'Fitter Faster' by Robert J Davis and Brad Kolowich Jr. needed to be inspiring, motivational, and instructional to truly reach readers like me (vacant from the exercise world for far too long,) and it did that perfectly.

'One Minute Mentoring' by Ken Blanchard and Claire Diaz-Ortiz is one of those books that you read initially very quickly, but then keep on your desk or in your backpack for easy reference. It’s not a book as much as it is a guide and how much you follow it is up to you.

'Beyond Bedlam’s Door: True Tales from the Couch & Courtroom' by Mark Rubinstein is absolutely a must read for people interested in how the brain works and how the courtroom can either protect or destroy it.

A perfect book for the beach, a relaxing day on the couch, or picking something up while waiting at the airport, 'Mangrove Lightning' by Randy Wayne White is delightful from the beginning and never lets up.

The ocean holds mystery, wonder, and amazement. In 'Tides: The Science and Spirit of the Ocean' Jonathan White wants to show you just a taste of that.

'The Well Life' by Briana and Dr. Peter Borten is a guidebook for anyone who wants to chart a new path or a seasoned traveler who is just looking for some new trails.

'Gem' by the Ruby Friedman Orchestra is a time portal back to the early days of blues but run through a modern-day filter of Friedman’s own experiences. Trust me, you’ve never heard anything like this. It’ll sneak under your skin, and you’ll want to keep it there.

'Death of the Dying City' by Matthew Taub challenges the reader to believe in something good when the world around gives no reason to do so.

"I Was Saved by the Bell" by Peter Engel is far more than a trip down memory lane to Bayside High. It show you a man who dedicated his life and his talents to making the world a better place and how we are all better people because of it.

'Find Your Balance Point' by Brian Tracy and Christina Stein is a quick read and I would recommend reading it through once, then going back and actually doing the exercises. That way you have a greater understanding of the goal and structure without being bogged down in worrying if you did the last assignment correctly.
