You Mean I'm Not Lazy, Stupid or Crazy?!: The Classic Self-Help Book for Adults with Attention Deficit Disorder.......2007-08-17
This is a must-have for people with ADHD or those who interact with an ADHD individual. I have gotten to understand myself better from reading this book, and I feel a sense of relief now that I know I am not "Lazy, Stupid or Crazy!" I actually had a hard time putting this book down, it was easy to read after a long day at work - I was surprised to find it so humorous and entertaining - something that I haven't found too often in a book of this sort. It is by far the best book on ADHD that I have read; I highly recommend it.
Excellent book on Adult ADHD.......2007-01-24
An excellent book on the subject of adult ADHD. If you think you have it, or have been recently diagnosed, this book will give you a great deal of insight into the disorder, and offer loads of self-help advice. Written by two women who themselves have adult ADHD, they really know what they're talking about. Buy it today!
Finally it's mine!.......2007-01-23
I checked this book out from my local library and was amazed as I read it. They were talking about me! I checked it out again a year later and began rereading it. I saw so much more that time. I renewed it the maximum amount of times and had to return it. After I checked it out for the third time I got around to buying it. Now I can read again --- but this time make all kinds of notes in the margins. Thank you for a wonderful reference, a lifesaver for me.
you mean I'm not lazy, stupid or crazy.......2007-01-15

Easy read, very good........2006-11-02
I read through this book quickly. It is very well written and up lifting. I passed it on to others since I felt I was freed from some of the Craziness myself.
Great for new Christians.......2006-05-09
This is probably the best book for new Christians there is (besides the Bible). It an easy read and makes so much sense. Everybody need a copy of this book.
Literally, my most favorite book..........2005-12-17
In a very easy read, each chapter reviews a different crazy Christian teaching such as "I just need to give it to the Lord...". It explains how each of our our crazy Christian thinking ways keep us stuck in our problems. The most awesome parts are the very clear explanations of how to address the issues in life that we try to apply these crazy ways to.
If you feel many suggested "Christian" ways to solve problems aren't working, this book is a must. Dr. Cloud is a very sincere Christian who is also incredibly wise in how God made people. His ways for addressing problems are simple, biblically based, and make sense. Best of all, they work!
Some Good Information.......2005-09-06
This book gave me some good information, I would recommend it to others for sure.
HOLY SMOKES! I mean, HOLY GOD! THANKS FOR THE BOOK!.......2003-11-22
WOW! This extremely well written book, which is also extremely timely, is incredibly scripturally accurate. It is also very practical and extremely accurate in helping with life situations. I agree with other comments that this book SHOULD be required reading for everyone; Its application is THAT practical and its overall message SO important. Order it yesterday! P.S. As an avid reader, this is the most HELPFUL book I have read in a very long time. Cloud and Townsend surely have made my Christmas list-They are each going to get a THANK YOU gift for saving my LIFE!

High school art teacher Quinn McKenzie's life is perfectly normal--and it's making her insane. She's living with Bill, the nicest guy in Tibbett, Ohio, and he's crazy about her. Really crazy. Quinn is already having serious doubts about the future of their relationship when Fate intervenes, in the form of the scrawniest, squirmiest scrap of a dog you'd ever want to lay eyes on. She figures if the dog has the good sense to detest Bill on first sight, she ought to pay attention. And besides, there's Nick Ziegler, local mechanic and totally unsuitable love interest. Of course, that only makes Nick all the more appealing, not to mention his phenomenal aptitude between the sheets, and against the wall, and in the car, and... But getting rid of Bill is harder than Quinn ever expected. In fact, Bill was the last person she would have thought would try to hurt her. Thank God Nick is as capable with a two-by-four as he is with an automobile engine! Jennifer Crusie's second contemporary romance is a smash--literally! You'll laugh while you're tucking the covers around you a little tighter. --Alison Trinkle
Book Description
ON A gloomy March afternoon, sitting in the same high school classroom she'd been sitting in for thirteen years, gritting her teeth as she told her significant other for the seventy-second time since they'd met that she'd be home at six because it was Wednesday and she was always home at six on Wednesdays, Quinn McKenzie lifted her eyes from the watercolor assignments on the desk in front of her and met her destiny.Her destiny was a small black dog with desperate eyes, so she missed the significance at first.She didn't miss anything else. The dog that her favorite art student held out to her was the canine equivalent of an exposed nerve: wiry black body, skinny white legs, narrow black head, all of it held together with so much tension that the poor baby shuddered with it. It looked cold and scared and hungry and anxious as it struggled in Thea's arms, and Quinn's heart broke. No animal should ever look like that."Oh." Quinn rose on the word and went toward Thea while Bill groaned and said, "Not another one.""I found it in the parking lot." Thea put the dog down on the floor in front of Quinn. "I knew you'd know what to do.""Come on, baby." Quinn crouched in front of it, not too near, not too far, and patted the floor. "Come here, sweetie. Don't be scared. It's all right now. I'll take care of you."The dog trembled even harder, jerking its head from side to side. Then it made a dash for the nearest door, which, unfortunately for it, was the storeroom."Well, that'll make it easier to trap and catch," Bill said, his tone as cheerful and sure as always. It was always a beautiful day in the neighborhood for Bill, a man who'd taken the Tibbett High football team to five consecutive championships and the baseball team to four--fifth one coming right up--almost solely, Quinn believed, by never considering the possibility of defeat. "Know where you want to be and go there," he'd tell the boys, and they would.Quinn decided she wanted to be someplace else, with a