A practical guide to address race in the workplace For too long,
the workplace has outsourced the uncomfortable work of addressing
systemic racism to the police, politicians, talk show hosts,
celebrities, red carpet sound bites and "reality" TV. It's time for
change. The workplace is the perfect place to constructively
address race because it's where hundreds of thousands of people
gather daily to pursue a shared purpose. And it's often the first
or only place people interact with others from a different race or
cultural background. Regardless of our hierarchical position within
an organization, we each can take a stand. Systemic racism can only
be addressed with systemic change. But you can't solve what you
can't talk about. Talking about race in the workplace has been
taboo for so long. That's why organizations must ready their
environments-at both the individual and enterprise levels-before
diving headfirst. The inner work of raising our own awareness and
creating new ways of thinking and being, and the outer work
organizations must perform to develop and implement strategies,
initiatives, policies and practices to reimagine a racially
equitable workplace are journeys, not programs. The Business of
Race is a practical guide for business leaders and employees alike
who are struggling with both how to talk about race and what to do
about it. The book offers concrete ways businesses large and small
can make positive, sustainable changes to bring more racial
diversity, inclusion and equity to the workplace. Readers will
learn more than a half-dozen tools that bring an asset view of
race, rather than a deficit view, such as SOAR and growth mindset.
Readers will also learn to reach for familiar tools they use nearly
every day, such as strategic planning and project management, to
implement other priorities and apply them to the deeply complex,
emotional and intimidating dynamic of race in the workplace. But
don't confuse accessibility with ease. This is hard work. Woven
throughout are interviews from more than two dozen business
professionals across diverse industries, fields, and organizational
levels. Their stories are not meant to be formulaic. Rather, they
bring voice to the challenges and opportunities businesses face
everyday and give the reader the courage they need to embark on or
continue their own race journey.
Life is not what you get out of it . . . it's what you put back in.
Yet our current means for summarizing life's work, from resumes to
salaries, are devoid of what matters most. This is why the work we
do is often bad for our wellbeing, when it should be making us
happier and healthier. What are the most meaningful contributions
we can make? This is Life's Great Question. Life is about what you
do that improves the world around you. It is about investing in the
development of other people. And it is about efforts that will
continue to grow when you are gone. Life's Great Question will show
you how to make your work and life more meaningful, and greatly
boost your wellbeing. In this remarkably quick read, author Tom
Rath describes how finding your greatest contribution is far more
effective than following talent or passion alone. More than a book,
each copy includes a code for an online program that identifies the
most significant contributions you can make. This deeply practical
book will alter how you look at your work and change the way you
live each day.
Through the story of a little boy named Felix, this charming book
explains to children how being kind not only helps others, it helps
them, too. As he goes about his day, Felix interacts with different
people -- his sister Anna, his grandfather, other family and
friends. Some people are happy, but others are grumpy or sad. Using
the metaphor of a bucket and dipper, Felix' grandfather explains
why the happy people make Felix feel good, while the others leave
him feeling bad -- and how Felix himself is affecting others,
whether he means to or not. This beautifully illustrated adaptation
takes the original book's powerful message -- that the way we
relate to others has a profound effect on every aspect of our lives
-- and tailors it to a child's unique needs and level of
understanding.
Much of what we think will improve our well-being is either
misguided or just plain wrong. Contrary to what many people
believe, well-being isn't just about being happy. Nor is it only
about being wealthy or successful. And it's certainly not limited
to physical health and wellness. In fact, focusing on any of these
elements in isolation may drive us to frustration and even a sense
of failure. When striving to improve our lives, we are quick to
purchase books that promise to help us make money, lose weight, or
strengthen our relationships. While it might be easier to treat
these critical areas in our lives as if they operate independently,
they don't. Gallup's comprehensive study of people in more than 150
countries revealed five universal, interconnected elements that
shape our lives: Career Well-Being Social Well-Being Financial
Well-Being Physical Well-Being Community Well-Being Well-Being: The
Five Essential Elements will provide you with a holistic view of
what contributes to your well-being over a lifetime. Written in a
conversational style by #1 New York Times bestselling author Tom
Rath and bestselling author Jim Harter, Ph.D., this book is filled
with fascinating research and novel ideas for boosting your
well-being in each of these five areas. As a complement to the
book, you will have the opportunity to use Gallup's online
Well-Being Finder to help you track and improve your well-being
over time. By the time you finish reading this book, you should
have a better understanding of what makes life worthwhile. This
will enable you to enjoy each day and get more out of your life -
and perhaps most importantly, boost the well-being of your friends,
family members, colleagues, and others in your community.

years, Tom has assembled a wide range of information on the impact
of eating, moving, and sleeping. Written in his classic
conversational style, Eat Move Sleep features the most proven and
practical ideas from his research. This remarkably quick read
offers advice that is comprehensive yet simple and often
counterintuitive but always credible. Eat Move Sleep will help you
make good decisions automatic -- in all three of these
interconnected areas. With every bite you take, you will make
better choices. You will move a lot more than you do today. And you
will sleep better than you have in years. More than a book, Eat
Move Sleep is a new way to live.

ourselves and others. Are You Fully Charged? will challenge you to
