Amazed.......2007-10-17

I was and still am amazed at how doing the little things suggested in this book have made my life EASIER! It isn't anything profound, but it is written in a way that is encouraging and motivating!

love it!!!!.......2007-10-11

I like her no nonsense help. I haven't even followed all her instructions yet because I'm a real hard case but even with just the begining steps my husband and family are noticeing a difference in my home already. I'm so glad I bought this book I can't wait to get her other books as well.

Fun but a little too compulsive........2007-10-04

I bought this for my daughter, to help her with her house, life, and anything else. I didn't want her to be insulted, so I read it and told her I bought it for me but thought she might like it too. It started out great, great ideas, funny, fun. But it got a little too over the edge....compulsive...neat freakish towards the end. I told my daughter to try to incorporate SOME of the Flylady's tips into her routine. She hasn't read it yet, but I'm hoping she learns something from it, because she is a very disorganized person. It seemed there were some discrepancies in the book about her life, which makes you feel she's making all of this up to make money, not to share her experience. Hopefully my daughter doesn't catch on to some of it.

Sink Reflections - Flylady - book.......2007-09-25

I loved this book and think it had great motivational ideas. Hopefully it will keep me encouraged to get organized and learn to FLY.

Boy do I need this book!!.......2007-09-13

I am starting to FLY, babysteps, but it is a beginning. It is way too fun! Can't wait to get on the live blog.

Book Description

The Biggest Loser was NBCs surprise hit of the Fall 2004 television season, drawing a passionate audience and prompting people nationwide to start their own Biggest Loser competitions. This unscripted weight-loss drama was based on overweight contestants competing to lose weight and win a quarter of a million dollars with the help of a team of doctors, dietitians, and trainers Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels. On the evening that the first seasons finale aired, legions of fans went to the NBC Web site to look for the diet and fitness plan that the contestants used. It wasnt available to the publicuntil now. With this book, people looking for change can accomplish the same type of radical makeover of their bodies, their health, and their lives that they saw on The Biggest Loser. The book features the food and fitness plans from Bob and Jillian, health advice from the shows medical experts, and motivational tips from the contestants themselves. The contestants compelling stories and reasons for losing weight, dramatic before-and-after photos, and real-life advice provide the inspiration and upbeat attitude that made this show a smash hit.

Customer Reviews:

Biggest loser book.......2007-10-10

Book was very informational and inspirering. The food plan and the exercise plan was very easy to follow. It also helped reading about the biggest losers from season 1 & 2. What helped them, their tips on eating and exercising. Also getting tips from the trainers was helpful.

As good as the TV show.......2007-09-21

"The Biggest Loser" diet suggests limiting your daily calorie intake to seven times your body weight (measured in pounds). For a 200 pound person that means 1400 calories a day. This might be OK for an average weight but I am not sure if the formula is proper for very heavy or very light people. So, from that point of view I find this book not very scientific. On the other hand the exercise plan suggested in the book is pretty reasonable. There are also a lot of other good advice that will help you take a long term control of you weight and will result in a good health: stay away from sugar (except for natural sugars contained in fruits), eat salad before each meal, exercise, and so on. For much more comprehensive advice on adopting healthy lifestyle, resulting in permanent weight loss I rather recommend "Can We Live 150 Year?" by M. Tombak. A lot of free excerpts from Tombak's book can be found at the author's website.

Great Book.......2007-09-13

I love this book because all the recipes are so easy and a lot of them are not time consuming. I like the fact that the book has a lot of simple snack and appetizer recipes.

Fantastic.......2007-09-11

I have the whole series and am giving them as Christmas presents to all my friends that watch the show. I gave one for a Birthday present and she is thrilled, we can all get motivated and loose the weight. Love It!

Great Book!.......2007-07-19

I have found this book to be great! It is a simple plan to follow and very adaptable. The first day, although I was worried I'd be hungry, I felt full and content. I am enjoying this new way of eating. I was inspired because a friend of mine was on last season's show and he lost a lot of weight and to this day looks great!

Practical Techniques for Change.......2007-04-10

I expected much more from this book , however there were some very practical techniques that were useful for living successfully.

Life change made possible.......2007-01-31

I started to use a review title of "Life change made easy", but that just wouldn't be true really. You still have to work at it if you want to change your life. However, I did find this book to be both interesting and useful. It was interesting as it provided a different perspective on change than I had previously encountered and it was useful because you could actually try the different techniques to see if they work.