pizza, but she had to comfort this dog and get rid of Bill before she could go there. She crawled on her hands and knees to the door, trying to look nonthreatening. "Now look, dogs like me," she said in her best come-to-mama voice as the dog cowered against a carton of oaktag at the back of the narrow storeroom. "You're missing a good deal here. Really, I'm famous for this. Come on." She moved a little closer, still on her hands and knees, and the dog peeled its eyes back."I suppose you had to do this," Bill said to Thea goodnaturedly, and Quinn felt equally annoyed with him and guilty about misleading him. "No more dogs," he'd said the last time she'd rescued a stray. "You don't have to save them all." And she'd nodded at him to acknowledge that she'd heard him, and he'd taken it as agreement, and she'd let him take it that way because it was easier, no point in creating a problem she'd just have to turn around and fix.And now here she was, cheating on him with a mixed breed.She looked into the dog's eyes again. It's going to be all right. Ignore what the big blond guy says. The dog relaxed away from the box a little and looked at her with caution instead of terror in its worried little eyes. Progress. If she had another ten hours and a ham sandwich, it might even come to her on its own."You're not bringing it home with you, right?" Bill loomed behind her, cutting off the afternoon light that came dimly through the wall of windows and casting a shadow over her so that the dog shrank back again, anxious at the darkness. It wasn't Bill's fault that he was huge, but he could at least notice that he cast considerable shade wherever he went."Because we're not allowed to have dogs in our apartment." Bill's voice was patient as he went on, a teacher's voice, telling her what she already knew, guiding her to form the correct conclusion.My conclusion is that you're patronizing me. "Somebody has to rescue strays and find them homes," Quinn said without looking behind her."Exactly," Bill said. "Which is why we pay taxes to support Animal Control. Why don't I go call them-""The pound?" Thea's voice was full of horror."They don't kill them all," Bill said. "Just the sick ones."Quinn looked behind her and met Thea's disbelieving eyes. Yep, Quinn wanted to tell her, he really believes that. Instead, she patted the floor again. "Come here, baby. Come on.""Honey." Bill put his hand on her shoulder. "Come on, get up.If she shrugged his hand off her shoulder, he'd be hurt, and that wasn't fair. "I'm okay," Quinn said.Bill moved his hand, and Quinn let out a breath she didn't know she'd been holding."I'll just call-""Bill." Quinn kept her voice as friendly as she could. "Go finish in the weight room so I can do this. I'll be home at six."Bill nodded, radiating tolerance and support in spite of her illogical resistance to Animal Control. "Sure. I'll go warm up the car for you and bring it to the door first." He patted her shoulder and said, "You stay here," as if she'd been planning to follow him, and after he left, she could picture him crunching his way across the icy parking lot toward her CRX as if slipping weren't a possibility. It probably wasn't for him; Vikings loved ice, and at six foot five, two hundred and forty-three healthy blond pounds, Bill was a Viking's Viking. All of Tibbett adored Bill, a coach in a million, but Quinn was beginning to have doubts.And it was so unfair of her to have doubts. She knew he'd warm the car for her, first opening the door with his key instead of hers, which was another thing about him that bothered her, that he'd had that key cut without her permission two years ago when they'd first begun to date. But since he'd had the key cut so he could keep her gas tank filled, it was completely illogical that she should be annoyed. It was wrong to complain about a man who was unfailingly clean, generous, considerate, protective, understanding, and successful, and who'd shelled out hundreds of dollars in fossil fuel for her since 1997. Really, the dumbass was the perfect man.Quinn looked at the dog again and said, "As soon as I get you out of this storeroom, I'm taking a serious look at my love life."Thea said, "What?" but even before she finished the word, Quinn was shaking her head."Never mind. You don't have any food in that bag, do you? I know I could just go in and grab it, but it's so scared, I'd rather it came to me on its own.""Wait." Thea fished around in the huge leather bag she carried everywhere and came up with half a granola bar."Granola," Quinn said. "What the hell." She unwrapped it and broke off a piece and slid it across the floor to the dog. It shrank back and then edged forward, its little black nose quivering. "It's good," Quinn whispered, and the dog took it delicately."What a nice little dog," Thea whispered beside her, and Quinn nodded and put another piece on the floor, this one closer to them. The dog edged forward to take it, keeping its eyes on them Just in case they did anything anti-dog, big dark liquid eyes that said to Quinn, Help me, save me, fix my life."Come on, sweetie," Quinn whispered, and the dog came closer for the next piece."Almost," Thea breathed, and the dog sat down in front of them, still wary but calmer as it chewed the granola."Hi," Quinn said. "Welcome to my world."The dog tilted its head, and its little black whip of a tall began to dust the floor. It had one white eyebrow, Quinn noticed, and four white socks, and the tip of its tall was white, too, as if it had been dipped in paint."I'm going to pick you up," Quinn told it. "No fast moves." She reached out and picked it up gently as it cowered back a little, and then she sat down so she could hold it in her lap. She gave it the last of the granola, and it relaxed and chewed again as she stroked its back. "Really a sweet little dog," she told Thea and smiled for the first time since Bill had walked in the room. Another problem solved."Car's here," Bill said from the doorway, making the

Not Good.......2007-08-06
I agree with another reader - were we all reading the same book. I was really looking forward to this book. I've read other Crusie books & loved them & this book had great reviews. But I was thoroughly dissappointed - bad in every way. The plot was lame, the characters were lame....lame, lame, lame. And have I mentioned boring? I do not recommend this book. Neither do I recommend "Getting Rid of Bradley" or "Charlie All Night". But I have read a few greats by Crusie - I RECOMMEND: "Bet Me" and "Welcome to Temptation".
