A husband's death is possibly the most devastating event a woman will experience. She might wonder if she will be able to make it on her own. She may feel overwhelmed and not know what to do next without her partner. Kathleen's guidebook helps widows be more confident, knowledgeable and secure about their money matters. The book integrates basic financial information with self-reflective exercises that encourage financial self-assurance. Kathleen is honest about her own struggles as a widow, and she holds empathy for others. This unique guidebook is presented in a beautiful format, to help heal a woman's soul as well as gently focus on money matters. The book is not intended to teach women everything about money and financial planning immediately. When someone is emotionally overwhelmed, it s not wise to overload one's focus. Rather, widows are invited to begin looking at their money issues and then take actions in a way that builds confidence . . . as they transition into a new financial life on their own. This book may be used independently, in a collaborative approach with a professional, or in a group with facilitated conversation (such as a widow's support group, congregation class, or a women s community gathering). It's also an appropriate gift book for a widowed friend or family member.

Leading Team Alpha is a novel about a software business, Dandadata, that suddenly finds itself trailing its major competitor when they announce a new version of their product. Dean, a manager at Dandadata, has been working on NU technology with a small team of four people and must build his team and incorporate NU technology into the DandaData mainstream product to save the company.

- A quick, entertaining story illustrating the fundamentals of leadership based on scientific research

- Demonstrations of how to have effective, difficult conversations with team members

- An excellent book for leadership programs and new manager training

The academic community has studied leadership for over half a century yet little has leaked out to the business community. Leading Team Alpha is a unique book, presenting the scientifically determined fundamentals of leadership in a novel.

Sol teaches the history of leadership research, the five-factor model of personality, the role of the ego, worker motivation, and more. As we journey along with Dean we experience the depths of despair in political battles lost, the clash of diverse cultures, frustration of divergent views, and vindication with just rewards. The story takes place primarily in Ann Arbor, Michigan with several scenes in Bengaluru India.
Leading Team Alpha is a winner of the Reader View Literary Award 2010 for Business/Sales/Economics.

The funniest serious economics book ever. 12 creative and original economic proposal ideas explained so clearly that even the densest presidential hopeful can understand them. You'll find these proposals persuasive too, not just because they are brilliant, but because the author has such a facility with language that he was once able to convince a resort to sell him a timeshare. Plus, there are prizes of $500 to $1 million for the best reader-submitted idea. No qualifications necessary to "play," other than common sense. Don't be intimidated just because you don't have a Ph.D, MA, BS, BA, high-school equivalency diploma or up-to-date inspection sticker. Economics professors don't have a monopoly on good economics ideas just because they have fancy degrees, tenure, and tweed jackets with elbow patches. After all, Elvis didn't have a Ph.D in musicology, Paul McCartney can't read music, and Bob Dylan can't sing. And don't get us started on Britney Spears.
