The Myth of Multitasking How "Doing It All" Gets Nothing Done - Dave Crenshaw
"In a compelling business fable, The Myth of Multitasking confronts a popular idea that has come to define our hectic work-a-day world. This simple yet powerful book shows clearly why multitasking is, in fact, a lie that wastes time and costs money. Far from being efficient, multitasking actually damages productivity and relationships at work and at home."
"Crucial Conversations gives you the tools to handle life's most difficult and important conversations. You'll learn how to: prepare for high stakes situations; transform anger and hurt feelings into powerful dialogue; make it safe to talke about almost anything; be persuasive, not abrasive."
"Blessed Unrest is the story of what is going right in this world, an account of how people use imagination, conviction, and resilience to perform daily miracles of redefining our relationship to the environment and to one another."
Social Intelligence: The Revolutionary New Science of Human Relationships - Daniel Goleman
"Exciting new science confirms our deepest intuitions: Good relationships nourish us and support our health, while toxic relationships can poison us. And our success and happiness on the job, in our marriages and families, even our ability to live in peace, depend crucially on the emotional radar and specific skills that Daniel Goleman defines in this groundbreaking book."
The Sexual Paradox - Susan Pinker
"As entertaining as it is provocative and enlightening, The Sexual Paradox reveals how fundamental sex differences influence male and female ambition and career choices, and lend new meaning to the phrase "the opposite sex.""
