  • Where Angels Fear to Tread: The Zygan Emprise: Book I
    • Rated 5 stars

    A creative mystery thriller that kept me engrossed on multiple levels. A light, breezy, fun story with hip, irreverent characters, as well as food for thought on a deeper level about our world, our lives, and our purpose. Loved the unpredictable plot twists and the charming humor.

    A Career Book Page Turner

    Finally, a career book that focuses on “play your own game” rather than trying to outsmart your competition. According to Dr. Barro’s Right Fit Method, there is no external competition. The only person you will compete with is yourself.
    Barro explains her method in an engaging, compassionate, and entertaining style. She entwines real people telling their own personal stories, coupled with her own anecdotes and interactive materials to convey her step-by-step system.
    I loved her style. It’s hard to believe that a career book could be a page turner but that’s an apt description of WIN Without Competing! which is a one of a kind in its genre. I highly recommend this book for employees and entrepreneurs who are searching for new solutions at any stage in their lives. It’s always the right time to learn how to “win without competing” to succeed in your professional and personal life.

  • The House of God: The Classic Novel of Life and Death in an American Hospital
    • Rated 5 stars

    I read this once after my internship and again many years later. I recommend it to anyone interested in medicine. "Shem", a pen name for the author, now a practicing psychiatrist, captured the highs and lows of probably the hardest year of any new doctor's life.

    Beautifully written short stories about the Indian immigrant experience. Even better than The Namesake. As a novelist, I am in awe of the ability of a writer to say so much so well in the short story format.
