Work to Live: The Guide To Getting A Life 
Reviewer/Reader Feedback: "This is a must-read for all Americans! Because most Americans work too much and have very little vacation, they are stressed out, eat too much junk food, don't get enough sleep, have very little leisure time, rarely see their friends, and have little time for their spouse, children and pets!"
Career Warfare: 10 Rules For Building A Successful Personal Brand And Fighting To Keep It 
Reviewer/Reader Feedback: "This is a real winner. The author shares shrewd tips on how to disarm the people who hold your career in their hands, how to speak your mind and avoid the workplace mediocrity that so many people settle for. If you are naturally conservative and risk-averse, you are not the kind of person for whom D'Alessandro wrote 'Career Warfare.' Which is why you most definitely need to buy this and then read it several times."
Harvard Business Review on Managing Your Career 
Harvard engages leading experts to contribute to this key career resource. Material includes: "Managing Oneself," "The Right Way To Be Fired," and "Managing Your Boss."
Games Mother Never Taught You: Corporate Gamesmanship for Women 
Reviewer/Reader Feedback: "Interesting book which describes the corporate world from a women's perspective and gives advice on career planning and advancement. As a man, I find the book overstates the nature men and of `male' business - not all men are sports jocks. However, the book does contain plenty of good, ruthless, honest advice."
Reviewer Reader Feedback: "While the strategic steps seem initially complex, they are very logical and lead to a positive conclusion: creating a merit-based work environment to replace a culture driven by political posturing. In the end, the company, the employees and the shareholders all benefit. A good read for anyone in business -- especially those who pursue the executive ranks."
Take Yourself to the Top: The Secrets of America's #1 Career Coach 
Reviewer/Reader Feedback: "I'm not much of a believer in career self-help books. I find most of them to be full of the same old "wisdom," poorly written, and/or so out of touch with what it's like to be a real human being that they are virtually useless. This book is different. It's packed with new ideas, compelling examples, and practical advice on reaching your goals. It's a book with substance and style--one that I'll be recommending to friends and associates again and again. Do yourself a favor and pick up this book."
Getting Promoted: Real Strategies for Advancing Your Career 
Reviewer/Reader Feedback: "Harry Chambers has written a book that really says something. You're career will get a big boost if you follow his guidelines. Yes, I've read a lot of these self-help get-ahead books, but this one cuts to the chase with the correct advice."
Type Talk at Work: How 16 Personality Types Determine Your Success on the Job 
Reviewer/Reader Feedback: "This is just one of the books that shows you how to use personality/psychological type at work and is worth reading. It covers nearly all issues we face in the modern workplace like communicating with co-workers, handling stress in the workplace, ethics, time management etc. all from a Type perspective. Kroger and Thuesen do a good job at explaining how Extroverts handle things differently from Introverts, Sesates from iNtuitives, Feelers from Thinkers, & Judgers from Perceivers. Apart from this, in between it gives various tips on how people with different preferences can better understand and work with each other."
Reviewer/Reader Feedback: "Scott Adams has nailed corporate America. If you have spent any time at all working for a big corporation, you will find this book to be very funny. The comic strips are always pretty humorous, but what I found also to be very funny was the text in this book, specifically describing the various corporate functions such as engineering, marketing, sales, and of course general management... The way he describes typical business situations, like the ongoing balancing act between engineering products and marketing them, is eerily accurate, and very funny."
The Mafia Manager : A Guide to the Corporate Machiavelli 
Reviewer/Reader Feedback: "If you're looking for some basic guidelines on how to behave at work to move ahead, or if you believe your coworkers are actually your "friends" then get this book right away. The strength of this book is how it describes in lay man terms what you need to do to survive and thrive, and despite the mention of the word mafia in the title I didn't find the tactics in this book evil.
Toxic Work: How to Overcome Stress, Overload, and Burnout and Revitalize Your Career 
Reviewer/Reader Feedback: "Toxic Work is a wonderful resource. I have used the book as a required text for both my graduate level Managment Training and Development and Human Resource Management courses. My students, without exception, rave about the content. Dr. Reinhold's humor and insight have provided me and over 100 of my students with a great set of career problem solving tools and a teriffic bibliography."
What Next? The Complete Guide to Taking Control of Your Working Life 
Reviwer/Reader Feedback: "When you start reading the introduction, you will be amazed by the depth to which this book will take you. This is not a dry how-to-find-a-job book, this is about finding a soul-satisfying vocation. It is about finding work that not only provides a sense of purpose, but allows us to express our values, talents and strengths. The two main ideas of "What Next?" include developing an independent attitude of being who you are by expressing your authentic self and acknowledging that a good job is a right, not a privilege.
