In the course of their 20+-year engineering careers, authors Brian Fitzpatrick and Ben Collins-Sussman have picked up a treasure trove of wisdom and anecdotes about how successful teams work together. Their conclusion? Even among people who have spent decades learning the technical side of their jobs, most haven’t really focused on the human component. Learning to collaborate is just as important to success. If you invest in the "soft skills" of your job, you can have a much greater impact for the same amount of effort. The authors share their insights on how to lead a team effectively, navigate an organization, and build a healthy relationship with the users of your software. This is valuable information from two respected software engineers whose popular series of talks—including "Working with Poisonous People"—has attracted hundreds of thousands of followers.

This book examines issues and implications of digital and social media marketing for emerging markets. These markets necessitate substantial adaptations of developed theories and approaches employed in the Western world. The book investigates problems specific to emerging markets, while identifying new theoretical constructs and practical applications of digital marketing. It addresses topics such as electronic word of mouth (eWOM), demographic differences in digital marketing, mobile marketing, search engine advertising, among others. A radical increase in both temporal and geographical reach is empowering consumers to exert influence on brands, products, and services. Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and digital media are having a significant impact on the way people communicate and fulfil their socio-economic, emotional and material needs. These technologies are also being harnessed by businesses for various purposes including distribution and selling of goods, retailing of consumer services, customer relationship management, and influencing consumer behaviour by employing digital marketing practices. This book considers this, as it examines the practice and research related to digital and social media marketing.

The quiet masses: the curse of being shyShyness exists in every corner of the world, every level of society, every workplace and school, in boardrooms, bars, churches and bus stops, in places large and small. The digital age, with all the interconnection it offers, has only made things worse. For those living under the shyness curse, life can be discomforting at best and terrifying at worst. While many people experiencing social anxiety simply resign themselves to the fact and retreat from social interaction, this need not be the case. OK, so I am shy. So what? That’s just who I am.While shyness may seem just as much a part of you as your elbow, the difference between your elbow and your shyness is that you weren’t born with your shyness. It was cultivated and fostered over the years (quite possibly unknowingly) through the processes of your (sneaky) mind. There is good news here for you. You might never succeed at thinking away your elbow, but you can apply your mind’s amazing power to banish your social anxiety for good! I’ve tried overcoming my shyness before, I am just not sure it’s worth it.OK, so there are shy people who live content lives despite their affliction. But how many of them could honestly claim to have lived a truly full and rewarding life? Experiencing the full richness and beauty of our world requires some measure of confidence and the ability to create real, meaningful human relationships. In addition to receiving what others have to offer, those comfortable interacting with new people are also able to give of themselves in enriching ways. Such symbiosis requires the ability to reach out to others, to trust the unknown. But that unknown, that’s the uncomfortable part.And that is ok! Growth often requires stepping outside of your comfort zone. Author Michal Stawicki knows this firsthand and has seen the extraordinary results. Michal was once painfully shy, and it limited him in his personal, professional, and social life. So, when he set out to change his life, he knew that his shyness had to go. And go it did! It wasn’t always comfortable, but it also wasn’t that difficult. But it can’t be that easy, right?From Shy to Hi follows Michal’s successful 10 Minutes Philosophy, a strategy that has helped Michal and thousands of his readers to bring about big changes in their lives through small, but sustained action. You will not go from “wallflower” to “the life of the party” overnight. Instead the book offers practical, easy-to-implement strategies to help you dismantle your social anxiety through daily, non-intimidating steps.

Picking up where Quiet ended, How to Be Yourself is the best book you’ll ever read about how to conquer social anxiety. “This book is also a groundbreaking road map to finally being your true, authentic self.” —Susan Cain, New York Times, USA Today and nationally bestselling author of Quiet Up to 40% of people consider themselves shy. You might say you’re introverted or awkward, or that you're fine around friends but just can't speak up in a meeting or at a party. Maybe you're usually confident but have recently moved or started a new job, only to feel isolated and unsure. If you get nervous in social situations—meeting your partner's friends, public speaking, standing awkwardly in the elevator with your boss—you've probably been told, “Just be yourself!” But that's easier said than done—especially if you're prone to social anxiety. Weaving together cutting-edge science, concrete tips, and the compelling stories of real people who have risen above their social anxiety, Dr. Ellen Hendriksen proposes a groundbreaking idea: you already have everything you need to succeed in any unfamiliar social situation. As someone who lives with social anxiety, Dr. Hendriksen has devoted her career to helping her clients overcome the same obstacles she has. With familiarity, humor, and authority, Dr. Hendriksen takes the reader through the roots of social anxiety and why it endures, how we can rewire our brains through our behavior, and—at long last—exactly how to quiet your Inner Critic, the pesky voice that whispers, "Everyone will judge you." Using her techniques to develop confidence, think through the buzz of anxiety, and feel comfortable in any situation, you can finally be your true, authentic self.
