Book Description

Living and working delivers a series of unexpected events--some good, some not so good. Dr. Judith Briles calls them "cosmic gooses." Most of them are life changing, and if you had your druthers, you wouldn't want to experience them again. Cosmic gooses can zap your confidence.

Based on a nationwide survey of 1300 plus women and men, you will be taken on a journey of the good, the bad, and the ugly and learn how to grow and thrive when a cosmic goose lands at your doorstep.

You will hear the experiences and voices of hundreds of men and women who have encountered both workplace and personal events that have taken them on a roller coaster ride of their lifetime--their cosmic goose. Not only did they survived, they thrived.

Judith Briles encourages you to be the person you want to be--not the one someone else thought you should be. In her friendly and personal writing style, she delivers the 10 Steps to Building Confidence, steps that will provide the core ingredients for improving who and what you are.

You'll discover that a cosmic goose can lay the golden egg for your career. . .and your life. It's the Confidence Factor!

Winner of Best Business Motivation Book 2002--.......2002-07-10

The Confidence Factor was awarded the "Best Business Motivation Book from the Colorado Independent Publishers Association annual awards event in June 2002.

How this book motivated me.......2001-05-04

I was in a rut, scared and irritated with life. After a strong recommendation from a friend, I read The Confidence Factor. Wow. This book is not only about the philosophy of confidence, but actual ways to address my personal situations. Because of the insights Dr. Briles shared, I now surround myself with respected and positive people. I admit my failures and faults -- I am NOT the only goof. There's a whole world of them/us out there! I carry on knowing I am smarter for the experience and for the next time! I treat others better and with more respect. This is then returned to me. The list goes on...This book has helped me reevaluate my actions (to myself AND others) resulting in positive changes in my life during a very difficult (and at the time, I thought Impossible!) period. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!

For men too---.......2001-04-12

My brother was recently laid off. I bought him this book because his self-esteem was at an all time low. After reading the book, the change in him was was significant. Dr. Briles has a way of cutting through the fluff with without being harsh. I'm buying lots more books for graduation gifts. Wish I'd been given this book when I graduated. Jean Kelley

Just what I needed..........2001-03-30

Well, Dr. Briles has done it again. Her insight cuts through the usual psycho-babble and gets right to what matters most to us as human beings. This book gives us the boost we need to go out there and do what matters most to us. No more trying to meet the expectations of others first. She has really made me think and evaluate my life.

Get the Confidence Factor.......2001-03-19

The book is excellent--I have three other Briles' books--The Confidence Factor is a welcomed addition. Written in a reader friendly style, it's woven with stories and examples that I can easily relate to.

After reading it, I realized I wasn't so alone when I experienced a major workplace problem--and that the author gave me some valuable tips on how to turn the mess that I dound myself in around. Recommend this book for everyone.

Best vegetable cookbook I've ever seen!.......2001-05-10

I wanted to send this cookbook to all of my sisters and sisters in law for Mother's Day and find here ... This is the best vegetable cookbook I've ever seen, with recipes categorized into groups according to the parts of the world that they come from... eastern Europe, western Europe, Italy, the Middle East, India, the Far East, the Caribbean, and Mexico. Every dish I've made has turned out to be absolutely delicious!

It's not only for the vegetarian, these recipes are great for main and side dishes, buffets, potlucks, and appeal to people with all tastes and backgrounds. I've never made a dish from this book where I haven't been asked for the recipe... A+

this is a great book!.......2000-06-15

This is the best cookbook I have ever used. I never use any other cookbooks anymore! All of the meals are really easy to make, cost effective and totally delicious with a LOT of flavor, which is sometimes unusual for vegitarian meals. I think everyone, even those not vegitarian, should have this book!

A View from a New Veggie.......2003-11-05

I've recently become a vegetarian (within the last 2 months) and I cannot rave about this book enough! I've bought about 6-7 vegetarian cookbooks recently and this one takes the cake. It is definitely worth the investment. . . . and your carnivorous friends will like the recipes as well! Bobbie Hinman includes so many different types of recipes that you'll never get bored. The directions are very thorough and it's even notated on each recipe which type of vegetarian diet it falls under (i.e. V for vegan (no dairy), O for octo, etc.)