I don't get it..........2007-06-16
I'm always hearing such fabulous things about Jennifer Crusie. People rave about her books and eagerly anticipate new releases. And I just don't get it. This is the second book of hers I've read and I haven't liked either one. I was bored to tears with this one by page twenty. It got a little better as the story progressed, but I still couldn't wait to finish and be done with it.
The whole vibe of this book was just bizarre. The only thing I can really say that I liked about the book was the humor. Crusie does do well incorporating humor into her books, but it doesn't overcome the short points. I had problems with the story right from the start. The introduction of all the various (many) characters is poorly done. They are all just sort of plopped in there like I should already know them, and I ended up confused as hell until they were better established later.
Romance wise...so-so. There was chemistry between Nick and Quinn, but I wasn't feeling the sentimentality of it. It was just sort of like too people getting together for the heck of it and because of a long standing friendship. I had some problems with the fact that these two people were good friends for like fifteen years or however long it was...hung out, were close and all that...but only now a sudden sexual overtone pops up. That just kinda didn't work for me. And the characters overall where just very one-dimensional, with very little depth
What really killed the romance of this book, and just the story overall, was the faithlessness of everybody. It seemed like there was cheating going on left and right and nobody gave a damn. Well, they do, but not to the extent they should, and it just seemed exceedingly bizarre. I mean, one couple is having some marital problems, so the husband decides he's gonna go on a date with the town [...]. Then Nick's not sure what he wants to do about Quinn, so he dates the town [...] Another woman decides, what the heck, I'll take my husband back now that he's been dumped by the town [...]. Then Quinn's parents have some bizarre problems and her dad goes out with the town [...]. Quinn's Mom reveals she's had a long-standing sexual relationship with another woman, kicks her husband out, has her girlfriend move in, and Quinn's Dad is just like, okay whatever guess I'll go find myself a date. It was like nobody in the whole book had any respect for commitment and monogamy. I just didn't find anything pleasant or romantic about that and it drove me nuts.
In the end, I just found the book as a whole rather stupid and campy. It was like reading a cheesy soap opera with fickle, whiny woman, clueless men, and rotating romances. There was absolutely no substance to the story whatsoever. Why people act like Crusie is the next coming, I just don't know. I certainly don't plan to read any more of her books. If you like lame, very superficial beach reads, then, hey, go pick this one up. But if you like stories that have more substance, I wouldn't waste your time on this one.
You can't win 'em all, Jen.......2007-06-05
Maybe I shouldn't have read two early Crusies in a row -- "Getting Rid of Bradley" was great fun -- because "Crazy for You" almost made ME crazy! Quite dull, jumping all over the place with several different characters and a hero and heroine that were completely uninteresting. I guess what she wanted was small town charm, but it came out as big time boring.
Nick just seemed like an old hound, living in a crappy apartment, drinking beer and dating twentysomethings. If he weren't "gorgeous," would any self-respecting woman go near him?
Quinn was a dope. She had no spine and is such a wimp. I can't believe she is viciously attacked by Bill, who is clearly mentally deranged, AND SHE WAITS UNTIL THE NEXT DAY TO GO TO THE POLICE???? How dumb is that? And to hear the characters say "Oh, hell" a thousand times got real old, real fast.
Get any other book, "Bradley," "Manhunting," or "Anyone But You" if you want vintage Crusie.
This one was a dud.
Turns the usual formula upside down.......2007-03-26
In 99 out of 100 romances, Crazy Bill would be the "hero" of this book.
