Seven – The Number for Happiness, Love, and Success by Jacqueline Leo
Pub. Date 12/7/09 isbn 9780446542692
Publisher’s description: What is it about the number seven that has such a hold on us? Why are there seven deadly sins? Seven days of the week? Seven wonders of the world, seven colors of the spectrum, seven ages of man, and seven sister colleges? Why can we hold seven numbers or words in our working memory–but no more? Author Jackie Leo explores everything about this mystical, magical, useful, and fun number in her new book.
Interesting! Very Interesting! This is a very fun read – it’s both thought provoking and entertaining. It’s set up in neat little sections with graphics, illustrations, bullet points…. makes it very easy to pick up and read a little here and there when you have a few minutes. (a perfect ‘bathroom’ book… and I mean that it a good way).
You’ll be amazed at how often Seven is a part of everyday things. And thanks to the author (on page 85), I now know that there are NOT 50 ways to leave your lover. There are really only 7.
- Slip out the back, Jack
- Make a new plan, Stan
- No need to be coy, Roy
- Just listen to me
- Hop on the bus, Gus
- Don’t need to discuss much
- Drop off the key, Lee and set yourself free

As a mathematician, I am fascinated by numbers and feel that math is truly the universal language. This book would be a great one for me to read.
Thank you,
