This version includes color photos.Can you imagine waking up every Thursday morning to an engaging email containing an essay of gratitude? Better yet, could you envision finding this thank you note coming from your boss? For a year, Nicholas Kartsonis took his direct reports on a fascinating odyssey exploring a variety of topics. Most essays show gratitude for the wonders of modern science, with a focus on medical discoveries in infectious disease, vaccinology, and microbiology that have changed the course of humanity. Along the way, Nick also shares his appreciation for people, places, and events that have personally touched him in his own journey as a physician, a father, and a sports fan. He chose the timing of each essay to correspond to an important event in history, and uses this association to recount the significance of each achievement. This book showcases Nick's favorite stories, each showing the positive side of a world often dominated by negativity, mistrust, and skepticism.

A scientifically groundbreaking, eloquent look at how we benefit -- psychologically, physically, and interpersonally -- when we practice gratitude. In Thanks!, Robert Emmons draws on the first major study of the subject of gratitude, of “wanting what we have,” and shows that a systematic cultivation of this underexamined emotion can measurably change people’s lives."--

Teacher Misery perfectly encapsulates the comical misery that has become the teaching profession. Morris' strange, funny, and sometimes unbelievable teaching experiences are told through a collection of short stories, essays and artifacts including real emails from parents, students and administrators. From the parents who blame their son's act of arson on the teacher for causing him low self-esteem, to the student who offers to teach the teacher how to sell drugs so she can pay her bills, to the administrator whose best advice is to "treat kids like sacks of shit," one story is more shocking than the next. An important read for teachers and non-teachers alike-- Teacher Misery paints an amusing and thoroughly entertaining picture of what has become of our education system, without detracting from the overall point that what teachers have to put up with today is complete, utter, unacceptable insanity.
