Secrets No One Else Will Tell

    Bestselling business
    author Harvey Mackay
    returns with an
    uplifting, amusing and
    jam-packed with proven
    tips book to guide you
    through the toughest job
    market in decades. The
    average person will have
    at least three career
    changes and ten different
    jobs by the age of 38. In
    this era of downsizing
    and outsourcing, you can
    never be sure your job
    will still exist in five
    years - or five weeks. So
    you'd better think of
    your career as a
    perpetual job search.
    That demands a passion
    for lifetime learning and
    the skills for relentless
    and effective networking.
    Mackay shows you how to
    be at your best when
    things are at their
    worst. His hard-hitting
    topics include: beating
    rejection before it beats
    you; warning signals that
    you might be losing your
    job; how to impress at
    interviews; negotiating
    the job you want, not
    the job they offer;
    taking advantage of the
    way bosses make hiring
    decisions; and blending
    the latest contact tools
    with old-fashioned
    face-to-face networking.
    Use Your Head to Get Your
    Foot in the Door is the
    definitive A-Z career
    resource for the rest of
    your life.

Embracing the Ordinary: Lessons from the Champions of Everyday Life
Embracing The Ordinary:
Lessons From The Champions Of
Everyday Life
    It has always been
    difficult to appreciate
    everyday life, often
    devalued as dreary,
    banal and burdensome,
    and never more so than in
    a culture besotted with
    fantasy, celebrity and
    glamour. Yet many
    writers, artists,
    film-makers and
    photographers have
    celebrated the ordinary
    life around them, and
    many philosophers,
    anthropologists,
    psychologists and
    neuroscientists have
    offered insights into the
    difficulties and rewards
    of paying attention to
    the here and now. With
    characteristic wit and
    earthiness, Michael
    Foley - author of the
    bestselling The Age of
    Absurdity - draws on the
    work of these artists and
    thinkers, and encourages
    us to delight in the
    complexities of everyday
    psychopathology. With
    astute observation,
    Foley brings fresh
    insights to such things
    as the banality of
    everyday speech, the
    madness and weirdness of
    snobbery, love and sex,
    and the strangeness of
    everyday objects and the
    everyday environment,
    such as the office. It is
    all more fascinating,
    comical and mysterious
    than you think.

Beyond the Crash - Overcoming the First Crisis of Globalisation
Beyond The Crash - Overcoming
The First Crisis Of
Globalisation
    Gordon Brown's book
    offers insight into the
    events that led to the
    fiscal downward spiral
    and the reactions of
    world leaders as they
    took steps to avoid
    further disaster. The
    book also offers measures
    Brown believes the world
    should adopt to regain
    fiscal stability. Long
    admired for his grasp of
    economic issues, Brown's
    book is a work of
    paramount interest during
    these uncertain financial
    times and attracted
    intense media coverage.
    The book offers a unique
    perspective on the
    financial crisis as well
    as innovative ideas that
    will help create a sound
    economic future and will
    help readers understand
    what really has happened
    to our economy. Mr Brown
    has this to say: 'We now
    live in a world of global
    trade, global financial
    flows, global movements
    of people and instant
    global communications.
    Our economies are
    connected as never
    before, and I believe
    that global economic
    problems require global
    solutions and global
    institutions. In writing
    my analysis of the
    financial crisis, I
    wanted to help explain
    how we got here, but
    more importantly to offer
    some recommendations as
    to how the next stage of
    globalisation can be
    managed so that the
    economy works for people
    and not the other way
    around'

