About two-thirds of smokers want to quit smoking. So, why don't they? Because it's hard to quit, that's why. There are so many forces opposing smokers, it's a wonder that anyone is able to quit smoking. Those that are successful at quitting recognize the forces against them, and develop strategies to beat them. That's It, I Quit: A Guide to Quitting Smoking Forever outlines why people fail at their attempts to quit, and includes techniques to avoid failure. Author and physician Dean F. Giannone reveals the obstacles smokers face and offers individualized strategies to quit smoking forever. "As a physician, I have seen the entire spectrum of the nicotine addiction and the smoking habit, from the young recreational smoker to the older medically-compromised hospital patient. I recognize the importance of stopping this progression to illness as soon as possible. Read this book, and stop smoking now." -Dean F. Giannone, M.D.

Have you ever seen the network show “Undercover Boss”? I love this show, because top level executives take the time out of their busy schedules to actually go to great lengths to work at their own companies ‘undercover’. Some even don disguises so that their employees will not recognize them. Then they pose as normal, everyday workers in whatever field or line of work their company offers. This is so they can work alongside everyone and see how they truly feel about their jobs without bias or fear of being fired. To coin a phrase: “Can you hear me now?” You’ve probably heard it a million times before. Those famous last words that may end a career that has lasted 10, 20, or even 30 or more years: “I’ve had it! I quit!” What causes someone that has spent possibly a quarter or even half of their adult life to leave a place that has been their “bread and butter” for so long? On the converse, what causes companies to lose someone that have been loyal, as it were, to the same entity for so long? Yes, thousands of employers daily lose some of their prime talented workers due to several factors. Factory workers, airline baggage handlers, customer service representatives, nurses, doctors, and lawyers. The list goes on and on, and comes from a host of varied backgrounds. Do you want to know what’s really on the mind of your employees? Do you want to know how to make them happy so they will stay? Do you want to save your company tons of money that would ordinarily be spent on replacing departed employees? Download your copy of this ebook now!

'A powerful story ... Walsh shows an innate understanding of people's lives, and the emotional truths that underpin them' Kathleen MacMahon It hadn't been Rosie's idea - a 'quaint' wedding at her childhood home in the Irish countryside. Nevertheless she finds herself back in Monasterard after a decade away, with her American fiancé on her arm and a smile fixed to her face. As expected, the welcome from her siblings isn't exactly warm. Mary-Pat, the one who practically raised Rosie, is avoiding her. June is preoccupied with maintaining the illusion of her perfect family. And Pius, who still counts the years since their mother left, is hiding from the world. Each of them is struggling with the weight of things unsaid. In the end, it's their father who, on the day of Rosie's wedding, exposes what has remained hidden for so long. And as the O'Connor siblings piece together the secrets at the heart of their family, they begin to forgive the woman who abandoned them all those years ago.

If one were to do a nationwide poll of Indians born after Independence and ask which is the one date they remember most, the answer may well be 25 June 1983, the date on which India won the cricket World Cup. It is often said that cricket in India is like a religion; nothing could be more misleading. Religion has scarred the nation more deeply than anything else. Cricket is the balm that heals. In our collective consciousness, there is nothing quite like cricket. As the most visible expression of national identity, as an obsession or a dream, cricket is the only thing that possibly unites a country as diverse and as contradiction-ridden as India. In this brilliant book, Soumya Bhattacharya shows how we have made this game our own, given it our own colour, our own customs, our own codes. And how cricket in turn has come to permeate every aspect of our public life, from popular culture to politics so that, when a game is on, the rest of life happens strictly between overs.

“A documentary filmmaker and daughter of the late, great New York Times columnist David Carr celebrates and wrestles with her father’s legacy in a raw, redemptive memoir.”—O: The Oprah Magazine “A breathtaking read . . . a testimony equal parts love and candor. David would have had it no other way.”—Ta-Nehisi Coates, bestselling author of Between the World and Me NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY GLAMOUR AND MARIE CLAIRE Dad: What will set you apart is not talent but will and a certain kind of humility. A willingness to let the world show you things that you play back as you grow as an artist. Talent is cheap. Me: OK I will ponder these things. I am a Carr. Dad: That should matter quite a bit, actually not the name but the guts of what that name means. A celebrated journalist, bestselling author (The Night of the Gun), and recovering addict, David Carr was in the prime of his career when he suffered a fatal collapse in the newsroom of The New York Times in 2015. Shattered by his death, his daughter Erin Lee Carr, at age twenty-seven an up-and-coming documentary filmmaker, began combing through the entirety of their shared correspondence—1,936 items in total—in search of comfort and support. What started as an exercise in grief quickly grew into an active investigation: Did her father’s writings contain the answers to the question of how to move forward in life and work without her biggest champion by her side? How could she fill the space left behind by a man who had come to embody journalistic integrity, rigor, and hard reporting, whose mentorship meant everything not just to her but to the many who served alongside him? All That You Leave Behind is a poignant coming-of-age story that offers a raw and honest glimpse into the multilayered relationship between a daughter and a father. Through this lens, Erin comes to understand her own workplace missteps, existential crises, and relationship fails. While daughter and father bond over their mutual addictions and challenges with sobriety, it is their powerful sense of work and family that comes to ultimately define them. This unique combination of Erin Lee Carr’s earnest prose and her father’s meaningful words offers a compelling read that shows us what it means to be vulnerable and lost, supported and found. It is a window into love, with all of its fierceness and frustrations. “Thank you, Erin, for this beautiful book. Now I am going to steal all of your father’s remarkable advice and tell my kids I thought of it.”—Judd Apatow

A Brief Story Of Those That Leave. A play on words that becomes an addiction and has conquered all those that delve into it. WORDS is not a love story. It is a story of falling out of love. When Emma thinks she has the perfect life she has always dreamed of, Diego, the love of her life and the man she is about to marry, leaves her for another. He packs his bags and simply leaves, as if Emma’s feelings were worth nothing. Months later, still heartbroken and not able to see a way out of her deep sadness, Emma decides to go to Silvia’s office, a reputable psychologist in Barcelona who has unusual methods. Our protagonist needs to live again and above all, regain her self-confidence. Silvia suggests Emma a game of nine words. Each word will be a part of the story of Emma and Diego. Each word will make Emma open her eyes and understand that her relationship was not the fairytale she thought, nor was Diego the perfect man she saw. Each of the NINE words will be key for Emma to see that there is life after a breakup and that destiny can surprise us. This is a short tale you will read a thousand times, personal and unique, that talks about those that leave and break our heart a little. The thing is: One always remember those kisses in which everything is forgotten. Let yourself be seduced by some WORDS you will never forget, and perhaps they will belong to you too.

Within our lives we feel happiness, sorrow and pain, sometimes even all at once. There are many times when we do not understand the way that we feel. There are times when we want to strengthen the relationships in the lives that we live but pride is what we still feel. Sometimes we are breaking apart even when it is very painful in our hearts. Sometimes we would whether live with misery than reconcile with the ones that we love. There will always be mistakes made in the lives that we live. We need to work pass the problems in our lives to find a solution. I know that we can still feel hurt but we can overcome the feeling when we look deeply into our hearts. There will always be a love that we will feel for the ones that we love. Accepting this is the one true constant that can strengthen our relationships. I hope that with the reading of this poetry you will be given an insight. We do not live in a perfect world, but we are a diamond or a pearl. We are all special in our own ways. We all deserve to be loved every day.
