Reviewed By Romuald Dzemo for Readers' Favorite
Too Much Love Is Not Enough: A Memoir of Silence of Childhood Sexual Abuse by Rosenna Bakari is a memoir that looks at the silent suffering of a woman who experienced sexual abuse and trauma in her childhood, and who was coerced into silence by a culture that protects aggressors instead of victims. She writes: “I had kept the rape a secret since age seven, and even kept it a secret from myself. To this day, I have no clear memory of my brother violating me.” It’s an experience that is shared by many women who are violated in their childhood — they are either forced into silence or are driven by shame to remain silent to a point that they even deny it ever happened.
In this memoir, the author courageously tells her story, exploring the unhealthy dynamics in her family. Readers understand how what happens in our childhood can determine the quality of our psychological and emotional health as we grow into more mature adults. Readers will understand the silent tears of the protagonist, encounter her in moments of frailty, and learn how coping mechanisms, which include silence, can lead to more suffering. This is a heartbreaking yet inspiring story, one that encourages abused women not to surrender to silence and allow the pain to eat them from within, but to seize the courage to face the evil by naming it and speaking about it.
This is a story about healing from someone who, for many years, covered her pain in other passions. Readers will understand that at some point one has to have the courage to open the wound, for it is only then it will cease to fester and can start to heal. Rosenna Bakari brings into her writing her expertise in psychology and helps readers understand the different wrong ways they have been taught to deal with childhood sexual abuse. The narrative in Too Much Love Is Not Enough: A Memoir of Silence of Childhood Sexual Abuse is insightful and emotional, driven and focused, and the book offers powerful lessons to readers.

Mindful Framing
Transform your Anxiety into Vital Energy

2018 Honorable Mention
Kindle Edition

Non-Fiction - Health - Fitness
Reviewed By Sarah Scheele for Readers' Favorite
Mindful Framing: Transform your Anxiety into Vital Energy by Oscar Segurado is an absolutely fantastic self-help book about improving emotional health. Oscar Segurado lays out a system for calming emotions and fundamentally reducing stress by devoting 15 minutes per day. A short story included in the book parallels how to become immune to stress by exploring the physical human immune system. A character representing the vital T-cell solves a mystery involving characters who represent malfunctioning immune cells, cancerous cells, and infections. This character practices Mindful Framing, the art of relaxing her emotions by organized steps to visualize her sources of concern, the natural world around her, her emotions, and harmonious consciousness of her body. She then follows the reader for the rest of the book as the author lays out the steps. The reader imagines themselves in scenes with the character, Therese, practicing these emotional control methods.
With creative ideas and a clever use of storytelling, Oscar Segurado uses his medical background to explain not only the connection between the emotions and the body, but to offer one of the most readable, approachable presentations of the human immune system I’ve ever read. This book has great educational content for the typical person who might not be able to wade through medical terminology about the immune system, and joins that information to a complete, revolutionary approach to controlling anxiety. Oscar offers Mindful Framing—and the NEO Chi lifestyle—as an alternative to typical meditation practices. Instead of focusing on outward ideas to feel detached, Mindful Framing: Transform your Anxiety into Vital Energy focuses on the person’s emotions causing anxiety, stress, and physical problems like headaches. I eagerly read through this book and couldn’t wait to put some of the ideas into practice. It was an encouraging, inviting book and an outstanding read.

