For anyone tired of chasing ever–elusive desires, of doing more only to find that more needs doing, and of making more money only to need more money, best–selling author Chin–Ning Chu shows you that life was meant to be easy, if you know the secrets. From the best–selling author of The Working Woman's Art of War, comes an important and timely book about the side of success that most don't know about 注e power of selective yielding, of surrendering to a successful destiny, and of getting what you want by not wanting it too much. Using Carl Jung's famous parable of the rainmaker as a framework, Chin–Ning Chu explains universal truths about the nature of effort, success, willpower, detachment, "creating luck," and more. Illustrating the four "secrets of the rainmaker" with rich anecdotes from history, personal experience, and popular culture, Ching–Ning explains how to create success by attaining inner harmony, how to partner effort with ease, how to make peace with time, and how to stop reacting and start restfully controlling the events of your life.

This provocative book explores the ideology of truth and deception in China, offering a nuanced perspective on social interaction in different cultural settings. Drawing on decades of fieldwork in China, Susan D. Blum offers an authoritative examination of rules, expectations, and beliefs regarding lying and honesty in society. Blum points to a propensity for deception in Chinese public interactions in situations where people in the United States would expect truthfulness, yet argues that lying is evaluated within Chinese society by moral standards different from those of Americans. Chinese, for example, might emphasize the consequences of speech, Americans the absolute truthfulness. Blum considers the longstanding values that led to this style of interaction, as well as more recent factors, such as the government's control over expression. But Chinese society is not alone in the practice of such customs. The author observes that many Americans also excel in manipulation of language, yet find a simultaneous moral absolutism opposed to lying in any form. She also considers other traditions, including Japanese and Jewish, that struggle to control the boundaries of lying, balancing human needs with moral values in contrasting ways. Deception and lying, the book concludes, are distinctively cultural yet universal—inseparable from what it is to be a human being equipped with language in all its subtlety.

Can a quote from a business executive, taken out of its original context, be instructive in our most personal relationships? Tom Hagerty thinks so and he has written over fifty essays using these leaders' quotes as the foundation for developing better perspective and resilience, greater trust and commitment, a sense of risk and priority, and other qualities necessary for vibrant connections with our families and friends. Hagerty writes for everyone who wants to be better at the tough stuff of being in relationships that really matter. Some of the quotes he uses to create an actionable plan for improvement are "Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life" (Steve Jobs). "Each one of us is more than the worst thing we have ever done" (Sheryl Sandberg). "Clock watchers never seem to be having a good time" (James Cash Penney). "When you lead change, sometimes you get arrows in your back" (Carly Fiorina) "When you are creating things that are new, you have to be prepared to be on the edge of risk" (Michael Eisner). "If you think you're too small to have an impact, try going to bed with a mosquito" (Anita Roddick). "Change before you have to" (Jack Welch). "The rearview mirror is always clearer than the windshield" (Warren Buffett). Written in an accessible and reflective tone of empathy, The Business of Relationships is a book that can be referenced to work on a specific quality or read from start to finish. Part biography and part self-help, it delivers simple insights into the most challenging yet rewarding aspects of our vital interpersonal relationships. And some of these nuggets could even become a daily mantra!

A systematic examination of Chinese communication scholarship and comprehensive critique of its theories and methodologies are long overdue, and in this new collection of essays by a multicultural group of scholars, both aims are achieved. Focusing on such relatively new fields as Chinese health communication and Chinese communication on the internet, the volume addresses key questions about the state and the future of its field. Both challenging and complementing the Western views of communication, it advances theories of cultural and intercultural communication while at the same time broadening our understanding of the relevance of Chinese communication studies to communication studies overall, and the ways in which this subdiscipline points the way toward a new and more complicated future. The essayists, whose origins include the United States, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and China, bring their many perspectives to bear on what is the most comprehensive and inclusive review of Chinese communication research literature published in English. Of great benefit to Western and Eastern communication theorists, philosophers of social science, and Asian studies scholars, Chinese Communication Theory and Research is an invaluable guide to an increasingly complex and significant field of study.
