Book Description
What if excess stress was not a chronic, permanent condition to be "coped with" - but instead is a specific type of neurological programming, that could be CURED? What if what you've been taught about how to handle stress was wrong and neuroscience could offer you real solutions? Stress doesn't simply cause isolated symptoms like insomnia, headaches, or the occasional worry. Living with excess stress can ruin every area of our lives like mercury does to a pond. Until now, stress and how to cure it has been misunderstood. In her debut book, internationally renowned neuropsychologist Dr. Amy Serin sets the record straight about stress. New neuroscience shows the mechanisms behind the stress switch and how it can be de-activated in ways you haven't been told. This is a stress conversation that you have never heard before. The Stress Switch asks the question - 'Who would you be without your stress?' And then gives real answers as to how to change your life for the better.

Bait and Switch
Author: Barbara Ehrenreich
Publisher: Metropolitan Books
ISBN: 1429915706
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
The bestselling author of Nickel and Dimed goes back undercover to do for America's ailing middle class what she did for the working poor Barbara Ehrenreich's Nickel and Dimed explored the lives of low-wage workers. Now, in Bait and Switch, she enters another hidden realm of the economy: the shadowy world of the white-collar unemployed. Armed with a plausible résumé of a professional "in transition," she attempts to land a middle-class job—undergoing career coaching and personality testing, then trawling a series of EST-like boot camps, job fairs, networking events, and evangelical job-search ministries. She gets an image makeover, works to project a winning attitude, yet is proselytized, scammed, lectured, and—again and again—rejected. Bait and Switch highlights the people who've done everything right—gotten college degrees, developed marketable skills, and built up impressive résumés—yet have become repeatedly vulnerable to financial disaster, and not simply due to the vagaries of the business cycle. Today's ultra-lean corporations take pride in shedding their "surplus" employees—plunging them, for months or years at a stretch, into the twilight zone of white-collar unemployment, where job searching becomes a full-time job in itself. As Ehrenreich discovers, there are few social supports for these newly disposable workers—and little security even for those who have jobs. Like the now classic Nickel and Dimed, Bait and Switch is alternately hilarious and tragic, a searing exposé of economic cruelty where we least expect it.

Book Description
A hardcover edition of a top-selling paperback, The Little Book of Stress is a smart-alecky book that advises on ways to increase your stress level and the stress level of those around you. Calm is for wimps! Is stress really all that bad? Without it, could we get everything done, or would we just be sickeningly happy-go-lucky day in and day out? In The Little Book of Stress Rohan Candappa shows ways to actually increase the level of stress within you and those around you. Because without stress, life is boring. Increase your own stress levels and create stress in others with simple measures such as: * If you are stressed, make sure you communicate this to those around you. Soon they'll be stressed too. * Switch the decaffeinated and caffeinated coffees around whenever you can. * Always join in other people's arguments. Try to get others to join in too. * When you're the first car in line at a traffic light, get out and read a map. Try to miss the green light at least twice. * A double espresso just before bed is always a winner. * Replace your bulbs with overhead, neon-strip lights. If you can get ones that flicker, all the better. * If someone is telling you a joke and you know the punch line, wait until they've nearly finished, then tell them you've heard it before. * Ask single women if they've got a boyfriend yet. Repeat on Valentine's Day.

Slack
Author: Tom DeMarco
Publisher: Crown Currency
ISBN: 0767907698
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
If your company’s goal is to become fast, responsive, and agile, more efficiency is not the answer--you need more slack. Why is it that today’s superefficient organizations are ailing? Tom DeMarco, a leading management consultant to both Fortune 500 and up-and-coming companies, reveals a counterintuitive principle that explains why efficiency efforts can slow a company down. That principle is the value of slack, the degree of freedom in a company that allows it to change. Implementing slack could be as simple as adding an assistant to a department and letting high-priced talent spend less time at the photocopier and more time making key decisions, or it could mean designing workloads that allow people room to think, innovate, and reinvent themselves. It means embracing risk, eliminating fear, and knowing when to go slow. Slack allows for change, fosters creativity, promotes quality, and, above all, produces growth. With an approach that works for new- and old-economy companies alike, this revolutionary handbook debunks commonly held assumptions about real-world management, and gives you and your company a brand-new model for achieving and maintaining true effectiveness.
