Publisher's Summary:

Attempting to better themselves, learn new skills, and break bad habits, people read books, attend seminars, and take training courses. But in spite of what they sincerely believe are their best efforts, their behavior doesn't change. It's an endless source of frustration for organizations and individuals.

Because people who have mastered learning are free to be creative and make big things happen, Ken Blanchard takes a strong personal interest in this problem. In Know Can Do! he and his co-authors Paul J. Meyer and Dick Ruhe use the fable format Blanchard made famous to lay out a straightforward method for making sure you actually use what you know.

Publisher's Summary:

More than a decade ago, The Gallup Organization combed through its database of more than one-million employee and manager interviews to identify the elements most important in sustaining workplace excellence. These elements were revealed in the 1999 best seller First, Break All the Rules. 12: The Elements of Great Managing is that management classic's long-awaited sequel. It follows great managers as they implement the 12 elements to turn around a failing call center, save a struggling hotel, improve patient care in a hospital, maintain production through power outages, and successfully face a host of other challenges in settings around the world.

Gallup's study now includes 10 million employee and manager interviews spanning 114 countries and conducted in 41 languages. In 12, authors Rodd Wagner and James K. Harter weave the latest Gallup insights with recent discoveries in the fields of neuroscience, game theory, psychology, sociology, and economics. Written for managers and employees of companies large and small, 12 explains what every company needs to know about creating and sustaining employee engagement.

Critic Reviews:

"This wonderfully documented book provides a clear case for the elements that enhance performance in organizations. Implementing the recommendations in 12 will most certainly increase the productivity of your employees." (Ed Diener, Ph.D., Alumni Distinguished Professor of Psychology, University of Illinois)

Title: Small Is the New Big

Release date: 08-18-06

Publisher: HighBridge, a division of Recorded Books

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 382 votes

Genres: Business, Career Skills

Publisher's Summary:

Collected here for the first time are eight years of his very best blog posts, magazine columns, and e-books. Small is the New Big offers ideas and stories that can change how you work, what you buy, and how you see the world.

It's an entertaining snapshot of Godin's fiercely original brain. Who else would argue that Fluffernutter was a brilliant business model? That we need a service that charges to send e-mail? That you can learn more about design at Hershey Park than at an Apple store, and more about marketing at summer camp than at b-school?

All of these riffs add up to a few essential themes:

Critic Reviews:

Audie Award Finalist, Business Information/Education, 2007

"[Godin] presents a collection of essays that are thoughtful and wise." (Booklist)

"This compilation from the marketing guru's popular blog showcases the spontaneous energy that makes his voice stand out so boldly." (Publishers Weekly)

"Godin is a skilled and dynamic presenter, and his originality and spontaneous style come across perfectly in audio.... Godin's enthusiast-self is the perfect irreverent marketer of his own ideas. Whether two sentences or 20 minutes, the topics provide thought exercise for anyone interested in the culture of innovation." (AudioFile)

Release date: 03-28-03

Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 117 votes

Genres: Business, Career Skills

Publisher's Summary:

In The Breakout Principle, Dr. Herbert Benson delivers the ultimate self-help principle - simple instructions to activate a powerful biological trigger that converts conflict and confusion into clarity and extraordinary performance, a state athletes refer to as "the zone."

More than three decades ago, Benson began to research why some people are devastated by stress while others thrive, turning into a brilliant achievement. The Breakout Principle reports the discovery of an easy-to-access inner switch that increases mental function, enhances creativity and productivity, maximizes athletic performance, and enriches spiritual life. The same internal mechanism that improves a tennis serve or golf putt strengthens your speaking skills, makes you a better negotiator, and fosters inner peace and belief.

Dr. Benson and co-author William Proctor explain the cutting-edge science behind the phenomenon in accessible language, clearly describe the four distinct phases of the breakout, and provide simple, step-by-step instructions on how to activate the breakout trigger. The Breakout Principle reveals how to maximize your untapped abilities and powers.

Release date: 06-21-02

Publisher: Random House Audio

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 514 votes

Genres: Business, Career Skills

Publisher's Summary:

Everything we think and everything we choose to do alters our brain and fundamentally changes who we are, a process that continues until the end of our lives. Few people think of the brain as being susceptible to change in its actual structure, but in fact we can preselect the kind of brain we will have by continually exposing ourselves to rich and varied life experiences. Unlike other organs that eventually wear out with repeated and sustained use, the brain actually improves the more we challenge it.

Think of Restak as a personal trainer for your brain - he will help you assess your mental strengths and weaknesses, and set you to thinking about the world and the people around you in a new light, providing you with improved and varied skills and capabilities. From interacting with colleagues to recognizing your own psychological makeup, from understanding the way you see something to why you're looking at it in the first place, from explaining the cause of panic attacks to warding off performance anxiety, this book will tell you the whys and hows of the brain's workings.

Packed with practical advice and fascinating examples drawn from history, literature, and science, Mozart's Brain and the Fighter Pilot provides 28 informative and realistic steps that we can all take to improve our brainpower.

Mozart's Brain and the Fighter Pilot is also available in print from Harmony Books.

Critic Reviews:

"Think of Mozart's Brain as an exercise video for one's mental faculties." (Booklist)