The author's use of imagining is very powerful and can be done with the book, however, you will probably have to read through the imaginations multiple times before you can actually do it effectively. When you can go through the process without interruption (to read the next step), you'll be amazed at how it impacts your sense of being.

I enjoyed the book and hope you will too.

This book does not contain a CD.......2007-01-24

I ordered this book because I mistakenly thought it was the hardcover version of Paul McKenna's "Change Your Life in Seven Days" paperback published by Bantam Press. The paperback and hardcover may contain the same text (both are 256 pages), but only the paperback version contains an audio CD. This harcover version does not contain a CD, but shows you where to download the audio online.

Other than being miffed that I didn't get a CD with this hardcover, I am a big fan of Paul McKenna. His audio trances really work for me.

Make your own mind up.......2006-08-03

Pay no attention to the vitriol of the english reviewer below. McKenna won his court case against claims that he knowingly bought his doctorate from a disreputable university. He also won a previous case brought against him. And if you have Sky TV, he is on TV over the last year with shows about confidence, fat loss etc. His reputation in the UK is pretty good.

A good read from a great motivator.......2006-07-31

I enjoyed reading this book McKenna is great at motivating you to change your life and provides very common sense approaches working on you from the inside. It is not a great book that will radically change your life but it is a good book with good advice, it is a mixture of cognitive psychology and self hypnosis. Here are a couple of great quotes from the book:

The changes that matter most are more often changes in perception than changes in the world outside us. And we can change the way we perceive in a heartbeat.

Your experience of life is primarily affected by the perspective you view it from. Depending upon the meaning we give to situations or events,we will feel and behave differently.

If you like these quotes and you think thinking this way will help you buy the book. If you think this is common sense search else where.

Book Description

It's a sad fact: 90% of all heart disease goes undetected until heart attack strikes.

An annual physical won't uncover it, you may feel great, exercise and eat intelligently, your LDL cholesterol may be 92 or 192--it makes little difference. Then how can you predict your heart's future? Do you need a crystal ball?

Well, you don't have a crystal ball. But you have the next best thing: Track Your Plaque, the program that shows you how to use the new heart scans to measure and control coronary plaque. Coronary plaque is heart disease that leads to heart attack. If you know you have hidden coronary plaque and how much, you have the power to take control of your heart health future. Quantifying the amount of plaque you have is the most powerful measure available to predict future heart attack, far better than knowing your cholesterol.

The revolutionary program that shows you how to begin to take control of your heart's future now!

Track Your Plaque is a 3-step program that shows how you can:

1) Detect and measure coronary plaque easily and inexpensively

2) Identify the causes of your coronary plaque with methods that go far beyond simple-minded cholesterol measures

3) Effectively treat the causes and gain control of your plaque

Track Your Plaque reaches farther than any other available program and can provide life-changing information to seize control of your future.

The single best resource for taking charge of your heart health.......2007-04-08

This book and its author are at the forefront of a revolution in heart health care. It contains an incredibly extensive and thorough discussion of the state of the art of preventive cardiology as of 2004, when it was written. (The author maintains a web site with even more up-to-date information as well as a blog with almost daily postings on new developments.) Most of the explanation and advice is still way ahead of the way cardiology practitioners interact with patients today in most major medical centers.

The book is written in plain English and an engaging style, and makes the technical concepts easily understood, even to people (like me) with no medical background.

The author advocates the use of non-invasive, low-radiation, widely available heart scans to determine the extent of coronary plaque. If plaque is found, he next explains the use of new cholesterol tests that analyze cholesterol in more detail than standard tests. Finally, he explains what to do to correct the abnormalities the detailed analysis may uncover.

The book will be of most interest to people who are willing to take control of their health and who may even be willing to challenge their doctors to catch up with recent advances in the diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery disease. The book is bluntly critical of the traditional cardiology strategies employed today in most hospitals and cardiology practices. As noted by another reviewer, he does advocate taking some supplements, but also tells you which supplements he thinks are worthless, based on reviews of numerous studies and his own experience treating hundreds of patients.

I found this book in my post-stent implant procedure investigation of the state of the art in heart disease treatment (I'm 50 years old). I wish I had found it and read it years earlier. I might have avoided having had the stent implanted to begin with. Thankfully, it's not too late to start applying the strategies he advocates.

