From the creator of the popular website Ask a Manager and New York’s work-advice columnist comes a witty, practical guide to 200 difficult professional conversations—featuring all-new advice! There’s a reason Alison Green has been called “the Dear Abby of the work world.” Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don’t know what to say. Thankfully, Green does—and in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career. You’ll learn what to say when • coworkers push their work on you—then take credit for it • you accidentally trash-talk someone in an email then hit “reply all” • you’re being micromanaged—or not being managed at all • you catch a colleague in a lie • your boss seems unhappy with your work • your cubemate’s loud speakerphone is making you homicidal • you got drunk at the holiday party Praise for Ask a Manager “A must-read for anyone who works . . . [Alison Green’s] advice boils down to the idea that you should be professional (even when others are not) and that communicating in a straightforward manner with candor and kindness will get you far, no matter where you work.”—Booklist (starred review) “The author’s friendly, warm, no-nonsense writing is a pleasure to read, and her advice can be widely applied to relationships in all areas of readers’ lives. Ideal for anyone new to the job market or new to management, or anyone hoping to improve their work experience.”—Library Journal (starred review) “I am a huge fan of Alison Green’s Ask a Manager column. This book is even better. It teaches us how to deal with many of the most vexing big and little problems in our workplaces—and to do so with grace, confidence, and a sense of humor.”—Robert Sutton, Stanford professor and author of The No Asshole Rule and The Asshole Survival Guide “Ask a Manager is the ultimate playbook for navigating the traditional workforce in a diplomatic but firm way.”—Erin Lowry, author of Broke Millennial: Stop Scraping By and Get Your Financial Life Together

First impressions can be truly deceiving... Is it possible the brash doctor might be worth a second look?

However, my heart—and other parts—don’t seem to care about clichés... Jason I have more important things to do than bail out an attractive new colleague, but I need her. Carmen is my only hope in convincing the Miami-Dade board to overlook my tarnished reputation—and she makes me feel optimistic again.

Writers write—but what do they do for money? In a widely read essay entitled "MFA vs NYC," bestselling novelist Chad Harbach (The Art of Fielding) argued that the American literary scene has split into two cultures: New York publishing versus university MFA programs. This book brings together established writers, MFA professors and students, and New York editors, publicists, and agents to talk about these overlapping worlds, and the ways writers make (or fail to make) a living within them. Should you seek an advanced degree, or will workshops smother your style? Do you need to move to New York, or will the high cost of living undo you? What's worse—having a day job or not having health insurance? How do agents decide what to represent? Will Big Publishing survive? How has the rise of MFA programs affected American fiction? The expert contributors, including George Saunders, Elif Batuman, and Fredric Jameson, consider all these questions and more, with humor and rigor. MFA vs NYC is a must-read for aspiring writers, and for anyone interested in the present and future of American letters.
Pro- and anti-inflammatory actions in coronary artery disease by Ida Bergström Pdf
¨The atherosclerotic process is considered to be driven by an imbalance between proand anti-inflammatory actions. Still, the inflammatory state in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) remains to be clarified. Annexin A1 (AnxA1) is a glucocorticoidinduced protein which may have a key role in the anti-inflammatory response as a mediator of glucocorticoid effects. The general aim of this thesis was to deepen the knowledge of pro- and antiinflammatory mechanisms in CAD via phenotypic assessments of immune cell subsets, in particular CD56+ T cells, and exploration of AnxA1. The long-term goal is to reveal basic mechanisms that will lead to the development of biomarkers, which may be used for individualized treatment and monitoring. The AnxA1 protein was constitutively expressed in both neutrophils and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). However, it varied considerably across PBMC subsets, being most abundantly expressed in monocytes. The AnxA1 expression was also higher in CD56+ T cells than in CD56- T cells. The expression of total AnxA1 protein in neutrophils was higher in patients with stable angina (SA) compared with controls. However, this was not accompanied by altered neutrophil activation status. Instead, the neutrophils from patients exhibited an enhanced anti-inflammatory response to exogenous AnxA1, emphasizing the potential of AnxA1 as an inhibitor of neutrophil activity. Only patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) showed an increase in cell surface-associated AnxA1. CAD patients, independent of clinical presentation, had increased proportions of CD56+ T cells compared with controls, a phenomenon likely to represent immunological aging. The CD56+ T cells were found to exhibit a distinct proinflammatory phenotype compared with CD56- T cells. In all T cell subsets, the expression of cell surface-associated AnxA1 was significantly increased in ACS patients, while it tended to be increased in post-ACS patients. In addition, dexamethasone clearly inhibited activation of CD56+ T cells in in vitro assays, whereas AnxA1 did not. The findings highlight the need to clarify whether the role of AnxA1 is different in T cells than in innate immune cells. In PBMCs, the mRNA levels of AnxA1 were increased in CAD patients, particularly in ACS patients. Correspondingly, the monocytes in ACS patients exhibited increased AnxA1 protein levels, both totally and on the cell surface. However, only cell surface-associated AnxA1 in monocytes correlated with the glucocorticoid sensitivity of PBMCs ex vivo. We propose the expression of cell surfaceassociated AnxA1 to be a promising candidate marker of glucocorticoid sensitivity, which needs further investigations in larger cohorts and intervention trials. Furthermore, the fact that PBMCs in post-ACS patients exhibited pro-inflammatory activity but no increase in cell surface-associated AnxA1 allow us to speculate that the glucocorticoid action and/or availability might be insufficient in these patients.

