Named one of 10 Best New Management Books for 2022 by Thinkers50 A Wall Street Journal Bestseller "...this guide provides readers with much more than just early careers advice; it can help everyone from interns to CEOs." — a Financial Times top title You've landed a job. Now what? No one tells you how to navigate your first day in a new role. No one tells you how to take ownership, manage expectations, or handle workplace politics. No one tells you how to get promoted. The answers to these professional unknowns lie in the unspoken rules—the certain ways of doing things that managers expect but don't explain and that top performers do but don't realize. The problem is, these rules aren't taught in school. Instead, they get passed down over dinner or from mentor to mentee, making for an unlevel playing field, with the insiders getting ahead and the outsiders stumbling along through trial and error. Until now. In this practical guide, Gorick Ng, a first-generation college student and Harvard career adviser, demystifies the unspoken rules of work. Ng distills the wisdom he has gathered from over five hundred interviews with professionals across industries and job types about the biggest mistakes people make at work. Loaded with frameworks, checklists, and talking points, the book provides concrete strategies you can apply immediately to your own situation and will help you navigate inevitable questions, such as: How do I manage my time in the face of conflicting priorities? How do I build relationships when I’m working remotely? How do I ask for help without looking incompetent or lazy? The Unspoken Rules is the only book you need to perform your best, stand out from your peers, and set yourself up for a fulfilling career.

Dominic Gettins spent many years writing copy and training others to do so. In this handbook he demonstrates his own ability to get his message across and shows readers how to do the same. He articulates the uncodified knowledge copywriters and art directors use when writing ads for readers to apply to any communications they have to produce. Although the examples come mostly from the advertising industry, the techniques and principles can be applied to any form of promotional writing, in national press, newsletters, press releases, direct mail shots, posters, TV, radio, and even internal reports and memos. He presents these in the form of eight essential rules.

A true story of love and survival, this book profiles the lives of a couple who unwittingly become involved in a most unusual experience. Life was idyllic on the island paradise known as Roatan, located some 35 miles off the North Coast of Honduras, in the Western Caribbean Sea. Two unsuspecting people are hoodwinked into allowing a rascal cat into their lives and hearts where he soon becomes master of the house. A brainstorm of an idea brings four very young kittens, (otherwise condemned to certain death), onto the scene to complicate a once simple existence. Nature subsequently challenges the very lives of all the people on the island as Hurricane Mitch, a category 5 storm, hovers off shore for five days, with sustained winds of 140 miles per hour, creating thirty foot seas and torrential rains. It quickly became a life threatening situation. The "Storm of the Century" devastates the Bay Islands of Honduras and then crosses the entire Central American isthmus twice, leaving massive death and destruction behind before exiting through Guatemala and the Gulf of Mexico. The aftermath of this disaster is as frightening as the storm, but fate plays a friendly role in this frightening survival.
