Book review - Marge Norris:
Dr. Weaver is a very motivated person who wants to help
encourage others to make the most out of this one life we are
given. He shows us the many variety of ways he uses his ideas in
his own life with humerous examples that make you chuckle and
want to get up off the couch and get busy on the road to
improvement. His examples give the reader the feeling of his
personal committment to a long and healthy life without the
feeling that he is "preaching" his methods. It has made me want
to reconsider some of my food choices, the need for exercise,
but most of all my feelings toward the world that I see
everyday. I am thoroughly enjoying this book and hope others
will take Dr. Weaver's ideas into their hearts as well.

Book description:
Daily And Then Some moments have never ceased, and will never
cease. With respect to influential, life-altering, high density,
transforming events, nothing compares with the colossal And Then
Some phenomena. And Then Some is your benchmark. Establish a
new pattern and approach for reshaping your life. |
Book review - Ann O'Halloran, MSW, LSW
If you're the kind of person who reads for inspiration in your
life, this is the book for you. Dr. Weaver really pours his
heart out (at times he's a bit condescending, but that's ok he's
a retired professor) and talks of his life and family
experiences which illustrate the "and then some" philosophy.
It's about that old saying, "give 110% to get 110%." If you
believe in giving life everything you can to make your journey
the best it can be, you will find this book is for you. If you
only want to give 55%, maybe you'd change your mind after
reading a few of Dr. Weaver's essays. At least it's worth a try!
