Expected much more.......1998-04-27
ADM Kinkaid was one of the founders of the modern naval organization in the Pacific Theater, but Mr. Wheeler seems just to have strung facts together with a mild attempt at developing a true history. For instance, there is a noticable lack of detailing ADM Kinkaid's experiences as a young Battleship Gunnery Officer into the Commander of the Seventhflt, which depended on a new weapon of war, the aircraft carrier. Additionally, I felt much of the military techno-speak was handle in such a manner that many civilians would not understand and most naval officers would quickly see that Mr. Wheeler often did not understand the words he was quoting.
Book Description
As a child growing up in the Hollywood Hills during the 1950s, Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson thought it was perfectly normal that a guru named Paul Brunton lived with his family and dictated everything about their daily rituals, from their diet to their travel plans to his parents’ sex life. But in this extraordinary memoir, Masson reflects on just how bizarre everything about his childhood was–especially the relationship between his father and the elusive, eminent mystic he revered (and supported) for years.
Writing with candor and charm, Masson describes how his father became convinced that Paul Brunton–P.B. to his familiars–was a living God who would fill his life with enlightenment and wonder. As the Masson family’s personal guru, Brunton freely discussed his life on other planets, laid down strict rules on fasting and meditation, and warned them all of the imminence of World War III. For years, young Jeffrey was as ardent a disciple as his father–but with the onset of adolescence, he staged a dramatic revolt against this domestic deity and everything he stood for.
Filled with absurdist humor and intimate confessions, My Father’s Guru is the spellbinding coming-of-age story of one of our most brilliant writers.

The triumph of critical thinking is the light in the dark.......2007-03-20
Brilliant autobiography and testimony of a person's freedom from the bondage of spiritual arrogance from his lifelong family guru. Not all gurus are the same. In fact, most mainstream religions have hierarchies to manage a cult of personality even though it can emerge in churches. The fact is ... this man got away from the seduction of false theology and other ramblings to see that critical thought did have a place in his life. While many Hindu teachings are valid and timeless wisdom ... in the hands of those who are seeking to be a sort of Jesus Christ superstar character complete with groupie devotees .... one must take a step back and go direct to source. Read this and challenge your own spiritual illusions before an independant investigation of truth is always in your best interests. Do not get taken by a wolf in sheep's clothing.
On the flipside to modern day application of this one man's own journey into reason AND spirit: Do you due diiligence on the credentials, even at the Ph.D. level of other more woo-woo writers on this field of energy and intuitive healing .... before you listen to their counsel. Many of them have Ph.D.'s from unaccredited places ... which means they didn't go through the same kind of rigor. Many popular New Agey type writers such as Sonia Choquette, Doreen Virtue, Carolyn Myss, John Gray, Barbara De Angelis, Dr. Emoto of the Hidden Messages of Water etc .... who are examples of Ph.D.s whose source were unaccredited universities, some who have now been shut down by government authorities as degree mills. Please keep this in mind when venturing out to learn from an inuitive healer ...
Long excuse for personal problems.......2002-02-20
The book is a long excuse for Masson's personal problems and is interesting only to readers very concerned with Paul Brunton. Masson looks for the worst he can remember about a person, he knew in his youth, and expands on every little word. If I was held accountable for every stupid word and phrase I have myself uttered (and the book is littered with that stuff) then my sisters could have me declared insane. Paul Brunton affected many people and engaged many readers, but to require him to be absolutely right all the time would be to ask for Buddha combined with Jesus. The book makes Masson sound childish and preoccupied with himself. The destroyed childhood, he describes, to me sounds like and extremely privileged situation where several adults deeply cared and paid attention to a pretty uninteresting kid. Get a grip Masson.
