It doesn't matter who you are or what business you're in, you are never far from a crisis. Edward Segal has profiled over 700 crises in his popular column on Forbes.com since 2020, from those affecting businesses and organizations to global celebrities and royalty. Here he builds that bank of real-life stories, developing the lessons and adding new unseen material, to reveal how global organizations and high-profile individuals have prevented, managed, and recovered from a variety of crisis situations.

And these are just the tip of the iceberg of crisis triggers with others including recession, extreme climate events, terrorism, lawsuits, accidents, and allegations of sexual abuse. In The Crisis Casebook, Edward Segal expertly recounts the good, the bad, and the ugly ways companies and people have managed a variety of crisis situations showing you how to avoid crisis management mistakes that could damage your company's reputation, profits, and future - and your career.

We have to make decisions all the time. Our lives are full of them, from the work we choose to the amount we save for retirement, to when, where and how we replenish our energy through socializing and play. How well we make them depends on developing, practising and mastering a consistent and reliable approach. Reaching and keeping senior positions at work depend on our ability to make good decisions all the time: more interesting and more responsible work carries the rights to make more and wider-reaching decisions. The higher up any organization, the more difficult and more influential the decisions that are made. But were any of us taught at school, college or work how to make better decisions? This book, by Sharon Curry and Andrew St George, provides a very simple system for making good decisions, tried and tested in a wide variety of workplaces, and under extreme conditions with clients from military to health to commercial to consultancies to international governments. The process derives from the Royal Marines and military planning, fully extended and adapted to match the challenges of everyday lives. The process is underwritten by sound psychological principles - used right, it will never let you down.

Born A Crime - Trevor Noah - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

WINNER OF THE THURBER PRIZE The compelling, inspiring, (often comic) coming-of-age story of Trevor Noah, set during the twilight of apartheid and the tumultuous days of freedom that followed. One of the comedy world''s brightest new voices, Trevor Noah is a light-footed but sharp-minded observer of the absurdities of politics, race and identity, sharing jokes and insights drawn from the wealth of experience acquired in his relatively young life. As host of the US hit show The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, he provides viewers around the globe with their nightly dose of biting satire, but here Noah turns his focus inward, giving readers a deeply personal, heartfelt and humorous look at the world that shaped him. Noah was born a crime, son of a white Swiss father and a black Xhosa mother, at a time when such a union was punishable by five years in prison. Living proof of his parents'' indiscretion, Trevor was kept mostly indoors for the first years of his life, bound by the extreme and often absurd measures his mother took to hide him from a government that could, at any moment, take him away.A collection of eighteen personal stories, Born a Crime tells the story of a mischievous young boy growing into a restless young man as he struggles to find his place in a world where he was never supposed to exist. Born a Crime is equally the story of that young man''s fearless, rebellious and fervently religious mother - a woman determined to save her son from the cycle of poverty, violence and abuse that ultimately threatens her own life.Whether subsisting on caterpillars for dinner during hard times, being thrown from a moving car during an attempted kidnapping, or just trying to survive the life-and-death pitfalls of dating in high school, Noah illuminates his curious world with an incisive wit and an unflinching honesty. His stories weave together to form a personal portrait of an unlikely childhood in a dangerous time, as moving and unforgettable as the very best memoirs and as funny as Noah''s own hilarious stand-up. Born a Crime is a must read.

Treating Arthritis - Margaret Hills - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

Treating Arthritis - Margaret Hills - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

Hundreds of thousands of arthritis sufferers have been helped by Margaret Hills and her clinic, and this new edition of her bestselling book will help you, too, whatever the degree or severity of your condition. At the heart of this book are simple, essential principles to help you treat your arthritis by natural means, dramatically improving your levels of pain, mobility and wellbeing. Research has shown that the Margaret Hills Programme can give impressive results after just a few weeks, and that it can bring significant improvements to people even with chronic or severe arthritis. The book reveals the impact of stress on arthritis, while it troubleshoots topics like digestive health, arthritis in childhood, and co-existing conditions. Above all, this book will help you to shift your mindset and develop a more positive approach to your illness - you are not beyond help, but with some simple steps can regain better mobility, less pain and a happier future. Margaret Hills, and the Margaret Hills Clinic At the age of 21, while training to be a nurse, Margaret Hills developed rheumatoid arthritis literally overnight, resulting in months of complete bed rest to aid her recovery. Years later, after completing her training, she developed osteoarthritis, leading to another attack of rheumatoid arthritis, leaving her crippled and in severe pain. Realising that the medical profession could do nothing for her, as the only available treatment was aspirin, she began to look into natural treatments. Margaret researched many different natural approaches to healing, including traditional remedies such as Epsom Salts baths and Cider Vinegar. She combined these detoxification remedies with a particular combination of nutritional supplements to develop her own treatment. After a year of following this regimen, she rid herself of all signs of arthritis, and continued to lead a pain-free life. The word spread gradually of Margaret Hills'' efforts to rid herself of all arthritic symptoms, and many people contacted her to find out more details as so many were in a similar situation of extreme pain due to arthritis of some type. Due to huge public interest, she opened a clinic to help others who were suffering, and to guide others through their recovery. The clinic, now run by her daughter, Christine Horner, continues to attract patients from far and wide and, following on from its success, Margaret wrote this book to impart her knowledge and help people with arthritis everywhere.
