<p>Name a book, preferably a self-help book, that has greatly impacted your life?</p>
<p>Emotional Intelligence, by Daniel Goleman</p>
<p>Teaching Gifted Kids in the Reguar Classroom, by Susan Winebrenner</p>
<p>(helped my kids more than me, but hey!)</p>
<p>Good Owners, Great Dogs by Brian Kilcommons (can also be applied to small children)</p>
<p>Dont Shoot the Dog by Karen Pryor ( who also is the other of a great book on Nursing your Baby)</p>
<p>Delivered from Distraction by Edward Hallowell & John Ratey ( and other titles by same authors)</p>
<p>All these helped me help my daughter with teen girl issues, but the first can be used by anyone:

<p>and</p>
<pre><code>* French Women Don’t Get Fat* by Mireille Guiliano

<p>Well, since you asked: Mind Over Back Pain by Dr John Sarno.</p>
<p>Reading that book transformed me from a semi invalid to a normal active human being. Completely cured me of debilitating back pain that I suffered with for about 5 years. (That was about 15 years ago).</p>
<p>Love, Medicine and Miracles by Dr. Bernie Siegel. It is ostensibly a book about surviving cancer, but is really a great book about living life to the fullest, no matter how much time you have left.</p>
<p>Women who Love Too Much- a classic, helped me, helped my mom, helped my Ds friends</p>
<p>Ditto Queenbees and Wannabees- altered my Ds life…</p>
