April, 2016 l Working World l WorkingWorld.com 5 logical." Lancaster outlines the rhetorical tactics that leaders from Aristotle to Steve Jobs used to stir their listeners' instincts, fire up their emotions and impress their intellect. Simon Lancaster, who worked for CEOs and members of UK prime minister Tony Blair's cabinet, backs up his advice with real-world examples. His emphasis on brain chemicals seems a little pat – but functions as a useful metaphor. getAbstract recommends his amusing manual to teachers, salespeople, speechwriters, business communicators and public relations professionals. Simon Lancaster | Palgrave Macmillan 2015 | 236 pg. | ISBN: 9781137465924 4. NOT KNOWING Open yourself to the unknown, and embrace it. Many people will find this book a bit odd, due to its style and content. The authors hope so. Throughout the book, different fonts, different-colored pages and startling design choices force readers to change perspectives. These graphic disunities metaphorically underscore the need for new viewpoints and curiosity. Consultants Steven D'Souza and Diana Renner want to inspire. They draw on myriad disciplines to illustrate the necessity and value of not knowing. getAbstract recommends their entertaining treatise to anyone seeking new routes to knowledge, creativity, spirituality and greater productivity. Steven D'Souza and Diana Renner | LID Publishing 2014 | 224 pg. | ISBN: 9781907794483 5. YOU RAISED US – NOW WORK WITH US Are the millennials a generation of hope or a hopeless generation? Lauren Stiller Rikleen interviews millennials to provide an accurate portrait. Are millennials a generation of hope or a hopeless generation? Are they lazy slackers, selfless idealists, entitled jerks, entrepreneurial geniuses, clueless workers, energetic employees or some amalgam of all these archetypes? Millennials constitute the largest population of any generation in the US workforce and they provoke a churn of opinions and stereotypes. To create an accurate profile and offer employers valuable insights into millennials, intergenerational expert Lauren Stiller Rikleen conducted an elaborate, extensive, revealing survey of more than 1,000 millennials. She discovered their heartfelt views on a diverse range of topics, including ambition, work and identity. For insights into who the millennials really are, heed their own words as they discuss work, vocation, priorities, morals, dealing with their elders, confronting stereotypes, and more. Rikleen's research will help every generation in the workplace – baby boomers, gen Xers and millennials themselves – collaborate and understand each other better. getAbstract recommends Rikleen's thorough investigation of this influential generation to parents, professors, HR managers, entrepreneurs, and managers of businesses large and small.
