How do you begin your day? All of us have our daily rituals, which have a way of influencing the rest of our day. In her book, The Daily Grind: GOD With Your Coffee, author Susan Ward Diamond shares stories and reflections gleaned from years of praying and meditating early each morning over a cup of coffee. Begun as a personal spiritual discipline, Diamond began sharing her Thoughts for the Day with her congregation by email. Before long, her meditations had made their way around the globe, encouraging others on their life journey to experience Gods joyful, unconditional love each day. Sometimes painful, sometimes humorous, always honest, you will find yourself in the stories this pastor has to share. Story is the common thread that binds us to one another. As the great novelist Willa Cather said, There are only two or three human stories, and they go on repeating themselves as fiercely as if they had never happened before. Life is difficultin fact, at times it can feel like a grind. But when God is invited into the daily-ness of our lives, we begin to find a blend that is filled with a marvelous aroma! The Daily Grind: GOD with Your Coffee will be a great addition to your daywhatever time of the day you choose to read it.

“Brigid Schulte is a vital voice on the future of work, and her carefully researched book lights the way to fewer hours, less stress, and more meaning.” ―Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again and Hidden Potential, and host of the podcast WorkLife From the New York Times bestselling author of Overwhelmed, a deeply reported exploration of why American work isn’t working and how our lives can be made more meaningful Following Overwhelmed, Brigid Schulte’s groundbreaking examination of time management and stress, the prizewinning journalist now turns her attention to the greatest culprit in America’s quality-of-life crisis: the way our economy and culture conceive of work. Americans across all demographics, industries, and socioeconomic levels report exhaustion, burnout, and the wish for more meaningful lives. This full-system failure in our structure of work affects everything from gender inequality to domestic stability, and it even shortens our lifespans. Drawing on years of research, Schulte traces the arc of our discontent from a time before the 1980s, when work was compatible with well-being and allowed a single earner to support a family, until today, with millions of people working multiple hourly jobs or in white-collar positions where no hours are ever off duty. She casts a wide net in search of solutions, exploring the movement to institute a four-day workweek, introducing Japan’s Housewives Brigade—which demands legal protection for family time—and embedding with CEOs who are making the business case for humane conditions. And she demonstrates the power of a collective and creative demand for change, showing that work can be organized in an infinite number of ways that are good for humans and for business. Fiercely argued and vividly told, rich with stories and informed by deep investigation, Over Work lays out a clear vision for ending our punishing grind and reclaiming leisure, joy, and meaning.

"This brilliant book will shatter your assumptions about what it takes to improve and succeed. I wish I could go back in time and gift it to my younger self. It would've helped me find a more joyful path to progress." -Serena Williams, 23-time Grand Slam singles tennis champion The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again illuminates how we can elevate ourselves and others to unexpected heights. We live in a world that’s obsessed with talent. We celebrate gifted students in school, natural athletes in sports, and child prodigies in music. But admiring people who start out with innate advantages leads us to overlook the distances we ourselves can travel. We can all improve at improving. And when opportunity doesn’t knock, there are ways to build a door. Hidden Potential offers a new framework for raising aspirations and exceeding expectations. Adam Grant weaves together groundbreaking evidence, surprising insights, and vivid storytelling that takes us from the classroom to the boardroom, the playground to the Olympics, and underground to outer space. He shows that progress depends less on how hard you work than how well you learn. Growth is not about the genius you possess – it’s about the character you develop. Grant explores how to build the character skills and motivational structures to realize our own potential, and how to design systems that create opportunities for those who have been underrated and overlooked. This book reveals how anyone can rise to achieve greater things. The true measure of your potential is not the height of the peak you’ve reached, but how far you’ve climbed to get there.

How can sales managers coach their teams through multiple, sometimes stressful, rollouts? You can teach your team to embrace and manage change from the bottom up. Global sales management and transformation leader Grant Van Ulbrich makes a compelling case for tackling this issue using an innovative change management model designed with sales teams in mind. Transforming Sales Management begins with an overview of sales management, sales transformation and change management. Showcasing the issues of organization-focused frameworks in today's current sales atmosphere, the book makes a case for a bottom-up change management model: SCARED SO WHAT. Transforming Sales Management takes readers through the implementation of the model used at various Fortune 100 groups, universities and institutions, detailing the framework in two parts: SCARED (Surprise, Champion/Conflicted, Action, Receptive/Rejective, Explore, Decide) and SO WHAT (Strategy, Options, Way forward, Hope, Actions, Taking ownership). The author explains the emotional impact of change and why it's important to critically reflect and focus on actions before making a decision and responding to it. The book applies the model to complex sales situations and provides useful support tools to help readers react when confronted with change. Readers will learn how to help their sales teams navigate corporate rollouts, changes to organizational design, the implementation of new technologies, rejection of sales opportunities and changing customer expectations.