If you buy any vegetarian cookbook, let it be this one. It's great for a beginner like myself and the recipes are fantastic. . . . they really help bridge the gap for a new veggie.

Used so much, I may have to buy a replacement soon!.......2003-07-30

I bought this book about a year ago after I decided I wanted to be a vegetarian, but had no clue how to prepare meals w/o meat. Hinman's book is definately full of great ideas. I have used so many of the recipes that the pages of the books are stained or torn from so much use.
The book is divided into several sections including: salads and dressings, grains, pastas, stove top dishes, casseroles, breads, fruits, vegetables, soups, desserts, and beverages. Definately full of recipes that have plenty of protein w/o tons of fat or calories. It is so easy to make some of these. Most recipes can be done in under 1/2 an hour. Even my texan, meat eating family has enjoyed the cooking from this recipe book. It is a MUST BUY!

William J. Altier believes that many companies fail because their leaders don't know how to think objectively. The Thinking Manager's Toolbox is Altier's front-office prescription for right thinking. He writes, "In medicine, in flying, in golf, it's the knowledge of the processes involved and the skill and experience built up by continually using them that separates the leaders from the also-rans. The same is true in business, in government, in teaching, in every profession." The book is a manual for developing a set of "thinking tools" for making choices, defining steps, timing decisions, preventing errors, and finding the root causes of unexpected change. Say you're a manager of a plant under expansion--Altier shows ways to uncover potential problems and nip them before they develop. He loads the book with written exercises, advice for teams, and step-by-step examples for planning. The Thinking Manager's Toolbox is sometimes highly technical, but provides key advice for managers looking to make the right decisions. --Dan Ring

Book Description

In this indispensable book, a widely experienced business consultant provides a complete set of analytical tools essential to successful trouble-shooting, effective planning, and making better decisions faster, more confidently, and more often. How can you help your company solve a problem in just a few days that's been plaguing managers for three months? How can you bring a room of executives to a consensus on a critical decision that the CEO and his committee have been wrestling with for years? Of course, this is easier said than done. Indeed, not a week goes by without a major business media story about a company that has fallen on hard times and an executive that has resigned for "personal reasons." The root of the failure is usually ineffective decision-making processes, and ultimately, bad decisions. In The Thinking Manager's Toolbox, veteran consultant and renowned business thinker William J. Altier cogently presents the underpinnings of successful thinking processes and their applications, drawing on practical, real-world experiences. The first section explores the fundamentals of thinking, change, and the critical role that sound thinking processes play in effective problem solving. The second section, your basic toolbox, develops five, in-depth fundamental thinking processes. And a third section, the advanced toolbox, develops more specialized applications for creative problem solving. Here then is a valuable primer for anyone, whether a middle manager or a CEO, seeking to solve problems and make better decisions more efficiently. The Thinking Manager's Toolbox is an invaluable resource for those seeking to develop the fundamental thinking processes necessary to perform with excellence.

Customer Reviews:

A primer for those who normally "go with their gut"!.......2001-04-13

This book is an excellent primer on decision-making and problem-solving. It is especially relevant to those who normally rely on intuitive processes and fail to recognize the value that can be added by a formal decision process. The author makes a great case for the use of more formal processes and backs it up with his own experiences with business decisions.

When I read The Thinking Managers' Toolbox, the innovative framework (the organization of the toolbox) jumped out at me. The author's years of experience in helping people and organizations make decisions and solve problems shines in his presentation of a method to choose the right tool for the right problem. But the author goes beyond the organization of the toolbox into a lucid presentation of some of the tools that have worked well over the years. The author explains these tools in a readable manner that can enable the reader to apply them almost immediately.

Great book! A must read for anyone who makes decisions or who has problems (if you can read this you're included).

Do you want to see people actually solve problems together?.......2000-11-23

If you would like to see people actually solve problems together, then get this book and use the techniques Bill Altier describes. As a consultant who uses the tools described here, I can verify that they work. The thrill never ceases to watch a group of diverse people - from different groups and levels of an organization - learn that they can, in fact, work together, that among them they have the knowledge and creativity to solve problems and develop strategies.

