Book Description
Maira Kalman’s exuberant illustrations and humorous commentary bring design history to life in this inspired ABC book that celebrates thirty-one objects from the Cooper Hewitt, in time for its long-awaited reopening. "A. Ah-ha! There you Are." begins Maira Kalman’s joyfully illustrated romp through the treasures of Cooper Hewitt’s design collection. With her signature wit and warm humor, Kalman’s ABC book introduces children and adults to the myriad ways design touches our lives. Posing the question "If you were starting a museum, what would you put in your collection?", Kalman encourages the reader to put pen to paper and send in personal letters—an intimate, interactive gesture to top off her unique tour of the world of design. Objects ranging from a thirteenth-century silk thinking cap to 1889 tin slippers with bows, all the way to Gerrit Rietveld’s Zig-Zag chair are brought to colorful life. Kalman’s hand-lettered text is whimsical and universal in turns, drawing lessons as easily from a worn old boot as a masterpiece of midcentury modernism. Irresistibly, we are led to agree, "Everything is design."

Book Description
“Through this wonderful book, frustrated golfers can learn to swing like Moe [Norman] and improve their games.” —Anthony Robbins, #1 New York Times–bestselling author The mysterious and reclusive genius Moe Norman is acknowledged as the best ball-striker in the history of golf by many of the game’s greats. The Single Plane Golf Swing: Play Better Golf the Moe Norman Way reveals the secrets of the swing that enabled him to hit the ball solidly with unerring accuracy and consistency—every time. Norman’s simple, efficient, and easily understood Single Plane Swing has improved the games of thousands of golfers. Golf professional Todd Graves, known as “Little Moe” and regarded as the world authority on Norman’s swing, comprehensively teaches readers the mechanics, drills, and feelings of the Single Plane Swing that Moe called “The Feeling of Greatness.” Graves shares Norman’s brilliant insights and liberating approach to the game and demonstrates why the conventional “tour” swing is too complex and frustrating for the majority of amateurs. Illustrated with more than 300 photographs and written with Tim O’Connor, Norman’s biographer, the book also engagingly tells Norman’s bittersweet life story and explores the teacher-student bond forged between Norman and his protégé Graves. “One of golf’s greatest untold stories, Moe Norman’s life illustrated a simple and powerful truth: greatness is built from practicing the right swing in the right way. In this book, Todd Graves has given us a blueprint for that swing, for those practice habits, and most of all for a process that builds success.” —Dan Coyle, New York Times-bestselling author of The Culture Code

Book Description
Alex Boden did everything Rivonia Technology asked him to do. He streamlined his staff; he increased sales. He was a company man. His clients remained loyal and appreciated Alex's honesty and devotion. But there was a buyout, and Alex's job may be in jeopardy. The 'Ah Ha's" of Effective Relationships follows Alex through a journey of self-discovery. He wants a challenging job, one he can fully enjoy, but first he must learn how best to manage his relationships. His sources-a Board of Directors-are an unlikely and widely diverse group: a veterinarian, a CEO, a lawyer, an antiques dealer, and a principal. What Alex learns makes him a better sales manager, a better father, and a better husband. He comes to understand that, in the words of Gerald Prince, 'versatility is not an act; it's a habit practiced everyday." Explore these questions and find the answers with Alex: If people disagree with me what keeps them from speaking up? Doesn't everyone think the same way I do? Why are some people so confrontational? What do others think about the way I interact with them?