If you want to see the future of preventive heart medicine today, explained in understandable, practical terms and concepts, this is the book to get.

Too many pills.......2007-03-17

While I found a lot of interesting things in this book, many of which I agree with, the "cure" is almost worse than the disease: taking a zillion vitamins and supplements every day.

I didn't try to figure it all out, but if you followed his recommendations it seems like you would have little time for anything beyond pill popping. And the cost? Yikes.

Save your own life.......2006-11-26

I have not read the book, but I know of what it speaks.

My doctor refused to think any symptoms I had could be heart disease, including light chest pain and shortness of breath that suddenly appeared during exercise. I looked too "fit and slim". Did not smoke or drink, ate healthy. Exercised regularly.

I managed to get approval for an echo stress test after 4 months. I had a swollen and infected mitral valve. 1 year on exercise rehab later, I was fine.

Two years later, I had a strained mitral valve. ANOTHER year of exercise rehab.

Then the near big one. On vacation, I had massive angina, but no heart attacks. A cooperative family doctor in NICARAGUA, of all places, immediately put me on Lopressor and gave me nitoglycerin tablets. Two more days of trouble with little improvement, and we headed to the capital, and more tests. Nothing invasive, more medication.

We had to stay another week so I could fly with some level of safety. We returned to the US and had an angiogram. 99% blocked coronary arteries, but good collateral circulation. I was scheduled for immediate bypass surgery the following day. The DOCTORS were scared for me. Some strangers came to see "The Miracle Man" (not a lot, but a few). Many medical people said it was a near miracle I was alive, let alone went on vacation, had a fairly normal life the previous 4 years, and walked in the ER to announce I had unstable angina.

My regular doctor, who thought I could have no heart disease, was flat out wrong. He nearly got me killed, when a scan 4 years earlier would have let them detect the problems and use other intervention techniques besides cutting my chest open.

Learn about scans. Have one periodically. If clear, you can wait longer before the next one.

Now go eat your fruits and vegies, cut down the meat, fats, and transfat products, watch those fatty desserts, don't stress, and enjoy a long and healthy life.

Most intelligent book on coronary heart diseas.......2006-06-17

Dr. Davis has written the most intelligent and easy to understand book on coronary artery disease that I have ever read. This book answered all the questions I had about coronary artery disease that I had been seeking for many years. Even as a nurse educator and lecturer on the topic, I had only a superficial understanding of the multiple causes and treatments. The information in the book is revolutionary, cutting edge medical treatment that most physicians aren't even aware of.

If you only read one book in the pursuit of heart health...this is the one!.......2005-08-30

Finally a cutting edge book that answers all the questions your doctor or cardiologist either didn't have the time to tell you in a short office visit, or much more likely had no idea about themselves. I had ordered about a dozen different books on heart disease from Amazon before I got to this gem. Certainly a long road to get here, but I probably wouldn't have appreciated this book as much until I read all the others!

This book ties everything together, the correct diet, supplements, exercise, prescription drugs, and explains everything so it is easy to understand and why each are important to your lipid makeup, plaque deposition potential, and the health of your endothelium (I never even knew what this was before).

In the two months I have been following the recommendations outlined by Dr. Davis I have lost over 20lbs and have much more energy and mental focus. My blood pressure has gone down (even while exercising) and I am able to exercise much longer and more intensely. Most importantly my good protective HDL cholesterol has gone up 25% in two short months!

People with active heart disease or family risk factors need to read this rather than living with the uncertainty of what their future will hold for them. Believe me when I tell you, I understand the feeling of not knowing everyday when I awoke if the "ticking time bomb" was going to go off soon. Get educated and pro-active in your heart health. This is the perfect book and starting point. I was finally frightened enough to research the topic and stick with the solution. You can too!

Book Description

Longing for a kinder, gentler world? As the old saying goes, everything begins at home, and odds are, if you live in the all-American household, the air inside is more toxic than the air outside, even if you live in the most polluted of cities. You regularly handle the filthiest object in your home -- the kitchen sponge -- and put the same chemicals on your face that are used in brake fluid and antifreeze.