An Honest look at the De-volution of Spiritual Arrogance.......2001-11-04
Jeffrey Masson recounts his experiences growing up with a family under the direction of self-appointed Guru and misdirected(-ing?) "Eastern Star" Paul Brunton. Masson makes no attempt to hide the illusions he and his parents and sister were held by, telling how "P.B." (Paul Brunton) was able to hold sway over his impressionable if well to do and world traveled, educated parents while himself undergoing no scrutiny. Indeed, I found this book to be a blueprint for many families that have chosen to drop everything, and seek "spiritual improvement" from an outside source. It seems so much easier sometimes to get all of the answers from the source, a teacher or minister, rather than be truely introspective and fix the very real personality problems and faults we all have.
Masson unflinchingly includes excerpts from his younger years, when he was convinced he was on a higher spiritual plane than most of his fellow beings. The arrogance and naivete of his youth is humorous if somewhat worrisome, though we find that he is gifted with a humble introspection that allowed him to outgrow the worst of these. He also explains how over the years through his own education he came to find that most of Brunton's teachings were manufactured or misquoted, the man he'd once so admired didn't know the difference between Sanskrit and Hindi, and certainly was confused as to the texts he supposedly had mastered. Perhaps most interesting, Masson documents his years at Harvard when he has the opportunity to meet other "spiritual" minds in the orientalist religious movements, and discover that supposedly great spiritual men like Alan Watts and Edward Conze were hardly above treating their own families with disregard and cruelty (see page 160). Slowly Masson comes to take critical account of what the "spiritual masters" around him, including family guru Paul Brunton, lack--compassion and a base in reality is traded for the freedom of power over others. Paul Brunton is humiliatingly debunked by the newly savvy Masson upon his return from college--a lesson in developing critical thinking skills and overcoming pithy know-it-all canned "spiritualism" for all of us, written in a thoughtful and reflective manner. Why after all, do the "spiritually developed" so crave the "Maya" of worldly recognition and devotion? Masson is critical too of his old self, and closes on a gentle note.
One of the Worst Books I've Ever Read.......2001-10-18
I would give this book a zero if Amazon made such an option available. And I would have quit reading it after the first chapter had my book group not selected it for discussion. (What on earth possessed us to choose this book, I cannot say.)
Unless one has a personal interest in Paul Brunton (the guru in question), as do some of the the other Amazon reviewers, the book is boring, superficial and pedestrian. To my mind, the interesting story here is how members of an intelligent, educated, Jewish family suspended their critical faculties and cultural assumptions to became followers of a man who claimed variously to come from another planet and a far off star. But Masson offers no insight - psychological, cultural, religious or other - into the motivations of his father, mother and uncle to reform their lives in supplication to a wacky charlatan. Instead he gives us an event-by-event account of the details of life with Brunton, told in the mind-dulling, repetitious prose of a what-I-did-on-my-summer-vacation type of essay.
Self-deluded gurus are a dime a dozen. Intelligent, intimate insight into what makes others follow them is not. This book does nothing to disturb that balance.
The only insight you'll get from this book is that the author thinks quite highly of himself, with no demonstrable evidence to support the conclusion. I got my copy from the library, and though it was overpriced at that.
Debunking Paul Brunton.......2001-05-01
Amazing story of a family subjagated by the pseudo guru Paul Brunton. I remember that after reading "A Secret Search in India" and "A Secret Search in Egypt" I was somehow fascinated by Paul Brunton and his tellings. But they were so unbelievable, that I droped him. In the present book Brunton is exposed as a total fraud. The autobiography about the childhood of Masson unfolds step by step how his family became involved and enslaved by Brunton. Althrough as a reader one may ask why such a dependency on such a betrayer may have been possible, it is still so that many people who are save from cults are prone to become victim to this one-person-cult kind of cult. It is shown in detail, how Brunton established his position of someone beeing advanced, close to the final goal of life. Then they had to follow his advices to get there, too. It also did then not matter, that other people thought it was all crap. They were just underdeveloped. Not everyone could understand and accept, that Brunton came from Sirius. Bruntons case is all too strange, but he found disciples, nevertheless. The book also contains Masson's way out of this missery. The absurdities of Bruntons teachings, further information from other teachers, also the confusions after the wrong third world war prediction and finally university saved Masson's mental life. The book is an easy reader, and one delves deep into the authors inner mental workings.

