Review: World Regional Geography

World Regional Geography by Douglas L. Johnson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really thought this book was fabulous! I know it’s a text book and required reading. But I found it informative, engaging, and fascinating! It was so fun learning more about cultures,economics, governments, historical data, landmarks, climates, industries, cultural attributes, you name it. I thought that the book was thorough and comprehensive in teaching. I felt that much of the focus had a lot to do with sociology and cultures played into the natural landscapes of the world and how we were able to effectively or ineffectively trade, grow and develop. I found myself constantly preferring to read my text book than my fluff books, and I feel that says a lot about how well this book was written! Highly recommend to everyone. I know it took a long time to finish. It was quite comprehensive, and I tested out of the class. As soon as I finished this class my reading changed to my next class and had to refocus my efforts in finishing the two textbooks allocated to that class instead. Again, fascinating read, even if it’s not for school!

Review: Business Ethics 2009 Update: Ethical Decision Making and Cases

Business Ethics 2009 Update: Ethical Decision Making and Cases by O.C. Ferrell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoy my text books! I don’t know if there was a big movement to improve the required reading material for higher education, or if it just progressed with time, or I’m just more interested… Regardless I’m not complaining! I though the book was set up very well and held my interest, provided great points, learning objectives and offers a great applicable case studies that help you more fully understand the points.

Review: Ensign – June 2013

Ensign – June 2013 by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I honestly love the fact that we have The Ensign available to us!! It never ceases to amaze me how each month it’s filled with articles that I swear, were written just for me! In addition its material is not always applicable to me, but also put forth in such a manner that I am able to internalize the doctrine greater. Resulting in feeling closer to the Lord and the Gospel. 🙂

Review: One Big Thing: Discovering What You Were Born to Do

One Big Thing: Discovering What You Were Born to Do by Phil Cooke
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I’m grateful that I found this book when I did…. Has it changed my life drastically? No, but it did help pull me out of the rut I was falling into. I’d been working in a position that was very unhealthy for me and was slowing killing my spirit and self-belief. I’ve always felt that my life has great purpose and design, that my presence here needs to make a difference on the world… even if it’s just with one or two individuals, ultimately through service. I think more than anything this helped remind me of that and my individual worth. I was surprised but not upset to find many Christian references, beliefs and scriptures. That helped remind me. The book was interesting and flowed well. I felt like there were a few repetitive points, but also felt like I needed to hear them again, so I didn’t mind so much.

A few years ago my path became clouded and I’ve felt like I’ve not been progressing towards my greater purpose. My career fell. My marriage crumbled. My dreams and goals seemed further off than ever before. For the past four years, I’ve moved from job to job doing what I had to. While I still don’t have my dream job I’m moving closer and happier with what I do, thanks to Mr. Cooke’s recommendation – found the purpose I serve in this position and how I serve the greater good for now… Just you wait – someday – I’ll make that difference! Or rather, BE that difference!

One last thing, a dear friend told me many years ago, that “A true friend is the one who knows the song of your heart, and sings it back to you when you have forgotten.” For me that is what this book ultimately felt like.

Thank you!

Review: The Legal and Ethical Environment of Business

The Legal and Ethical Environment of Business by Terence Lau
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Really fascinating! Again, I’m grateful that the books I’m required to read for my degree are actually interesting. I continually find myself putting down the other books I’m reading or listening to so that I can go back to these. They are easy to understand, very logical and straight forward. The wording is strangely captivating as well as their application stories. The books are concise and do not ramble on saying the same thing over and over. They teach you what you need to know, in a manner that sticks and moves on. Highly recommend for all.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

How grateful that my required reading for my degree is actually interesting! It was an easy text book read and most informative! I wish I would have had access to this a few months ago before I started learning about business insurances and shopping for the company I work for! Great help. If you are searching for Business Insurance start here, it will give you a great basis and help you not feel and sound like an idiot.
