We've written this book to help you negotiate the best possible severance deal. Maybe this just happened to you. Maybe you are worried that it might happen to you. You are called into your supervisor's office, a human resources person is sitting there, and your boss starts by saying, "This is not going to be a pleasant conversation." Within ten minutes, you discover that you have been laid off. You might also find out that that your email account has already been locked, that you must immediately remove all personal items from your office, and that you will hand in your company ID badge today as you walk out of the building for the last time (perhaps escorted by a security officer.) But before you leave, your boss adds, "I'm so sorry we have to do this, as I really care about you personally. Luckily, I've been able to get you a decent severance deal. All you need to do is sign this release letter." Not wanting to jeopardize the "gift" they are offering you, you lean over the desk to sign the letter. STOP! Don't sign anything! Never agree to anything in that meeting. The dance has just begun.

How to Protect Yourself from the Tricks and Traps of Real Estate. Buying or selling a house? Who can you trust? Every year thousands of people throughout Australia buy or sell a home. For most it is the biggest and single most important financial decision they will make. And most will put themselves in the hand of a real estate agent believing that the agent will ensure that their interests will come first. In the majority of cases, that belief is misplaced and rip-offs will bilk the consumer of thousands of dollars. In this new book, Neil Jenman sets out clearly and unequivocally, the trickery and deception that is rife - indeed, universal practice - throughout the real estate industry. It is an extraordinary litany of outrageous behaviour, intimidation through bullying and manipulation, and dubious business practices. His advice is always don't sign anything without understanding what is involved or without a guarantee that you are protected. Chapter by Chapter, the book uncovers the traps that every consumer should be aware of and shows how they can protect themselves from unscrupulous agents and unethical practices. Starting with the quote lie, Neil Jenman outlines how the seller is progressively played like a fish on a line: there's the advertising rort, the dummy bidding fraud, insider trading robbery, auction tricks and the inspection charade. On the other hand, buyers often lose out on the house they really want through incompetence or worse, and investors get caught in scams and in get-rich-quick real estate seminars. Numerous true examples illustrate vividly the unhappy and costly experiences of so many. The book includes:- How to discover the value of your home- Protecting yourself and the value of your house from activity marketing- How auctions really work- How to sell and buy without agents- Investment traps- 16 safety requirements give the consumer control when buying or selling real estate 'Don't Sign Anything' should, in fact, must be required reading for every real estate consumer before taking one step in the buying or selling procedure.

It was meant to be a two-week holiday to celebrate her sister's birthday, but for Schapelle Corby it ended up a waking nightmare. Arrested at Denpasar airport after marijuana was found in her luggage, she became the victim of every traveller's darkest fear. Over four kilograms of drugs had been planted in her bag after she'd checked it in and she was forced to face the consequences of someone else's crime in a country where the penalties for drug smuggling are among the harshest in the world. Her trial and conviction became one of the biggest news stories of the decade and her family watched in horror as she was sentenced to 20 years in jail. Yet despite the huge media coverage, the one voice the public never properly heard was Schapelle's. Now, in this compelling book, she tells her own story: of being wrenched from a carefree holiday and incarcerated in a stinking police cell and of learning to survive - in the squalor, discomfort and violence of an Indonesian jail. It is an account like no other and will be one of the most unforgettable books you'll ever read.

#1 New York Times Bestseller Over 10 million copies sold In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be "positive" all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people. For decades, we’ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F**k positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let’s be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn’t sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is—a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let’s-all-feel-good mindset that has infected American society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up. Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited—"not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault." Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek. There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.
