100 hilarious essays, based on blindingly obvious questions, from the creators of Geeks Who Drink—led by six-time Jeopardy! champion, Christopher D. Short. The best trivia questions are usually the ones that are right on the tip of your tongue—so obvious that you may not know the answer offhand, but you should. In Duh, America’s foremost masters of pub quiz, Geeks Who Drink, will take trivia lovers on a voyage through 100 of our face-palmiest questions. Along the way, we’ll explore the blind hills and corners that make random knowledge so much fun. In hilarious, informative, bite-size essays, we’ll explore such not-really-mysteries as: -How many stars are on the Texas state flag? -Odlaw is the nemesis of what kid book character? -What’s the last word in the King James Bible? Even if you already know the “what”—and you might not!—we’ll fill in the “why.” And the when, where, and how. By the end you may feel dumber, but you’ll be smarter. We almost guarantee it! By the way, that would be one (lone) star, Waldo, and “Amen.” Duh!

"Managerial styles are influenced by habit, familiarity, and workplace culture. It's no wonder that well-intentioned professionals doing their best to be good organizational leaders often repeat unhelpful supervisory practices experienced in their early careers, even if they disliked them at the time. In the DUH! Book of Management and Supervision, the author disagrees with many accepted leadership principles (unabashedly referring to them as myths) and makes new and different approaches easier to imagine. Her challenging and controversial concepts illustrated with poignant stories suggest common-sense and immediately applicable alternatives more suitable in today's workplace"--Back cover.

Evolve yourself looks at the new scientific evidence that is changing our perception of reality, and it shows how this information personally impacts each of us - our beliefs, our spirituality, our perspective on life and our personal growth and evolution. Evolve yourself is the primer to understanding the concept of Conscious Personal Evolution. In everyday language, author Rich Rahn explains how beliefs determine our experience; why we see only what we choose to notice; and why science and religion are in agreement. It also shows that the search for meaning is the search for self and how human consciousness evolves. In light of this new scientific evidence, Evolve yourself explores what philosophers and scientists have been wrestling with for decades - man's individual relationship with life, the universe and God. It explains what each of us needs to know in order to evolve emotionally, intellectually and spiritually. Evolve yourself introduces the reader in precise, definitive terms to what is being heralded as the next phase in human development, Conscious Personal Evolution.