Gisele Aubin, a driven professional in her field was more often on airplanes than home. Always on the run, she left no time for a life. Her most faithful companion was her BlackBerry, and she had started thinking about dumping it. When the company she works for was sold, Gisele knew the time had come to make the changes she needed. At that point, jumping off the corporate ladder seemed to be her best way out. But when Gisele made her landing, she realized that her challenges were not those she had expected. She had no idea what to do next. In this memoir, author Gisele Aubin shares her experience of turning her career around in order to create a more fulfilling life. Building on the knowledge gained through her experiences, Gisele provides an insight into what to expect when creating the successful change needed in your life. And it’s not what you think. Her message is that change is incremental and manageable if you are willing to take it one day at a time, let go of who you think you ought to be, and become the person you truly are.
Is a person with both a white and African American parent black? Thirty years ago in American society the answer would have been yes. Today, the answer most likely depends on whom you ask. According to the U.S. Census, a person with both a black and a white parent is, in fact, black. However, most young persons who fit this description describe themselves as biracial, both black and white. Most young Americans, whatever their racial background, agree. Since the Voting Rights Act of 1965 signaled the culmination of the Civil Rights Movement, a transformation has occured in the racial self-definition of Americans with both an African American and a white parent. This book describes the transformation and explains why it has occurred and how it has come about. Through extensive research and dozens of interviews, Korgen describes how the transformation has its roots in the historical and cultural transitions in U.S. society since the Civil Rights era. A ground breaking book, From Black to Biracial will help all Americans understand the societal implications of the increasingly multiracial nature of our population. From affirmative action to the present controversy over the U.S. Census 2000, the repercussions of the transformation in racial identity related here affect all race-based aspects of our society. Students and faculty in sociology and multicultural studies, business leaders, and general readers alike will benefit from reading this work.
I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die by Sarah J. Robinson Pdf
A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.
Emotional Incest in Group Psychotherapy by Robert S. Pepper Pdf
Emotional Incest in Group Psychotherapy: A Conspiracy of Silence is unique in the field of analytic group psychotherapy. Many books assume that the frame of therapy, the boundary between what is and isn’t therapy, is a given. This book treats the frame as a variable, showing that alterations to the frame have consequences. A moral dilemma exists when leaders choose to operate outside the ethics and wisdom of the field. The spoken directive to "say everything" is obviated by the unspoken directive not to, and hence a conspiracy of silence is created. There is potential for iatrogenic treatment reactions, constituting an abuse of power. There are at least seven dangers of blurring the boundary between therapy and not therapy: 1. Breaches of confidentiality; 2. Looping; 3. The pass along effect; 4. Gaslighting; 5. Overstimulation; 6. ‘The emperor’s new clothes’ effect; and 7. Scapegoating. Emotional Incest in Group Psychotherapy illustrates the need to avoid these seven dangers and effectively help therapists work within the group setting. Professional organizations that provide the opportunity for members to openly address their concerns about blurred boundaries in group treatment can help to mitigate their negative effects.
