    Wage Theft in America - Why...

    “This book will give you an entirely new perspective on work in America.” —Barbara Ehrenreich, author of Nickel and Dimed   In what has been described as “the crime wave no one talks about,” billions of dollars’ worth of wages are stolen from millions of workers in the United States every year—a grand theft that exceeds every other larceny category. Even the Economic Policy Foundation, a business-funded think tank, has estimated that companies annually steal an incredible $19 billion in unpaid overtime. The scope of these abuses is staggering, but activists, unions, and policymakers—along with everyday Americans in congregations and towns across the country—have begun to take notice.   While the first edition of Wage Theft In America documented the scope of the problem, this new edition adds the latest research on wage theft and tells what community, religious, and labor activists are now doing to address the crisis—from passing state and local wage-theft bills to establishing mayoral task forces and tapping agencies that help low-wage workers in spotting wage theft.   Citing hard-hitting statistics and heartbreaking first-person accounts of exploitation at the hands of employers, this updated edition of Wage Theft In America offers concrete solutions and a roadmap for putting an end to this insidious practice.

    Chanakya, who lived in India in the 4th Century BC, was a leadership guru par excellence. The treasure of his teachings can be found in his book, The Arthashastra, which deals with good governance based on ideal leadership. The concept of the ideal nation in The Arthashastra, called Saptanga, holds that there are seven pillars of a kingdom: Swami, Amatya, Janpada, Durg, Kosha, Dand, Mitra iti Prakritya. For centuries, Indian rulers have used this concept as a model of successful government. In this path-breaking book, Chanakya's 7 Secrets of Leadership, author Radhakrishnan Pillai delves into Chanakya's Saptanga with the real-life example of D. Sivanandhan. Former Director General of Police, Maharashtra and the archetype of an able administrator, Sivanandhan shares his guidelines for effective management, highlighting those that make him a dynamic leader. In Chanakya's 7 Secrets of Leadership, theory meets the practice, academic research meets vast experience in police supervision and an age-old formula is revealed in a modern-day success story. Together, Pillai and Sivanandhan bring Chanakya's model to life. Anyone can use the seven secrets of leadership to run a kingdom effectively. Apply them in your life and the magic of Chanakya's wisdom will transform you into the ideal leader.

    Confidence is not like an immunization jab. Its not  something that can simply be injected into us through motivational  exercises and positive thinking. Confidence comes  almost  exclusively  from experience and self-knowledge.   Millions of smart people are held back by a lack of this  self-knowledge  and unwittingly generate the kind of  self-reinforcing behaviour that leads to low confidence.  In the follow-up to the groundbreaking bestseller,  Whats Stopping You?, with his very  British approach to self-help, Robert Kelsey draws on  extensive research and personal experience to provide a road map to  help break down the barriers that make us shy away from achieving  our true potential.  Whats Stopping YouBeing More Confident? is  aimed at helping to highlight the key reasons why you might  be lacking confidence in the first place, what causes self-doubt or  makes you feel less able than others.   Then we are shown how to turn this around, by examining  the traits that make someone confident, developing tactics for  maintaining self-assurance and learning how to apply these in  real-life practical situations.  Confidence is about knowing what were good at, but also  realizing what were not good at. Once we have come to  understand and accept this, we can truly learn how to develop and  sustain true confidence.  Introduction    Part One  Explaining Poor Confidence  1  Scripts  2  Mindset  3  Reactions  4  The Journey  Part Two  The Alchemy of Confidence  5  Optimism and Resilience  6  Self-efficacy and Talent  7  Courage and Extraversion  8  Trust and Judgement  Part Three  Achievement  9  Identity  10  Goals  11  The Plan  Part Four  Situations  12  Shyness  13  Work One: Us  14  Work Two: Them  15  Dating  Part Five  Barriers  16  Prejudice  17  Procrastination  18  Depression  19  Stress and Anxiety  20  Hubris  Additional Material: What the Psychologists Say
