Lean Thinking

Normal Price: $15.99

Offer Price: $12.30

Expanded, updated, and more relevant than ever, the bestselling business classic by two internationally renowned management theorists shows how companies of any size in any industry can seize opportunities in the post-bubble economy.

Lean Thinking begins by helping listeners to identify value, asking, "What does the customer really want?" instead of "What we try to convince the customer to accept?" Lean thinkers then identify the value stream—every step required to move a specific good or service from initial concept into the hands of the customer— for each product and ask if each step really creates value. Those that don't—the great majority—are then removed, and the remaining steps are conducted in continuous flow at the pull of the customer, as the firm manages toward perfection. As a consequence, lead times, costs of all sorts, and defects shrink, while responsiveness to customer needs and selling prices increase.

In an economic downturn, many companies are searching desperately for a sustainable formula for renewed growth and success. Lean Thinking is that formula—a proven blueprint and specific action plan that will help any company stabilize its position and grow steadily while better serving its customers, employees, suppliers, and investors.

Normal Price: $14.99

Offer Price: $11.53

In her most important book yet, Dr Laura Schlessinger shows men and women that they can have a good life no matter how bad their childhood was.

For each of us, there is a connection between our early family dynamics and experiences and our current attitudes and decisions. Many of the people Dr. Laura has helped did not realize how their histories impacted their adult lives, or how their choices in people, repetitive situations, and decisions—even their emotional reactions—were connected to those early negative experiences, playing a major role in their current unhappiness.

Dr. Laura will help you realize that no matter what circumstances you came from or currently live in, you are ultimately responsible for how you react to them. The acceptance of this basic truth is the source of your power to secure the Good Life you long for. In her signature straightforward style, with real-life examples, Dr. Laura shows you what you will gain by not being satisfied with an identity as a victim, or even as a survivor—you should strive to be a victor!

In Bad Childhood—Good Life, Dr. Laura will guide you to accept the truth of the assaults on your psyche and soul, understand your unique coping style and how it impacts your daily thoughts and actions, and help you embrace a life of more peace and happiness.

Dr Laura Schlessinger is the author of seven New York Times bestsellers, as well as four children's books. She is the host of an award-winning, internationally syndicated radio program and is a monthly contributor to Newsmax Magazine.

Approval Addiction

Normal Price: $20.75

Offer Price: $15.96

So many people today have an unhealthy need for affirmation and are unable to feel good about themselves without it. These "approval addicts" spend their time in a constant struggle with low self-esteem and emotional turmoil-which leads to major problems in their relationships with others. In her latest book, Joyce Meyer provides a path to release from the overwhelming need for acceptance from the outside world-an acceptance that is unfulfilling and leads only to disappointment. Through an analysis of what makes an "approval addict" and the ways to find release from specific character traits that foster addiction, Joyce provides a supportive voice and a personal understanding of the effect of insecurity in one's life. Her abiding message is that God provides all the affirmation anyone needs and through Him they can attain freedom.

Union Station, Washington, and Penn Station in New York are scenes of chaos as Soneji creates a train ride to hell. With time running out, Cross must predict Soneji's next move: the lives of thousands of innocent commuters hang in the balance.

These days conventional wisdom seems to state that in order to become wealthy you must cut up your credit cards and save by putting the maximum amount of your paycheck into your 401k retirement plan.

Although this plan might work for some people, Robert Kiyosaki urges readers to try a different approach. He outlines how to get rid of "bad debt," including credit card bills, and other unsecured debt, while maximizing "good debt," such as home mortgages or other investments. Kiyosaki's plan will help readers finally break through the psychological barriers of self-doubt that can serve as the biggest obstacle to becoming rich.

In the ever-changing world of sales, there is no single, surefire, tried-and-true method that can be readily imitated by anyone to miraculously improve performance. In fact, the world's best salespeople are not characterized at all by their technique. But they do share one common trait: Successful sales reps use their individual aptitudes to succeed in their work environment. Discover Your Sales Strengths is an extraordinary program built upon the concept that every person already possesses the tools necessary to become an amazing salesperson. Grounded in extensive Gallup research conducted over 40 years and based on hundreds of thousands of interviews with sales managers, salespeople, and consumers, it teaches individuals to focus on personal strengths and talents, and them guides them to transform those assets into solid sales skills – and successful careers.

For four decades, The Gallup Organization has been gathering information and offering data-driven advice-conducting millions of interviews, compiling thousands of statistics, and building a wealth of facts about what really makes people successful (and happy) in their fields. Now Gallup uses its expertise to offer a unique, interactive StrengthsFinder.com Profile that will identify your top five talents and character traits-and help you start getting the most from them in your sales career.

Debunking the most-repeated myths about sales-from the myth that anyone can sell to the myth that a good salesperson can sell anything – Discover Your Sales Strengths shows you:

-How to understand your top five talents in sales-and focus on the ones that will help you most effectively plan your career
-How to use your strengths to have an impact on other people-and gain a competitive advantage
-How to find the right field, the right company, and the right boss for your talents
-Why different approaches to the same sale can both succeed. (There is no one right way to sell!)

A book that only The Gallup Organization could create, Discover Your Sales Strengths offers you a powerful new knowledge of who you are, what you're good at, and how you work best. And in today's world of sales, that is the most powerful tool of all.

Crime Beat

Normal Price: $20.75

Before he became a novelist, Michael Connelly was a crime reporter, covering the detectives who worked the homicide beat, In these vivid, hard-hitting articles, Connelly leads the listener past the yellow police tape as he follows the investigators, the victims, their families and friends—and, of course, the killers—to tell the real stories of murder and its aftermath.Connelly’s firsthand observations would lend inspiration to his novels. His first book, The Black Echo , was drawn from a real-life bank heist, while Trunk Music was based on an unsolved case of a man found in the trunk of his Rolls-Royce. And the vital details of Connelly’s best-known characters, both heroes and villains, would get their realism from the cops and killers he reported on: tram loner detective Harry Bosch to the manipulative serial killer the Poet.

Crime Beat presents stories as fascinating as they are chilling, from the serial killer of young models who cuts a swath across the country to elude police, to the man who leads a bizarre double life on two coasts before his elaborate hoax breaks down. Here, too, we can see Connelly’s razor-sharp eye for telling details: a worn-down earpiece on a cop’s Eyeglasses, the revealing high school yearbook quotes of an alleged cold-blooded murderer, the checkered career of a bumbling gang of killers who publicly advertise their services.
Stranger than fiction and every bit as gripping, these pieces show once again that Michael Connelly is not only a master of his craft but also one of the great American writers in any form. Crime Beat confirms why the Washington Post distinguishes Connelly as “the real thing, taking us in to the parts of the real America that most of our novelists never visit because they don’t even know where, or what, they are. ”

Connelly is a former journalist and the author of the bestsellmg series of Harry Bosch novels, along with the bestselling novels The Lincoln Lawyer, Chasing the Dime, Void Moon, Blood Work, and The Poet. Connelly has won numerous awards for his journalism and novels, including an Edgar® Award .

Len Cariou is a distinguished stage, television and film actor. He won a Tony Award for his performance in Sweeney Todd . He has read several books for Time Warner AudioBooks.

Carl Franklin is an acclaimed actor and director whose films as a director include One False Move; Devil in a Blue Dress and Out of Time, both starring Denzel Washington ; and One True Thing , starring Meryl Streep and Renee Zellweger .

Nancy McKeon has been a series regular on The Division, Style and Substance, The Facts of Life, and Can’t Hurry Love (which she also produced). Nancy read Street Dreams by Faye Kellerman for Time Warner Audiobooks
