Paperback. Condición: Very Good. An improbably funny account of how the purchase and restoration of a disaster of a fixer-upper saves a young marriage. When a season of ludicrous loss tests the mettle of their marriage, Matthew Batt and his wife decide not to call it quits. They set their sights instead on the purchase of a dilapidated house in the Sugarhouse section of Salt Lake City. With no homesteading experience and a full-blown quarter-life crisis on their hands, these perpetual grad students/waiters/nonprofiteers decide to seek salvation through renovation, and do all they can to turn a former crack house into a home. Dizzy with despair, doubt, and the side effects of using the rough equivalent of napalm to detoxify their house, they enter into full-fledged adulthood with power tools in hand. Heartfelt and joyous, Sugarhouse is the story of how one couple conquers adversity and creates an addition to their family, as well as their home. They thought buying a house would solve their quarter-life crisis. Instead, it introduced them to the world of home improvement--and a whole new set of problems. A Fixer-Upper with a Past: From its mysterious stains to its former life as a crack house, this dilapidated building in Salt Lake City is more than they bargained for. Salvation by Power Tool: With zero experience, Matthew and Jenae tackle everything from rotten foundations to septic carpets, learning that adulthood looks a lot like a trip to the hardware store. Laugh-Out-Loud Funny: A witty, self-deprecating story about the absurdity of trying to save a marriage by taking on a project practically designed to destroy it. A Relatable Story of Adulthood: For anyone who's ever felt like a perpetual grad student or waiter, this is a hilarious and heartfelt account of finally, messily, growing up.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. The author of influential books such as Force Under Pressure and Stoning the Keepers at the Gate, Dr. Lawrence N. Blum is a renowned expert on the psychology of police officers. With Turning Tragedy into Victory, he returns to and expands on the important subject of how to best help those who have sworn to protect and serve when they are the ones who have fallen. According to Blum, officers' lack of knowledge and skill in controlling the stress of the moment has increased their risk of being killed, assaulted, or making mistakes that cost them dearly in career or family relationships. Through visceral, real-life accounts of officers with whom he has personally worked, he identifies pitfalls, errors, and traps that are created when officers lose control over how their brains and bodies react to unexpected crises; explains why and how this lack of control occurs; and provides mental, emotional, and behavioral tools that have proven highly effective at enhancing performance. Above all, Blum says, officers must learn the important lessons that come from their experiences and commit themselves to the quest for mastery in law enforcement--in other words, to turn tragedy into victory. This book is an indispensable resource for law enforcement officers, those who work with them, and the people who wish to keep them safe among the increasing dangers and challenges of today's society.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. As the old saying goes, You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. Likewise, there is more to be gained through encouragement than most of us realize. So many people go through life -- work, school, and marriage -- full of discouragement, never really knowing the amount of personal potential that has been restricted by others and by themselves due to negative environments around them. Dr. Lewis Losoncy, known to his many followers as The Encouragement Doctor, directs readers to practical and easy-to-use suggestions for attacking the very heart of discouragement and reveals how to turn negative situations into positive ones. The book identifies the 10 symptoms or key patterns that typify discouraged people -- factors that most of us never recognize in others or ourselves. The author teaches readers how to overcome the deflating dynamics of discouragement and how to recognize the 4 basic techniques used by others on us: domination, insensitivity, silence, and the ever-popular intimidation. This book doesn't waste time with philosophical points and jargon; here is direct, to-the-point exercises that teach how to give non-evaluative responses when confronting discouraged individuals. Learn how to create ideal, encouraging relationships (at home, work, school, on teams); learn how to encourage others to take action; find out how to spot the signs of discouragement in others and how to overcome them. No more blaming; no more preoccupation with revenge; stop avoiding situations; take charge. This book can help you accomplish all of these and more.…
