Written with heart and sidesplitting humor, this one-of-a-kind true story of friendship and a divine albeit outrageous dog delivers on its promise to reveal a pathway toward enlightenment . - Louise L. Hay, author of the international bestseller You Can Heal Your Life "Chase presents a beautiful approach to his goal of kindness and love. As you read Michael Chase's well-crafted words, you will find yourself laughing, nodding with pleasure, and even slapping your sides . - Denise Linn, best-selling author of Sacred Space and Soul Coaching "The Radical Practice of Loving Everyone is exuberant, hilarious, and thought provoking. - Anita Coupe, chair, board of directors of The Humane Society of the United States (2008-2012). Chase has entertainingly captured not just the love affair we have with our dogs, but why we'd do well to give up self-help books and guru sessions in favor of studying our canines. The purity of the message will stir your soul, and most important, open your heart to everyday opportunities that can ignite within you an unconditional love for all."

"Michaels friends become your friends, Michaels pain becomes your pain and Mollie's unconditional love becomes part of your heart and soul! Michael keeps his reader embracing this beautiful book by adding in other experiences in his life, both positive and not so much so that his reader is not feeling like they are being preached to, the reader is totally captivated by the metamorphosis of Michael, through Mollie, through his lessons in life and through the pains of hurt of situations that still sting so deep for him. He brings you into his soul and you learn with him, through him by association, by laughter and tears and most of all by loving Mollie, loving him, loving his beautiful wife Cara."
"Makes me think of my own life and how I’m living it."
"It is difficult to contain my enthusiasm about this book."
"Be ready to fall in love with Molly, author Michael J."
"Buy it, read and touch the lives in the book and learn."
"What a wonderful world we would live in if more people could practice Chase's kindness lessons and embrace Mollies, nonjudgmental/loving way of thinking."
"Mr. Chase and his mischievous canine BFF teach us to love unconditionally and to appreciate our greatest teachers (those people in our lives who challenge us the most)."
Best Dance Reference
With 150 stunning photographs of ballet stars Maria Riccetto and Benjamin Millepied demonstrating perfect execution of positions and steps, this elegant volume brims with everything today's dance student needs, including: Practical advice for getting started, such as selecting a school, making the most of class, and studio etiquette Explanations of ballet fundamentals and major training systems An illustrated guide through ballet class -- warm-up, barre, and center floor Guidelines for safe, healthy dancing through a sensible diet, injury prevention, and cross-training with yoga and Pilates Descriptions of must-see ballets and glossaries of dance, music, and theater terms. Gaynor Minden, a former dancer who now heads a dancewear company, has been immersed in the world of ballet for much of her life, and in this book shares dancer-to-dancer advice, much of which is aimed at beginning-to-intermediate level dancers, or adults who are either starting or returning to a childhood passion; dancers who have been committed to the art for a couple of years will already know on the finer points of finding a school, how to behave in class and the basic positions and movements, though the crisp photographs of professionals demonstrating steps are quite useful.

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"To be honest, they didn't cover the questions that people coming into essential oils really want to know. Most guides will give you ways to mix your essential oils in diffusers or in bath salts. There are your typical bath salt recipes, but they are detailed and do cover more than just mixing the oils in. There were times in this guide where it was very clear the writer did not speak or write English as a first language. There were times when the lack of translating/editing was glaring and it made certain portions difficult to read or follow. I don't need to see water boiling, but seeing what the finished bath salts or lotions look like does help to entice the reader and makes them want to try the recipe. There are a ton of oils on Amazon right now labeled as therapeutic or essential when in fact they aren't. This rating is based on how close to the title the book is, the information it brings to the table, and how likely I would be to recommend it to one of my natural health clients. I'd really like to see the writers change things up and come out with a real guide and then a recipe book. I think the two combined would make a great starter package and would set them apart from the hundreds of guides out there."
"The book was very easy to read. I love how it gives you the basics of what an essential oil is along with the examples of said oils."
"Essential Oils are something that I have on my must try list but I have never checked off, for whatever reason. This book is fantastic for those who are first time Essential Oils user or people who have been using them for a while. The author did a great job explaining the different ways to use them and the different types of oils and what they do."

Vision for Life presents an approach to eye health for people with 20/20 vision who wish to maintain their perfect vision as well as people who see poorly and would like to improve their eyesight. Based in part on the established Bates Method of eyesight improvement and in part on his own professional and personal discoveries, Meir Schneider's pioneering approach has helped thousands of people successfully treat a host of eye problems, including near- and farsightedness, astigmatism, lazy eye, double vision, glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, retinal detachment, retinitis pigmentosa, and nystagmus. The reader learns how to reverse developing issues before they cause damage or to remedy existing problems, including pathologies such as glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, retinal detachment, and optic nerve neuropathy. "I have been impressed with the work of Meir Schneider for many years, having personally seen the improvements in vision of those who have worked with him." “Based on the Bates Method, Meir Schneider’s self-healing system has complemented my practice in those cases where our traditional medicine has its limitations.”. —Leonardo Verri Paulino, MD, ophthalmologist and anterior segment surgeon at ABC Medical School, São Paulo, Brazil. “Working with my patients has verified that many sight problems get better and heal by taking up the right habits. Named one of the ten most inspirational people of Israel by a top national Israeli news program, MEIR SCHNEIDER is the founder and head teacher of the School for Self-Healing in San Francisco, which offers programs that satisfy the continuing education requirements of the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) and the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB). Born blind, Schneider taught himself to see and over 40 years developed a pioneering program of healing and recovery for the sighted and the blind, sharing his remarkable results not only at the School for Self-Healing, but also in popular books, CDs, and DVDs.

Find Best Price at Amazon"Biology went over mitosis and meiosis, but rather unclear and it didn't call the phases what it asks for on the exam, so learn those from another source (G1, etc.). This book gives you the vague overview of what would be on the exam, and it's up to you to fill in the more detailed bits...which is ridiculous. It's free, although you can unlock a full version for $12 or $13, I don't remember, and the practice tests are awesome. The best thing you can actually do is get this book, get the app, and make sure to take some peppermints and earplugs with you because the clicky-clack of other people pressing mouses and computer keys WILL get on your nerves."
