    In The Law of Divine Compensation, Marianne Williamson reveals the spiritual principles that help us overcome financial stress and unleash the divine power of abundance. Williamson's words ring with power and truth as she assures us that, with faith in God's promise of prosperity for all, we need never fear the future.

    Is there anything you would change about this book?

    I liked the content, but the delivery was too slow and reminded me of a meditation. I listen to my books during long drives, so falling asleep was not something I was after. There was also a lot of repeating of the same thing, which made me lose interest very quickly. If this book was made more concise and upbeat, it would be better.


    Would you be willing to try another one of Marianne Williamson’s performances?

    Probably not


    If this book were a movie would you go see it?

    No

    In this wickedly honest new work, Chelsea Handler casts the net wider with even funnier results, recalling the most noteworthy highs and lows of her life to date - including her efforts to diversify by dating red-haired men, her obsession with midgets, and the dog-sitting interlude in which her boyfriend became overly familiar with a Peekapoo.

    Do you think Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

    I did not think this one was that great, so I wouldn't be interested in follow up.

    In this stunning new book, Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an intellectual journey through the world of "outliers"--the best and the brightest, the most famous and the most successful. He asks the question: what makes high-achievers different? His answer is that we pay too much attention to what successful people are like, and too little attention to where they are from: that is, their culture, their family, their generation, and the idiosyncratic experiences of their upbringing.

    What did you love best about Outliers?

    This book provides a very different angle on things that we take at face value. It proves once again that there is more than one side to any story. It also urges you to take advantage of opportunities and work hard to achieve goals.


    What did you like best about this story?

    Learning new ways to look at the world


    What does Malcolm Gladwell bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    He makes you want to listen more.


    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

    I loved hearing that most people who achieved enormous success had to put in an enormous amount of work. It did not happen overnight and luck was not the only component in their success formula.


    Any additional comments?

    This book teaches us to stay open minded

    Based on more than 40 interviews with Jobs conducted over two years—as well as interviews with more than a hundred family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues—Walter Isaacson has written a riveting story of the roller-coaster life and searingly intense personality of a creative entrepreneur whose passion for perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries: personal computers, animated movies, music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing.

    If you could sum up Steve Jobs in three words, what would they be?

    Inspiring, honest, thought provoking


    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

    There were a few points in the book where Steve explains the importance of doing things for their own sake rather than to make money. I found that very refreshing.

    What if charisma could be taught? For the first time, science and technology have taken charisma apart, figured it out and turned it into an applied science: In controlled laboratory experiments, researchers could raise or lower people's level of charisma as if they were turning a dial. What you'll find here is practical magic: unique knowledge, drawn from a variety of sciences, revealing what charisma really is and how it works. You'll get both the insights and the techniques you need to apply this knowledge. The world will become your lab, and every person you meet, a chance to experiment.

    Before Liz Lemon, before "Weekend Update," before "Sarah Palin," Tina Fey was just a young girl with a dream: a recurring stress dream that she was being chased through a local airport by her middle-school gym teacher. She also had a dream that one day she would be a comedian on TV. She has seen both these dreams come true. At last, Tina Fey's story can be told....
