Book excerpt: From the creator of the popular website Ask a Manager and New York’s work-advice columnist comes a witty, practical guide to 200 difficult professional conversations—featuring all-new advice! There’s a reason Alison Green has been called “the Dear Abby of the work world.” Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don’t know what to say. Thankfully, Green does—and in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career. You’ll learn what to say when • coworkers push their work on you—then take credit for it • you accidentally trash-talk someone in an email then hit “reply all” • you’re being micromanaged—or not being managed at all • you catch a colleague in a lie • your boss seems unhappy with your work • your cubemate’s loud speakerphone is making you homicidal • you got drunk at the holiday party Praise for Ask a Manager “A must-read for anyone who works . . . [Alison Green’s] advice boils down to the idea that you should be professional (even when others are not) and that communicating in a straightforward manner with candor and kindness will get you far, no matter where you work.”—Booklist (starred review) “The author’s friendly, warm, no-nonsense writing is a pleasure to read, and her advice can be widely applied to relationships in all areas of readers’ lives. Ideal for anyone new to the job market or new to management, or anyone hoping to improve their work experience.”—Library Journal (starred review) “I am a huge fan of Alison Green’s Ask a Manager column. This book is even better. It teaches us how to deal with many of the most vexing big and little problems in our workplaces—and to do so with grace, confidence, and a sense of humor.”—Robert Sutton, Stanford professor and author of The No Asshole Rule and The Asshole Survival Guide “Ask a Manager is the ultimate playbook for navigating the traditional workforce in a diplomatic but firm way.”—Erin Lowry, author of Broke Millennial: Stop Scraping By and Get Your Financial Life Together

Download or read book Queen of Bebop written by Elaine M. Hayes and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2017-07-04 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Publishers Weekly Best Book of 2017 Washington Post Best Book of 2017 Amazon Editors' Top 100 Pick of the Year Amazon Best Humor and Entertainment Pick of the Year Booklist Top Ten Arts Book Queen of Bebop brilliantly chronicles the life of jazz singer Sarah Vaughan, one of the most influential and innovative musicians of the twentieth century and a pioneer of women’s and civil rights Sarah Vaughan, a pivotal figure in the formation of bebop, influenced a broad array of singers who followed in her wake, yet the breadth and depth of her impact—not just as an artist, but also as an African-American woman—remain overlooked. Drawing from a wealth of sources as well as on exclusive interviews with Vaughan’s friends and former colleagues, Queen of Bebop unravels the many myths and misunderstandings that have surrounded Vaughan while offering insights into this notoriously private woman, her creative process, and, ultimately, her genius. Hayes deftly traces the influence that Vaughan’s singing had on the perception and appreciation of vocalists—not to mention women—in jazz. She reveals how, in the late 1940s and early 1950s, Vaughan helped desegregate American airwaves, opening doors for future African-American artists seeking mainstream success, while also setting the stage for the civil rights activism of the 1960s and 1970s. She follows Vaughan from her hometown of Newark, New Jersey, and her first performances at the Apollo, to the Waldorf Astoria and on to the world stage, breathing life into a thrilling time in American music nearly lost to us today. Equal parts biography, criticism, and good old-fashioned American success story, Queen of Bebop is the definitive biography of a hugely influential artist. This absorbing and sensitive treatment of a singular personality updates and corrects the historical record on Vaughan and elevates her status as a jazz great.

Download or read book The Testimony of My Life written by Jesus Princess and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2023-03-31 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is the testimony of my life where I went through depression after a heartbreak. I was dating someone that I was sure that he was the will of God in my life. He first expressed his love for me, and after I expressed my love for him because, for the first time in my life, I found someone that my heart beats for. When I asked him to tell our parents about our relationship, he asked me to give him time. We were always together, and one night we went to the gym, and he gave me the news that depressed me. The news was that he didn't love me anymore, and he was back with his ex-girlfriend. My family didn't know about our relationship; they used to see me with him every day, sure but didn't know what was going on between us. When I didn't know what to do, I was seeking God, and after fasting got struck by a car. I had a traumatic brain injury, and when I felt my head open. They brought me to the hospital unconsciously. I spent months in a coma, while I was in a coma doctors gave me a five percent chance to wake up, and told my spiritual mother that I was dead. I had a lot of therapy such as physical, speech, cognitive, and occupational. I had a stroke that took the right side of my body. I was sent to rehabilitation from rehabilitation to nursing home, from nursing home to group home, and now after three years of treatment, I was discharged to my family. Now my family is trying to pressure me to get married because of my disability and age. I don't want to go through another heartache again, therefore I want to wait on the perfect will of God for my life patiently.
Download or read book This Time Next Year written by Liz Hinds and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012-04-11 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When her decree absolute arrives in the post with her 50th birthday cards Alison Turner wonders if middle age life can get any worse. When the highlights of the last year include being told off by the plumber for 'putting feminine items of hygiene down the lavatory', and her husband leaving her for a 28-year-old 'bimbo', it's easy to understand why Alison exclaims in her diary, 'I do not want another year like that. I must get a new plumber.' But if the romantic aspect of Alison's life leaves a lot to be desired (including sex, which is something the rest of her family appear to be enjoying) the everyday aspect is full of incident. In a year of well-intentioned ineptitude, as Alison records in her diary, she is thrown out of a pub for the first time in her life, begins to diet eight times (at least), finds out twelve unappealing things about dogs and discovers that first impressions can sometimes be misleading.

Book excerpt: Not many would dare to take challenging decisions in life when life itself is full of uncertainties and confusions. But I had to; may be because of my birth as the eldest daughter to a typical Indian middle class family which was surmounted by a variety of problems and the responsibilities attached therewith. But the Way I tread never deceived me, rather I was led to a glorious place called the Parliament of India about which I have never dreamt of. The Way is the inspiring account of my life which vividly portrays the struggles I had to face to reach this place from a humble beginning. Though circumstances were not in my favour, faith in God and willingness to move on with optimism helped me to achieve success in life. Jesus had been my counselor during the difficult period of life and set my Way because He Himself is the Way. My life is a wakeup call for the readers to move on in life in spite of various unfavorable situations and to assure that all the sorrows and uncertainties will be transformed into joy and peace soon.
