This book can help you change your life.......2007-09-03
I have used Words of Power statements many times since I first read this book in the mid-eighties. Each time they helped me focus on bringing into my life things that were "perfect for me" - jobs, homes, even romantic relationships. I can't recommend this book too highly.
Positive Magic brings Positive Energy.......2006-02-13
I actually read Positive Magic in the early 1980's and found it an enlightening and positive experience. For example, the book contains several rituals that actually helped me realize that I deserve positive things in my life. This book is not about putting an evil spell on your roommate who never does her share but rather an avenue to allow goodness into your life. Marion Weinstein is a very gentile genius.
Positive Magic, Marion Weinstein.......2004-05-30
Marvelous book for anyone interested in the Old Path. Helps one build a solid foundation in their journey.
A great book for any level.......2003-02-26
This book is one that i recommend most to anyone who is searching for a start into the study of an earth based religion, or even to a practioner of many years who would simply like to get a new perspective. This is a very comprehendable read and was very enjoyable.
Book Description
Today more than ever, many people are hungry for spirituality and community. But the most powerful and meaningful spirituality shows itself through action. Jim Wallis is the charismatic preacher, activist, and leader of Call to Renewal, a dynamic new movement that is uniting politics and spirituality to ignite social change and overcome poverty. In his timely, exciting new book, he shows us how we can enrich our own lives by serving our communities. Wallis believes that the making of the modern Christian, Muslim, or Jew is through action. A preacher who spends his time working for justice rather than just speaking from a pulpit, Wallis compellingly demonstrates how going out and putting your belief to work is what really counts. Faith shows itself in works—faith works.
Named by Time magazine as one of the "50 Faces for America's Future," a regular contributor to NPR, MSNBC, and major newspapers, and editor in chief of Sojourners magazine, Jim Wallis is a well-known media figure. His advice is increasingly sought by leading politicians who want to tap into the growing power of faith-based organizations and the Call to Renewal movement. A lifelong activist, he has been putting his faith to work for more than three decades. His anecdotal, exhilarating, and engaging book is part memoir, part inspirational game plan for transforming our own lives and our society, and part primer on how faith communities are changing neighborhoods. It is filled with dramatic human stories of men and women who will move and inspire us. Faith Works will appeal to religious people looking to bring more meaning to their faith and to spiritually hungry people looking for direction in their lives.