He is: handsome, thinks he knows what is best for the heroine, orders her around for "her own good", and is beloved by the entire town, who spend much of the book trying to get the heroine to "come back to her senses" and back to Bill.
One problem, though. Bill's a control freak and nutso to boot.
It's wonderful to read a book with a romantic heroine who knows what she wants and goes after it, instead of the usual, "must be manipulated into happiness for her own good by hero, parents, entire town" nitwit.
Same book????!!!.......2006-12-27
Are we talking about the same book? It happens to be the most boring book I have ever come across. It took me almost 3 weeks to finish it. In fact, I had to struggle to finish reading it. Very disappointing. I wonder why it's getting such good reviews.

Mother-love is profound, however a baby comes into a woman's life. For Rose Lewis, the journey to motherhood begins with a letter to Chinese officials, asking if she can adopt from the "big room with lots of other babies." The infants in that room in China are each missing a mother, but Lewis is missing something, too--a baby. She travels to China to meet her new little girl and falls head over heels in love. Taking her baby home to America, Lewis introduces her to all her family and friends, and they begin their life together.
A touching love story, I Love You Like Crazy Cakes will warm the cockles of any new parent's heart, especially those who have recently adopted a child. It's an ideal story for lap-time reading, and will inspire parents and kids to talk about their own first "meetings," whether at birth or in an adoption agency. Jane Dyer, illustrator of the bestselling Time for Bed by Mem Fox, Oh My Baby, Little One by Kathi Appelt, and many other marvelous picture books, uses a pastel palette of watercolors to capture the tender moments between the American mom and her rosy-cheeked Chinese baby. (Ages 3 to 6) --Emilie Coulter

My adopted daughter loves this book.......2007-08-21
I received this book as a post-adoption gift from a friend. With every page I read, tears came to my eyes because the author captured the key moments of the adoption parent/child bond simply and beautifully. My experience is mirrored in these pages and the illustrations are almost duplicates of my actual adoption journey photos. It helps me keep alive the wonderful memories of the adoption of my daughter from China.
It has been more than a year since I returned home with my daughter who is now 2 year old. We often read this book at bedtime and, even though she is only 2, she strongly identifies with the book. So much so, that she insists that I use her name when I'm reading about the baby in the book. She also points at the pictures of the mother in the book and relates it to me ... her mommy.
This will be a treasured book in our home forever.
Beautiful Book.......2007-08-17
I initially wrote most of this review as a comment on someone else's review. However, I noticed many other people with similar reviews and felt the need to post my review here.
As an early childhood educator, I am disturbed by the inaccuracy and insensitivity of many people's comments. People have complained that there is no father in the story. What about the millions of children in our country who don't have fathers? Shouldn't there be books that that depict their families? There are few enough books like this on the market already. Even for those kids who do have both a mother and a father... what parent would only their child to read books that depict one definition of a family? This book is perfect for opening up the discussion about how many different ways their are to make a family... birth, adoption, foster care, one parent, two parents, grandparents, etc. I think that this is especially important for adopted children to see. Theirs isn't the only kind of family that differs from the traditional 2 parents with birth child(ren) model. In fact, most American families are "different," which in effect makes us all the more alike.
As for someone's the assertion that children without a father have a "sad life"... your comment is offensive and down right biggoted. I know many happy and healthy children and adults who are the products of houses without a father. Every last one of them would be disagree your comment. Yes, fathers are important and lead a pivotal role in the lives of many children. However, they are not essential for a child to grow up happy, healthy, and productive. Many children have other people in their lives (mothers, uncles, grandfathers, brothers, friends) who fill that role as well as the best of fathers. There is actually an extensive body of research showing that children of single parents and same sex parents are as well adjusted, happy, and successful as their peers who come from homes with both a mother and father.
As for people's thoughts about the pictures depicting sadness, I respectfully disagree. I did not find these pictures at all sad, but instead quite charming. That being said, adoption is a complicated process. It is one that is filled with great joy, but also many many other strong emotions. Sadness is one of these emotions that is at some point felt by all members of the triad (adoptees, adoptive parents, and birth parents.) You would never want to dwell on sadness when talking to your children about adoption. Celebration and love should be the primary emotions expressed. However, to deny that there are or can be other emotions, such as confusion or sadness, is to do your child a great disservice (and possibly harm.) No matter how much love and care there is in your family, all adoptees at some point will have questions and a mixture of emotions about their adoption. They will wonder how and why they were placed for adoption. They will also wonder about their birth parents and probably feel sad that they were given up. This doesn't mean that they don't love you, that you aren't the world's best parent, that they wish that you weren't their parent, or love you any less. However, at some point they will realize, that before you could "choose" them and love them, someone else--another parent--had to give them away. That is a painful realization to many adoptees. When parents do not leave the door open to discussions about these sorts of topics... when they pretend that everything related to adoption is joyful... their children feel guilt and shame for having any other sort of emotions regarding their adoption. Instead of having open discussions with their parents, which can be healing and bring a parent and child closer together, these children shut their feelings away. This is traumatic for many adoptees. It is also counterproductive if you are trying to build a loving and open relationship with your child.