The cleaning agents and personal care products commonly marketed to and used in American homes contain not only some very dangerous, toxic chemicals, but they also create an "overly clean," chemically bombed-out house that compromises immune systems. And with more than fifty million Americans suffering from allergies and other autoimmune diseases -- not to mention the developing and fragile immune systems of children and seniors -- large numbers of people are actually being made sicker and sicker by their homes.

Learn to live a clean, healthy, more economical way with Ellen Sandbeck, the nontoxic avenger. In this must-have book for the twenty-first- century home, this passionate, witty advocate of all things organic will teach you how to maintain every part of the home -- from living room to septic tank, kitchen floor to bathroom sink -- using safe, simple cleansers and quick preventative measures as well as the most effective organic products on the market to get the job done.

Learn time-saving, preventative housekeeping, such as taking thirty seconds to clean the shower while you shower. Take care of bathroom stains with baking soda and vinegar rather than commercial, toxic bathroom "bombs" peddled to you with such force by manufacturers. Need whiter whites? There is no bleaching power on earth stronger than the sun. Snow clean your fine rugs. Choose fruits and vegetables from the relatively pesticide residue-free list. Clean felt-tipped pen stains with vodka. Make furniture shine with olive oil and lemon. Your house will also smell as great as it looks.

This Book Is Awesome.......2007-08-22

I saw this book at a bookstore and rushed home to Amazon to get it. :) It is a great reference for housekeeping. I couldn't believe all the things you can do with random household products. Like baking soda... Awesome!

Fun to read, Great reference.......2007-08-03

In many ways, this is a good Organic Living 101 book. I received this book as a Christmas gift and wasn't sure what to think at first. I was pleasantly surprised. This book has not only been enjoyable to read but has become a valuable reference as well. Lately, whenever I've had a question regarding safe cleaning or home maintenance, I find the answer here - from concerns about ants to cleaning carpets to cleaning the shower. I've also found great advice and ideas for getting organized around the house. I appreciate the author's goal to spend LESS time cleaning - not more!

Down to Earth with REAL, EVERYDAY advice.......2007-07-07

This is the 1st time I have taken the time to write a review about any book. That should say something at least. This book has become my bible as I have bought and begun to renovate my first-ever home. While my mom is nagging about bleaching out the basement and hiring a pest control service, I am able to come back to Organic Housekeeping for advice that is in line with my morals. This book is NOT preachy. Instead, it offers practical advice for straight-to-the-point how to do ____ without poisioning your family (pets included!). Thank goodness for this book! I recommend it to everyone who has an interest in being green. :)

Well scrubbed book.......2007-05-13

This book includes a lot of common sense/tried and true methods for cleaning (and yes they do work) along with many new ideas I had not heard of before that are simple to carry out. I like that fact that the material is not toxic and will not set off my asthma like some of the store-bought items do.

Excellent Book.......2007-04-03

This book is full of excellent advice. I have been concerned about the products that I use for cleaning for a while and this book gave me a great one-stop resource to start doing something about it. The introduction on how to handle the mountain of stuff we tend to accumulate was a welcome bonus (buying a copy for my ex-wife just for that!).

I don't know... I guess I was expecting more from this book. After reading Telesales Tips From The Trenches (Catal) and How To Sell More In Less Time (Sobczak) this was kind of a let down.

excellent teaching book on the process of telephone sales.......2007-09-24

If you do any type of telephone sales this book is great!! I found it to be very easy to read and the examples were just what I deal with in my job. I needed more info on how to sell to "new" prospects and this helped me alot. While I did not necessarily do every exercise, I found the ones I did do to be very informative. I even bought a copy for a co-worker (I didn't want to give mine up!!)

Very helpful and logical way to look at the sales call .......2007-07-04

This book offers a great way to dissect your sales call, identify what's missing (or what's overkill), measure its effectiveness, and improve your strategy. I purchased this book with another "highly rated" telephone sales book after scouring every book regarding tele-sales and telemarketing at my library. This is the best current publication that I have found.

Practical, Actionable and a Great read.......2006-01-03

Now this has practical tips from the trenches and you can tell the author isnt writing about theory but has done it himself. For someone with no experience in the field this is a handson guide with actionable items anyone can do when theyre finished.

Chills the "dentist" anxiety for first time patients.......2007-10-03

I thought this would be a good book to read to my child prior to seeing a dentist. It is/was! I would recommend it for any parent who is needing to take their young child to the dentist for the first time.