Grand Pursuit - The Story of the People Who Made Modern Economics
Grand Pursuit - The Story Of
The People Who Made Modern
Economics
    From the bestselling
    author of A Beautiful
    Mind, a brilliant new
    approach to the story of
    modern economics and to
    understanding how we got
    into today's financial
    mess. As the twenty-first
    century faces new and
    ever more daunting
    economic obstacles,
    Sylvia Nasar tells the
    story of how our
    financial world came to
    function as it does
    today, and how a handful
    of men and women would
    change the lives of every
    person on the planet.
    Economics was not always
    associated with bankers
    and excess, or with
    recessions and bailouts.
    Economics, as we know
    it, was born in the
    nineteenth century when
    Charles Dickens and Henry
    Mayhew chronicled the
    destitution in London's
    slums and wanted to turn
    money into a force for
    social good. Man's
    material fate would be
    placed in his own hands,
    rather than left to
    destiny. The torch would
    be carried on by everyone
    from Marx and Engels to
    Keynes and Friedman,
    with revolutionary
    results. Filled with the
    stories of colourful
    lives and visions of the
    characters who shaped
    modern economics, Grand
    Pursuit is a fascinating
    history of the
    determining force of the
    past century, and a
    vital insight into how
    our world works now. 'A
    history of economics
    which is full of flesh,
    bloom and warmth' The

The Hour Between Dog and Wolf - Risk-taking Gut Feelings and the Biology of Boom and Bust
The Hour Between Dog And Wolf
- Risk-taking Gut Feelings And
The Biology Of Boom And Bust
    Martin Scorsese's 'The
    Wolf of Wall Street'
    exposes the excesses of
    the trading floor - but
    if you want to know more
    about the biology that
    drives this risky
    business, neuroscientist
    John Coates can explain
    it all. Shortlisted for
    the 2012 Financial Times
    and Goldman Sachs
    Business Book of the Year
    Award and the Wellcome
    Trust Book Prize, this
    startling and
    unconventional book from
    neuroscientist and former
    Wall Street trader John
    Coates shows us the
    bankers in their natural
    environment, revealing
    how their biochemistry
    has a lasting and
    significant impact on our
    economy. We learn how
    risk stimulates the most
    primitive part of the
    banker's brain and how
    making the deals our bank
    balances depend on
    provokes an overwhelming
    fight-or-flight response.
    Constant swinging between
    aggression and
    apprehension impairs
    their judgment, causing
    economic upheaval in the
    wider world. The
    transformation between
    each split-second
    decision is what Coates
    calls the hour between
    dog and wolf, and
    understanding the biology
    behind bubbles and
    crashes may be the key to
    stabilising the markets.

Hello Laziness - Why Hard Work Doesn
Hello Laziness - Why Hard Work
Doesn't Pay
    Picture the scene: The
    boardroom at French
    electricity giant EdF.
    The subject:
    'Motivation'. One of the
    senior economists piped
    up: She came to work,
    she declared, because
    she was paid to. The
    stunned silence lasted a
    full 15 seconds. The
    woman was Corinne Maier
    and she had dared to
    voice the unspeakable -
    we go to work not because
    we love it, not because
    we love organising
    childcare, and cramming
    on the Tube for 45
    minutes, but because we
    have to. This sets the
    tone for Maier's
    revolutionary book on
    getting away with doing
    as little as possible at
    work. Full of practical
    tips as well as insights
    into the workings of the
    modern company, HELLO

    inspirational as it is
    enlightening. Covering

    HELLO LAZINESS is a witty
    antidote to the rash of
    American motivational
    books on the market. It
    is a call to the
    office-workers of the
    world to rise up and
    throw their laptops and
    mission statements in the
    air. HELLO LAZINESS will
    make you laugh, then

