Un mundo sin jefes: Aprendizajes de una ejecutiva que salió a matar patos para calmar su frustración
by Marina Díaz IbarraCon humor cautivante y honestidad brutal, la autora desmenuza su derrotero profesional. Y revela qué aprendió en el camino para poder sortear la pandemia de apatía laboral de nuestra época y recuperar las ganas de comerse el mundo. ¿Sabías que a la gran mayoría de la gente no le gusta (o simplemente detesta) su trabajo? ¿Y que casi el 90% de aquellos que dejan sus empleos lo hacen a causa de la relación con su superior directo? ¿Es que hay una epidemia de jefes sádicos torturando a empleados abnegados ahí afuera? Esta es la historia de cómo, después de cruzarse con jefes y jefas "horribles", de vivir escenas de oficina que ruborizarían al Marqués de Sade, de atravesar noches de angustia sin poder pegar un ojo y de reprimir las ganas de salir a matar patos con una escopeta, la autora, desde la cúspide de la pirámide corporativa y atrapada en el famoso "desastre disfrazado de éxito", pudo patear el tablero y delinear un proyecto propio que la realizaba. Experta en disrupción digital, directora independiente en varios boards, inversora y meditadora, Marina cuenta, con humor cautivante y honestidad brutal, cómo fue su derrotero profesional, por qué eligió la metáfora de los patos para hablar de los miedos y prejuicios que no nos dejan salir a "volar", y qué aprendió en el camino para poder sortear la pandemia de apatía laboral de nuestra época y recuperar las ganas de comerse el mundo. • Por qué una vida escindida es una vida en crisis• Cómo están diseñados los buenos líderes• Estadísticas y estudios sobre desmotivación laboral (y algunas claves para sentir motivación)• Por qué hay tantas mujeres y hombres sintiendo que sus trabajos son un castigo... • De qué modo un buen equipo brinda seguridad interna Un libro sobre la vida corporativa, la autoridad y los jefes; sobre el dolor de los fracasos, el cambio y la huida de la inercia; sobre el despertar y la ambición de inventarnos. Y sobre la motivación y la capacidad que todos y todas tenemos de convertirnos en quienes anhelamos ser.
Murder, Madness and Mayhem: Twenty-Five Tales of True Crime and Dark History
by Mike BrowneMike Browne, host of the popular Canadian podcast Dark Poutine, chronicles some of his all-time favourite stories of true crime and dark history from Canada and around the world.Divided into four sections —Murders with a Twist, Perpetual Puzzles, The Madness of Crowds and Notable Disasters — all the stories in this collection (except two) are brand new and haven’t been covered by the podcast.In Murders with a Twist, Browne recounts seven true crime stories with atypical elements, including weird motives, unusual perpetrators and bizarre murder weapons. In one case, we meet a man who is willing to kill to possess a human voice. In another, two women play a deadly game to prove their love to each other.Perpetual Puzzles covers six stories that remain unresolved and will leave you with more questions than answers. They include the archaeological find of the century, which turns out to be something far more sinister, as well as the discovery of a dead man on the beach with a mysterious clue in his pocket.The Madness of Crowds reveals that murder and mayhem are sometimes a group effort. We meet two young Canadians who leave home one summer to find work and instead end up on a murder spree, and a bizarre California cult that asks its members to topple the Mormon church.The book concludes with Notable Disasters, which describes some of the most tragic and deadly events in history, including the deadly tsunami in the Indian Ocean on December 26, 2004, as well as the devastating Grenfell Tower fire in London in June 2017.The book includes a foreword by Alan R. Warren, bestselling true crime author and host of the House of Mystery Radio Show.
Musings on Perimenopause and Menopause: Identity, Experience, Transition.
A woman muses about buying lovely new panties; another sets out on the trip of a lifetime; a blogger offers information, support, and community to perimenopausal women; researchers uncover myths and misconceptions about migrant and refugee women's experiences of menopause; a gerontology scholar extrapolates for menopause the meanings of cultural representations of childbirth; a sociologist and intersex advocate challenges her medically constructed menopause; young women's stories inform an inquiry into the health and social repercussions of primary ovarian insufficiency—all in a collection of research papers and personal narratives that moves far beyond the idea of menopause as a mere biological marker. While biomedical and feminist researchers agree that menopause is a time of transition and border crossing, they offer diverse viewpoints about whether perimenopause and menopause signal deficiency and burden, or growth and freedom, or both. So too, contributors to this collection—influenced by factors of age, cultural background, societal context, and physical and psychological experience—vary significantly in their perspectives of this process. Research, analysis, narrative, poetry, and art intermingle to create a multi-textured montage that challenges stereotypes, probes relationships, and defies categorization. Musings on Perimenopause and Menopause: Identity, Experience, Transition provides insight into how women think about and experience the transition to menopause in contemporary times.
Mustn't Grumble: The surprising science of everyday ailments and why we’re always a bit ill
by Graham LawtonOne of the many strange effects of the 2020 pandemic has been to make us much more vigilant about the state of our health in general and about minor symptoms in particular. And this, in turn, has made us more conscious that we all feel slightly out of sorts a great deal of the time; maybe even every day. This book is not about what happens when we're ill with something sufficiently serious to send us to the doctor or confine us to bed. Instead, it focuses on the multitude of mild, irksome, distracting illnesses, aches and pains with which we all put up with constantly. Covering 120 ailments, Graham explains the latest scientific thinking about everything from blackheads to chilblains; dead legs to haemorrhoids; ear wax to hiccups; and hay fever to heat stroke. It's a mixture of science and history, with a light touch, and provides practical information about each ailment for the reader.

My Nonidentical Twin: What I'd like you to know about living with Tourette's
by Evie Meg Hippie*Order now to be the first to read the debut book from the huge TikTok sensation Evie Meg | This Trippy Hippie!*Hey guys, you might know me already from one of my social media channels where I talk about the highs and lows of living with Tourette's Syndrome. I've loved sharing those times with you and - as there are lots of things I can't fit into a 60 second video - I've decided to write a book! It's the full story of how I came to be diagnosed and how having Tourette's has changed my life. Writing it has given me an opportunity to talk about things I haven't felt ready to share before - for some reason it's easier to put down private things in written words than in a video! I talk about the many other illnesses I've been through and the dreams that it's affected - about my school days, relationships and my very lowest points - but I also talk about what I've managed to achieve in spite of all the obstacles. I hope it'll make you laugh and make you think, and empower you to realise that no matter what you're facing in life, there are always ways to deal with the challenges. It's also so important to me that people understand what life is like with a disability, so we can be compassionate towards each other. I've bared my soul in this book to hopefully help others to do this. I'm so excited (and just a little bit nervous) for you to read it!Evie Meg xxx
