After a sell-out first edition, we now have a new fully revised and updated second edition. Includes an all-new comprehensive chapter about the role of the CEO and the role of Directors, The Boss's Boss: Infuriating Directors. Employees who don't understand corporate politics are like defence personnel who don't understand combat. What's more liberating than financial freedom, and more reassuring than job-security? It's called career independence, whereby: what you don't have, you can obtain; what you don't know, you can learn; what you don't own, you can access; and what you don't want, you can discard. If you are an employee, this book will help you to take control of your career so that you can live a zestful and enchanting life. If you are the boss, this book will show you how to turn employees into superstars so that together, you'll know what to do when the rules run out. Jonar Nader says, 'If you choose to be a success, you'll be a success at whatever you choose, so long as you can follow your heart and watch your back.'

If love conquers all, what conquers love? All of us yearn for affection. We ache for intimacy. We pine for solace. We burn for love. Indeed, love can be baffling and tormenting. The world's troubles would lift and drift if those whom we loved, could love us in return. This book is for lovers and those who infuriate them. It is for those who have never been loved, or who have loved too much. It is for those who have never been hurt, or who have cried in the dark. It is for those who have never uttered the three magic words, or who have never heard them, or who have no words left - thanks to friends who have no idea how destructive their indifference can be. Jonar Nader, best-selling author of HOW TO LOSE FRIENDS AND INFURIATE PEOPLE will blast a few volts into your love-life. If you're lucky, you might be the one to get zapped.

A philosophical thriller with fast-paced military action, espionage, corporate corruption, human greed, romantic tension, and scientific revelations that are both worrisome and enlightening. The 'war on terror' is merely child's play. There will come a time when terrorists will declare real war, on each other, and you'll be forced to take sides. You've seen the horror that freedom-fighters can unleash. You've seen the devastation that demented terrorists can inflict. But could you combat the new breed of sophisticated terrorists who are intent on absolute power? Could you out-smart educated terrorists who seek retribution in the name of righteousness? Would you ever condone vigilante terrorists who commit the worst of acts for the purest of motives? This novel is about a group of inspired terrorists whose actions not only changed the world, but also distorted it. They made their mark in a way that no dictator or fanatic had ever managed. No think-tank and no government had ever predicted such a scenario. Would you fight for peace? Would you die for freedom? Would you kill for justice? Then again, what would convince you to surrender?

Jonar C. Nader is the anti-Dale Carnegie. Fed up with what he calls "inefficiency, inaccuracy, inconsistency, and untruths", he wrote How to Lose Friends and Infuriate People as an antidote to "winning friends", "seeking excellence", and all the other cliches that dominate -- and cripple -- the world of business leadership and personal achievement. Avoiding the anecdotes and celebrity profiles that mark many leadership books, this one offers the reader a combative new paradigm. In the three parts of the book, Nader helps readers develop their skills, work with others, and survive and prosper. This involves simple but often overlooked strategies such as standing firm, rejecting majority rule, watching out for "time thieves", valuing truth enough to speak out about it, and applying new concepts such as "mono-thought" and "swallowing your market whole". Nader's wit -- "Apart from sudden death, nature is generally fair" -- adds leavening to his insights.

Right. For two and a half decades, Yankee boss George Steinbrenner has gone out of his way to find new ways to make baseball both interesting and infuriating. What can you say about an owner who ... - pays gambler Howie Spira to try to track down unsavory information on outfielder Dave Winfield? - fires Dick Howser, the manager who guided the New York Yankees to their best regular-season record since 1963? - leaks uncomplimentary facts about his own players to the press? - nurtures a codependent relationship with the late Billy Martin, eventually hiring (and firing) the Brash One five times? - composes, and distributes to the New York media, a press release attacking his own manager, Lou Piniella, for missing a phone call? - so enrages Yogi Berra that the Hall of Famer has sworn never to reenter Yankee stadium until someone else owns the team? - goes through managers the way other people go through Kleenex? - leads Jay Leno to call Saddam Hussein the "Steinbrenner of Iraq"? Well, there certainly is one thing to say: George Steinbrenner is the most hated man in major league baseball. With this book in hand you will find yourself laughing, crying, and cursing -- sometimes all at once. And remember... The only good thing about having power is that you can use it to help other people. - Steinbrenner expounding his personal philosophy, circa 1982 Okay, George, and I'm sure you have a bridge to sell us.

Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this multi-million-copy New York Times bestseller is the definitive manual for anyone interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control – from the author of The Laws of Human Nature. In the book that People magazine proclaimed “beguiling” and “fascinating,” Robert Greene and Joost Elffers have distilled three thousand years of the history of power into 48 essential laws by drawing from the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, and Carl Von Clausewitz and also from the lives of figures ranging from Henry Kissinger to P.T. Barnum. Some laws teach the need for prudence (“Law 1: Never Outshine the Master”), others teach the value of confidence (“Law 28: Enter Action with Boldness”), and many recommend absolute self-preservation (“Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally”). Every law, though, has one thing in common: an interest in total domination. In a bold and arresting two-color package, The 48 Laws of Power is ideal whether your aim is conquest, self-defense, or simply to understand the rules of the game.
