Book Description

Excerpt from Lifescript #1: Asking for a Salary Increase

Icebreaker: I'd like to thank you for the opportunity you and the company have given me. I recognize that you've been very influential in my growth and advancement. However, I have a problem that I need your help with.

Pitch #1: What has happened is that I've been concentrating solely on my professional growth and haven't been paying any attention to my stream of income . . .

Pitch #2: I think my salary no longer reflects my contribution to the company . . .

Pitch #3: I think my salary no longer matches my job responsibilities . . .

Whether you need to ask your boss to stop micromanaging, terminate a subordinate, confront a backstabbing peer, or cold call a potential client, Lifescripts gives you the most effective approach-and the actual words-to use.

The bestselling guide to workplace success, Lifescripts has been completely revised and updated, taking a sharp new business focus and adding more than 50 scripts that help you prepare for difficult on-the-job conversations. Each of the 109 Lifescripts gives you a plan that leads to the desired result regardless of the obstacles thrown in your path. You get an icebreaker opener, a pitch, an answer to every question, and a defense for every attack. You'll also find strategic pointers on attitude, timing, preparation, and behavior.

From dealing with human resources to closing a deal, Lifescripts provides a road map to navigate successfully through the most perplexing, problematic workplace dialogues you may face in the course of your business life.

Good book to have.........2007-02-11

This book is good to have and has a lot of great references to go by especially if you are in a supervisor or managers position..highly recommended.

Great reference.......2007-01-23

Everyone is faced with tough conversations at work and this book provides practical guides for dealing with bosses, peers, and subordinates. I see where these scripts can easily be adapted to personal conversations as well. The book is organized in a very readable format. Not only are the topics easy to find, but the twists and turns of a specific dialog are diagramed so you can follow the path to the desired outcome. It even gives tips on timing. I especially liked that several strategies were described to combat different types of emotional responses that may be encountered. Most books I've read give general advice on handling difficult verbal situations, but this book gives word for word scripts that can actually be used in the real world. It's like gaining the insight of someone else's experience.

Good Reference Material.......2007-01-09

After taking a seminar recently, I decided to order
this book. The instructor had the book at the seminar
for a much higher price so I wrote down the name of
the book and the publisher so I could see if Amazon's
price was better. Naturally, it was so I bought it.
There is really good information in here for dealing
with all types of business world situations. A very helpful
aid to have in the office.

Well done, a little dissapointed.......2007-06-08

This book is well done, very flow-charty with branches of what possible things can happen and how to handle them in any given situation. I was a touch dissapointed - just that I thought it would be more concept oriented. The CD is worth getting the book I suppose, since you can just keep that handy and refer to it as needed. Neutral feelings on this.

Your #1 Reference for People.......2004-01-18

Take my advice and disregard any bad reviews of this book. First off, it comes with a CD that includes the entire book in PDF with every chapter and "people issue" listed for single-click access. That alone is worth the price! What I like most about the format is how the advice is laid out like a flowchart. It starts with what you might say. Then, depending on the person's response, your next response follows a certain path. And so on. It really is a great book; it's a shame that Amazon doesn't have the table of contents available for you to see the hundreds of different situations included. I learned more low-level information from this book that the $2600 Dale Carnegie course I took. Now that's a deal!

useful for difficult situations.......2001-10-22

This is an excellent book to keep in your collection for reference. You never know what difficult situations may arise, and this book gives example conversations for how to handle those situations.

Need a graceful way to get out of a situation?.......2001-01-24

I wish I'd read this book long before I had. The authors present you with some of life's stickiest situations and then tell you exactly how to handle it with words. What makes this book so invaluable is that the authors don't assume that the situation always involves bitterness--for example, their suggestions for leaving a job actually admit that it could just be a peaceful exit.

If you want to know how to disentangle yourself from an employer you're sure is going to hold a grudge, they give you elegant ways of telling your future employer about it. Use their method, and you won't sound whiny, belligerent, or even disgruntled! If anything, their methods make the former employer's words about you look questionable and stilted. I did use their ideas on this, and THEY WORKED.

