published in 2001 when the human genome was just about to be decoded.  It is primarily about life sciences and the dramatic change the author predicts it will have for individuals, nations and companies. It is written in a provocative style to make the reader uneasy and surge for further information.

Was geht da drinnen vor?

The book has an incredible wealth of information about the development of the brain and mind. Written by a neurobiologist and mother it provides lots of scientific background, yet still comprehensive. It focuses also on how much influence parenting can have and what stimulation can be helpful when.

The book is organized by the areas and capabilities that are developed. While this is good to learn about each and every aspect, it does not help when you want to get an understanding about all aspects for the current age of your baby.
