Regardless of how much you love your mother and father, no one can get under your skin quite like they do. They can simultaneously be your best friends and your greatest adversaries. They may go out of their way to look after and worry about you and drive you crazy in the process. Whether you’re a CEO or schoolteacher, single or married with children, you remain your parents’ child; but being a loving daughter or son does not mean you have to allow yourself to be treated (or to act) like a child. In this enduring, but potentially most troublesome relationship of your life, as your parents’ child, you are still subject to their demands, criticisms, and manipulations. Nobody's Baby Now empowers you to take charge of creating a more successful, more caring bond with your parents. It’s an eye-opening, accessible guide that not only addresses fundamental difficulties in the adult child-parent relationship, but also offers realistic strategies and reasons for reinventing your relationship with your parents. Susan Newman, author of Parenting an Only Child and a social psychologist specializing in family dynamics, tells universally familiar stories based on two years of interviews with 150 adult children. The result: invaluable insights into your own family and inspiration that will help you eliminate problems from guilt trips and holiday conflicts, to money issues and long-standing grudges--no matter how difficult your parents are. Newman takes on the different but common causes of strife, and tells you how to: · establish boundaries · deal with parents’ controlling behaviors · accept parents’ new partners · deal with sibling problems · address time pressures · handle in-laws and in-law jealousies · prevent interference in how you raise your children · make independent career decisions · cope with money issues Each chapter delves into these and other disagreements and friction that can arise, providing a series of tips, sample conversations, and checklists leading you to the best approach for improving your relationship with your parents. Even if you are convinced that your parents will never change, you may be astonished to see that by changing your own behavior pattern or attitude toward them you can have a noticeable impact on how they treat you. Nobody's Baby Now gives you the tools to keep disagreements and tension to a minimum, turn intolerable situations around, and guide the transformation of your relationship with your parents into a mature, supportive, and loving connection.

Relationships are the very foundation of our lives. Whether personal or professional, our ability to understand and commuinicate effectively with the people in our lives can make the difference between a satisfying, fulfilling life and one filled with tension and frustration. With this in mind, it's suprising that so few of us take the time to critcally examine the makeup and workings of these connections. Here, with Vivian Hamilton's Human Relations: The Art and Science of Building Effective Relationships, we are given the opportunity to do so. This text examines human relations by integrating key components of successful relationships: internal influences on thoughts, feelings, and behaviors; external or sociocultural influences; and communication principles and skill building. These main features help drive students towards better understanding and more effective communication within all of their relationships.
This refreshingly direct discussion of the often confusing world of love, sex, and relationships offers not just another set of rules but the principles God has established for all relationships.

Dog owners, this book reveals, fall into 9 distinct personality types: Angel, Dynamo, Soul Mate, Idealist, Observer, Expert, Buddy, Master, and Free Spirit. While most of us recognize that a rescuing Angel needs to save the neediest dog at the local shelter, what makes a Soul Mate a soft touch for round-headed, big-eyed toy breeds such as Shih Tzus, Pugs, and Pekingese.Authors Vicki Croke and Sarah Wilson, experts on the complex bond between dogs and their owners, use quizzes, psychological insights, and humor to analyze why dog owners gravitate toward certain breeds as pets—and to explain what owner’s choices reveal about their character andemotional makeup. With Dogology in hand, anyone visiting a dog park can instantly spot the various types and subtypes, from the Image Maker fashionista with her accessory Yorkie peeking out of her Prada bag, to the Free Spirit, whose dog often bears a botanical name and rarely comes when called.Similarly, readers will themselves learn that paying attention to the words they choose to praise their dog reveals the specific approval that they crave themselves. With quick checklists to identify what type of dog owners readers are, tips for training, and exercises for bonding with one’s dog, Dogology will make a welcome addition to any of the 43.5 million American households that nowown at least one dog.
In business and IT, you have to know your customer and understand how your company interacts with him or her. The current term for this is Business Relationship Management (BRM), and The BRM Handbook is the best textbook for managers on the mechanics of BRM. It's a standout in a field that's filled with squishy books that go on at length about how important BRM is, but which lack details. Ivanka Menken provides lots of factual information, real case studies, carefully considered commentary, and reasoned criteria with which to evaluate BRM best practices and strategies. You'll get a lot from her carefully researched book. Menken devotes some of her volume to BRM background information but quickly gets to the issues that managers confronted with BRM decisions need to consider. She makes great use of bulleted lists, scorable quizzes, and checklists and templates(sections about what questions to ask relations, and why, are particularly good) that you can use right now to gauge any organization's suitability to BRM and determine how they need to change in order to get the most out of their systems. Many CIOs today are using relationship management techniques to better integrate IT into the core business units. These skills are essential, as IT is expected to play a more prominent role in the direction of the business. When a company matures and scales, it takes a different IT view, moving from reactive to predictive. The way to be successful is using relationship management techniques to further integrate IT into the business model. Integrating IT into the core business unit does not occur overnight. Instead, that trust builds through a series of successful projects that shows IT can deliver value to the business. IT is rocket science, but, at the end of the day, it's also customer service, and Customer service is listening to the business and reacting accordingly. The Business Relationship Management Handbook helps you to establish a framework for IT projects across the company and within individual business units, using relationship management practices and an investment and change management committee composed of top leaders to prioritize projects. Menken's Comprehensive Business Relationship Management Handbook is thoroughly researched and written by experienced Service Managers, then reviewed by experts in the field.

There is a commonly held perception that we don’t talk about money. Actually, we talk about it all the time—we are just having the wrong conversation. The result: finances fracture and even destroy many relationships. In this timely book, money expert Jacquette M. Timmons addresses the financial issues that couples face, examining how family background, personal choices, and socioeconomic and cultural influences affect the way women merge love and money. Encouraging women first to explore their own relationship with money, she provides a framework for an honest exchange of information so partners can understand each other’s personal financial stories, the many emotions money elicits in them, and their financial preferences, prejudices, and tolerance levels. In these uncertain economic times, more and more couples are learning the hard way that a lack of financial intimacy can sabotage even the best relationships. Timmons gives women the tools they need to take the lead in the financial dialogue so they can live wealthy and well with their partner—in good times and bad.
