Book Description
“So, Is Retirement Supposed To Suck?” is a must-read for anyone who plans on retiring someday. It speaks of author George M. Dean’s pitfalls, and how others can learn from his mistakes. This book is divided into two sections: In the first part, George recalls some of the more damaging memories from his childhood such as—his father using him as a human connection to the rabbit-ears on top of the TV. Or perhaps the time he was busted in school, by one of the nuns, for perusing through a Playboy magazine—instead of studying. You can only imagine… The second part, explains why retirement is not what it’s cracked up to be. According to George, it’s the people. No, not normal people like you and me—but those that work for major corporations, and seem to get off on responding in the most negative patterns. You’ll hear a lot of “Sorry, that’s not our policy”, or “Sir, I’m afraid that would be against protocol, so…no!” Anyone nearing retirement is sure to enjoy this humorous and honest account of our authors’ experiences.

Book Description
In a story so explosive that he can only tell it as fiction, former counterintelligence special agent David DeBatto takes us onto a new kind of battlefield, beyond the reach of reporters, and into the covert ops of elite tactical intelligence teams. Their number one job: to pierce the secrets of an enemy -- before the enemy reaches us . . . Staff Sgt. David DeLuca had a love/hate relationship with the Armed Forces. Then came 9/11. After a career as a street cop, he went to war-and put his skills to work in a secret army within an army. Part detective, con man, spy, and soldier, DeLuca is now hunting a Saddam loyalist Centcom thought was dead. To catch his prey, he'll have to outmaneuver him using microscopic forensic evidence, high-tech espionage tools, and gut instincts. But as he follows a deadly trail out of the Sunni Triangle into Iran, a horrifying picture is coming clear to DeLuca and his elite "red" team: a terrorist group already has its fangs in the USA -- and needs to be hunted down and eliminated right now . . .

Does This Clutter Make My Butt Look Fat?

Pages : 259

Book Description
In much the same way that a cluttered home can stop you from living your best life, it can also sabotage your best efforts at controlling your weight. Most people who diet don't just go on one diet and succeed; they go on three or five or ten. And for most people, the diets fail because most diets are only about losing weight - they don't drill down into why you are carrying that weight around and why you want to lose it. In his years as a professional organiser, Walsh found time and time again that people hid their real problems behind their "stuff." Peter believes that the secret to understanding how you got here and how to fix it all starts with one simple question: "Are you living the life you imagined?" Weight loss is much simpler when you can focus not on the excess baggage of the kilos, but on how your weight is holding you back from being the person of your dreams. Does This Clutter Make My Butt Look Fat?will show you how to redefine your relationship to what you own and consume, and in so doing, redefine how you live your life. Once you understand the reasons behind the clutter and chaos in your home and your eating habits, you can take control of your kitchen, your pantry and your refrigerator to achieve a healthy balance. Often a guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show, Peter Walsh is also the author of the New York Timesbestseller It's All Too Much.

Chris Zell has condensed years of customer service experience into a tome that lays out what to expect once you cross the portals into the world of customer service. Turns out, not much. In a land filled with back-stabbing workers, ineffective management, uncaring corporations and the slime that keeps this netherworld together, customers, you should enter with your eyes open, heart pre-hardened, and liver prepared for serious post-work drinking. Zell gives you the weapons to navigate through the soul-sucking landscape that you will long to escape. He'll tell you how to deal with managers (treat them like mushrooms - keep 'em in the dark, feed 'em shit); co-workers (create a fake identity because if they find out who you are the real trouble begins); and customers (have you played the 'Why?' game with a kid? They're that annoying).