I applaud books such as this one. Taken at face value, they are a simple story of love and family that can be read to young children, adopted or not. However, as your child grows older, it is one that you can return to to open the door to a wide range of discussions about love, family, diversity, and adoption.
Another honest book about adoption that I recommend is Tell Me a Real Adoption Story written by an adoptee Betty Jean Lifton. Tell Me a Real Adoption Story
Likeable, good for small adoptees..........2007-07-25
This book was a good introduction for my children to the idea that they were born elsewhere and were cared for by others when they were new to the world. One of mine used to mimic one illustration where it kind of looks like the baby has her hand/fist up to her mouth. Good story with great airplane illustrations for kids! The story is touching for Moms, but I have always felt that it overlooked Dads and Dads' joy. I can understand why the author did it this way, but perhaps she should insert an encouraging prologue. As we turn the pages and dialogue is prompted to refresh our own story, I include details of Dad carrying my babies, and how each of them was unwilling to let go.
Daughter loves this book!.......2007-07-18
My 8-yr. old daughter loves this book and I do too! Gives us a great jumping-off point to talk about our own family adoption story!

You Mean I'm Not Crazy!.......2007-04-11
This book was so helpful that I passed it on to a friend. I have actually used advice suggested by the author and my life with my mom has improved significantly. It truly helped in that my mother has to break the apron strings and I have to take the responsiblity to grow up. If nothing else, this book puts boundaries in perspective. I am normally reserved about self-help books, but as a practicing mental health professional, this one will become one of my more recommended to clients.

I'm writing a review even though I haven't completely finished reading the book in case my review helps someone else. This book is very helpful. The author doesn't mention a lot of pscyhological terms but rather tries to help you understand why you mother is doing what she is doing and provides you with tips on how to balance the relationship so you are not constantly stressed and discouraged. She encourages you not to "divorce" your mom like some would say but tells you to think about what you want out of the relationship and then work to that goal, often by finding some common ground that you can stand on to related to your mother.
I'm sort of in the midst of some major issues with my mother (again) and the one thing I am struggling with are feeling of guilt and isolation and the "why me" mindset as it relates to my mother. Wondering why I can't have a good relationship with my mother like I see other women have with their mothers. I feel further isolated since I don't have a sister or an aunt and my grandmother has passed so there's not even another woman in my family that I can share my feelings with to help me feel better. This book provides lots of examples that help you realize you are not alone and that it is possible to not be super close to your mother and still be a good person.
There is one thing I struggled with that the author says. She says that your mother isn't out to hurt you and she even pointed to examples of child abuse and extreme cases where mothers have killed their children and she still says that those mothers weren't out to hurt their children and that their actions were about their issues and so forth (please read the book for the exact wording on this topic). Anyway I disagreed with that because I think sometimes mothers can wish to hurt their children, consiously and unconsciously I think sometimes mothers are jealous, resentful, unhappy with their own lives and just mean and that they do want to hurt their children. Do I think they may regret it after the fallout of their actions? Yes. Do I think they also have times or moments where they love their children? Yes. But I just felt like when the author said they don't want to hurt you it was almost excusing the behavior and saying that your mother really loves you no matter what and that any bad thing is really not to hurt you and I just don't think I believe that...but that is my opinion.
Let me say again that the book is wonderful and offers great insight in dealing with a problem that can make you feel very sad and lonely. It's worth it if you are having an issue...perhaps you can find some peace in the pages of this book.
I have read many mother/daughter books.......2006-07-09
but this one is the best so far, even topping Deborah Tannen's helpful one ("You're Wearing That?"). What I especially found so helpful about this book is that it isn't laden with anecdotes. Instead Denise McGregor has insightful explanations for mothers' motivations, daughters' responses, and how to understand and heal these areas. She also has a deeply spiritual ( not religious) undertone that I found very calming and peaceful. Denise is an excellent writer and knows how to explain even the most complicated issues in such a way that I felt I could understand my relationship with my mom in a whole new way. For so many years I felt alone, and that I was the only one feeling so much guilt when it came to my mom, and Denise's book is so enlightening. I realize that not only am I not a freak but that it is a really common issue with most mothers and daughters, and Denise offers beautiful, excellent advice on how to deal positively and release guilt.
I can not stress how great this book is. Like I said, I have read many many many, and now I feel like this is it. I do not have to read any more mother daughter books ever again. This one book has set me on the road to healing and improving my relationship with my mom. I hope it can help you too.
A great resource for daughters AND their mothers.......1999-05-11
This book provided a lot of helpful information for mending estranged mother-daughter relationships. It also offers suggestions for improving existing relationships. Mother-daughter relationships are very complicated and the guidelines outlined in Ms. McGregor's book assist with shaping the relationship into something that is appreciated by both the mother and the daughter.
