Why My Third Husband Will Be A Dog
his one’s for you, extraordinary ordinary women everywhere! It’s time for seriously hilarious girl-talk withNew York Times bestselling author Lisa Scottoline. She’s shared this collection of scenes from her real life, and she bets her life sounds a lot like yours . . . if you crave carbs, can’t find jeans that fit, and still believe that these two things are unrelated. Pick up this book—you’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll swear off pantyhose. Here are some examples of Lisa’s wit and wisdom: “Everybody has their pornography, and mine is the real estate ads.” “We’ll get universal health care before we get beauty salons open on Mondays, and that’s backwards. Ask any woman if she’d rather have a haircut or a mammogram, and you’ll see what I mean.” “Mothers are a natural force, and maybe an alternative source of fuel.” “Lately there’s been talk about a religion that allows polygamy, so that a man can have as many wives as he pleases. Where is the religion that allows a woman to have as many husbands as she pleases?” “I have never been in an accident, if you don’t count my two marriages.” “My mother taught us that if you eat baked beans from a can that has dents, you’ll die of botulism. This was before people injected botulism into their faces. Nowadays, the dented can will kill you, but you’ll look young.” Inspired by her wildly popular column in The Philadelphia Inquirer entitled “Chick Wit,” Why My Third Husband Will Be a Dog is a book you’ll have to put down—just to stop laughing.

The India Way
Exploding growth. Soaring investment. Incoming talent waves. India's top companies are scoring remarkable successes on these fronts—and more. How? Instead of adopting management practices that dominate Western businesses, they're applying fresh practices of their own in strategy, leadership, talent, and organizational culture. These companies' secrets are unveiled by Peter Cappelli, Harbir Singh, Jitendra Singh and Michael Useem, professors from the Wharton School of Business and authors of The India Way: How India's Top Business Leaders Are Revolutionizing Management. Drawing on interviews with leaders of India's largest firms—including Mukesh Ambani of Reliance Industries, Narayana Murthy of Infosys Technologies, and Vineet Nayar of HCL Technologies—the authors identify what Indian managers do differently, including: Looking beyond stockholders' interests to public mission and national purpose Drawing on improvisation, adaptation, and resilience to overcome endless hurdles Identifying products and services of compelling value to customers Investing in talent and building a stirring culture The authors explain how these innovations work within Indian companies, identifying those likely to remain indigenous and those that can be adapted to the Western context. With its in-depth analysis and research, The India Way offers valuable insights for all managers seeking to strengthen their organization's performance.
