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.

Bad Childhood, Good Life

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.

You've been asked before, "Don't tell anyone the ending." With Honeymoon, don't tell anyone the beginning either.

How does it feel to be desired by every man and envied by every woman? Wonderful. This is the life Nora Sinclair has dreamed about, the life she's worked hard for, the life she will never give up. Meet Nora Sinclair.

When FBI agent John O'Hara first sees her, she seems perfect. She has the looks. The career. The clothes. The wit. The sophistication. The tantalizing sex appeal. The whole extraordinary package – and men fall in line to court her. She doesn't just attract men, she enthralls them. If you dare.

So why is the FBI so interested in Nora Sinclair? Mysterious things keep happening to people around her, especially the men. And there is something dangerous about Nora when Agent O'Hara looks closer – something that lures him at the same time that it fills him with fear.

3rd Degree

Normal Price: $16.18

Offer Price: $12.45

The #1 bestselling new mystery series of the past decade comes roaring back with 3rd Degree, a shockingly suspenseful thriller featuring the Women's Murder Club.

One of James Patterson's best loved heroines is about to die. Detective Lindsay Boxer is jogging along a beautiful San Francisco street when a fiery explosion rips through the neighborhood. A town house owned by an Internet millionaire is immediately engulfed in flames, and when Lindsay plunges inside to search for survivors, she finds three people dead. An infant who lived in the house cannot be found – and a mysterious message at the scene leaves Lindsay and the San Francisco Police Department completely baffled.

Then a prominent businessman is found murdered under bizarre circumstances, with another mysterious message left behind by the killer. Lindsay asks her friends Claire Washburn of the medical examiner's office, Assistant D.A. Jill Bernhardt, and Chronicle reporter Cindy Thomas to help her figure out who is committing these murders-and why they are intent on killing someone every three days.

Even more terrifying, the killer has targeted one of the four friends who call themselves the Women's Murder Club.

Which one will it be?

While the investigation rages furiously, Lindsay works very closely with a federal officer assigned to the case. At the same time, she learns that one member of the Women's Murder Club is hiding a secret so dangerous and unbelievable that it could destroy them all.

Words That Work

Normal Price: $20.98

Offer Price: $16.14

Why are some people so much better than others at talking their way into a job or out of trouble? What makes some advertising jingles cut through the clutter of our crowded memories? What's behind winning campaign slogans and career-ending political blunders? Why do some speeches resonate and endure while others arc forgotten moments after they are given?

The answers lie in the way words are used to influence and motivate, the way they connect thought and emotion. And no person knows more about the intersection of words and deeds than language architect and public-opinion guru Dr. Frank Luntz. In Words That Work, Dr. Luntz not only raises the curtain on the craft of effective language, but also offers priceless insight on how to find and use the right words to get what you want out of life. Whether your goal is to boost company sales, win political office, inspire your employees, or get that raise you deserve, Dr. Luntz has something instructive to say about how language can help. Learn about the phenomenon of transforming mere words into an effective arsenal for the war of perception we all wage each and every day.

DR FRANK LUNTZ was named the "hottest pollster in America" by the Boston Globe, and "has a special expertise, one that happens to be in demand these days" according to The New York Times. He is sought by CEOs of Fortune 100 companies, political candidates, public advocacy groups, and world leaders – just about anyone who wants to know how to say things better and more effectively. Dr. Luntz has supervised more than 1,200 surveys and focus groups in twenty countries, and has engineered some of the most potent political and corporate campaigns of the last decade.

Uniquely among authors of naval fiction, Patrick O’Brian’s characters develop with experience, and although the Jack Aubrey of 'Treason’s Harbour' has a record of successes to equal that of the most brilliant of Nelson’s band of brothers, and is no less formidable or decisive in action, he has grown wiser, kinder and gentler too.

Much of the novel’s plot concerns intelligence and counter-intelligence, the field in which Aubrey’s friend Stephen Maturin excels, and there is action and excitement aplenty, but it is the atmosphere of Malta that is so freshly and vividly conveyed here, crowded with senior officers waiting for news of the French and wondering whether the war will end before they get their turn for prize money and fame.

Reviews

‘A mirror to Nelson’s navy – compulsively readable.’
Hammond Innes

‘Aubrey and Maturin are men to believe in as they come to terms with their comfortable flaws against an exceedingly accurate Maltese backdrop in this, the ninth Aubrey novel. More power to your yardarm, Mr O’Brian.’