A wonderful resource!.......2006-10-27
This book is invaluable for helping children take in everything related to a loved one's cancer. It helps kids understand that their fears are normal and understandable, and that cancer is something that we can fight. They also learn that the fight is hard and that they are part of the fight when they support their loved one.
It was enormously helpful to my daughter in understanding my father's cancer last year. My daughter was just five at that time. I read it aloud to her, and she listened so intently that she repeated parts of it verbatim six months later!
I gave our (first) copy to a friend when she was diagnosed with breast cancer for her daughter to read. She describes it as "a godsend."
A most helpful book.......2005-10-17
This book was given as a gift to my ten year old niece while her mom was undergoing treatment for breast cancer. I asked her about how she liked the book and she told me that is has really helped her understand what her mom is going through and helped her understand what she (my niece) was feeling. Great choice!!
A mother's cancer in a cycle of seasons.......2005-01-25
In this story, a young girl, Claire, tells the story of her mother's breast cancer in a monthly scrapbook. It starts in June, when her mother's cancer is first diagnosed. In the ensuing months, her mother experiences surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. In the final month, May, her mother is feeling better and appears to be on the road to a good recovery.
Each month includes Claire's experiences, hopes and fears. She discusses her daily routine and how it has to change when her mother is too ill to pack her lunch or drive her to school. Eventually, Claire learns to manage some chores, such as laundry, on her own. She feels that she is contributing and that she has learned some new skills. Each monthly chapter also includes scientific information explaining facts that a child might want to know. These topics include surgery, surgical drains, chemotherapy, and hair loss. the illustrations include drawings and photographs. They look like the marginal drawings that a girl like Claire might actually do. they help illustrate her reactions.
I liked the way that the book is organized around a specific time frame. A child experiences time differently from an adult. Although cancer treatment often extends longer than a year, the concrete depiction of time passage allows the child or young adolescent to see that there is a progression.
The author and illustrator have both had personal experience with cancer in themselves or in their family. They make it clear that different people experience cancer in their own ways, and that different emotional reactions are all right.
A heart-warming book about a child dealing with mom's cancer.......2003-12-12
First off, let me say that I would be a lot happier if nobody ready this book. I certainly hope that my kids never have to read this book and that I will never ever have to recommend it to anybody that I know.
"The Year My Mother Was Bald" is written for children ages 8-13 who find themselves in the position of dealing with a parent dealing with cancer. Ann Speltz based this book on the experiences of her own family during the year that she was treated for cancer. What she and her daughter, Amelia, went through is turned into this heart-warming volume from Magination Press, with illustrations by Kate Sternberg, who also endured a year when her mother was bald. Here the story is told by Clare, who keeps a journal about the year her mother undergoes treatment for cancer.
"The Year My Mother Was Bald" is divided into twelve chapters, one for each month, beginning in June (which means the cycle ends in the spring). Clare is looking forward to summer, making a list of her favorite summer things to do, when her mother comes back from her annual physical with the news that she might have a tumor in her breast. In addition to Clare's journal entries, there are articles that have been clipped from other sources explaining things like what happens "When Cells Go Wild" and "Radiation." Accompanying Clare's thoughts and this information are drawings, photographs, and resources that will help youngesters understand what is happening, the same way they helped Claire.
Not only does "The Year My Mother Was Bald" offer answers to the obvious questions that will occupy the minds of kids in this situation ("Will my mom be all right?" "Who will take care of me if she doesn't get better?") but also gives kids some pro-active things they can do to not only help them deal with their concerns and fears, but also to help with the recovery process for their mother. However, the primary focus is on helping kids deal with all aspects of this process, which is why perhaps the most poignant moment in the book is when Claire decides what to do with the box underneath her bed that has the hair that her mother has lost.
The back of this book provides resources that kids will find useful for finding additional information about dealing with cancer in free booklets, organizations and online sites, and other books. More importantly, Speltz reassures kids that there are no right or wrong feelings and their feelings are not only important, but also helpful. She also reminds her readers that scientists keep making new discoveries about cancer and coming up with new methods of fighting cancer all the time.
