Workers want and need to know their work is appreciated. Showing gratitude to employees is the easiest, fastest, most inexpensive way to boost performance. New research shows that gratitude boosts employee engagement, reduces turnover, and leads team members to express more gratitude to one anotherstrengthening team bonds. Studies have also shown that gratitude is beneficial for those expressing it and is one of the most powerful variables in predicting a persons overall well-beingabove money, health, and optimism. The WD-40 Company knows this firsthand. When the leadership gave thousands of managers training in expressing gratitude to their employees, the company saw record increases in revenue.

Despite these benefits, few executives effectively utilize this simple tool. In fact, new research reveals people are less likely to express gratitude at work than anyplace else. What accounts for the staggering chasm between awareness of gratitudes benefits and the failure of so many leaders to do itor do it well? Adrian Gostick and Chester Elton call this the gratitude gap. In this invaluable guide, they identify the widespread and pernicious myths about managing others that cause leaders to withhold thanks.

Gostick and Elton also introduce eight simple ways managers can show employees they are valued. They supplement their insights and advice with stories of how many of todays most successful leaderssuch as Alan Mulally of Ford and Hubert Joly of Best Buysuccessfully incorporated gratitude into their leadership styles.

Showing gratitude isnt just about being nice, its about being smartreally smartand its a skill that everyone can easily learn.

Separation Anxiety is a hilarious, heart-breaking and thought-provoking portrait of a difficult marriage, as fierce as it is funny.... My advice: Start reading and dont stop until you get to the last page of this wise and wonderful novel.''  Alice Hoffman

From bestselling author Laura Zigman, a hilarious novel about a wife and mother whose life is unraveling and the well-intentioned but increasingly disastrous steps she takes to course-correct her relationships, her career, and her belief in herself.

On top of it all, she has a painfully ironic job writing articles for a self-help websitea poor fit for someone seemingly incapable of helping herself.

Wickedly funny and surprisingly tender, Separation Anxiety offers a frank portrait of middle-aged limbo, examining the ebb and flow of lifes most important relationships. Tapping into the insecurities and anxieties that most of us keep under wraps, and with a voice that is at once gleefully irreverent and genuinely touching, Laura Zigman has crafted a new classic for anyone taking fumbling steps toward happiness.

INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER

''A remarkable book. Weigel's biography is likely to remain the standard one-volume reference on John Paul II for many years to come.''  Pittsburg Post-Gazette

?Fascinating. . . sheds light on the history of the twentieth century for everyone. New York Times Book Review

The definitive biography of Pope John Paul II that explores how influential he was on the world stage and in some of the most historic events of the twentieth century that can still be felt today

Witness to Hope is the authoritative biography of one of the singular figuressome might argue the singular figureof our time. With unprecedented cooperation from John Paul II and the people who knew and worked with him throughout his life, George Weigel offers a groundbreaking portrait of the Pope as a man, a thinker, and a leader whose religious convictions defined a new approach to world politicsand changed the course of history. As even his critics concede, John Paul II occupied a unique place on the world stage and put down intellectual markers that no one could ignore or avoid as humanity entered a new millennium fraught with possibility and danger.

The Pope was a man of prodigious energy who played a crucial, yet insufficiently explored, role in some of the most momentous events of our time, including the collapse of European communism, the quest for peace in the Middle East, and the democratic transformation of Latin America. With an updated preface, this edition of Witness to Hope explains how this man from a far country did all of that, and much moreand what both his accomplishments and the unfinished business of his pontificate mean for the future of the Church and the world.

Length: 8:50:10

Language: English

Genres: History, Biography & Memoir, Military

Summary:

In celebration of the 75th anniversary, a riveting first-hand account of the Battle of Okinawathe Pacific Wars ''bloodiest battle of all'' (New York Times)from the first officer ashore, who served at the front for the battles entire 82-day duration, heroism that earned him a Bronze Star.

On Easter Sunday, April 1, 1945, 1,500 Allied ships and 1.5 million men gathered off the coast of the Japanese island of Okinawa and launched the largest amphibious assault of the Pacific War. They expected an 80% casualty rate. The first American officer ashore was Major Art Shaw, a unit commander in the U.S. Armys 361 Artillery Battalion of the 96th Division, often called the Deadeyes. For the next three months, Major Shaw and his men served at the front lines of the Pacifics bloodiest battle, their artillery proving decisive against a ''phantom enemy'' who had entrenched themselves into rugged, craggy island. Now, at 98, Art Shaw looks back to tell the story. 82 Days on Okinawa is an extraordinary eyewitness account of this critical World War II battle.

The first step of Operation Downfallthe ground invasion of Japanthe Battle of Okinawa became legendary for its brutality. Over 82 days, the Allies fought the Japanese Army in one of the bloodiest campaigns of the war, one in which more than 150,000 soldiers would die. When the final calculations were made, the totals said that the Deadeyes had killed 37,763 of the enemy. The 361 Field Artillery Battalion had played a crucial role in victory. It would be the last major battle of World War II, and a key pivot point leading to the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the Japanese surrender in August, two months after the sieges end.

A riveting first-person account of this turning point, 82 Days on Okinawa joins the ranks of Donald Strattons All the Gallant Men and Dusty Kleiss' Never Call Me a Hero.