What Color Is Your Parachute 2004?: A Practical Manual for Job-Hunters & Career-Changers 
"'WHAT COLOR IS YOUR PARACHUTE? HOT AGAIN, 30 YEARS AFTER DEBUT.' So ran the headline this past October in the Seattle Times. Actually, it has been 'hot'—the best-selling job-hunting book in the world—year after year, for more than three decades now, so much so that it is referred to as 'the job-hunters’ bible.' Each year it is updated, and sometimes vastly rewritten, by the author, giving first-time and veteran readers alike something new to discover. For those who have not read an updated version in recent years, this is a reminder of why, in the words of Fortune magazine, 'PARACHUTE remains the gold standard of career guides.'"
Career Intelligence : The 12 New Rules for Work and Life Success 
Reviewer/Reader Feedback: "This book is in a class of its own way above career guidance books that offer tips on how to write resumes or suggest "hot" jobs that you should choose. Dr Moses writes intelligently about the stresses of managing your career in a world where all the rules have changed. There are useful sections on many aspects of today's workplace...Whatever stage you are at in your career I think you will find something useful in this book. Overrall a wise, illuminating book that I would recommend not just to anyone looking for direction in their career but also managers in organizations who whish to understand what "career" has come to mean in today's workplace and help their employees recognize and acheive their career goals."
No More Blue Mondays: Four Keys to Finding Fulfillment at Work 
Reviewer/Reader Feedback: "I've been a career consultant since 1979, and this book is fresh! Most of the career books I've seen are filled with theory and instructions, but show little proof that it works. Here, finally, is a book that is not only right on the money, but it's believable. What I mean is that Robin's book is full of real-life examples; person after person, example after example, story after story. You get it: her "four keys" are not dreamt up in some ivory tower -- they are practical, applicable, powerful, field-tested tools to accomplish a successful career transition. They really work."
Love the Work You're With: Find the Job You Always Wanted Without Leaving the One You Have 
Reviewer/Reader Feedback: "Your job can be a prison or a palace. For most of us, work probably falls somewhere in between, but we usually don't acknowledge - or even realize - how much control we have in the matter. If you've ever wondered what you can do to improve the satisfaction and pleasure you get from work - without making a wrenching career change - this book is a wonderful place to start. I read a lot of self-help books (and occasionally even write them). This one is chock full of practical wisdom."
How to Think Like a Boss: And Get Ahead at Work 
Reviewer/Reader Feedback: "This book contains concepts that I had to learn 'the hard way', over many years. It explains office politics, how to understand what your boss wants/ needs from you, why hard work doesn't always get you ahead, and more! I have bought this book for 25 of my employees... I can't say enough about how readable, applicable and useful this book is! It is a refreshing change from most management books which spout terms like empowerment, and fill themselves with charts and grids."
Reviewer/Reader Feedback: "What distinguishes this book from the competition is the authors' commitment to an ethical, principled approach to the political game, which I found to be refreshing and positive. So often, the choice is presented as "stop worrying about being nice and get out there and win!" Instead, the Dobsons show why having principles, being honest, and treating others with dignity and respect can be a source of political strength and effective results, and why the archetypical Machiavellian office politician often comes to a bad end."
It's a Job, Not a Jail: How to Break Your Shackles When You Can't Afford to Quit 
Reviewer/Reader Feedback: "More and more, in cubicles across the nation, loyalty and hard work seem to be a waste of time, and many people stay at jobs they hate only because they see no other option. Now, from the authors of "How to Work for a Jerk", comes a collection of timely and time-proven techniques for surviving in an office from hell without losing your cool, your sanity, or your job."
Neanderthals at Work: How People and Politics Can Drive You Crazy...and What You Can Do About Them 
Reviewer/Reader Feedback: "I bought my first copy thinking that all those people causing me stress at work were "Neanderthals" As I read, I learned that all work centers have- and need each of three basic types, and to the other types in the office, I am their "Neanderthal" Very empowering, give a copy to you you boss, and to your favorite and least favorite co-worker. I'm replacing my own copy, as it never gets returned when borrowed, only passed off to others. Good Reading, fast, to the point
Reviewer/Reader Feedback: "This book is quick and funny, and is filled with self-tests and worksheets. There are great examples of how to work with difficult people (even if it's your boss) - it's about getting along, getting ahead, or getting out when necessary. Take control of your own career while staying true to yourself, have some fun, and get ahead!"
