Buy with confidence! Book is in new, never-used condition 1.2

Description courtesy of the publisher: A Dark Enigma - Like You To behold the book is to confront a riddle. On its cover, a solitary smile is lost in a sea of gears. What does it mean? Unlike those works who wear their thoughts on their sleeve, the Executive does not seek to be understood, nor will it pretend to be something it is not, should it find itself in the presence of undesirables. For those unsuited to know its secrets, it simply remains closed to inquiry, for compromise is weakness. Only a select few are worthy to unlock the mystery- and to those so esteemed, two keys are given. A Statement of Luxury and Virility The standard, b-grade paper so common to business books betrays the desperation and thriftiness of the publisher. Moreover, it consigns the reader to endure mediocrity and advertise their association with things mid-range. But the Executive knows no such shame, as every page is printed on premium-grade, textured matte art paper. And rather than settle for the simple smooth board of the average hardcover, it is cased within a muscular bonded-leather, its gears embossed, and the lonely smile in its center stamped with foil. It is book that demands to be reckoned with- suited for a leader who expects the same. With a Touch of Gold Would that this were the extent of the Executive's distinction, it would already have proven a specimen worthy of its premium price. Yet a final flourish remains. For after the work is bound, it is gilded with real gold, an act which both protects the paper from decay and more importantly provides final and irrefutable proof of the Executive's distinction and certain potency. If it leaves all other business books looking pale and weak by comparison, well, can it be helped?

Philippe Rothlin and Peter Werder estimate that 15 per cent of office staff are on the way to boreout” chronic boredom and demotivation in the workplace.  They’re underchallenged, uninterested, and spend hours each day simulating work.  These employees have given up and become resigned to their situation, suffering what is effectively the opposite of office burnout.  Boreout lowers morale, productivity, and profits. In this new book, Rothlin and Werder bring to light this phenomenon which, though prevalent, has only recently been recognized.  They show employees and employers how to recognize boreout and avoid its consequences, which can include dissatisfaction, weariness, and loss of zest for life not to mention the economic problems caused by bored employees spending hours of company time surfing the net.  In conclusion, they offer solutions to help companies and workers find their way out of boreout. 

Do sugar-coated lies and cliché photos actually motivate you to do better? Of course not!If you want to get ahead in life, you need to know how things really work. You need posters that reveal the cold, hard truth. You need to be demotivated.By offering demotivational messages accompanied by ridiculous images, the author turns the motivational message upside down with very funny results. Faux versions of the kitschy motivational poster are already a wildly popular Internet phenomenon, but never have they been done with such savage humor as in this book. The author offers a variety of entertaining options, such as a baseball player eating dirt while missing a fly ball paired with the caption "Humiliation: There's no Point Trying, You Just Look Ridiculous." Another poster pairs a distressed surgeon with, "Failure: Sometimes it is a Matter of Life and Death."

Should governments save people from themselves? Do governments have the right to influence citizens' behavior related to smoking tobacco, eating too much, not saving enough, drinking alcohol, or taking marijuana―or does this create a nanny state, leading to infantilization, demotivation, and breaches in individual autonomy? Looking at examples from both sides of the Atlantic and around the world, Government Paternalism examines the justifications for, and the prevalence of, government involvement and considers when intervention might or might not be acceptable. Building on developments in philosophy, behavioral economics, and psychology, Julian Le Grand and Bill New explore the roles, boundaries, and responsibilities of the government and its citizens.Le Grand and New investigate specific policy areas, including smoking, saving for pensions, and assisted suicide. They discuss legal restrictions on risky behavior, taxation of harmful activities, and subsidies for beneficial activities. And they pay particular attention to "nudge" or libertarian paternalist proposals that try to change the context in which individuals make decisions so that they make the right ones. Le Grand and New argue that individuals often display "reasoning failure": an inability to achieve the ends that they set themselves. Such instances are ideal for paternalistic interventions―for though such interventions might impinge on autonomy, the impact can be outweighed by an improvement in well-being.Government Paternalism rigorously considers whether the state should guide citizen decision making in positive ways and if so, how this should be achieved.
