    Identity Theft Alert: 10 Rules You Must Follow to Protect Yourself from America's #1 Crime
    Steve Weisman

    Protect yourself from identity theft!

    Nearly 17 million Americans were victimized by identity theft in 2012 alone: for 13 straight years, it has been America's #1 consumer crime. No one is immune: children, the elderly and even the dead have been victimized. Identity theft can be high-tech, low-tech, or even no tech, via "dumpster diving." You're vulnerable, and you need to act.

    Fortunately, you can take practical steps to safeguard your identity right now. In Identity Theft Alert , award-winning author and attorney Steve Weisman shows you exactly what to do, and how to do it. Equally important, he also tells you what to stop doing: the common, inadvertent behaviors that could be setting you up as a victim.

    Weisman starts with a clear-eyed assessment of the problem, helping you understand just how much risk you face. Next, he helps you understand, anticipate, and prevent all these frightening forms of identity theft:

    Identity theft via Facebook and other social media Identity theft via your iPhone or Android smartphone Theft of your credit or debit cards, and other access to your finances Crime sprees performed in your name Medical identity theft that could lead to you getting the wrong treatment – and could even kill you The fast-growing scourge of income tax identity theft, including stolen refunds

    Don't be the next victim: read this book, follow its step-by-step advice, and protect yourself!

    Confident Networking For Career Success And Satisfaction
    Stuart Lindenfield
    CONFIDENT NETWORKING FOR CAREER SUCCESS by bestselling author Gael Lindenfield and her husband Stuart is a practical and accessible self-help book everyone will benefit from.

    Good networking is vital in today's world of work. This book will enable you to build your confidence and develop the essential personal and psychological qualities and skills you need in order to build contacts, enjoy beneficial relationships, and develop a successful and exciting career. Packed with information, advice and anecdotes, including quick-fix solutions for common problems and guidelines for extroverts and introverts, CONFIDENT NETWORKING FOR CAREER SUCCESS will help you to overcome shyness, anxiety and low self-esteem and develop your communication, emotional management, organizational, relationship and electronic skills so that you can easily generate new contacts and enjoy the working life you want.

    Taking the Work Out of Networking: An Introvert's Guide to Making Connections That Count
    Karen Wickre
    The former Google executive, editorial director of Twitter and self-described introvert offers networking advice for anyone who has ever cancelled a coffee date due to social anxiety—about how to nurture a vibrant circle of reliable contacts without leaving your comfort zone.

    Networking has garnered a reputation as a sort of necessary evil in the modern business world. Some do relish the opportunity to boldly work the room, introduce themselves to strangers, and find common career ground—but for many others, the experience is often awkward, or even terrifying.

    The common networking advice for introverts are variations on the theme of overcoming or “fixing” their quiet tendencies. But Karen Wickre is a self-described introvert who has worked in Silicon Valley for 30 years. She shows you to embrace your true nature to create sustainable connections that can be called upon for you to get—and give—career assistance, advice, introductions, and lasting connections.

    Karen’s “embrace your quiet side” approach is for anyone who finds themselves shying away from traditional networking activities, or for those who would rather be curled up with a good book on a Friday night than out at a party. For example, if you’re anxious about that big professional mixer full of people you don’t know, she advises you to consider skipping it (many of these are not productive), and instead set up an intimate, one-on-one coffee date. She shows how to truly make the most out of social media to sustain what she calls “the loose touch habit” to build your own brain trust to last a lifetime.

    With compelling arguments and creative strategies, this new way to network is perfect not only for introverts, but for anyone who wants for a less conventional approach to get ahead in today’s job market.

    A timeless business classic, Who Moved My Cheese? uses a simple parable to reveal profound truths about dealing with change so that you can enjoy less stress and more success in your work and in your life.

    Exploring a simple way to take the fear and anxiety out of managing the future, Who Moved My Cheese? can help you discover how to anticipate, acknowledge, and accept change in order to have a positive impact on your job, your relationships, and every aspect of your life.
