From the creator of the popular website Ask a Manager and New York’s work-advice columnist comes a witty, practical guide to 200 difficult professional conversations—featuring all-new advice! There’s a reason Alison Green has been called “the Dear Abby of the work world.” Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don’t know what to say. Thankfully, Green does—and in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career. You’ll learn what to say when • coworkers push their work on you—then take credit for it • you accidentally trash-talk someone in an email then hit “reply all” • you’re being micromanaged—or not being managed at all • you catch a colleague in a lie • your boss seems unhappy with your work • your cubemate’s loud speakerphone is making you homicidal • you got drunk at the holiday party Praise for Ask a Manager “A must-read for anyone who works . . . [Alison Green’s] advice boils down to the idea that you should be professional (even when others are not) and that communicating in a straightforward manner with candor and kindness will get you far, no matter where you work.”—Booklist (starred review) “The author’s friendly, warm, no-nonsense writing is a pleasure to read, and her advice can be widely applied to relationships in all areas of readers’ lives. Ideal for anyone new to the job market or new to management, or anyone hoping to improve their work experience.”—Library Journal (starred review) “I am a huge fan of Alison Green’s Ask a Manager column. This book is even better. It teaches us how to deal with many of the most vexing big and little problems in our workplaces—and to do so with grace, confidence, and a sense of humor.”—Robert Sutton, Stanford professor and author of The No Asshole Rule and The Asshole Survival Guide “Ask a Manager is the ultimate playbook for navigating the traditional workforce in a diplomatic but firm way.”—Erin Lowry, author of Broke Millennial: Stop Scraping By and Get Your Financial Life Together

 The time is Mid Seventies; the place is New York; and the subject is models: "The cab went west, turning north up Park Avenue South. At Pershing Square there was a great clap of thunder. When they pulled into the quiet street in Turtle Bay it was coming down buckets. Looking out, she said: 'Maybe you'd better come up; it's turning into a terrible night.' Pete stared through the glass. The doorman, under the canopy with umbrella in hand, stood back, waiting. The girl watched him; then, running her nails along the inside of his thigh, very lightly, he turned to her: 'Really? I think I may have to be in early.' 'No-you-don't!', she replied. 'Remember? It's the weekend?'" "He glanced to the photo ID attached to the sun visor up front: 'V. Polina'; the guy was young and good looking. Pete noticed the dark eyes watching him in the rear view mirror: 'You got a minute?', asked Pete; 'Take your time', said V. Polina. Jeannie, leaning back in the seat, her long legs crossed, continued to watch him: 'Where's that brave boy I used to know?' Pete laughed. 'Don't be afraid of me, Pete; it is true that I live alone, and that sometimes I get lonely; but you're safe; you're not my type.' Pete looked again into the mirror. When their eyes met the guy smiled, then, shaking his head, slowly, Pete imagined he could hear him say: 'Dames.' As he leaned forward to reach for the wallet, the driver turned in his seat: 'If you don't go up with her, Pete, I'm gonna.' Pete said, 'I'm going!' Laughing, she slipped a hand under his arm and pulling him to the door, she said: 'Come on; before I change my mind.'" "She hadn't done a thing with her face; she hadn't needed to; she was perfect: the chin-length, white-blonde hair, all cleverly, disarray; the classic 'elfin' nose; the big, blue, baby-doll eyes; those ankles; every part seemed formed to drive men mad. It was then I realized there was something almost frightfully wonderful about this girl, and taking note, there-of, it came to me that if the speckled imago were to make another pass at us, it may not be a bad thing to have a Ginger Gallagher on hand; it was then that I began to encourage her." "'You know, Darling, I'm being honest, here: you really do look fabulous.' 'Do you mean it, Terry?' 'Of course I mean it; why in the world would I say it if I didn't mean it?' She turned toward the deli window; it was only a moment but I knew she'd taken a look at herself in the glass. Turning back, she frowned: 'I don't know; sometimes I think I'm getting too old for this.' Oh, that was good; I'd struck gold with the first swing of my pick. Still, I almost laughed; she looked like a child: 'Getting old? You? Don't be ridiculous; how old are you now, Ginger?' Knitting her young brow, she replied, 'I'll be Twenty-Two, soon.' 'My God', I thought, 'she is getting old!'"
A modern, practical, and inspiring guide to creating deep heart connections with kids by regularly creating new experiences and intentional adventures together. Parents today complain of fragmented relationships with their kids. What parents yearn for--and their kids too--is deep, heart-to-heart connections.

Adventuring Together highlights Greta's stories of doing just that, including an array of ideas for outdoor and indoor ventures, what to do when your finances are limited, and how to adventure if your family can't hit the hiking trail or spend the night at a campground. Giving readers the tools to make adventures happen, Adventuring Together is a step-by-step guide for parents--whether in the city or the country--to start building connections today that will last a lifetime.

As the makers of blockbuster movies like The Birds, Jaws and Arachnophobia well know, animal fears are the most commonly reported phobias. Some 6 percent of Americans suffer from diagnosable animal phobia at any given time, and 11 percent will experience an episode at some time in their lives. Nearly three quarters of animal phobia sufferers are women, and most symptoms of animal phobia come on in childhood. Since most people with animal phobias experience panic attacks when they encounter certain animals, these fears can cause victims to lose significant quality of life. Fortunately, specific phobias are among the most responsive of anxiety disorders to behavior therapy, the research-proven treatment adapted for self-help readers in this book. Readers first learn about their phobia, where it comes from, what factors influence it, and how best to prepare for treatment. Then they learn to confront and overcome their animal and insect phobia. These techniques are effective and fast. The book includes information about avoiding relapse and helping someone else who suffers from an animal phobia.
