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

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An expert in business turnaround shares his inspiring approach to problem-solving: “A fascinating read” (Mitt Romney). Visionary leader Greg Brenneman believes that true business success and personal fulfillment are two sides of the same coin. The techniques that will grow your business will also help you achieve a rich, purposeful, and integrated life. Here, Brenneman takes what he’s learned from turning around or tuning up many businesses—including Continental Airlines and Burger King—and distills it into a simple, clear, five-step roadmap that anyone can follow. He teaches you how to: *prepare a succinct Go Forward plan *build a fortress balance sheet *grow your sales and profits *choose all-star servant leaders *empower your team For more than thirty years, Brenneman has seen these steps foster dramatic results in a variety of business environments. But he also came to realize that he could apply these same principles to improve his life and build a lasting moral legacy. He found he could make better decisions by carefully taking the most important facets of his life—faith, family, friendship, fitness, and finance—into consideration. Brenneman’s inspiring examples, from both his business and his life, demonstrate the astounding effects these steps can have when you apply them—right away and all at once.

Book excerpt: *NOW A NETFLIX LIMITED SERIES—from producer and director Shawn Levy (Stranger Things) starring Mark Ruffalo, Hugh Laurie, and newcomer Aria Mia Loberti* Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award finalist, the beloved instant New York Times bestseller and New York Times Book Review Top 10 Book about a blind French girl and a German boy whose paths collide in occupied France as both try to survive the devastation of World War II. Marie-Laure lives with her father in Paris near the Museum of Natural History where he works as the master of its thousands of locks. When she is six, Marie-Laure goes blind and her father builds a perfect miniature of their neighborhood so she can memorize it by touch and navigate her way home. When she is twelve, the Nazis occupy Paris, and father and daughter flee to the walled citadel of Saint-Malo, where Marie-Laure’s reclusive great uncle lives in a tall house by the sea. With them they carry what might be the museum’s most valuable and dangerous jewel. In a mining town in Germany, the orphan Werner grows up with his younger sister, enchanted by a crude radio they find. Werner becomes an expert at building and fixing these crucial new instruments, a talent that wins him a place at a brutal academy for Hitler Youth, then a special assignment to track the Resistance. More and more aware of the human cost of his intelligence, Werner travels through the heart of the war and, finally, into Saint-Malo, where his story and Marie-Laure’s converge. Doerr’s “stunning sense of physical detail and gorgeous metaphors” (San Francisco Chronicle) are dazzling. Deftly interweaving the lives of Marie-Laure and Werner, he illuminates the ways, against all odds, people try to be good to one another. Ten years in the writing, All the Light We Cannot See is a magnificent, deeply moving novel from a writer “whose sentences never fail to thrill” (Los Angeles Times).

Book excerpt: Victory is sweet. Victory is hard fought. Victory is mine. And once I claim her, I'm never letting go. I met Tori when she was there to support my twin. Seeing how much she cared started my headlong fall into love. And I started my campaign. Women have always come easily to me. But sex and love are two different things, and while Tori's willing to indulge in the former, she's fighting against our building love. And she's got a knockout punch in her arsenal.

Dream with me! A part of the book: Chapter 1. Memories Agents at the door, a car accident, Erik dead, a dark hole into which she had fallen silently. She had been dreaming, it couldn't be true, it shouldn't be true! She woke up sweating, sweating from the heat of this summer day at the end of August, but even more from the dream itself. And yet she was cold, she felt the chill of death. She realised that she had indeed been dreaming, a dream that took her back to exactly one year ago, the day those policemen had actually come to the door with their message of doom. Erik was no more, it was over, her great love was gone, never again together, never, never, never again... Never again, that was the steep slide into darkness... Silently she slipped out of bed, took her clothes to the bathroom where she freshened up and got dressed. She crept down the stairs to the kitchen, made a mug of coffee and sat down in her rocking chair with it. She stared outside, where it was already starting to get a little light. She had no idea what time it was, but she didn't care. In fact, everything passed her by at the moment. She looked, but saw nothing in depth. She thought only of Erik, the great love of her youth. In fact, he had been that since her early childhood, the boy with whom she had a click, who understood her, who felt her. The boy who was there for her, and for whom she would give her young life! Other children had teased them, bullied them, but it had hardly touched her, because Erik was there. They were together, and together they were fine. She had lost track of him for a few years, because he went to high school a few years earlier. She felt alone during those years. But he was also the young boy who showed her when she was fifteen, who made her feel that she was good, and especially that she was loved, that she was loved by him, that she was his everything. He had never forgotten her! Erik, the man she had married, because she knew that she loved him with her whole heart and wanted to share her life only with him. The man who helped her through her traumas, her sadness, her pain, her fears. She had not realised before that there was so much in her that had been lost! Erik knew, from the depths of his soul, what she needed to heal emotionally. His inner voice gave him directions that sometimes seemed so contrary, but of which she could say afterwards that it was precisely those contrary things that had pulled a lot of shit loose from her wounds, so that those wounds could heal. It took months for her to finally feel like she was discovering herself, for the first time in her life. Through Erik and her process she finally came to realise that she was an amazing woman, a woman of potential, with an enormous love and power within her, with a desire to help others in their process of inner healing. And she rediscovered what she loved so much: cooking and baking, and being with people, being there for them. That was when Erik got plans to start a guesthouse. He had previously had all kinds of jobs, jobs that he did because he needed to earn a living, but in which he could hardly put his heart into. He loved working with his hands, building things, preferably with wood. And he especially loved people, dealing with people. He had a clear goal, for as long as she had known him: helping people on their way. Not like he had done with her, guiding her for months and months, but helping them on their way, so that they themselves could continue in their own process, in their search..

Book excerpt: With a nod to the styles of science fiction greats such as Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, and Larry Niven, Temporal Destiny is the gripping third and final installment of Robert Schulman’s science fiction trilogy, .99999. This exciting science fiction adventure delivers pandemic, time travel, wormhole technology, an advanced alien race, and an Earth 10,000 years in the future. Since Wyoming where Jack and Jen discovered a transportive alien artifact, the paleontologist and his rising-star astrophysicist girlfriend-ish, along with their fellow six crewmen, have discovered that they were pre-selected by the future residents of Earth to solve a myriad of problems threatening a human population decimated by pandemic. Their exploration of the inner-ring of the galaxy reveals the existence of the Balocks, a super-advanced race of DNA manipulators who abandoned the galaxy—leaving inorganic beings bent on their destruction locked away behind them. In the final book of the .99999 series, set ten years after the ‘arrival’ of the team, things really heat up. Through a confluence of unlikely events, the crew has an opportunity to save one race and help another. In doing so, they instigate a galaxy-encompassing war. The time-traveling team must learn a hard lesson—the universe always collects a toll on the unintended consequences of time displacements.