When she was a kid, Carol Queen was called "Queen the Queer." "Queer" was still very much an insult at the time, not the term of power and pride it has recently become. Similarly, sex was called a bad thing, a nasty thing, even for, perhaps especially for, good girl feminists. Like other sex-positive folks of her generation, Carol Queen is re-evaluating the range and possibilities of sexual experience and identity. This book gathers previously published essays on topics ranging from pelvic exams, pornography law, the men's movement, sex as art, Madonna, and sacred whoredom. Queen is an intelligent, funny writer.
Book Description
Real Live Nude Girl: Chronicles of Sex-Positive Culture by Carol Queenis Queen's long-awaited and delightfully candid collected writings on sex. Whether writing about the joys of being turned over her lover's knee and spanked into erotic bliss, performing in a red-light district peep show, educating physicians on the finer points of the gynecological exam, or attending a California Men's Movement gathering to lobby for the pro-pornography platform, Queen is compassionate and intel ligent - and deliciously provocative.
Customer Reviews:
Great to hear a sex-positive voice.......2005-01-08
Spurred on by recommendations at Amazon, I purchased Carol Queen's book. Ms. Queen sees herself as a sex priestess if not goddess and frankly I'm prepared to give her such a title - sight unseen. To say her experience is vast and varied seems an understatement. I'm so happy to hear from a bona fide "sex positive" that I really enjoyed this book.
I was reading at furious clip and ran into page 84 like it was a stone wall. Ms. Queen repeats the horrible comparison made between circumsion and the erroneously named genital mutilation called "female circumsion". She dismisses the scientific reasons for circumsion as "late breaking theories" and then substitutes the PC-of-the-moment anti-male screed that this is what is what went wrong with so many men. She apparently had never heard that some adult men get circumcised just to improve their sex lifes. Frankly, if a procedure with the same pain and risks would have led to a 10% reduction in tooth decay, I would hope that my parents would go for it.
I have to admit the best parts of this book are when she goes squarely after the MacDworkinites (she doesn't use that word but you know who I mean). She has no problem standing up to those who would rather she kept to a more doctrinaire line. At one point she decides to try prostitution and some former friends refer to speak to her. No matter, this is a very independent woman. I wish I met more like her.
One minor point, this book is a collection of essays that were previously published and that means she sometimes repeats herself (yes, I know you have a Ph.D. in Sexuality) and any chronology is pretty well lost.
a positive and important book.......2004-04-03
Real Live Nude Girl is quite simply one of the best books ever written on the human experience. Carol Queen is an intelligent, witty, and powerful writer whose experience in the sexual fringes of our society constitutes a great storehouse of wisdom. She has been a sex worker in areas that range from the peep show booths to training gynecologists how to give an intelligent and sensitive pelvic exam to speaking at men's gatherings.
Her approach is straghtforward and honest. She doesn't pull any punches or mince words. She also does not subscribe to the dogma of any "isms," and is genuinely concerned with the rights of all people to explore and experience their lives and sexuality in an atmosphere of open acceptance and even celebration. She is sex-positive and proud of it.
The book is divided into chapters dealing with different experiences and ideas, such as experiencing different sexual lifestyles, talking with others about your sexuality, being an exhibitionist, sex work, pornography, politics, and so on. Some of the chapter titles are:
Don't Fence Me In
Bisexual Perverts among the Leather Lesbians
Safe Words and Safe Sex
Pornography and the Sensitive New Age Guy
Healing and Holy Acts: Sacred Whoredom
She deals with sensitive and controversial issues very well, and her writing is easy and pleasurable to follow. She discusses the history of sexual repression in a variety of ways, using her experiences as points of reference. For example, she uses being onstage with Annie Sprinkle to discuss some of the history of sacred sexuality and why some religions have such a morbid fear of sex.
There is so much in this book that is so good, I could go on and on. There are six pages of bibliography for further reading, as well as all the people and books mentioned in the text.
If you only read one book ever on sex, culture, religion, and human experience, this should be it.
Food for Thought.......2002-01-27
The author explores beliefs and perceptions most of us never question, and in doing so makes a clear and logical argument for a kind of sexual equality we have yet to contemplate as a society. A must-read for anyone who thinks of themselves as open-minded and sex positive.
Silly.......2001-12-29
Any author who tries to divide the discussion on porn or the sex industry into "sex-positive" and "sex-negative" is working from some very immature definitions of sexuality. Unfortunately it merely mirrors our culture's general sexual ignorance.
I have worked for years both with survivors of sexual violence and the sex industry, and those who advocate for them. I know many of the realities (rather than rhetoric or fantasy) involved. Realities that include violence, economic exploitation, drug addiction, and high levels of post-traumatic stress syndrome. Realities that include inescapable misogyny, as is only natural when you set aside one class or gender of people to service another.
I know that prostitution in particular is dependent on a division of women into human beings and whores. It plays on the economic and social gulf between men and women. Such a division affects all women, and all men as well.
Of course, I realize that there will always be those who project an "anti-sex" ideology on those of us willing to look honestly at these issues. Which is where the silliness comes in, because it is only by addressing these issues (rather than denying them) that you can begin to create a sexuality that is based on equality and humanity.
The attitude of the author is unfortunately based on denial, which does nothing to solve the problem, or even address the issue. It simply perpetuates the myth that it is the "liberated" vs the "repressed." Because of her youth, however, I was willing to give it two stars, rather than one.
I was extremely surprised, however, to find this book noted on a "witchy, feminist, pagan and proud" [...] list. My advice to that list owner: Go back and read Starhawk. You have missed her by a mile if you think this kind of attitude is genuinely connected to the erotic.
So good it's on back order!.......2001-06-21
Seriously, this is an excellent book. Carol Queen is one of the grand dames of sex-positivity. Much (okay, all) of the book is autobiographical, and Queen uses her own experiences to further her ideas about radical sexuality. Ms. Queen is or has been all of the things other reviewers mentioned, and has also received a PhD from the Institute for the Advanced Study of Human Sexuality (IASHS) -- in other words, she knows her stuff. Though some of her prose is light, the stories of Queen's life are fascinating, and the theories she puts forth and hypotheses she posits are valid. I've read Real Live Nude Girl (which are, incidentally, the section titles) several times and almost always quote from it in my own essays about radical sexuality. Fun AND smart.

Moving and informative book on AIDS.......2000-10-26
This books gives a unique view of people of all types and walks of life struggling with AIDS. Dr. Klitzman has brought out an honesty in these people that is both moving and uplifting. A wonderful and important book.
Positive Attitude.......2000-05-25
A very good read for positive and negative people, although the research and interviews were done in America, it is all equally relevant to the Australian community and elsewhere in the world. Dr Klitzman does not forget that every statistic has a human face behind it and a story that is as important as any ever told. I look forward to reading more from this author !.

If you are searching for a more meaningful life, you can celebrate in finding, YOU CAN BE POSITIVE, CONFIDENT, AND COURAGEOUS. Author, Aaron Lumpkin, can help you find more romance, more fun, a better social life, and more of everything life has to offer. Lumpkin could have been a high school suicide statistic. He believed he was unattractive and worthless, didn't feel he had what it took to be successful at the basics of life like dating and getting a job. By the time he graduated from high school, he hated life so much that he wanted to die. He actually planned his death. Fortunately, he did not make that sad choice. He took simple, achievable steps to turn his negative attitudes into positive ones-steps that he now shows others how to implement to get out of negativity and patterns of underachievement. Chapter topics include: the dangers of negative thinking, how to raise your self-esteem, learning to be more self-confident, developing more courage, learning to live a more meaningful life, and Aaron Lumpkin's own journey toward positive self-esteem.

The book is packed with ammunition that will develop the confidence and courage that we all have within us. YOU CAN BE POSITIVE, CONFIDENT, AND COURAGEOUS, is defintely not "just another self-help book."

