The real-life Nickel and Dimed—the author of the wildly popular “Poverty Thoughts” essay tells what it’s like to be working poor in America. ONE OF THE FIVE MOST IMPORTANT BOOKS OF THE YEAR--Esquire “DEVASTATINGLY SMART AND FUNNY. I am the author of Nickel and Dimed, which tells the story of my own brief attempt, as a semi-undercover journalist, to survive on low-wage retail and service jobs. TIRADO IS THE REAL THING.”—Barbara Ehrenreich, from the Foreword As the haves and have-nots grow more separate and unequal in America, the working poor don’t get heard from much. Now they have a voice—and it’s forthright, funny, and just a little bit furious. Here, Linda Tirado tells what it’s like, day after day, to work, eat, shop, raise kids, and keep a roof over your head without enough money. She also answers questions often asked about those who live on or near minimum wage: Why don’t they get better jobs? Why don’t they make better choices? Why do they smoke cigarettes and have ugly lawns? Why don’t they borrow from their parents? Enlightening and entertaining, Hand to Mouth opens up a new and much-needed dialogue between the people who just don’t have it and the people who just don’t get it.

Did you know that of every 100 employees hired, only 6 or 7 will ever be promoted to their first management position. If you're a manager now, and you probably are if you're reading this, "Congratulations!" You're one of the 7% who made it! That's the good news. Now, here's the bad news. Statistically speaking you won't be promoted again. The vast majority of these first time managers will eventually fail, and only 1 in 7 will stay in management with their present company for 5 years. Built to Lead is a "get-in-the-trenches with you, no-holds-barred" discussion about maximizing your ability to have an amazing management career. It tackles, head-on, the lies you've been told about how to reach the top in your company, and shows you what REALLY WORKS! David has reached the Top 10% in three separate industries, and the principles he teaches are universal, regardless of your industry. You'll read the stories of ordinary people (just like you), from managers, employees, and friends, who are very successful today as a result of listening to the advice contained in this book.

Roger McManus, a battle-scarred, veteran entrepreneur, teams up with Chef Mark Garcia to develop an entirely different perspective on the subject of restaurant ownership. Entrepreneurial Insanity in the Restaurant Business challenges the reader to keep the art of cooking and food design in perspective, but to get real about the business of selling food! The ideas in this book will forever change how the motivated restaurateur will view his or her profession -- and life. The concept behind the Entrepreneurial Insanity series rests on that premise; love what you do, but work toward having a life and a business that are separate entities. Chances are very good that someday these two entities will want (or need) to take divergent paths. Mark and Roger have created a book that makes the distinction between owning a restaurant and owning a business asset very clear. It is the difference between owning a small business and being an entrepreneur! This book lays out the case for, and the strategy by which, professional restaurateurs can grow their business and their freedom.
