This edited collection brings together some of the leading researchers in the study of the daily experience of work and daily well-being. The book covers both theoretical and methodological issues involved in studying workers' well-being as it evolves on a daily basis. Interest in the topic of daily fluctuations in worker well-being has grown rapidly over the past ten years. This is partly because of advances in research and statistical methods, but also because researchers have found that the psychological processes that influence well-being play out from moment to moment, and from day to day. Topics covered in this book include: The theoretical basis of studying work as a series of daily episodes Assessment of different components of daily well-being Factors involved in the regulation of well-being at work Qualitative and quantitative diary experience sampling and event reconstruction methods Latent growth curve modelling of diary data The final chapter of the book includes a preview of how daily methods may evolve in the future. Intended as a guide for researchers with good knowledge of field research methods, the book will be particularly useful to researchers of work-related phenomena who seek to expand their knowledge of dynamic methods in field contexts, and those who want to start using these methods. It will also be of interest to students of work psychology and organisational behaviour, and related disciplines.

The purpose of creating The Perfect Way to Survive a Storm is because I know this book can possibly help, enlighten, and inspire others. The goal is to teach financial strategies on how to survive a storm, personally or naturally caused. This book is like a blueprint to help prepare, discipline, and educate readers on steps to better, financially and mentally, prepare for a storm. The core focus of this book was to mentally help others be financially successful before, during, and even after a personal life storm. The double entendre is, even if a natural storm took place, readers will be mentally prepared, financially to challenge the storm. This book is based on true life experiences and goes into great details on what the artist went through, and most importantly, how the author got out of the storm. Imagine being in a situation with not many people to turn to, nowhere to go, and only a limited amount of income to work with. In this detailing story, this author explains times he had to sacrifice places and possessions to keep from losing everything. Daily rough times of sleeping in different places, borrowing money from bankers, and working with strangers to accomplish goals. Placed in highly stressful environments, somehow the author managed to keep his calm, faith, and patience to weather out the storm. Lots of drama, reoccurring events, dreams of almost making it out, with more problems ahead. Some events inspired from Hurricane Michael.