The only concern anyone could have about the helpfulness of this book would be the gender differences between Clare and her mother and the reader and their parent. "The Year My Mother Was Bald" speaks more to a situation where the mother has been diagnosed (fathers can always claim they are trying to look like Michael Jordan or Yul Brynner), but even young boys should be able to relate to Clare's situation and take comfort from this excellent book as well.
From a kid's perspective...............2003-09-10
This very well written, easy to read book is writen from the perspective of a preteen girl whose mother is undergoing testing and treatment for breast cancer. As both a practicing oncologist and a mother of two children (12 and 8 yrs old), I highly recommend this book. The explanations of procedures and treatments were simple, straightforward and easy to understand (my 12 year old agrees). Clare is able to describe feelings and thoughts common to many people in this situation - adults and kids alike - and will let young readers know that they are not alone. This book can also be used as a starting point for further family discussions. The references in the back of the book are quite helpful. The pictures and illustrations are wonderful and make this book unique.

You may want to put all your other cookbooks on waivers for a while and simply settle in to Simply Ming by Ming Tsai and Arthur Boehm. Tsai's the chef and owner of Blue Ginger in Wellesley, Massachusetts, and the host of Food Network's East Meets West. This particular book ties in with a show of the same title he's doing for public television.
Tsai has cut a wide swath through the food world with his creative blending of Eastern flavors and techniques with Western ingredients and presentations. Consider Asian Pesto Turkey Spaghetti, for example. This is Tsai-style spaghetti Bolognese, and it demonstrates the structure of the book. First comes the master recipe for Asian Pesto. Instead of basil, garlic, pine nuts, olive oil, and ground Romano--your classic pesto--Tsai calls for jalapeno chilies, garlic, sugar, ginger, macadamia nuts or salted peanuts, lemon zest, mint leaves, cilantro, salt and pepper, and basil and olive oil. For the Turkey Spaghetti you'll use ground turkey, red onion, button mushrooms, and white wine, as well as the Asian Pesto. In this particular chapter you'll also find recipes for Asian Pesto Chicken Salad, and Grilled Asian Pesto Shrimp and Radicchio.
This is a book about assembling major flavor statements ahead of time and storing them in the refrigerator. The actual cooking becomes a relatively rapid process while delivering maximum flavor. The sections in Simply Ming include Flavored Oils and Sauces; Sambals, Salsas, Chutneys, and Pastes; Dressings, Dipping Sauces, and Marinades: Syrups; Broths; Rubs and Coatings; Doughs and Desserts.
It's fast. It's flavorful. It's from both sides of the world. --Schuyler Ingle
Book Description
As the chef and owner of the acclaimed Blue Ginger restaurant in Wellesley, Massachusetts, and an Emmy award-winning television personality, Ming Tsai has become the standard-bearer of East-West cuisine, the innovative blending of Eastern flavors and techniques with Western ingredients and presentations.
Now, in
Simply Ming, he presents a breakthrough technique for bringing East-West flair to everyday cooking, making it possible to transform a handful of fresh ingredients into a delicious meal in a matter of minutes. The genius of Simply Ming is a versatile array of master recipes—intensely flavored sauces, pestos, salsas, dressings, rubs, and more that eliminate much of the last-minute prep work. So sophisticated dishes such as Tea-Rubbed Salmon with Steamed Scallion-Lemon Rice, Grilled Miso-Citrus Scallop Lollipops, and Green Peppercorn Beef Tenderloin with Vinegar-Glazed Leeks can be on the table in less than 30 minutes.
Even casual dishes such as spaghetti, burgers, fried calamari, and chicken wings get a boost of East-West excitement in Ming’s creative hands, becoming Asian Pesto Turkey Spaghetti, Salmon Burger with Tomato-Kaffir Lime Salsa, Blue Ginger Crispy Calamari, and Soy-Dijon Chicken Wings. This is food that is simple enough to serve on a weeknight, but special enough to share with guests. And desserts get the Simply Ming treatment, too, with tempting ways to transform basic shortbread dough, chocolate ganache, and crème anglaise into a range of show-stopping finales.
