How to Think on Your Feet Author: Woodall, Marian K. ISBN: 0-446-36413-4 Pages: 98 Format: Paperback Publisher: Warner Books Published: March 1, 1993 Condition: Price: USD $1.99 Manage Your Time Authors: Hindle, Tim / DK Publishing ISBN: 0-7894-2446-0 Pages: 72 Format: Paperback Publisher: DK ADULT Published: April 26, 1999 Condition: Price: USD $1.69 Amazon.com: We all might manage our time better if we could get everything done in as little time as it takes to digest this nifty, palm-size, 72-page quick-reference guide. Everything is covered here in a kind of how-to shorthand, from analyzing your current use of time, working out priorities, and using time planners to making instant changes (like filing paperwork, avoiding interruptions, "filtering" information, making and taking telephone calls, and reading and writing) and managing other people's time when you're the one in charge. You'll get jiffy-quick advice on using the latest technology to do more in less time, getting more out of your meeting minutes, and even remembering how to schedule time off. On every page, boxed tips, lively illustrations, and handy checklists and flow charts bring the ideas to life. Granted, if you're looking for very specific or in-depth guidance, you might find this book too cursory and general in its approach. But, if you're looking for a thumbnail guide to the basics, it'll do just fine. It's worth mentioning that the book is part of the "Essential Managers" series by reference publisher Dorling-Kindersley--a series comprising 20 itty-bitty books on business and career topics that range from communication, leadership, and decision-making to the management of time, budgets, change, meetings, people, projects, and teams. Combining the talent of the "For Dummies" book series for breaking down a lot of information into bite-sized bits and sidebars with Dorling-Kindersley's signature design style of crisp, classy graphics on a gleaming white backdrop, the books don't represent the cutting edge of business thinking or reflect necessarily any unique individual perspective. Instead, it's as if someone had collated the best general thinking on these 20 topics, and rolled them out into 72 brightly designed and easy-to-read pages--studded along the way with boxed tips, color shots of a multiracial cast of "coworkers" animatedly hashing through the workplace issues of the day, and, on the last few pages of each volume, a self-test of one's skills in the topic at hand. Again, they're not for anyone who's looking for more in-depth or focused help on any of the covered subjects, but they're perfect as a quick general-interest reference; and, let's face it, they're so damn cute, and look so smart in a neat little stack or row, that probably you'll want to buy a whole bunch to give as gifts to your entire staff or department. --Timothy Murphy Book Description: Indispensable tips for managing that most precious commodity -- time. The most finite resource any manager has is time. This handbook teaches readers how to save and preserve their time by first understanding its limitations, and then showing them how to guard it. Practical guidance includes ways of limiting interaction with subordinates ("Don't sit down if you are followed into your office." "Place your chair out of view if your door is open."), the benefits of keeping a time log, and how to chose the best time planner. The book also takes full advantage of modern technology by explaining how to maximize e-mail, voicemail and other tools available to save precious time. The Essential Manager have sold more than 1.9 million copies worldwide! Experienced and novice managers alike can benefit from these compact guides that slip easily into a briefcase or a portfolio. The topics are relevant to every work environment, from large corporations to small businesses. Concise treatments of dozens of business techniques, skills, methods, and problems are presented with hundreds of photos, charts, and diagrams. It is the most exciting and accessible approach to business and self-improvement available.

