Jacqueline Novak

Feeble Offerings on Depression from One Who Knows

In her darkly funny memoir and guide to the depressed life, comedian Jacqueline Novak doesn't offer help overcoming depression--just much-needed comfort, company, and tips for life inside the fog.

"Jacqueline Novak's unapologetic and original comedy is the kind that gives me hope in this business."--Amy Schumer  

With advice that ranges from practical (Chapter 17: Do Your Crying on a Cat) to philosophical (Chapter 21: Make Peace With Sunshine), this laugh-out-loud memoir traces the depression thread from Novak's average suburban childhood to her current adult New York City existence, an imperfect but healthy-ish life in which Novak is mostly upright but still rarely does laundry.
 
At heart, How to Weep in Public provides a no-pressure, safe-zone for the reader to curl up inside. Keep this book on the shelf to be returned to it as needed-after all, depression is recurring. Jacqueline will be waiting to you tell you "You can fight another day." No, not as in "fight on another day" but  "fight this some other day."
 
Whether you're coping with the occasional down day, or thriving fully in Picasso's blue period, How to Weep in Public is the perfect place to regroup during a dark stint. So sit back, relax, and let Jacqueline Novak show you how to navigate the shadowy corridors of your troubled mind or the cheese display at the supermarket when food is the only thing that can save you.

Rewriting the Rules for Success

Fifty percent of the world's workforce is made up of women, yet the term oworking womeno is still used as if they're an anomaly. Thanks in part to the generations of women who came before and fought hard to earn a seat at the table, today's working women-among them, tens of millions of millennials-are able to do things differently. Disappearing are the days of face time for the sake of face time, 9-to-5 hours, and perfectly mapped career paths. oToday's generation of women is the first to be able to unabashedly embrace the fact that our lives are multidimensional,o writes Trump. oWe're deeply invested in our careers, but they don't solely define us. For us, it's about working smarter, not harder; integrating our personal passions and priorities with our professional goals in order to architect lives we love.o For the CEO of her own company or a stay-at-home mom; an assistant in a large corporation or a part-time freelancer, this book celebrates the fact that, when it comes to women and work, there isn't one orighto answer. By redefining what it means to be a modern working woman, and offering solution-oriented advice, Women Who Work will establish a new ideal, changing the conversation around women and work to one that's more positive, accurate and inclusive.

Stedman Graham

To Lead Others You Must First Lead Yourself

Become a passionate, purposeful, and meaningful leader through identifying who you are, your strengths, and your skills.

New York Times bestselling author Stedman Graham's Identity Leadership is a very personal and prescriptive guide that is based on his philosophy that a leader can't lead others until he can first lead himself-the more he works on himself -- the more he can give to those around him. To know our purpose in life, we begin with our passions, skills, and talents, and with this book we learn how to channel the best of who we are to achieve success for ourselves and those we lead.

In Identity Leadership, Graham examines why self-awareness matters, how leaders lead, the importance of communication, and much more. He then shows the reader how to step into their role as a leader and create their identity leadership plan. Key to the journey is believing in yourself, knowing your competence, continually challenging yourself, and being patient with yourself. Graham uses anecdotes from his own life, as well as discussing successful leaders, to illustrate the importance of identity leadership in each of our lives.

Self-leaders can create a roadmap that leads to personal growth, development, and improvement of performance in every area of life. Identity Leadership provides the tools-self-awareness, emotional intelligence, discipline, and more-needed to continually plan and execute learning and development of our talents and skills. These tools enable readers to commit to a personal vision and lead with purpose.
