A leading workplace expert provides an inspirational, practical, and forward-looking career playbook for recent grads, career changers, and transitioning professionals looking to thrive in today’s rapidly evolving workplace. Covid-19 has heightened career uncertainty in a work landscape dominated by turbulence and change, and it is directly impacting how people are entering—or re-entering—the workplace. But as Lindsey Pollak makes clear, the pandemic merely accelerated career and hiring trends that have been building. Changes that were once slowly spreading have been rapidly implemented across all industries. This means that the old job hunting and career success rules no longer apply. Job seekers of all generations and skill sets must learn how to thrive in this “new normal,” which will include a hybrid of remote and in-person experiences, increased reliance on virtual communication and automation, constant disruption, and renewed employer emphasis on workers’ health and well-being. While this new world is complicated and constantly evolving, you won’t have to navigate it alone. For twenty years, Pollak has been following the trends and successfully advising young professionals and organizations on workplace success. Now, she guides you through the changes currently happening—and those to come. Combining insights from both experts and professionals across generations, she provides encouraging, strategic, and actionable advice on making lifelong decisions about education; building a resilient personal brand; using virtual communication to remotely interview, network, and work; skilling and reskilling for the future; and maintaining self-care and mental health. Like your personal GPS, Pollak equips you to handle workplace obstacles, helping you see them as challenges to navigate rather than impossible roadblocks. There is no perfect path to a dream career, but with Recalculating you’ll be prepared with the necessary skills and tools to succeed.

The poems in Recalculating take readers on a journey through the history and poetics of the decades since the end of the Cold War as seen through the lens of social and personal turbulence and tragedy.

God’s original design for marriage is under attack. Activists have used the media, political correctness, and the courts to advance LGBT and same-sex marriage agendas. In 2015, the United States Supreme Court granted the right to same-sex marriage. To help redirect the immoral trends, Christians must know God’s original design for marriage and vote their conscience. In “Recalculating” Marriage, author Edward W. Kaleefey explores the need for an infallible moral authority regarding marriage and related issues— such as arranged marriages, celibacy, monogamy and polygamy, divorce and remarriage, and same-sex marriage—Kaleefey shows how same-sex marriage is neither rational, logical, nor moral. Thus, Christians should stop supporting sexual immorality, stand for sexual purity in marriage, and start reshaping society’s view of marriage according to God’s will. “Recalculating” Marriage emphasizes the objective, infallible authority of God’s Word, and it provides a timely and comprehensive treatment of marriage and related issues of sexuality and human relationships. Believers will be informed, challenged, and importantly, motivated to express biblically based convictions in the market place and at the ballot box.

A short story from the number one bestselling author of Good In Bed On the surface, Maureen's life appears no different from any other stereotypical 54-year-old housewife's: a suburban home in a small Pennsylvania town, two loving kids, grandchildren, and a husband to dote on at the end of the day with a home-cooked meal and a crisp martini. Fat bitch, dumb bunny, slut, tramp: these are just a few of the cruel words that echo in Maureen's ears every day and define the harsh reality she actually lives in. For years, Maureen has harbored a dark secret known by only one other person: her husband, Tommy. After Tommy dies, Maureen imagines that the years of physical and mental abuse are over. But just six months later, while looking for the Halloween decorations in the attic, Maureen finds a gift-wrapped GPS with her name on the box: an early birthday present from her late husband. When the voice from the machine starts giving her sinister directions, she learns that sometimes the dead are restless... and she's locked in a battle not just for her life, but for her soul.
