Bad Advice - How to Survive and...

Anónimo

Over motivational messages? Sick AF of inspirational quotes? Done with the shiny happy bad advice that gets you nowhere? Well, heads up: you’re about to get a shitload of Good Advice.
In Bad Advice, relationship expert Dr. Venus Nicolino—a.k.a. Dr. V—takes a blowtorch to the shrink-wrapped, “feel good” BS that passes for self-help these days.
When you’re heartbroken, what do you hear? You can’t love anyone until you love yourself. When someone’s hurt you? Nobody can make you feel bad without your permission. When you’re just a little too positive? Expectations lead to disappointment.
Pop culture noise gives Bad Advice the varnish of truthiness and inspiration. But it’s not truth; it’s not inspiration. It’s bullshit. And at its root, all Bad Advice operates off the same lie: Emotions are optional. In Bad Advice, Dr. V delivers a bracing truth serum, in the form of Good Advice—an antidote to the bullshit, from “Just Be Yourself” to “Live Each Day Like It’s Your Last,” that teaches you to live your life in a way that honors who you are, what you need, and how you feel.
Smart and irreverent, Dr. V fuses the brains and insight of a nerdy Ph.D. with the heart of a doting Italian Mother and the artful profanity of a Philly trucker. Dr. V’s signature combination of humor, hard science, and heart make Bad Advice an iconoclastic course-correction like no other. A fiercely sharp wake-up call that tackles some of self-help’s most damaging truisms, Bad Advice is a never shy guide to tapping into your full potential.

Advisor's minefield the - why...

Shaun Tracey

“No further questions, Mr Lord.” Testifying in court is every advisor’s worst nightmare, yet liability claims are brought against even the best professional firms. The fallout is always costly: every lawsuit harms the firm’s reputation, client relationships and bottom line. For the ‘accused’ advisors, even a baseless claim threatens their professional success. However, few of the lessons are shared with practitioners. 
Through original stories drawn from his 20 years as a defence lawyer for top-tier professional firms, Shaun Tracey offers a rare insider’s perspective on why advisors are sued, the staggering costs and how to mitigate these risks. How did a billion-dollar claim arise from a single mistaken word? What are the three main reasons clients sue their advisors? And how can you safeguard your practice against scapegoat claims? 
Whether you are a lawyer, accountant or other professional advisor, The Advisor’s Minefield is an indispensable guide to protecting your practice. 
SHAUN TRACEY practises law at Campbells LLP and acts as defence counsel to leading professional firms in high-value liability lawsuits. As an author and speaker, he provides expert training to help firms avoid litigation.
