Joy on Demand by Chade-Meng Tan

Joy on Demand: The Art of Discovering the Happiness Within by Chade-Meng Tan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I read this for work, as part of a guided study.
Compared with Search Inside Yourself, this book is much more accessible and seems less bound by the whole must-appeal-to-HR construct. Like Search Inside Yourself, the cartoons are fat-phobic.
But the information is useful (already a couple of simple exercises have dramatically shifted the way I operate throughout my day), and I really enjoy his writing voice. The voice is self-deprecating but friendly, and he has a logical way of describing things.

The White Queen by Philippa Gregory

The White Queen by Philippa Gregory
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

i enjoyed the story a lot -- it's nice to read the story from the point of view of the queen and not some dude. i liked the witchcraft aspect. and of course it's very interesting to read about a bloody and intrigue-filled court that has nothing to do with henry viii.
