Carly Simons New York Times bestselling memoir; Boys in the Trees; reveals her remarkable life; beginning with her storied childhood as the third daughter of Richard L. Simon; the co-founder of publishing giant Simon Schuster; her musical debut as half of The Simon Sisters performing folk songs with her sister Lucy in Greenwich Village; to a meteoric solo career that would result in 13 top 40 hits; including the #1 song "Youre So Vain." She was the first artist in history to win a Grammy Award; an Academy Award and a Golden Globe Award; for her song "Let the River Run" from the movie Working Girl. The memoir recalls a childhood enriched by music and culture; but also one shrouded in secrets that would eventually tear her family apart. Simon brilliantly captures moments of creative inspiration; the sparks of songs; and the stories behind writing "Anticipation" and "We Have No Secrets" among many others. Romantic entanglements with some of the most famous men of the day fueled her confessional lyrics; as well as the unraveling of her storybook marriage to James Taylor.

No filtering of the quality of studies and science she refers toBy ClassicIts like someone Googled everything the Internet had to say about sleep and pasted it into a book with minimal editing.There is no filtering in a sense of the quality of studies and science that are referred to in the book. A lot of the authors claimed problems with our modern daily lives that prevent us from sleeping will probably just make you end up more paranoid about losing sleep and as a result have a harder time sleeping.I recommend instead - say goodnight to insomnia by gregg jacobs. An author experienced in the subject and providing higher quality content in less words. Helped change my sleeping habits significantly.Sleep well.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Get some sleepBy R. BarrellHelped me to see how little regard I had placed on getting a good nights rest..... Also provided suggestions for changes I could me. I am trying to use what I have learned from this book to make some positive changes. Results so far have been promising./0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. You will make time to sleep!By SylviaThis book was incredibly informative. I truly enjoyed learning about the history of sleep. the value of sleep. and her tips and tricks for success. After reading this. Im almost scared to get less than 8 hours a night hahaha.I gave it 4 stars because while the research backing her statements is solid - it was almost too much. Every other sentence would refer back to a study. which inhibited the flow of the reading for me. Overall though. -absolutely worth a read!
