Book Description
Bill and Giuliana Rancic are now the hosts of NBC’s Ready for Love, a new relationship show featuring three of America’s most eligible guys searching for their soul mates. Five million viewers tuned in to The Style Network for Giuliana DePandi and Bill Rancic’s fairy tale wedding in Italy, as the passions, tears, and champagne flowed. But what happened once the honeymoon was over? After all, she’s been stationed in Los Angeles as one of E! Entertainment’s most popular personalities, and he’s kept his home in Chicago, where this handsome winner of The Apprentice has been busy running an empire of his own. How, we’ve wondered, is this marriage really working out? With all the funny, frank, and characteristically down-to-earth personality that fans of their hit reality show, Giuliana & Bill, have come to adore, this glamorous couple takes you behind the scenes of their real-life marriage. Like all newlyweds, they’ve faced the big issues that wedlock manages to invite, including money (to merge or not?), household chores (she’s disorganized, he’s a neat freak), arguments (without staying mad), and trying to have a baby (it’s not as easy as they thought!). Sharing their newfound and sometimes hard-won insights, they offer suggestions on such topics as communication, giving and receiving support, trust and jealousy, quality time, friends and in-laws, fighting fair, and sex and romance. A must-read for newly married couples, or those about to take the plunge, or anyone who wants to know the secrets of everlasting love, I Do, Now What? is an upbeat real-world resource for the most ambitious journey of a couple’s life: marriage!

Book Description
I was inspired to write this book because I realized that I was not alone. Unfortunately, at the time I was going through this difficult time, thats not the way I felt. Timing was not on my side. I was hit from every sidedivorce, single parenting, newborn, job loss, my mothers death, bankruptcy, mental meltdown, etc. So after all this, I was mum to life and felt that life had dealt me an unfair hand. I felt I was a good person. I went to church, I feed the poor, I help with orphan children, I was a faithful wife and a pretty good mom, etc. Yet my life fell down like a wall hit by a bomb. I hope this book helps you to understand that you have it in you to make it. So lets begin you, survivor. You might not feel like one, but if you are reading this book, this is your new journey. I will see you at the finish line.

Book Description
This is not a book about one thing. It's not a 250-page dissertation on leadership, teams or motivation. Instead, it's an agenda for building organizations that can flourish in a world of diminished hopes, relentless change and ferocious competition. This is not a book about doing better. It's not a manual for people who want to tinker at the margins. Instead, it's an impassioned plea to reinvent management as we know it—to rethink the fundamental assumptions we have about capitalism, organizational life, and the meaning of work. Leaders today confront a world where the unprecedented is the norm. Wherever one looks, one sees the exceptional and the extraordinary: Business newspapers decrying the state of capitalism. Once-innovative companies struggling to save off senescence. Next gen employees shunning blue chips for social start-ups. Corporate miscreants getting pilloried in the blogosphere. Entry barriers tumbling in what were once oligopolistic strongholds. Hundred year-old business models being rendered irrelevant overnight. Newbie organizations crowdsourcing their most creative work. National governments lurching towards bankruptcy. Investors angrily confronting greedy CEOs and complacent boards. Newly omnipotent customers eagerly wielding their power. Social media dramatically transforming the way human beings connect, learn and collaborate. Obviously, there are lots of things that matter now. But in a world of fractured certainties and battered trust, some things matter more than others. While the challenges facing organizations are limitless; leadership bandwidth isn't. That's why you have to be clear about what really matters now. What are the fundamental, make-or-break issues that will determine whether your organization thrives or dives in the years ahead? Hamel identifies five issues are that are paramount: values, innovation, adaptability, passion and ideology. In doing so he presents an essential agenda for leaders everywhere who are eager to... move from defense to offense reverse the tide of commoditization defeat bureaucracy astonish their customers foster extraordinary contribution capture the moral high ground outrun change build a company that's truly fit for the future Concise and to the point, the book will inspire you to rethink your business, your company and how you lead.

Now What? is a collection of 10 short stories by Franz Weinschenk – Some are historically significant; some sad; some funny; some enlightening; all entertaining. They Are “Accentuate the Positive”: And what do you suppose happens when the college gets accredited by professors like Dr. Lafcadia Weltgeist? “Homecoming”: You wonder, “Now What?” as the Nazi-brownshirt searches for you and your mother who are hiding in a closet. “Just Another Day At The Office”: With the storm raging full force and the electricity off all over campus, how are you going to get those two students out of that in-between floors stuck elevator? “Memories of Brooklyn”: When first coming to America, they lived in Brooklyn. Wonderful memories – Dewey Junior High, yo-yo's, handball, Red Barber and the Brooklyn Dodgers, sewing shoulder pads, not to forget the girls jumping rope: “Lulu had a baby- She named him Tiny Tim- Put him in a . . . . pot, to teach him how to swim.” “Norm”: Nobody works harder or longer than Norm as he tells us what he thinks go into making “a really good man.” “Madera”: The family decides to move from New York to Madera, California, so that Father can have a bookkeeping job at $80 a month and a house for his family to live in free. “The Marimba Band”: “Now What?” when there is a ton of opposition to a tiny one-unit class for students who want to play in a marimba band? “If Music Be The Food Of Love, Play On” says William Shakespeare. But if, while you and your fellow musicians are playing, the family that lives right above you lowers a Nazi flag so that the huge swastika in its center is right in the middle of your front window, “Now What?” “Chris” is an art teacher already very much against the war in Vietnam. One night, he has his students launch balloons with anti-war propaganda on them. And that upsets just about everybody. “Become a 'Late Bloomer' Like It Says in the Brochure”: Paul, who's been a severe stutterer for 36 years, takes Mr. Purcell's English class and gets so mad at him, that for the first time in his whole life, he starts talking.

Book Description
Self-Destruction is not pretty and it can be painful as hell. Trust me! Life gives us so many nudges and clues on when we are on the path of self-destruction. If we truly pay attention, we can change the path and reroute accordingly. Life is even so good to us that even when we ignore the clues and nudges, it will stop us right where we are in our tracks, and demand our full attention The pages you are about to read, reflect the stories and lessons of what I call the flip side. The flip side of when I was stopped in my tracks and rerouted. The flip side reflects the path after my own Journey to Unconditional Self Love.