Great way to prepare kids for the first dentist visit!.......2007-08-11

I used this with two 3-year-old boys who were known to balk at unfamiliar situations and throw ear-shattering tantrums if neccesary to get away from their object of fear. This book went a long way toward manking the dentist experience a whole lot more "interesting" vs. "scary". Both boys now look forward to their check-ups and are very familiar with what to expect thanks to Dora and her friends.

book for easing dentist anxiety.......2007-05-14

This has been a great resource for my 3-4 year old. Dora is a familiar face who shows what will basically happen at a dental visit. I do wish it could have shown Dora getting her teeth polished, or something like that, but over all a very good resource.

2 year old toddlers were captivated.......2007-05-14

We have twin girls , 2 years old and they are about to have their first visit with the dentist soon. They love this book (we have 2 copies). They are curious and they enjoy reading it over and over again. I think it will help them be more prepared when they take their first visit to the dentist.

teaching about going to the dentist & dental hygeine is always beneficial.......2007-02-12

Anything that promotes dental hygeine and not to fear visiting the dentist is always a favorable item in our home.
Everyone likes Dora, so why not let your child's favorite character go to the friendly dentist? Next, go to Walmart or Target and buy her a Dora toothbrush and show her what Dora uses, and how to brush teeth (especially after eating any sweets) The earlier you can instill good habits in your child, the better and easier it is for you as the parent or caregiver.
As a parent, I don't care very much for Dora books or shows, but who asked me for my opinion? We care what our child thinks and wants in a book.

This book contained 100 pages of manuscript on whelping and breeding and care of neonates by Terri Shumsky. People who can no longer get this book should check out Terri Shumsky's HOW TO BUY AND RAISE A GOOD HEALTHY DOG, which contains all the same information given to Ann Seranne PLUS lots more.
Here's what Boxer Review said about Terri Shumsky's book.

How to Buy and Raise a Good Healthy Dog is mostly about breeding and
raising a dog. It contains one chapter on the buying of a dog, one chapter on general
health care (covering about 65 pages) and three appendixes on genetics, food and
nutrition and microchips.

Good Textbook.......2006-07-07

A great book that I often reccommend for anyone who asks a lot of questions about grooming, at shows or at home. I Love grooming my horses, and this book gives you many new ideas and 'tricks' to try to make your horse have good and healty coat. I doesn't matter what breed or disciplne you show, this book has it all. I show hunter-jumpers and eventing, but I also have two miniature horses that I show and this book helped me with all of them!

Making the dirtiest chores enjoyable!.......2003-05-20

This is one of those books you don't use every day, but when you're thoroughly confused or completely forgetting something it comes in handy. It has alot of great pictures and illustrations that make it great for kids as well as adults. I learned alot about alternative grooming methods that I had never even heard of before!

Grooming to win is a must have for any horse owner!.......2001-12-19

Grooming to win is for any discipline, and any breed. I used it as a reference for getting back into the show ring. It's like having your own trainer with you all the time. I show Morgan and Quarterhorses and it covers everything from conditioning to getting those braids in right!
DONT SHOW WITHOUT IT!

An Essential For Winning In Showmanship.......2001-08-22

This is one of the best books that I've found that explains grooming your horse step by step - not only for the show ring, but for everyday maintenance. Ms. Harris details breed protocols for the show ring (good news for the novice showman!). Did you know that it is considered bad form to braid the hunter on the left side of the neck, and vice versa for western pleasure horses? From achieving that showring bloom to step by step braiding guides, this book is a must for any competetive horseman's book collection!

Very Comprehensive.......2001-06-02

From body clipping to everyday grooming, Ms. Harris has provided an excellent reference for everyone from the first-time exhibitor to seasoned professionals. She covers nearly every riding discipline imaginable, going over grooming procedures for each in a thorough yet consice manner. Her explanations are easy to translate into technique and the book offers many illustrations. This book makes for excellent reading for the novice and a wonderful referrence for the more experienced horse groom.

What we should all know and do in business and life.......2006-01-20

I really enjoyed this book. The author basically tells you to honestly be interested in the other person, to listen and treat them as if they are important to you. No where in the book does he say to use manipulation or dishonesty. There is nothing dishonest about caring about the people you do business with, making them know they are important to you nor in sending birthday cards. Wouldn't life be much better for us all if we did take the small extra effort to actually care about others and treat them as though they matter?
One thing I liked alot was that he didn't name drop as another author on the subject does in "Never Eat Alone".
In my sales as well as in life, I will use what I learned and should have been doing all along.

