Research has shown that, on average, two people meeting for the first time will lie to each other three times in the first ten minutes of their acquaintance. This is because lying and deception are innate, claims psychology professor Robert S. Feldman. In this book, Feldman examines the kinds of lies people tell and why they tell them. He also provides advice on how to cope with habitual and compulsive liars, particularly if they are family members, friends, or lovers. You'll learn a lot from this book...and that's the truth! (For more about lies and the roles they play, try Paul Ekman's Telling Lies: Clues to Deceit in the Marketplace, Politics, and Marriage.)

Physician Lisa Sanders is a columnist for The New York Times as well as a consultant for TV's House, M.D. And while Dr. House may prefer not to deal with patients at all, Sanders maintains that good doctors not only talk to but also listen to their patients in order to arrive at correct diagnoses. In fact, "anywhere from 70 to 90 percent" of diagnoses are made based on the patient's story alone. Using case studies, Sanders explores the diagnostic process and emphasizes the importance of the doctor-patient relationship in good medical practice. If you enjoyed such books as Atul Gawande's Complications or Jerome Groopman's How Doctors Think, you'll want to read Every Patient Tells a Story.

"Sugar and spice and all things nice, that's what little girls are made of." But are they really? And should they be? In this book, Rachel Simmons, founder of the Girls Leadership Institute and author of the bestselling Odd Girl Out: The Hidden Culture of Aggression in Girls, explains how girls harm themselves by succumbing to pressure to be "good": suppressing negative emotions, following the rules, and pleasing others...even if they don't want to. Packed with resources and tools to promote confidence and develop emotional intelligence, The Curse of the Good Girl provides advice on how to become a healthy and well-adjusted young woman by speaking your mind, standing up to others, and asking for what you need (instead of settling for what you don't want).

Not long after San Francisco-based newspaper columnist Kelly Corrigan found a lump in her breast at age 36, her father was diagnosed with late-stage bladder cancer. While she dutifully underwent chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation for breast cancer, she had to simultaneously care for her two young daughters and her laid-back, gregarious father--whose approach to his treatment was far less dedicated than her own. In this spirited, humorous memoir, Corrigan describes her life in "the middle place--that sliver of time when childhood and parenthood overlap" and learns what it really means to be an adult. Don't miss this "laughter-filled celebration of family" (Kirkus Reviews).

This collection edited by novelist and breast-cancer survivor Barbara Delinsky (who lost her mother to the disease) presents personal anecdotes from women on the front lines of the battle against cancer. But while the subject is serious, the tone of the contributors is upbeat and practical as they share coping strategies and practical tips (for example, the kinds of deodorant that are allowed during radiation). From diagnosis through treatment, contributors provide firsthand accounts of living with breast cancer as well as how the disease affects relationships with family, friends, and coworkers.

There's not much surgeon that Carolyn Kaelin can't tell you about breast cancer: not only is she the director of the Comprehensive Breast Health Center at Boston's Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, she's also a breast-cancer survivor. Diagnosed in 2003, she's undergone lumpectomies, chemotherapy, and a mastectomy in addition to reconstructive surgery. In Living Through Cancer, Kaelin gives advice to newly diagnosed women, outlining the process from diagnosis through treatment as well as discussing post-treatment issues such as diet, exercise, fertility, and sexuality. Publishers Weekly calls this book "intelligent, pragmatic and reassuring."

A substantial portion of the book is dedicated to breast cancer, including information on the latest diagnostic tests, new treatments such as aromatase inhibitor therapy, updated information about LCIS (lobular carncinoma in situ, sometimes referred to as "stage 0 breast cancer"), and preventative measures for those who have a family history of the disease or are carrying the breast cancer gene.

It's said that one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer during her lifetime. But just as every woman is unique, so is every case of breast cancer. In this book, author Kenneth D. Miller, an oncologist and the director of the Yale Cancer Center Survivorship Program, provides a thorough overview of breast cancer and its treatments--directed at both women at risk for the disease as well as those who already have it. In addition to profiling medical specialists, including radiation oncologists and surgeons, he also includes personal accounts written by breast cancer survivors that detail their own experiences with the disease. For another comprehensive resource that includes the perspectives of both patients and doctors, read Choices in Breast Cancer Treatment.
