Measuring the Non-Observed Economy: A Handbook (Statistics (Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development).)

Book Description

Good-quality, comprehensive national accounts are vital for economic policymaking and research. Exhaustive coverage is difficult to achieve, however, because some economic activities may be illegal, informal, household production for own final use, or missed because of deficiencies in the data collection system. Such activities are said to constitute the non-observed ("hidden," "underground," or "shadow") economy. This Handbook—the product of collaboration among the OECD, the IMF, ILO, ISC-CIS —identifies best practices for measuring the non-observed economy, consistent with international standards (in particular, with the System of National Accounts, 1993).

"It isn't how much you know about maintaining a positive attitude that's important," writes Keith Harrell, formerly one of IBM's top training instructors and now a popular speaker, trainer, and consultant. "It's how well, and how consistently, you put that knowledge to use." In Attitude Is Everything, Harrell teaches 10 steps for "an attitude tune-up" that "turns attitude into action." Some of these steps are identifying the attitudes that hold you back or propel you forward, reframing bad attitudes, building supportive relationships, and seeing change as opportunity. Harrell weaves his personal stories into the book, such as turning the disappointment of not being drafted by the NBA after college (which he had fully expected) into skillfully landing a job with IBM, even though he didn't have the qualifications and they weren't hiring at that time. In each section, he discusses an attitude concept, illustrates it with anecdotes, and teaches specific strategies for integrating it into your life--all in an easygoing, friendly, and motivating style. For example, the "Your Attitude Tool Kit" chapter opens with Harrell being notified in junior high school that he had to go to speech therapy for his stuttering, as he had for six years, and using affirmations to cure his stuttering on the spot. Then he teaches nine "Attitude Tools," explaining each one and showing you how to put it into action. --Joan Price

I am convinced that Attitude is Everything!.......2007-06-21

This book along with my faith is one of the key reasons why I am succeeding in my professional career. Learning to build my A team with people that connect with my vision and values as well as understanding the root causes of a bad attitude. I recognize that attitude is a choice and I'm choosing to have a Super-Fantastic attitude every single day. Thanks Dr. Attitude for the attitude tune-up!

Your attitude determines your altitude.......2007-05-05

This is a very readable and engaging bullock aimed to give you a jumpstart on your attitude. Keith Harrell is a former IBM salesman and trainer who parlayed his skills into motivational speaking. As is the case for any motivational book, the question lies in the book's lasting effect. Many of motivational books are the intellectual equivalent of Chinese food; 30 minutes after reading it, you are hungry for more and not sure what exactly you consumed. The key is implementing Harrell's suggestions.

Incidentally, if you ever get a chance to watch a live performance or tape performance of Keith Harrell, do so. I saw him on a recent PBS special and he was engaging and funny as hell.

Give your motivation a boost, even if only for a limited time, by reading and heeding "Attitude is Everything"!

Attitude is Everything.......2007-03-12

This is a great book, I first heard Keith speak when I was at a previous company. Keith was speaking in the office in the U.S. and I listened from a speaker phone in the UK. I'm not easily impressed by motivational speakers but I was with Keith, so impressed that I bought his book on cassette so I could listen in the car. After following Keiths advice and tips I had a new outlook on life and also understood why sometimes things did not go my way, what Keith gives you are tools to help understand your current situation, what you want to achieve and how to go about achieving the correct mindset to reach your goals. Years later, I have lost the cassettes so I have purchased the book again. I've been walking 25% faster ever since :o)

Powerful attitude changing steps.......2006-07-24

Really enjoyed reading this book. Beleive it will help change my life. Becuase attitude is everything. I truely beleive that statement. Must have for the person who wants to be a winner in life. Great for a person who thinks negatively all the time.

Uplifting, and..........2006-03-15

I bought the audio-CD version of this book and I am glad I did; I don't think I would have finished it by reading.

The utility of Keith Harrell's book is not as a "self-help" book from the standpoint of helping the reader to identify changes to make in her or his life, then giving you helpful steps to make those desired changes. The value of Keith's story is in his personal stories, which individually and collectively are uplifting and provide vivid examples of "he turned it around, so can I". I identified with some of Keith's stories, which was helpful since they reminded me of my own limiting attitudes and how they effect my "circumstances".

His message reminds me of what I already know, that I have attitudes that are affecting my results, and I need to change certain ones to get the results I really want. Keith doesn't tell me 'how' nearly as well as others might, but he shares a compelling message of 'what' and 'why' attitude is everything. If you recognize the powerful force of your attitudes, both those that propel you forward and those that hold you back, then buy the audio-CD version of this book and listen to it more than once.

A major lack of originality........1999-06-18

The author not only doesn't say anything new, but the information he provides is trite and superficial. Sorry, I know that goes against the grain of "positive thinking," but I was really hoping for something original. He uses large type to fill up space, and devotes whole pages to his own simplistic quotations. If this is the first motivational you'll read, you'll be much better served by reading something by Dennis Waitley or Brian Tracy.

Awesome.......1999-05-30

Saw Keith speak in person. MOTIVATING to say the least. Excellent information that you will related to and begin to use.

Exciting Speaker.......1999-01-24

..Keith Harrell recently spoke to a group of students for a conference and was so exciting and uplifting. I plan on buying the book. He has changed me. What a great man..

This book will show you how to choose a more vibrant life........1999-01-13

This book contains steps to help you improve all aspects of your life through an improved attitude. Each step reflects on how your attitude impacts your life. Improve how you view today, and change your tomorrow. This is a practical "workbook" for making and then embracing change a small step at a time. - STRONGEST RECOMENDATION!

An absolute necessity for the customer service industry.......1998-07-17

This book gives the reader a perspective on how an individual's attitude can be his biggest personal asset. Positive attitude development opportunities abound throughout the book, with many thought-provoking exercises and quotes which address the author's unique perspective.

Customer Reviews:

If I'd only read it three years ago!!.......2002-01-03

This is a great book. If I'd read it three years ago when it first came out, I'd be very wealthy today. However, I did just the OPPOSITE of what this book said to do, thus, I lost a lot. Robert Logan's book, is a great learning tool. It is concise, to the point, and very prophetic. Here we are in the midst of one the worse recessions in history, and one of the worse bear markets in history, and Logan saw it coming 3 years go. Great book!! I wish he'd write another one about the NEXT 3 years (2002-2005).