How healthy is your diet? Do you eat a balanced selection of meats, poultry, fish, grains, dairy, fruits and vegetables? Is your nutrient and vitamin intake sufficient to maintain a healthy body? Perhaps you’ve been misinformed. For decades, health experts have argued one way or another, only to reverse their arguments a decade later. Butter was bad, then it was good. Meat guaranteed a strong body, but fish might be better. Poultry is a good meat alternative, but is it really genuine, un-genetically and un-medicated healthy? So what is healthy? When the adverts promote meat as the food that made our ancestors, the cavemen, so strong and healthy, and milk is promoted as something to guarantee strong bones, and the health experts agree with the adverts, then who are we to argue?
Well, perhaps we all should take another look at what we eat. Here’s another expert’s point of view. Dr. David Friedman’s very thorough study of the food industry as it affects our diet is a real eye-opener and it will certainly challenge the many preconceived notions of healthy eating ingrained in our mindset, predominately promoted by the power of advertising. Food Sanity: How to Eat in a World of Fads and Fiction explores the myths and falsehoods promoted by society. He supports his discussion with resources and from personal experience as a physician, citing specific patient cases with diet-infused issues. He begins his discourse with a humorous anecdote from childhood, when his mother quoted, “You are what you eat.” He asked her to buy Jolly Green Giant vegetables in the hopes it would make him taller. Advertising at its best, but not always in the best interests of the consumer. The bottom line is that most of what we’re being told is healthy food is really not so healthy after all. This is a very thorough and well presented resource to help all of us understand what we eat and what is really healthy and beneficial in our diet.

WTF Am I Supposed to Eat? A Dieter's Manifesto by C.J. English is an engaging book that will encourage readers on their journey of pursuing health. The book throws light on what it really takes to lose weight, what it really takes to keep weight off, the truth about what is really healthy, and what will actually kill us. The author encourages readers to first find out what works out for them, which is actually the key to weight loss, and then work on that to build the foundation for lasting weight-loss results. Filled with some lip-smacking recipes, the book guides readers to follow a healthy diet plan and make losing weight enjoyable.
The book is informative and does not make weight loss seem to be a hard task as the author asks readers only to make small changes so that they can produce small results over a long period of time. Diet books are usually all about changing overnight or changing habits more than one can handle, but this book has good suggestions and tips to put a stop to weight gain. The recipes look delicious and they focus on maintaining healthy eating habits. The book is refreshing and fun to read and makes weight loss look easy and fun. The author makes readers look at dieting in a different way and gives good information on how to make a vegetarian diet tasty.

The Tao of Sudoku - Volume 1, written by Cristina Smith, is a compilation of philosophy and Sudoku puzzles. The puzzles themselves (100) are graded easy to medium in difficulty, but this is not just a puzzle book. Smith encourages readers to consider the art of Sudoku as yoga for the brain. And to promote whole brain health, along with the puzzles, there are uplifting and thought-provoking quotes and facts about how Sudoku originated and its benefits. Think you can't do Sudoku because you're hopeless at maths? Think again. As Smith suggests, solving a Sudoku puzzle doesn't take any maths ability at all - it's all about patterns, not adding, subtracting or calculus. But it does give that satisfying buzz of piecing together the why and how of the particular pattern involved .
I love Sudoku, especially the hard puzzles that challenge me. And I loved The Tao of Sudoku, compiled by Cristina Smith. Not because the puzzles themselves were particularly challenging (being rated as easy to medium they are not very difficult), but because this book challenged me in other ways. It challenged me to consider Sudoku not just as a fun hobby, but to use Sudoku as a meditative tool, too. I now see Sudoku as yoga for the brain. It increases my mental skills and boosts my creativity and is a personal growth tool. The fact that it reduces the risk of early dementia and Alzheimer's can't be dismissed either! At the bottom of every page is a quote, each one of which could be applied to just the Sudoku puzzles. But they also relate to life in general and are food for the soul. Interspersed throughout the puzzles are also snapshots of interesting facts, for example: where Sudoku originated. So I found The Tao of Sudoku is not just another Sudoku book - if you are looking for something that stretches your mind, nourishes your soul, and is entertaining and fun, this is the book for you. I recommend it unreservedly.

As a psychology student, I was very impressed by Functional Emotional Fitness™ (The Mechanism of Emotion and The Gut-Brain Influence) by Kelly Burris. The fact that the book had such a large grounding in the same psychology I was learning in college, yet lacked the dry textbook style of writing, made it an interesting read. I feel that I learned more about the psychology of health from this book than I did from my health psychology textbook because this material made sense, was backed up by evidence, and was easy to understand. I personally found many of the techniques to be easy enough to apply to my own life, so I plan to do this as soon as I finish my current semester. I liked how Kelly Burris used a writing style that was based on clear facts and evidence, yet also made the material seem like something that could be easily applicable in everyone's life!