Filled with color photographs that motivate and inspire, beverage suggestions to complement each dish, and helpful tips for cooking with unfamiliar ingredients,
Simply Ming makes the excitement and innovation of East-West cooking easily accessible to all home cooks.

Practical Fun Cooking Resource.......2007-08-30
I bought this cookbook as a present for my fiance, and I was very happy with the style and clarity. I also approve of the "prepare it in advance" method which underlies this volume. Each section highlights a range of sauces, condiments, spices and rubs which can be used on the menu items demonstrated, or to spice up your own personal cooking. Because you can prepare so many different dishes with one or two pre-prepared sauces, this book is great for singles or small families who don't like to slave over the stove every night.
The final star missing is because, as much as the book is good, he harps on seafood (particularly scallops) which is limiting, and he is uneven in his suggestions of substituting for rare or expensive menu items. With a little creativity, I'm sure we can figure it out, but he does list substitutions for some - just not many of his recipes.
Overall, quite good, and much more accessible and direct than the earlier "Blue Ginger" cookbook, which I did NOT buy, as it was incomprehensible and the directions were badly flawed.
Great recipes.......2007-06-20
The flavors in the recipes are fabulous. I have served the spicy mango salsa with chicken satays and seared scallops, both to rave reviews. This is one of my favorite recipe books.
Excellent for even everyday cooking.......2007-01-27
I think I use this book a bit different than many in that I see this as a great everyday cookbook. The great advantage of this cookbook is that you can make 2 or 3 of the master recipes on the weekend and then dinner preparation for the rest of the week is very easy. I try to make sure that I have a couple master recipes that have very different tastes on hand to work as a nice counterpoint. For example, I have the apple chutney and curry paste on hand now. This gives me something strong and spicy for some recipes and something sweeter to use as a counterpoint. With only a few exceptions, most of these recipes are only a few steps and hardly ever more than 5 ingredients once the master recipe is done. I should also say that the master recipes are generally quite easy.
Now that I've covered the convenience, the taste on these recipes is absolutely wonderful. I've probably now prepared about half of the master recipes and generally made 2 dishes from each master recipe and they have all been wonderful. Some favorites: the asian lamb gyros were wonderful, the chili-ginger oil chicken and zucchini stir-fry was very easy and very good, Ming's take on Coq Au Vin was amazing. I just can't recommend this book enough. I've been cooking with it non-stop for the last month and it's made everything easier and more delicious. There's no higher praise than that.
Simply Ming: Easy Techniques for East-Meets-West Meals.......2006-11-12
Recipes were very quick and easy to prepare. The master sauces can go with more recipes than in the book.
This book enhances my love of Asian Cuisine.......2005-07-16
What a wonderful cookbook that goes beyond what we usually see and makes Asian cooking accessible to the american home.
The style, layout, and content are exquisite. An improvement over his last book Blue Ginger, which although interesting, I found many of the recipes daunting. These are easy to follow with readily aquireable ingredients. The use of rubs and sauces that can be made easily or purchased are great additions to make meals appetizing and quickly prepared.
The book presentation is a wonderful read with helpful hints and comments on wine accompaniments and little nuances to the recipes.
I look forward to the next one....
Book Description
In Simply Asian, Neil Perry shares his passion for the food, cultures and traditions of China and Southeast Asia. 'My idea of modern Asian food is not muddled, fusion food. Rather it is food respecting its traditions while looking to the future. In this book I have taken a modern, light approach to the cooking and food styles of Southeast Asia, creating recipes with an underlying freshness that really enlivens the palate. These are my all-time favourite dishes-ones that are easy to prepare, strong on flavour and big on impact. All things Asian have fascinated me for more than 30 years. My hope is that this book will help you to unlock the flavours of Asian food and to cook modern Asian food simply-and that you will come to love it as much as I do.'