Every Mother and Daughter should read this book!!.......1999-02-05
What an incredible source of inspiration!! I had the great pleasure to attend one of Ms. McGregor's seminars and found her not only to be a warm and caring person but a tremendous source of strength and knowledge that has helped me mend my relationship with my mother. Mama Drama is a must have in any household!! For you men out there, if you care about the women in your lives, make the emotional investment and get a copy for your mothers, sisters, daughters and wives! An absolute winner!! Thank you Denise for changing my life!!

Customer Reviews:
The only book you need..........2007-07-05
If you are navigating the gut-wrenching terrain of shared custody with a difficult ex-spouse, this is the only book you will need. A truly life-changing and empowering read--and a welcome reminder that while we may not be able to change other people, we can always work on ourselves. Filled with beneficial exercises and practical solutions to common problems, this book IMMEDIATELY improved my attitude with regard to my ex-spouse, and while we still have a ways to go at acheiving peace, this book gave me the tools I need to be part of the solution, rather than part of the problem. Highly recommended.
custody chaos, PERSONAL PEACE.......2005-06-09
I teach a coparenting through and after divorce class so I have purchase several books on coparenting and been disappointed by the same information regurgitated by different authors. This book, while it offers the same basic skills as others, provides a unique perspective that if utilized can lead to personal peace. I imagine it can be difficult for some to read because there is a heavy focus on accepting responsibility for your own thoughts, feelings, and actions and changing your own outlook and behavior to obtain personal peace,(which in turn leads to a more peaceful relationship with your coparent.) The book also asks that you learn to view your coparent differently, as a human being who makes mistakes, but is probably doing the best they can, even providing exercises on forgiveness which could be hard to handle if you have not let go of anger. The book is easy to read, provides real life examples, and summarizes the points to remember at the end of each chapter. Overall, it is a great book I recommend to everybody who attends my classes.
Change your ex!.......2002-01-10
Well you may not be able to change them but...This practical, common sense guide offers communication techniques that will not only help you deal with a difficult ex-husband or ex wife, but also teaches you how to examine your own role in these sticky situations. This book offered useful advice on how to be civil when the other party is not. This book helps you communicate effectively and stay in control of yourself and your situation. If for no other reason you can learn how to minimize the conflicts between you and your ex that affect your children. This book allows you to put your children's needs first.
An excellent tool for divorced and divorcing parents.......2001-12-26
I have made this book required reading for my divorce and mediation clients. Dr. Wittmann provides simple, direct strategies which allow struggling parents to focus on what is truly important....raising healthy, well adjusted children. Mediators and divorce attorneys would be doing thier clients a great service by recommending this book!
No New News.......2001-11-29
I was disappointed by this book. It held very little new information that I haven't already read in other books. I ordered it, looked through it reading a few pages in each chapter and then decided to return it. It's possible that there are redeeming factors but if so, I didn't happen to read those parts.

Book Description
Fred Thompson begins with a comprehensive chapter on the basics, describing every type of crab available, how to buy it, how to clean it, and how to cook it and crack it. Then comes all the glorious recipes you could ever want to make with crab.
Customer Reviews:
The School of Crab Cooking.......2005-03-22
This book takes all of the fear out of cooking with crab. Fred explains step by step everything I needed to know to select crab, cook it, and use it in recipes.
I hosted a Crazy for Crab Dinner with every course a recipe from this book. The Crab Bisque is creamy heaven, the Crab Salad on spring greens is easy and delicious, and most of all the Pretty Darn Close to Perfect Crab Cakes is easier than I expected to make and everyone says they are the best they have ever tasted. The book even has a great Key Lime Pie for the grand finale. I will make all these recipes again and again.
You will be happy to have this book and will want to try all of the recipes!
Leaves no crab uncooked.......2004-09-16
Fred Thompson's Crazy For Crab deserves ongoing recommendation as a lovely survey of different types of crab and how they can be easily prepared at home. From Soft Shell Crabs with Warm Tomato/Bacon Vinaigrette to Pumpkin Crab Soup, Thompson's Crazy For Crab leaves no crab uncooked.
Gorgeous and Drool Inducing!.......2004-06-27
In what can only be considered a "love note" to all things crab, Fred Thompson has created an absolutely definitive guide for crab lovers everywhere. Beginning with what he calls "The Crab Basics", a discussion of the types of crab available as well as the various methods for selecting and storing crab products, and ending with a list of crab festivals around the country, "Crazy for Crab" offers something for even the most casual of crab fans.