Totally Wired - The Wild Rise and Crazy Fall of the First Dotcom Dream
Totally Wired - The Wild Rise
And Crazy Fall Of The First
Dotcom Dream
    The story of the dotcom
    bubble, its tumultuous
    crash, and the visionary
    pioneer at its
    epicentre...One morning
    in February 2001, Josh
    Harris woke to the
    certain knowledge that he
    was about to lose
    everything. The man Time
    magazine called 'The
    Warhol of the Web' was
    now reduced to the role
    of helpless spectator as
    his personal fortune
    dwindled from 85 million
    dollars...to 50
    million...to nothing. In
    the space of a week. If
    the mania attending those
    events is hard to recall,
    it's because when the
    crash came, the dreams
    and expectations of those
    surreal few years were
    swept away with near
    Biblical inclemency:
    little more than a decade
    later they seem shrouded
    in a kind of
    pre-Millennial mist;
    might never have
    happened. How easy to
    forget that at the end of
    1999, the world seemed
    to be spinning off its
    axis as a new one evolved
    before our eyes, with
    anything imaginable
    seeming to be possible,
    in real time...In his
    bestselling book Moondust
    Andrew Smith looked at
    the lives of the nine
    remaining Moonwalkers,
    how their exploits helped
    shape an era and how that
    era left its mark on
    them. In Totally Wired,
    he goes in search of the
    truth about one of the
    most extraordinary and
    mysterious events of the
    20th century, the dotcom
    bubble of the 1990s, and
    draws a direct line from
    there to where we are

Ten Steps To Innovation
Ten Steps To Innovation
    Innovation (that
    combinaton of invention
    and exploitation) for the
    past 10 years, has been
    seen as vital to the
    success of businesses
    around the world. The
    amount of time devoted to
    discusing innovation at
    the recent World Economic
    Forum held at Davos
    clearly shows its
    continued importance.
    Innovation promises a
    lot, and many companies
    (big and small) recognize
    its potential. Yet,
    companies have found how
    difficult it can be to
    implement successfully
    innovation programs and
    strategies. This book,
    by a leading innovation
    practitioner and
    consultant, seeks to
    help individuals and
    companies achieve their
    innovation ambitions. The
    author highlights the key
    reasons for companies
    failing in innovation and
    how they can be avoided.
    He then provides a
    practical, ten-step
    framework for planning
    and implementing
    innovation projects,
    which any company can
    apply. This book provides
    genuine insight and
    understanding of the

Whats Mine is Yours - How Collaborative Consumption is Changing the Way We Live
Whats Mine Is Yours - How
Collaborative Consumption Is
Changing The Way We Live
    In the 20th century
    humanity consumed
    products faster than
    ever, but this way of
    living is no longer
    sustainable. This new and
    important book shows how
    technological advances
    are driving forms of
    'collaborative
    consumption' which will
    change forever the ways
    in which we interact both
    with businesses and with
    each other. The average
    lawn mower is used for
    four hours a year. The
    average power drill is
    used for only twenty
    minutes in its entire
    lifespan. The average car
    is unused for 22 hours a
    day, and even when it is
    being used there are
    normally three empty
    seats. Surely there must
    be a way to get the
    benefit out of things
    like mowers, drills and
    even cars, without
    having to carry the huge
    up-front costs of
    ownership? There is
    indeed. Collaborative
    consumption is not just a
    buzzword, it is a new
    win-win way of life. This
    insightful and
    thought-provoking new
    book by Rachel Botsman
    and Roo Rogers is an
    important and fast-moving
    survey of the dramatic
    changes we are seeing in
    the way we consume
    products. Many of us are
    familiar with freecycle,
    eBay, couchsurfing and
    Zipcar. But these are
    just the beginning of a
    new phenomenon. Rachel
    Botsman and Roo Rogers
    have interviewed business
    leaders and opinion
    formers around the world
    to draw together the many
    strands of Collaborative
    Consumption into a
    coherent and challenging
    argument to show that the
    way we did business and
    consumerism in the 20th
    century is not the way we
    will do it in the 21st

    isn't Wall Street, the
    multinational banks, or
    the governments of the G7
    countries. In this
    brilliant and startling
    investigation, acclaimed
    business reporter Eric J.
    Weiner uncovers the real
    powers guiding our shaky
    recovery from the
    worldwide financial
    crisis and shaping the
    economy of our future.
    Taking advantage of the
    current recession and the
    liquidity problems in the
    United States and Europe,
    cash-flush nations such
    as China, Abu Dhabi,
    Singapore, Saudi Arabia,
    and even Norway are
    using sovereign wealth
    funds and other
    investment vehicles to
    secure major holdings in
    multinational
    corporations as well as
    massive tracts of
    farmland and natural
    resources. This is the
    Shadow Market, quietly
    controlling political
    agendas as well as the
    flow of capital in the
    West - and assembling
    gigantic investment
    portfolios that will form
    the power structure of
    tomorrow's economy.