To be brutally honest, this book is all about spin and the power it holds. So often in communication with one another, we forget that what we say is just as important as how we say it. In the age of emails and faxes, we're losing our manners and making unintentional enemies in the process. This book will re-educate you on the finer points of being nice and, dare I say it, being emotionally neutral.

The authors clearly illustrate that our emotions keep us from being objective about a situation, and this is why Lifescripts is so helpful. They teach you how to distance yourself just enough to see the whole picture and then give you the words/actions necessary to properly deal with the problem. They also teach about a long-forgotten nuance of communication--take a pause and think before you say it/do it/write it.

It's an excellent book that any manager, employee, or senior executive could easily benefit from, and I think it's even appropriate reading for high school age. Knowing when to say what can save you a lot of trouble...

I offered this book to my son before he left home forever.......2000-05-12

I will never forget that day. Before Charles closed his bag definitely, I gave it this book as a sacred testament. Everything is so well thought of; situations are so clearly described that you cannot make the usual mistakes: making confusions between symptoms and causes. Scenarios (scripts) are listed as alternatives one to each other. Solutions are clever and ethical.

Book Description

Abstruse legal phrases often inform our understanding of intricate cases. But those situations are also led, not outpaced, by basic equity principles of life itself. What statisticians call the law of large numbers and intelligence analysts in the world of science fiction know as the Bergofsky Principle is our structural faith in empirical knowledge. In this day, this process of experience and learning has moved into an international and interdisciplinary scale. That idea cannot be lost on us. Around the world, business and political leaders work together to realize common goals. But how does the rule of law impact these developments in strategy and technology, sustainable development, and access to justice?

Armed with realism, Changing Face of the Law: A Global Perspective actively explores the legal traditions of the United States, India, and other commonwealth nations. A budding lawyer, author Riddhi Dasgupta provides an insider's look at the link between the rule of law and corporate ethics, the law's imagination, and our global dialogue.

Lawful governance, or Gandhi's swaraj, is our linchpin. It appreciates the complexities of life and insightfully examines the modern perspectives of law. Giving us examples of this approach in the areas of free thought, federalism and development, and the law's role as a teacher, Dasgupta pinpoints the “active liberty” of the world's citizens—their own governance—as the key issue.

Every generation has its challenges, and ours lie in combating the emergent economic, health, corruption, and terrorism crises through the rule of law. Each sector in our society (from multinational corporations to social groups) is a vital piece of the puzzle. There is no doubt that the success or failure of this collaboration will measure our legacy.

Book Description

Escape From the Dead Superstar Review involves the comical misadventures of a Las Vegas revue escapee desperately trying to get to New York for an audition and the mountain girl, who stows away in his van with a kidnapped baby in a box.

Along the way, they team up with the world's tiniest evangelist, a unicorn-dust dealing pagan, and a lost Buddhist monk with a passion for french fries, showgirls, and slot machines.

As their journey takes them both east and west, the crew must avoid both the FBI and an avenging angel searching for a magical guitar, while unraveling the mystery of just who stole a song, that has become a mega-hit sweeping the nation and made its stealer a sought after celebrity.

Fictional Humor Makes Big Comeback!.......2000-08-03

I recently read the novel "Escape From the Dead SuperstarReview" and am estatic that fictional humor is alive and well in the guise of James Vincent Nix, who is not only a great comic, but a wonderful Life teacher as well.

This novel not only takes you through a humorous adventure with its interesting characters (not since "Fried Green Tomatoes" have I loved this many strange people!), but it teaches you a valuable spiritual lesson as well - without you even realizing it until after the book has been read and digested. Unlike those spiritual books featured on Oprah that hit you over the head with a message, this book allows you to discover one of Life's most important lessons on your own terms. And it does it in such an enjoyable fashion too!

If there is any major problem with the book, it is that it ends so quickly. I just wish we could've explored the secondary characters more indepth. Perhaps this can be done in a sequel?
