Book excerpt: BOHICA: Bend Over! Here It Comes Again Did you like reading "Chicken Soup for the Soul"? If you did, you are in for more insight and zeal for the tapestry of life as you read this remarkable book. Years ago, a Western tourist decided to visit the old monk who sat atop a Tibetan mountain. It took days of hard climbing to reach the summit where he would be permitted to ask one question of the old wise man. Gasping for breath in the thin atmosphere, he asked, "Master, what is the secret of true happiness?" The old man calmly answered as if he had heard the same question a million times. "Avoid becoming too involved in your own life?" BOHICA is this author's musings on an old saying, "Bend over! Here it comes again." Originally it referred to ducking beneath a swinging boom on a sailboat. The author has applied it to the cycle of events that are so common in our busy lives. Using wit and humor, you may well learn things in these pages that are very personal to your own life. Why? Because some of the stories are like mirrors that show us more about who we are as human beings. In BOHICA: Bend Over! Here It Comes Again, you will experience heart touching glimpses into the best and worst moments of life. These stories and reflections will soon cause you to explore what you really believe and why. Let's face it. Some of what we believe is ridiculous, but not until we put it into words or try to explain it to someone else. Your values are at the heart of your identity, so this book will help you discover something about who you really are - often with laughter but sometimes with sentimental tears.For example, there are some profound truths that only seem to emerge from those who have fallen into addiction and despair. Yet, there is some of the most hilarious joy that overflows from the journey out of that emotional prison. Sometimes, you can almost get a hernia from laughing at short, humorous thoughts that are just too close to the truth. Perhaps the ability to laugh at yourself is the most important step toward emotional wholeness and recovery from the traumatic circumstances of life.

Book excerpt: One of the most celebrated units in the military for more than a century, by 1990, New York City's Fighting 69th Infantry Regiment of the Army National Guard was scarcely fit for duty. Its equipment was derelict, its discipline nonexistent, many of its leaders inept, and its ranks filled with kids barely out of high school who had little intention of serving their country for any longer than it took to get their paycheck, college credit, or job training. Then came the attacks of September 11 and the invasion of Iraq. In The Fighting 69th, Sean Michael Flynn, himself a member of the unit, chronicles the extraordinary transformation of this band of amateur soldiers into a battle-hardened troop at one of the most lethal sites of war.

Executives, managers, and employees alike in all industries and sectors will find useful examples, strategies, and tools here. Praise for Joining Forces "This book will help both M&A veterans and those new to the game. The authorsprovide great insights into the human, cultural, organizational, and strategic factors that matter in M&A success." Richard Kovacevich, chairman and CEO emeritus, Wells Fargo & Co. "Don't commit to the merger or acquisition without them! I have personally witnessed how hard it is on everyone employees, shareholders, communities, and especially executives to work through an improperly managed merger. I have known Marks and Mirvis for almost twenty-five years and the only mistake our organization made was that we did not consult them soon enough. Their new book reflects unequalled experience and intellect. Don't merge, acquire, or be acquired without it!" Michael R. Losey, CEO (emeritus), Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM) "Joining Forces is a terrific resource for managers who want to understand thehuman dynamics of mergers and acquisitions, and a must-read for those who have to lead their companies through one. It is based on the latest research and providespractical insights and advice from authors who know M&A inside out." Edward E. Lawler III, Distinguished Professor of Business, Marshall School ofBusiness, University of Southern California

Book excerpt: EXPLORING AND EXPLODING OUR NOTIONS OF WORK Joanne B. Ciulla, a noted scholar in Leadership and Ethics, examines why so many people today have let their jobs take over their lives. Technology was supposed to free us from work, but instead we work longer hours-often tethered to the office at home by cell phones and e-mail. People still look to work for self-fulfillment, community, and identity, but these things may be increasingly difficult to find in today's workplace. Gone is the social contract where employees and employers shared a sense of mutual loyalty, yet many of us still sacrifice personal time for jobs that we could lose at the drop of a stock price. Tracing the evolution of the meaning of work from Aesop to Dilbert, and critically examining the past 100 years of management practices, Ciulla asks questions that we often willfully ignore at our own peril. *When you are on your deathbed, will you wish you had spent more time at the office? *Why do we define ourselves by our jobs rather than by other activities we do outside of work? *What can employers and employees promise each other in today's business environment? Provocative and entertaining, The Working Life challenges us to think about the meaning of work and its impact on our lives.
