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

A classic he-said-she-said romantic comedy! This updated anniversary edition offers story-behind-the-story revelations from author Wendelin Van Draanen. The first time she saw him, she flipped. The first time he saw her, he ran. That was the second grade, but not much has changed by the seventh. Juli says: “My Bryce. Still walking around with my first kiss.” He says: “It’s been six years of strategic avoidance and social discomfort.” But in the eighth grade everything gets turned upside down: just as Bryce is thinking that there’s maybe more to Juli than meets the eye, she’s thinking that he’s not quite all he seemed. This is a classic romantic comedy of errors told in alternating chapters by two fresh, funny voices. The updated anniversary edition contains 32 pages of extra backmatter: essays from Wendelin Van Draanen on her sources of inspiration, on the making of the movie of Flipped, on why she’ll never write a sequel, and a selection of the amazing fan mail she’s received.

My Wife Says . . . is a book about life, my life, and the humor that has found its way into it. Most of that humor comes from my wife, Carrie, and my daughter, Chantelle. Carrie's often unintentional wit, that I like to call "Carrieisms," tends to keep people in stitches and was the basis for this book. But the more Chantelle grew, the more like her mother she became and the more she found her way into it as well. Then I added a few more stories about other family members and it became My Life with Carrie: A Book of Carrisims and Other Tidbits Too. I felt that title was too wordy so I shortened it to My Wife Says . . . As I wrote this book I realized that my life is not without humor. A couple of my friends have said that this book offers the reader a glimpse into our family's daily life and the love that we share for each other and many agree that it would make a funny TV sitcom. So here it is, a collection of short stories and tidbits from our everyday life together, all true and sure to keep you laughing. So relax, read, laugh, and enjoy the humor that is My Wife Says . . . Reviews "This book is hilarious! A must read for anyone with a sense of humor. What a funny TV show this would make!" -John C. "Very funny stuff. I wish my family was this entertaining." -Laura B. "A must read. Hilariouslyfunny stories of a married couple with children where the husband never knows what will come out of their mouths. Be prepared to laugh out loud. Very entertaining stories of what is said in a very funny household. It's witty, funny, and very well written." -Jodi C. "I found this book to be very entertaining and at times made me laugh until my ribs ached. I have known Doug since elementary school and have always appreciated his dry, understated sense of humor. I have also been exposed to Carrie's unique perspective on many occasions and have actually heard her make some of the comments that are in this book.What I found when I readit was not a collection of sayings and stories, instead, it was a glimpse into Doug and Carrie's life, into their family, and the love they have for each other." -Ed H. "Well written, amusingly funny, and entertaining to say the least! Definitely Carrieisms at their finest!" -Deb H."

Making others laugh gratifies us in a very particular way and, since laughter is contagious, it amuses us too. It is common knowledge that laughter is very beneficial for our health. Some of its virtues are listed below: - It aids in the treatment of depression and anguish. - It stimulates adrenaline secretion, which improves imagination and creativity. - It causes the body to secrete endorphins, which act as sedatives for the brain. They can be compared to non-harmful, natural drugs without side effects that we can get as easily as laughing, and that causes us an analgesic effect; - It is an interesting exercise in which around four hundred muscles are involved, among which are some that are only exercised through laughter. For these reasons, jokes serve not only to have a good time but also positively affect our health and that of those around us. An important fact that must be taken into account is that laughter not only helps physical health but also psychological health. We can then say that a country that laughs is a country on the right track. This 'Jokes book' of our own is a work to break down your pressures in an answer of grins, laughs, and giggles.

ISBN: 1951627709

With the warmth and humor we've come to know, the creator and host of A Prairie Home Companion shares his own remarkable story. In That Time of Year, Garrison Keillor looks back on his life and recounts how a Brethren boy with writerly ambitions grew up in a small town on the Mississippi in the 1950s and, seeing three good friends die young, turned to comedy and radio. Through a series of unreasonable lucky breaks, he founded A Prairie Home Companion and put himself in line for a good life, including mistakes, regrets, and a few medical adventures. PHC lasted forty-two years, 1,557 shows, and enjoyed the freedom to do as it pleased for three or four million listeners every Saturday at 5 p.m. Central. He got to sing with Emmylou Harris and Renée Fleming and once sang two songs to the U.S. Supreme Court. He played a private eye and a cowboy, gave the news from his hometown, Lake Wobegon, and met Somali cabdrivers who’d learned English from listening to the show. He wrote bestselling novels, won a Grammy and a National Humanities Medal, and made a movie with Robert Altman with an alarming amount of improvisation. He says, “I was unemployable and managed to invent work for myself that I loved all my life, and on top of that I married well. That’s the secret, work and love. And I chose the right ancestors, impoverished Scots and Yorkshire farmers, good workers. I’m heading for eighty, and I still get up to write before dawn every day.”
