At some point in time, we all wonder about the meaning of our existence and wonder if our insignificant actions changed the world in any way... This was my bedtime book which I eagerly finished reading in just a few nights. Mitch Albom deftly weaved key life lessons into an engaging, warm and inspiring story of sacrifice, forgiveness and love. His close attention to details and breadth of

Why can't I be as successful as Bill Gates? We all want to be successful but somehow can't seem to find the perfect concoction for success... I invite you to journey with Malcolm Gladwell as he examines the true life stories of successful as well as unsuccessful people in an attempt to map out the pathway to Success. You'll be shocked. You'll be inspired. And you'll view geniuses differently

This book transformed my life... It spurred me to attend daily Mass and made me more aware of sinful thoughts and actions; no matter how tired I am, I would wake up at 6am everyday (except Sundays) to go for the 6.30am Mass at a nearby church... The visions of many mystics and the uncanny consistency of their testimonies, despite living centuries apart and in very different times and cultures,

Lengthy but in-depth and interesting account of Dr Dement's sleep research. Much of the content is on his experiments and personal experiences and those interested in the conclusions of his research could just focus on Chapter 14.
