Review title: Pathetic Product review: If possible I would give it zero stars. It has no literary value, is cheaply published, and is a poorly and thinly veiled attempt to proselytize and convert. I write only because I find it ironic, actually amusing, that Mr. Roth has titled the book, more like a pamphlet, of stories which we are to presume are true, "They Thought for Themselves". Perhaps the people revealed in the book did deliberate before accepting Jesus, although I would prefer to believe they substituted one dogmatic set of rules for another and accepted the relief of not having to reflect again; but anyone who finds this writing in the least inspirational is incapable of thinking at all.

Review title: Repetitive stories Product review: The text as written certainly succeeds with many. In my case, I got the message after 3 or 4 repeats of the 'growth mindset can do it' theme. As story after story repeats the same theme, which is a good message, I began wondering when some background exploration would begin. It never happened.I've read other works by Dweck. She plays the role of editor in the recent "Handbook of Competence and Motivation" (in this book the two mindsets are called 'fixed' and 'incremental'). It is very academic and technical, but a treasure trove of insights. I liked it so much I'm going through it again with a fine tooth comb. I'd check Mindsets out at a bookstore or library. If you find yourself wanting more, take a look at Dweck's other books.

Review title: This makes sense and it works Product review: This is the first book on dieting that I have actually ever read past the third page. I read it from cover to cover in one sitting. Not only does the information make perfect sense, it works. I went from a size 10 to a size 4 in three months and I even cheated a little. I had started reading other information on low-carb diets, but most of it was so strict, I don't know how anyone with a family could stick to them. I am a true believer in this balanced way of low-carb eating. I have purchased about 10 of these books just to give out to friends. If you are serious about changing your eating habits permanently and maintaining your desired weight, this is a perfect place to start.