Encouraging and Meaningful.......2005-08-10
This book ROCKS! It's very simple, easy to read, but MAKES SO MUCH SENSE!!! This guy talks about how to get through Life, and make something of yourself. I would recommend it for anybody, any age.
Practical, Impressive, Self-Help Book!.......2002-02-06
Aaron, I'm so impressed! I do remember you from your shy teen days. The way I see it now, you have a very bright future ahead of you as a motivational speaker and writer. I bought your book because I remembered you, and your father once did some contract trucking for me. I started reading your book and could not put it down. You explain things that many of us just take for granted. Your book will definitely change the lives of many people!
You can Be Positive,Confident adn Courageous;Learn to Live.......2002-01-29
This is a great read! The author in this book has clearly been in the trenches of life and has overcome dealing with his own problems. He leads the reader with a "been there done that" and you can do it too approach.
It was a "simple read" and easy to understand. I have read many of self help books and I wish I would have started with this one!
The "how to" in this book is not filled with "Guru theories", but real life approaches to obtaining a paradigm shift in understanding how "you" relate to the world.
This book is a must read! Im glad I found it!
This book helped me to understand alot of simple assumptions I made every day actually led to the experiences that I "myself" created. Not the world, not anyone else.
This book pointed out, My own self judgements are the most empowering.
I wasnt aware how hard I was on myself, mostly because what I believed about myself through "others opinions" & "lifes lessons."
Once I realized that "I" made the wounds that hurt me most and "I" held the power to deflect those "self inflicted" wounds, because those hurt the most & harder to heal.
How to find true personal meaning.......2002-01-12
Quotes from the King James Holy Bible add a spiritual dimension to Aaron Lumpkin's You Can Be Positive, Confident, And Courageous: Learn To Lead A More Meaningful Life, which begins with the author's journey to achieving positive self-esteem, and shows the reader how one can love and improve oneself no matter what the circumstances that contribute toward negative thinking and poor self-esteem. Chapters cover issues such as why negativity robs people of a rewarding life, how to find true personal meaning, and how to develop a "super" self-image. You Can Be Positive, Confident, And Courageous is highly motivating, energetic, reader friendly, and strongly recommended self-help book.
Book Description
The director of Canyon Ranch’s award-winning Life Enhancement Program draws on the latest discoveries in psychology and gender-specific medicine to help all women enjoy richer, healthier, more fulfilling lives.
In this innovative book about what brings women happiness, Dr. Dan Baker focuses on the five traps that can compromise happiness and leave women yearning for a better life.
Unlike clinical psychology, which focuses on trying to fix what’s wrong with an individual, positive psychology builds on a person’s natural strengths. The root of most unhappiness, fear, finds a special expression in women, who too often succumb to the happiness traps of perfectionism, wanton wanting, people pleasing, seeking revenge, thinking I’m nothing without X, and overinvesting in their careers.
In What Happy Women Know, Dr. Baker synthesizes a wide range of current research on how women uniquely respond to life’s slings and arrows and how they can best bounce back from them. The book offers women a compelling set of tools that will help them accept the past and actively move toward a happier future of their own design.

Great Advice!.......2007-09-06
I love it! Another bestseller that I recommend - How to be a Super Hot Woman: 339 Tips to Make Every Man Fall in Love with You and Every Woman Envy You
Empowering!.......2007-07-13
I'm halfway through this book and wanted to write a review now because of the one negative review which might dissuade someone from getting this book. If you have the opportunity to peruse it in a bookstore, you'll see for yourself that there is a lot of sharp insight. I get the feeling from reading that Dan Baker really likes women and wants for them the happiness they (we) say we desire. He really cares. The authors address many typical behaviors and beliefs women have about themselves and who they think they're suppose to be/how they're expected to behave that are counterproductive to happiness. It doesn't matter that there is discussion of things most of us have heard/read/thought about before. This book takes those things and expands on them and, personally, I have an even clearer understanding...or more passion about changing those things/concepts/beliefs/self-expectations that are still, sometimes subtly, a part of me. Highly recommended book.
Great Book.......2007-07-11
I have not completed reading this book; however, I was going to suggest it to a friend and I read the above review, which was horrible. I had to comment. I have read many self-help books and this one is very good. It is well written, positive and gives you some insight to some things that I had never really thought of before. Most books that I have read about self-help seem to me as common sense. This book does have some things that to me are common sense; however, there is so much more. I am very pleased as to what I have read thus far! Definitely a reading that should not be rushed!! I have a few more chapters to complete before I am actually done reading this book but thus far, it has been a real pleasure!
This book is good!.......2007-07-09
My original review was written in anger, not about the book, this book is quite good and well worth the money. I only wish I had a copy of this when I was going through a lot of stress in my life (kid and marriage) for the last two years, this book would have been able to put some of it into perspective...I have seen two therapists for these problems and to be honest, this book taught me more than two years of therapy! I cannot change the 1 star, the edit button will not allow it, so please disregard the 1 rating, I believe it deserves a 5!
