It's time for subcontractors to Quit Getting Screwed. Every day, subcontractors across all trades face the same critical dilemma: Should I sign a subcontract I don't understand-one that might even put my company at risk? Or should I refuse to sign and lose the job? Attorney Karalynn Cromeens wrote Quit Getting Screwed to help every subcontractor, no matter how big or how small, understand what those subcontracts mean. Know which provisions you should expect and which ones to avoid. Identify dangerous provisions that need to be removed, learn the best negotiation techniques, and come to the table armed with fair language that can be substituted for unfair clauses. Signing a subcontract you don't understand can put your entire livelihood in jeopardy. If you're a subcontractor, don't sign another subcontracting agreement without knowing what it means. Keep this book in your pocket, and quit getting screwed.

#1 New York Times Bestseller Over 10 million copies sold In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be "positive" all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people. For decades, we’ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F**k positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let’s be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn’t sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is—a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let’s-all-feel-good mindset that has infected American society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up. Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited—"not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault." Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek. There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.
Tackling relationships, career, and family issues, John Kim, LMFT, thinks of himself as a life-styledesigner, not a therapist. His radical new approach, that he sometimes calls “self-help in a shot glass” is easy, real, and to the point. He helps people make changes to their lives so that personal growth happens organically, just by living. Let’s face it, therapy is a luxury. Few of us have the time or money to devote to going to an office every week. With anecdotes illustrating principles in action (in relatable and sometimes irreverent fashion) and stand-alone practices and exercises, Kim gives readers the tools and directions to focus on what's right with them instead of what's wrong. When John Kim was going through the end of a relationship, he began blogging as The Angry Therapist, documenting his personal journey post-divorce. Traditional therapists avoid transparency, but Kim preferred the language of "me too" as opposed to "you should." He blogged about his own shortcomings, revelations, views on relationships, and the world. He spoke a different therapeutic language —open, raw, and at times subversive — and people responded. The Angry Therapist blog, that inspired this book, has been featured in The Atlantic Monthly and on NPR.

Have you ever noticed how dysfunctional bosses come in many different disguises? Some mask their flaws by being insecure, others by being control freaks, or by just being freaked-out micro-managers. Others are panicky, self-doubters but act like know-it-alls, while still others are unconfident and overcompensate by giving you unrealistic goals and drive you into the ground expecting you to meet goals that no sane person on earth could ever meet. FACT Bad managers are traditionally the all-time #1 reason employees leave a company. Bad managers SUCK!! Oh yeah, there are other reasons why people leave their job, like; job insecurity, lack of empowerment or authority, lack of respect, no opportunity for growth, not allowed to use key skills, little or no training, no access to critical information, no commitment to employees, no opportunity for involvement in decision-making, coworkers suck, work culture really sucks, no work-life balance, unfair treatment, no recognition, not challenging enough, bored, communication blows, the job is not what was expected, little or no benefits, no performance feedback, no direction from leadership, people get away with murder, no one is held accountable, or work ethic in this place is fucked up! The list is endless AND as the saying goes...employees don't leave companies, they leave MANAGERS. We have spent countless hours in conversations, delivery training sessions, and conducting coaching sessions with people all over the world who are struggling with dealing with their challenging manager. There is no question about it, after, over forty combined years of dealing with, working for and being in management, our mission is to pay it forward so that you can minimize frustration and maximize effort. The strategies in this book are the same strategies we've trained thousands of people to use successfully in real life situations for years. Organizations around the world spend countless dollars developing their front line people to provide epic customer service for their customers. Why should so many who have grand purposes for change have to work for a crappy, underdeveloped boss? One of the things we've seen over and over is that managers are always looking for ways to train their front line people BUT they rarely pick up a book or take a management course to hone their own skills. AND if they do, they hardly ever put anything new into practice. One bad manager can ruin what might otherwise be a great culture and work environment. There are trillions of what we'll call "horrific management styles" out there which result in wasted time and wasted hard-earned company dollars, and they destroy countless promising careers, just like yours, if you let them. One of the first lessons in life is figuring out who we should listen to and who we shouldn't. It seems like a no-brainer right? If you have a choice (which you do), learn from someone who has actually accomplished what you're trying to accomplish. That's what we've done here. We've learned from some really great, and equally, from some really bad managers. We're grateful to them all. We've pieced together the best information on how to hack your manager, so you don't have to go through a lot of pain and frustration and waste a bunch of time dealing with a less-than-awesome manager, who will hold you back from achieving your career goals. Looking back on our careers as managers, sales consultants, marketers, corporate trainers and independent consultants, we've observed management styles (and we're not talking about Harvard-level qualities either) that have stood out. We've taken the best qualities we've observed and experienced and adopted them into our own management style. Are we saying we're perfect managers in the world? NO! AND, what we're about to share with you hasn't failed us yet.