With twelve recipes for crab cakes alone (ranging from the basic to the very fancy - tarragon aioli anyone?), Thompson has more than covered the territory. Included are soup and appetizer recipes, as well as many for salads and casseroles. The level of involvement and difficulty for the recipes ranges from the very simple to the relatively complex and for every recipe the likes of Crab Imperial (that is, well known and fairly easy to track down) he includes another for a dish altogether more exotic and modern tasting - Thai crab cakes with chili-garlic sauce, for example
From the everyday to the sublime, Thompson has covered it all. Augmented with discussions and recipes for bay seasoning and homemade tartar sauce, this comprehensive work is recommended for anyone who enjoys these sweet gifts from the sea.
Crab Lovers UNITE !.......2004-05-21
This is an excellent cookbook on cooking crabs and things to go with them! If you ever traveled to Baltimore, MD... One of the things that usually got you was you could not find a DEFINITIVE cookbook on crabs... This book seems to be the ONE! Now if I could only just get a way to have more crabs coming to Nashville.... A wonderful cookbook! If you love crabs-why are you still reading this? Buy the Book, already!

Janet and Greta Podleski, also known as The Looneyspoons Sisters, are the high-energy authors of the low-fat cookbook Looneyspoons and its follow-up, Crazy Plates. But to call these sisters cookbook authors may be a misnomer: they're more like a wacky comedy team touring Hoboken doing the low-fat-zealot routine for admiring audiences.
No, Crazy Plates is not just about low-fat recipes. There's much, much more here, including fat facts (a pound of body fat--representative of 3,500 calories--if shaped into a ball, would be the size of a softball and equal four sticks of butter), "Trivial Tidbits" (baking soda used to be added to the water for boiling vegetables until it was discovered that it destroyed the veggies' vitamin C), "You Do the Math" (substituting Canadian bacon for the regular high-fat stuff once a week for a year will cut your fat intake by 1,196 grams), and a lot of corny humor ("Did you hear what happened to the peanut when he walked through the park? He was a salted"). Then there are the recipes--accompanied, of course, by cartoons--like Salmon Davis Jr., broiled salmon steaks in a spicy tomato sauce; Mercedes Buns, cinnamon rolls with less than three grams of fat per serving; My Yammi Spice, oven-baked fries with cumin, paprika, and oregano; and Berry Maniloaf, a lemon and raspberry bread loaf with 161 calories per slice.
The recipes are well laid out, not time-consuming, aimed at the home cook with a family to feed, and will please the palate of those wanting gourmet fare without the fat. But how do the Podleski sisters accomplish this rare feat? Spices are an essential ingredient of many dishes: Name That Tuna Salad, for example, gets its character from basil, mint, garlic, and Dijon mustard--with no help from that scary sidekick, mayo! This is a book for anyone who wants to cut back on fat without losing flavor, and for those that like a little slapstick with their flapjacks (Peter Pancakes, with bananas and strawberry sauce). --Stefanie Durbin

Customer Reviews:
Crazy Plates.......2007-01-28
I loved this cookbook so much that I bought Looney Spoons also! I haven't tried even one recipe that I don't like! And I love the witty remarks - they almost make me feel like cooking isn't such a drudgery after all. I even bought both books as a Christmas present for my daughter who is is newly married and just beginning to cook. She and her husband love the recipes, and he is VERY picky. My only negative comment is that Looney Spoons seems to only be available "used". When I received my copy, I didn't particularly like getting a cookbook (which was supposed to be in very good condition!) with someone else's cooking smears all over it! Yuck!
Some good recipes, but terminal case of "the cutes".......2006-06-04
As with their previous book, I suggest you borrow this book from the library before buying it. You will either like their style of writing or you won't.
This one is laid out in the same busy/distracting style, with again, lots of "cute" names for recipes. I found it annoying to read, but your children might think it lots of fun.
And, transfer the recipes you like onto recipe cards rather than trying to work with the book.
CHICKEN FAJITA SALAD - BUY THE BOOK JUST FOR THIS!.......2006-06-01
I just received CRAZY PLATES and made the chicken fajita salad for Memorial Day. While putting this salad together I was beginning to have my doubts. But fear not, this is a fantastic tasting salad and I definately plan on making it again.
I am so encouranged by this recipe and this books great reviews that I have also purchased Looneyspoons and have pre-ordered Eat Shrink and be Merry.
I am a former Weight Watcher and just recently quit NutriSystem (I hit a plateau and was tired of their food). I have gone back to using the Weight Watcher's plan and will incorporate the appetizing recipes from these books to keep me on track.
great food with good size portions.......2006-03-07
I'm on weight watchers and I like the weight watcher's take out tonight book but I feel the portions are just a touch small, this book however is great. The taste is good and you will actually get full plus another thing I like about the book its that it not a bunch of non fat ingredients like non fat cheese or sour cream etc... I also like that the entire book uses the same spices so you do not have to run out and buy a bunch of different spices. I've only had to purchase coriander. Plus it gives you a whole bunch of little tips and inspirations on every page. Out of the 9 low fat or weight watchers cookbooks that I own this one is by far the best.