The Miracle of Psycho-Command Power The new way to riches, love, and happiness Author: Reed, Scott ISBN: 0-13-585679-5 Pages: 221 Format: Hardcover Publisher: Simon & Schuster Published: March 1972 Condition: Price: USD $1.99 When Someone You Love Is Depressed Authors: Rosen, Laura Epstein / Amador, Xavier F. ISBN: 0-684-82407-8 Pages: 272 Format: Hardcover Publisher: Free Press Published: September 6, 1996 Condition: Price: USD $1.99 From Library Journal: Feeling overburdened by your elderly depressed mother? Or maybe you're a parent worried about your withdrawn son. In either instance, this latest title from Rosen, director of family therapy at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center, can help. Rosen's work is not as much about the causes and symptoms of depression as about how depression affects relationships. The author's ultimate goal is to help readers learn strategies to counter interaction problems, and she succeeds in this attempt. This empowering title will help readers and their loved one to speed their recovery and to safeguard the relationship against the weight of depression. Every chapter provides step-by-step guidelines for countering the negative effects of depression; special circumstances such as substance abuse or suicidal inclinations are also addressed. From Booklist Those unfortunate souls who suffer from clinical depression experience extended periods of bleakness so intense it can render them unable to function. But other victims of this disease include the spouses, families, and friends of the depressed, and it is for them that psychologists Rosen and Amador have written this hopeful and empowering guide. When a loved one is afflicted with depression, it is not uncommon for those around them to feel anger, frustration, and despair. Physical ailments are common, too. After showing how to recognize depression in someone else, the authors discuss ways for friends and family to safeguard their own mental and physical health while aiding the depressed person. One key is to appreciate the inevitable communication problems between depressed people and others and to then work through this difficulty. Throughout, the message is that self-education leads to positive change. Brian McCombie When Food Is Love Exploring the Relationship Between Eating and Intimacy Author: Roth, Geneen ISBN: 0-452-26818-4 Pages: 224 Format: Paperback Publisher: Plume Published: July 1, 1992 Condition: Price: USD $1.69 From Publishers Weekly: This is the fourth book ( Feeding the Hungry Heart, etc.) generated by the seminars Roth conducts at her Berkeley, Calif., home for people who believe that if they were thin, they would be happy. But the author makes clear that losing weight doesn't automatically gain one success, respect and love. Roth's personal story and those of her clients as related here exemplify the need to discover why the overweight are addicted to food. Citing her own deprived childhood, the author demonstrates that gluttons seek the reliable comforts of eating instead of closeness with humans who might become abusive (like her mother) or vanish (like her father). Those bent on self-improvement will find that the book merely repeats well-known principles in a melodramatic fashion.

Love, Medicine and Miracles Lessons Learned about Self-Healing from a Surgeon's Experience with Exceptional Patients Author: Siegel, Bernie S. ISBN: 0-06-091983-3 Pages: 256 Format: Paperback Publisher: Harper Paperbacks Published: June 6, 1990 Condition: Price: USD $1.69 From Library Journal: Siegel, a New Haven surgeon, believes that the power of healing stems from the human mind and will, that his scalpel only buys time against cancer, and that self-love and determination are more important than choice of therapy. His philosophy has caused radical changes in his practice. Siegel recounts many arresting anecdotes: joyous stories of patients who survived against all odds, sad chronicles of those who seemingly gave up and assented to their own deaths. The author's credentials make this one of the more plausible books on the mind-body connection. For most public libraries and holistic health collections. Judith Eannarino, George Washington Univ.

Among them are recollections of Diane, who began overeating after she gave up her baby for adoption; wheelchair-bound Donna; and Simmons himself, whose attempts to diet proved futile until he devised his Deal-a-Meal program.

Simmons's enthusiasm, empathy and gentle humor should motivate the heavy of heart (and flesh). Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc. Focus On Your Dream Author: Smith, Jeffrey D.

Revolution from Within Author: Steinem, Gloria ISBN: 0-316-81247-1 Pages: 432 Format: Paperback Publisher: Little, Brown and Company Published: January 20, 1993 Condition: Price: USD $1.69 From Library Journal: One of the founding mothers of contemporary feminism has written a self-help book that utterly transcends the genre. In lucid prose that is by turns brave and funny and tender, Steinem takes us on a journey of circles and spirals because, as she says, "If we think of ourselves as circles, our goal is completion . . . if we think of work structures as circles . . . progress means mutual support and connectedness." Drawing from sources that range from Margaret Mead to Chief Seattle (Sealth), from Alice Walker to the Upanishads, as well as from her own life and the lives of her friends and colleagues, she provides a series of pathways to self-esteem. Steinem's book unfolds like a flower: it offers literature, art, nature, meditation, and connectedness as ways of finding and exploring the self. Her message is that it is our very selves that we need to trust, despite educational and societal pressures that may denigrate the female experience. Her focus is women, but she is clear that what she has to say is for men, too, and she is neither strident nor dismissive. Recommended for all collections. - GraceAnne A.