Book Description
LESS BLAH BLAH - MORE AH HA - How Social Savvy Real Estate Agents Become Trusted, Preferred, Referred -- and Rewarded. This Book Is for YOU If You Relate to One or More of These Groups. Lifelong Learners are always stretching, growing, and searching for interesting ways to renew and enhance their value. The strategies in this book will contribute to your ongoing curiosity and desire to excel mentally, creatively, and professionally. Aspirationals like to soak up fresh information, engage in new experiences, and glide forward towards mastery. In this book I'm offering you some new ways of thinking and acting that will help catapult you to higher, more tangibly rewarding levels of success. Temporary Strugglers feel frustrated and stuck? You're determined to succeed, but no matter how hard you work, it seems your sincere efforts lead to dead-end rejection and stuck-going-nowhere stress. What I want to assure you is this: It's not your fault!! More importantly, there's nothing wrong with you. The problem is that you've been mistaught, or you've on-your-own stumbled into the soul-sucking quicksand of doing the wrong things with the wrong people at the wrong time. In this book I share how you can immediately begin to enjoy the personal rewards of respect, trust, sweet success, and an income equal to your goals. Here's The Problem . . . Hateful real estate market conditions are traumatic enough without the compound fracture of sizzling competition and sky-high consumer expectations. Old school selfish-selling styles, along with chasing strangers, spamming friends, capturing leads and other unattractive behaviors, cause you and me and hundreds of thousands of real estate agents to struggle for relevance, value and self-respect. Here's The Solution . . . My book shines a flood light on how to create modern success and self-respect by focusing on others; how to listen, share, communicate and serve real people in the real world - a place where selfish sales strategies, arrogance and insensitivity are shunned. I'll lead you through the three stages of Social Savvy Success. In Stage One you discover the philosophical foundations for becoming more visible, choosable, and referable. In short, how to attract, instead of chase. In Chapters One to Eight you'll learn precisely what business you are really in; The Two True Secrets to Success; and the high-impact dynamics of Top of Mind Awareness. But as we all know, it's not enough just to know what to do. Most fail to get where they're trying to go because they get in their our own way. Stage Two of the book acknowledges and addresses the self-imposed emotional and mental obstacles that stop us moving forward. Chapters Nine through Thirteen cover how to face and consciously-conquer subconscious fears; slay self-doubt; why it's wise to use psychographics to connect with your tribes, networks, and niches; what The Golden Rule 2.0 is all about, and why we can't win without it. Of course no modern book would be complete without a chapter on how to ride the social media wave; enhance character-confirmation: and become discoverable, findable and sharable (aka, how to become omnipresent). Once we know how and why things work and how to get out of our own way, it's time to apply some practical, simple-to-follow ideas that will help you attract, discover, and create new opportunities. Stage Three (Chapters Fourteen to Twenty-Three) shares forty instantly implementable action events that put everything you've learned into play - becoming trusted, choosable, referable - and rewarded. Ready to get STARTED? Buy the book and away we GO, GO, GO.

Book Description
INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER "For anyone who wants to understand capitalism not as economists or politicians have pictured it but as it actually operates, this book will be invaluable."-Observer (UK) If you've wondered how we did not see the economic collapse coming, Ha-Joon Chang knows the answer: We didn't ask what they didn't tell us about capitalism. This is a lighthearted book with a serious purpose: to question the assumptions behind the dogma and sheer hype that the dominant school of neoliberal economists-the apostles of the freemarket-have spun since the Age of Reagan. Chang, the author of the international bestseller Bad Samaritans, is one of the world's most respected economists, a voice of sanity-and wit-in the tradition of John Kenneth Galbraith and Joseph Stiglitz. 23 Things They Don't Tell You About Capitalism equips readers with an understanding of how global capitalism works-and doesn't. In his final chapter, "How to Rebuild the World," Chang offers a vision of how we can shape capitalism to humane ends, instead of becoming slaves of the market.

Book Description
A beaut story about one very ugly kid. Robert Hoge was born with a tumour in the middle of his face, and legs that weren't much use. There wasn't another baby like him in the whole of Australia, let alone Brisbane. But the rest of his life wasn't so unusual: he had a mum and a dad, brothers and sisters, friends at school and in his street. He had childhood scrapes and days at the beach; fights with his family and trouble with his teachers. He had doctors, too: lots of doctors who, when he was still very young, removed that tumour from his face and operated on his legs, then stitched him back together. He still looked different, though. He still looked ... ugly. UGLY is the true story of how an extraordinary boy grew up to have an ordinary life, and how that became his greatest achievement of all.