A WASTE OF MY TIME.......2005-12-27

Is this guy serious? He has got to be the most insincere, egotistical, condescending "author" out there. Whatever happend to good old fashioned saying it like it is... politely of course. Mr. Levine is all about manipulation, and nothing about just being real. It's a sad commentary when we have people telling us that we need to compromise our values and integrity by using flattery. This book made my stomach turn. To be fair to Mr. Levine, I didn't finish the whole book so maybe he redeemed himself somewhere in the back of the book. But, I was so sickend by what I read, I couldn't go on wasting my time. A word to the wise, don't waste your time!

Good for Quarterlifers.......2005-09-12

In an age of instant messaging, email, text messaging, pagers, palm pilots, and the Blackberry today's quarterlifers--people in their teens, twenties, and early thirties--often overlook the relationship behind the electronic communication.

Michael has build one of Hollywood's most successful P.R. firms through his attention to those relationships. In Charming Your Way to the Top Michael has boiled down over 20 years of experience in working with our cultures most captivating celebrities and politicians into an approachable and practicle manual for bringing out the charisma in each of us.

In many ways it's a back-to-the-basics book. The advice is not hard to follow, yet as Michael points out few people actually do it.

I recommend Michaels book for anyone who has asked the question, "What is it about __________ that makes me like them so much?"

Charming Your Way to the Top will help you find the answer.

Listen to Charm!.......2005-04-20

In his book, Charming Your Way to the Top, Michael Levine offers some extremely beneficial insights into being successful in business and, more importantly, in life. In chapter six of Charming, Michael writes that the skill which is most closely associated with charm is listening. He goes on to share that there is nothing to be lost by listening. He states, in fact, how so much is to be gained from listening sincerely to others. I truly admire Michael's idea, because I know the respect that I feel for someone who takes the time to listen to what I have to say. In addition, Michael writes about the importance of listening to someone's name and using it. Since reading this book, I have started to repeat people's names throughout the conversation as Michael suggests. The responses I have seen are amazing. The simple act of asking someone their name when I normally would not is enough to light up their face. As Michael Levine offers, "It is very charming, and clearly quite memorable" (p.48). Levine's book provides an honest and realistic approach to being a successful person. After reading his book, I can understand why he is considered one of the most successful PR executives in Hollywood.

Entertaining and informative book!.......2005-03-31

In his entertaining and informative book, CHARMING YOUR WAY TO THE TOP, Michael Levine defines charm as "the act of making the other person believe you care" . . . he then goes on to present countless examples of how this can be done in a wide variety of situations.

Levine, who heads his own public relations firm, also mentions names of people who have and haven't used charm in their careers . . . my only regret is that he hadn't mentioned both
Cary Grant and Adolph Hitler quite so much and instead had cited his actual clients more.

Yet that said, I still liked CHARMING and got much out of it . . . you will, too . . . for example, here were just a few of the ideas that caught my attention:

The most obvious way to ingratiate yourself to other people is to demonstrate interest in them. Women often complain that first dates are awful because the men they date rarely want to talk about anything but themselves. Listening as well as talking is a severely under-practiced skill and one that needs to be cultivated and used intelligently. It is simple and basic, but it is also true--we want people to listen to us.

Light conversation is a skill and an art--it requires a little thought, and quick reactions. But it is not difficult and it is not dangerous. Asking people how their day is going is a simple and quick way to start a conversation, and-especially-to demonstrate that you are interested in them, in their feelings and problems, at least on a very limited basis. I'm not talking about the robotic "have-a-nice-day" kind of communication that is clearly rehearsed and insincere.
In this case, the easiest thing at the dry cleaner, the supermarket, the restaurant, or the bookstore is simply to look the person behind the counter in the eye, smile, and ask, "How's your day going?"

Also, using that technique [using someone's name] when leaving voice mail or telephone answering machine messages is a very telling, important point. Yes, identify yourself, but make sure you speak directly to the person for whom you're leaving the message, and use his name. It shows that even during unguarded moments you are thinking of someone other than yourself.