I have never written a review, but..........2005-12-14
this book is so easy to use and the recipes are so delicious that I am compelled to include my feedback. As someone who is not a superstar in the kitchen, when I use these recipes, I feel that I make a unique and healthy meal for my family that is always well-received. What strikes me the most about this book is that a majority of the main dish recipes include all the food groups. I have found that most of the time, the kids do not even know that they are eating vegetables. By the way, I think "Crazy Plates" is MUCH better than "Looney Spoons."
Book Description
Advice about starting a business never sounded like this! Beginning with ""must be crazy,"" serial entrepreneur and angel investor Barry Moltz offers the true insider's scoop on new business start-ups. With doses of irreverence and humor, the return-to-basics guide focuses on what comes before the bottom line. Addressing passion-the ultimate entrepreneurial fuel-relationships, failure, and authenticity, Moltz incorporates stories from his entrepreneurial colleagues and shows what it takes to integrate personal and professional life to achieve the highest satisfaction.
Moltz describes the ups and downs and emotional trials of running a start-up business and invites readers to let go of the myths and expectations that can hamstring them emoitionally while getting their businesses up and running. In a helpful, heartfelt, and often humorous way, Moltz reassures entrepreneurs that they are not alone-whatever their form of craziness-and that they can retain self-worth and sanity as they ride the start-up roller coaster.
Showcasing the varieties of new venture craziness, entrepreneurs at all ages and stages in their business-building processes will realize they too can succeed. Jolts of passionate entrepreneurial wisdom energize these anecdotes, with such ideas as:
* People-not capital-are the true currency.
* Passion keeps everything going.
* Relationships and authenticity are the drivers in this business climate.
* There is no perfect idea and no magic bullet.
* Don't expect your path to be a straight line.
Incorporating lessons from the boom and bust 1990s, the realignment of business and personal values in the wake of terrorism, and proven ways to nurture the human dimension in business, these are voices to help all business owners find and trust their own entrepreneurial passions. After all, says the author, ""The worst they can do is eat you!""
Customer Reviews:
Do you want real-world insight into what you will experience as an entrepreneur?.......2007-05-13
This is a one-of-a-kind book that provides an emotional look into the world of the entrepreneur. The book delivers key insights into how to approach certain situations, but more importantly it delves into the trials and tribulations of being an entrepreneur like no other book available. For current entrepreneurs, Barry's book reads like a conversation with a businessess confident who has experienced exactly what you are currently going through and what you have experienced as an entrepreneur. For anyone considering the start of a new business, this is the only book I have found that can prepare you for the emotional roller coaster that you may encounter. This is a must for any business book library.
Good-humored guide to business start-ups.......2007-01-24
Author Barry J. Moltz is not a brilliant business strategist. He does not intend to propose a set of holy rules that, if followed, will ensure that your new enterprise is a roaring success. Indeed, one of his primary messages is that new businesses fail so routinely that only someone crazy would consider opening one. If that's you, think of Moltz as a revered mentor who has successfully negotiated several start-ups of his own, and has volunteered to talk to you about what opening your own business will entail. He discusses the character traits you need to make a successful go of things, how to deal with partners and employees, and the best ways to win customers and clients. While Moltz scatter-shots his concepts and points, we endorse his good-humored book, nevertheless, as a worthwhile guide. It offers numerous valuable lessons from a seasoned veteran on what starting a new business really entails. Consider yourself warned.
It's Not Crazy to Love This Book.......2006-06-07
Would it be valuable if you could sit down with a friend and listen to him as he described being an entrepreneur in great detail? What if he introduced you to other people who had been through similar experiences? How about if he described the emotional rollercoaster of starting, nurturing and then selling your business? Would this be important information?
If you have answered "yes" to any of these questions, you should read, You Need to Be a Little Crazy by Barry Moltz.
Barry's book is like having a conversation with a friend. The reader experiences the emotions that come with risking everything to control your own destiny.
This is not a check list book that offers theoretical advice. It's written the way the entrepreneur lives life - by the seat of his pants. The value comes from actually feeling what it's like to be in the middle of the uncertainty associated with the entrepreneurial lifestyle.
I find that the best learning comes from listening to other people and trying to put myself in their shoes. I like to think about what decisions I would make when they describe the problems that arise. I think about the potential impact of the decisions and how I would feel as I make them. "Crazy" gives you the opportunity to do just that.
Meet and greet.......2006-05-10
The only thing better than reading Barry's book is hearing him speak. Check out his web site for his tour schedule and go see him when you get the chance.
Moltz tells it like it is whether you want to hear it or not..........2005-08-14
Too many business books written these days focus on the positives of running a business ninety percent of the time and gloss over the negatives with the remaining ten percent of the book content...not Moltz. He is so candid and dead-on accurate with his observations/advice it will make you wince at times. If you still want to go into business for yourself after reading this book then you are either very prepared to do so...and/or a little bit crazy.