Everything You Know About
Business Is Wrong: How To
Unstick Your Thinking And
Upgrade Your Rules Of Thumb
    To be brilliant in
    business you have to dare
    to be different. It means
    going against the grain,
    taking risks and never
    giving up despite the
    challenges hurled at you.
    EVERYTHING YOU KNOW ABOUT
    BUSINESS IS WRONG is the
    bible for the
    unconventional business
    brain who won't accept

    author's pithy column
    'Don't You Believe It'
    for Management Today,
    Alastair Dryburgh takes
    modern business myths and
    blows them apart. Did you
    know that: Cost cutting
    is a bad way to boost
    profits? That you
    shouldn't always give
    110%? Incentives don't
    encourage people to do
    useful things? So much of
    what we learn about
    business is plain wrong.
    It's time to challenge
    your assumptions and
    learn about the things
    that will help you be

A Pint of Plain - Tradition Change and the Fate of the Irish Pub
A Pint Of Plain - Tradition
Change And The Fate Of The
Irish Pub
    A Pint of Plain is a
    quest to chronicle the
    state of the Irish pub
    today, and thereby to
    examine Irish culture at
    a time of great change.
    When the American writer
    Bill Barich moved to
    Dublin, he began
    searching for a
    traditional pub to serve
    as his local. Although he
    had no shortage of
    choices, he had trouble
    finding one that measured
    up to the archetypal
    ideal portrayed in
    Ireland's literature and
    such iconic movies as The
    Quiet Man. That suggested
    something deeper was at
    play - a shift in the
    country's values and
    identity. As Barich
    roamed from hectic urban
    pubs to their dwindling
    rural counterparts, he
    met an array of
    extraordinary characters
    whose lives are bound up
    in the trade. He blends
    the history of Guinness
    into his account, and
    also explores the impact
    of the firms that export
    'authentic' Irish pubs
    around the world. A Pint
    of Plain will be
    irresistible to anyone
    who has been touched by
    Ireland and cares about
    its future.

The Armchair Economist: Economics & Everyday Life
The Armchair Economist:
Economics & Everyday Life
    Air bags cause accidents,
    because well-protected
    drivers take more risks.
    This well-documented
    truth comes as a surprise
    to most people, but not
    to economists, who have
    learned to take seriously
    the proposition that
    people respond to
    incentives. In The
    Armchair Economist,
    Steven E. Landsburg shows
    how the laws of economics
    reveal themselves in
    everyday experience and
    illuminate the entire
    range of human behaviour.
    Why does popcorn cost so
    much at the cinema? The
    'obvious' answer is that
    the owner has a monopoly,
    but if that were the
    whole story, there would
    also be a monopoly price
    to use the toilet. When a
    sudden frost destroys
    much of the Florida
    orange crop and prices
    skyrocket, journalists
    point to the 'obvious'
    exercise of monopoly
    power. Economists see
    just the opposite: If
    growers had monopoly
    power, they'd have
    raised prices before the
    frost. Why don't concert
    promoters raise ticket
    prices even when they are
    sure they will sell out
    months in advance? Why
    are some goods sold at
    auction and others at
    pre-announced prices? Why
    do boxes at the football
    sell out before the
    standard seats do? Why
    are bank buildings
    fancier than
    supermarkets? Why do
    corporations confer huge
    pensions on failed
    executives? Why don't
    firms require workers to
    buy their jobs? Landsburg
    explains why the obvious
    answers are wrong,
    reveals better answers,
    and illuminates the
    fundamental laws of human
    behaviour along the way.
    This is a book of
    surprises: a guided tour
    of the familiar,
    filtered through a
    decidedly unfamiliar
    lens. This is economics
    for the sheer
    intellectual joy of it.
