The story of the Texas Rangers and their 2010 world series season.

The 2013 Bound Edition of the Newberg Report, Jamey Newberg's 14th annual book on the Texas Rangers, contains over three hundred pages commemorating the 2012 Rangers season, chronicled in daily, exhaustive, emotional detail. For any Rangers fan, this book will be one to look back on for years and years. With forewords written by Rangers Senior Director of Player Personnel A.J. Preller and Baseball Prospectus writer Jason Parks, the book not only looks back on 2012 but also serves as a primer on what Rangers fans can expect from the Rangers organization in 2013 and in the years to come. Nowhere can baseball fans find more information and analysis on the players that the Rangers are developing as future members of the major league team and, in some scenarios, as ammunition for trades meant to keep the club¿s window of contention open for years to come. The book picks up right where the 2012 Bound Edition left off, taking fans from November 2011 through October 2012, through all of the twists and turns the 2012 season took. Not just a complete record of the Rangers¿ season, the 2013 Bound Edition includes a feature section comprised of rankings and analysis of more than seventy Rangers prospects throughout the club¿s highly ranked farm system, broken down by position, making the book an invaluable primer on the players who will keep the Rangers organization in a position to win for a long time.

In our default state, our brains constantly get in the way of effective communication. They are lazy, angry, immature, and distracted. They can make a difficult conversation impossible. But Andrew Newberg, M.D., and Mark Waldman have discovered a powerful strategy called Compassionate Communication that allows two brains to work together as one. Using brainscans as well as data collected from workshops given to MBA students at Loyola Marymount University, and clinical data from both couples in therapy and organizations helping caregivers cope with patient suffering, Newberg and Waldman have seen that Compassionate Communication can reposition a difficult conversation to lead to a satisfying conclusion. Whether you are negotiating with your boss or your spouse, the brain works the same way and responds to the same cues. The truth, though, is that you don't have to understand how Compassionate Communication works. You just have to do it. Some of the simple and effective takeaways in this book include: • Make sure you are relaxed; yawning several times before (not during) the meeting will do the trick • Never speak for more than 20-30 seconds at a time. After that they other person's window of attention closes. • Use positive speech; you will need at least three positives to overcome the effect of every negative used • Speak slowly; pause between words. This is critical, but really hard to do. • Respond to the other person; do not shift the conversation. • Remember that the brain can only hold onto about four ideas at one time Highly effective across a wide range of settings, Compassionate Communication is an excellent tool for conflict resolution but also for simply getting your point across or delivering difficult news.