For people who are resistant to have a team attack a problem because meetings are unproductive, this book will show you that it is the way the meeting is run that is not productive. It is the thinking process that gets the result, whether for an individual or a group, and this book shows how much better that result can be from a group.

This is not a "light-reading" pleasure book, but it is well worth the effort. It gives a great deal of detail on why and how the tools work and how to apply them. If you are willing to wade in and try these techniques, you will be surprised at how much better at problem solving both you and your people are. They may even find they like working together.

the thinking manager's toolbox.......2000-10-15

If you read the book after you've worked with him - you know he's right on the money in the real world. These are not hypothetical "what ifs". When you do what the man says your chances of success are dramatically increased.

A Practical Primer on Problem Solving and Decision Making.......2000-10-14

The operative words to describe this book are practical, relevant and readable. Useful for anyone who cares about making good decisions and dealing with managerial and leadership issues in a straight forward, no nonsense fashion. More than a reference-this book will change the way you think about change and how to lead it. It is a book for people to read, regardless where they are in the managerial hierarchy and ought to be used on a daily basis.

Great Approach.......2000-01-23

I read this book and walked away with new ideas that can be used immediately. The book challenges traditional thought and gives solutions for us to use. As a manager, I find that extremely helpful.

If you're interested in improving your managerial & leadership skills, recommend books by Blanchard & also "The Leader's Guide: 15 Essential Skills."

Book Description

To make your point, you need that one perfect statistic about government spending. Where do you find it? As anyone who has examined the Budget of the U.S. Government knows, it's not meant to be understood. The Tax Foundation has a solution: A Taxpayer's Guide to Federal Spending.

Unlike the "Citizen Guide" booklet that comes with the Budget and is designed to sell the President's ideas to the public, the Tax Foundation's fully indexed reference book mirrors the actual Budget. Organized by department, agency, program area, and individual expenditure account, it conveys all the essential information in the Budget. Readers will be able to use correct terminology with any government official they write or talk to. Pie charts give snapshots of how each department divides up its budget.

We've boiled the President's Budget down to one tenth its original size, but you won't miss a thing.

A Little Of Niceness Goes A Long Way.......2005-05-30

I work at Disney. A place to work where they pay you to be nice.... literally. We deal everyday with the public and, I must say at moments it can be a real challenge as everyone has their own agenda and mood swing. I read "Don't Take No for an Answer!". Mr. Gideon's book was a real eye opener to the phrase that the customer is always right. When I apply what I learned in the book it is much easier to deal with some of the negative people that one runs against in the theme park industry. It allows me to communicate in a much more proficient way to lead people to agree with me and see my point of view.... all while the customer still feels that they are always right. :)

Applying It To Our Sales.......2005-05-30

Being a New Yorker, I have seemingly always been able to get my clients won over to the way I want to do things. But, being a New Yorker it always seemed to be harsh and forceful in my approach. A good friend gave me "Don't Take No for an Answer!" and said with my talent it would be more of challenge to learn how to get yes out of people without force, but with kindness. I was amazed at how well Bruno's ideas work, and how much more I am able to work with people, my client list has expanded and I am now getting more and more quality referrals from my current customers! All because of reading "Don't Take No for an Answer!" Thank you Bruno!

Sales Of Intergrated System Software Needs An Edge Up.......2005-05-30

Dealing with leading edge integrated software systems all day I continually speak with technicians, programmers and a sales force that are there to solve problems for customers. It is a world that is prefaced by the words "no" and, "it can't be done" Reading "Don't Take No for an Answer!" has taught me how direct people to a greater understanding of the words "Yes" and, "it can be done!" Terrific read - truly.

Competing In The Travel Industry.......2005-05-30

Ian Ord - Travel Studio

"Don't Take No for an Answer!" gets right to the heart of the matter - getting your customers to say yes. In the travel business it is very competive and with the Internet clients think they can always find a better deal. Using Bruno Gideon's techniques have help me to increase my vacation sales to my clients, successfully without them realizing they have said yes!

Being a southern woman, I was not raised to stand up to others and get what should rightfully be coming to me.
