    The Lost Continent: Travels in Small-Town America

    Rs. 2,290.00
    or 3 X Rs.763.33 with

    Bill Bryson

     

    Funny as this wonderful book is, it is also a serious indictment of the American way of life and the direction in which it is going… he is genuinely shocked, as we are, by the statistics of affluence, poverty, crime and culture that he drops in hither and thither ― Irish Times

     

    A very funny performance, littered with wonderful lines and memorable images ― Literary Review

     

    Hilarious… he can be suave, sarcastic and very funny… not your typical travel writer ― Sunday Telegraph

     

    lost to him because he had become a stranger in his own land. Bryson’s acclaimed first success, The Lost Continent is a classic of travel literature – hilariously, stomach-achingly, funny, yet tinged with heartache – and the book that first staked Bill Bryson’s claim as the most beloved writer of his generation.

    Better: A Surgeon’s Notes on Performance

    Rs. 1,490.00
    or 3 X Rs.496.67 with

    Atul Gawande

     

    Nowhere is the drive to do better more important than in medicine, where lives are on the line with every decision. Atul Gawande’s gripping stories take us to battlefield surgical tents in Iraq, delivery rooms in Boston, a polio outbreak in India, and malpractice courtrooms in the US. He discusses the ethical dilemma of lethal injections, examines the influence of money on modern medicine, and recounts the contentious history of hand-washing. And as in all his writing, he gives us an inside look at his own life as a surgeon.

    Complications: Notes from the Life of a Young Surgeon

    Rs. 1,590.00
    or 3 X Rs.530.00 with

    Atul Gawande

     

    Atul Gawande performs surgery on medicine itself, laying bare a science that is complicated, perplexing and profoundly human. Dramatic true stories explore how mistakes occur, why good surgeons go bad, and what happens when medicine comes up against the inexplicable: an architect with incapacitating back pain but no physical cause; a young woman with nausea that won’t go away; a TV newscaster whose blushing is so severe that she cannot do her job.

    The Making of a Manager: What to Do When Everyone Looks to You

    Rs. 3,490.00
    or 3 X Rs.1,163.33 with

    Julie Zhuo

     

    I wish I’d had this book when I started managing a team at Instagram. Julie covers the full range of becoming a manager, from your first meetings with your team to accomplishing huge goals together. ― Mike Krieger, Co-Founder of Instagram

     

    Julie Zhuo had to learn to be a manager fast, as her role kept expanding in the hyper-growth environment of a successful Silicon Valley start-up. In The Making of a Manager, she shares what she learned―often, the hard way. She combines cutting-edge analysis of how organizations work with engaging and accessible examples of how theory plays out in real life, with stories of what she did right and wrong. ― Gretchen Rubin, New York Times bestselling author of The Happiness Project

     

    I’ve seen so many people thrust into management in high-growth companies with so little guidance. From now on, I will hand them this book. Its practical wisdom is immediately useful for the newly minted manager―and us old ones. ― Ev Williams, CEO of Medium and Co-founder of Twitter

     

    No idea what you’re doing? No problem. Good managers are made, not born.

     

    Top tech executive Julie Zhuo remembers the moment when she was asked to lead a team. She felt like she’d won the golden ticket, until reality came crashing in. She was just 25 and had barely any experience being managed, let alone managing others.

     

    Her co-workers became her employees overnight, and she faced a series of anxiety-inducing firsts, including agonising over whether to hire an interviewee; seeking the respect of reports who were cleverer than her; and having to fire someone she liked. Like most first-time managers, she wasn’t given any formal training, and had no resources to turn to for help. It took her years to find her way, but now she’s offering you the short-cut to success.

     

    This is the book she wishes she had on day one. Here, she offers practical, accessible advice like:

    • Don’t hide thorny problems from your own manager; you’re better off seeking help quickly and honestly
    • Before you fire someone for failure to collaborate, figure out if the problem is temperamental or just a lack of training or coaching
    • Don’t offer critical feedback in a ‘compliment sandwich’ – there’s a better way! 

      Whether you’re new to the job, a veteran leader, or looking to be promoted, this is the handbook you need to be the kind of manager you’ve always wanted.

    Jimmy Fallon
