Miss Manners is here to rescue us from ourselves. Always polite, generous with incisive
social commentary and a lady among ladies, Judith Martin is one of Dix's heroine's. |
Okay, so maybe Dix hasn't bought this one yet. But she'd like
to. Miss Manners is a communicator extraordinaire, so it's bound to be a keeper. (Take me to the top, Dix.) |
Deborah Tannen has some fascinating insights
into cross-gender communication. Although she does plod a bit at times, her talk books are
filled with interesting RL examples of misunderstandings, miscommunications, and missed
opportunities. You're sure to see yourself somewhere in there, and learn some stuff along
the way. (Take me to the top, Dix.) |
The Verbal Self-Defense books are classics
with good reason. They teach how to effectively deal with mean people without becoming
one. A must-read for anyone who sometimes has to deal with difficult and unpleasant
people. And if you don't, please tell Dix what your
secret is so she can sell it.You'll get a cut. (Take me to the top, Dix.) |
Dix's husband, Chip, says this book is
changing his life. While Dix may find that comment a bit overstated, Scott Adams once
again impales the workplace with his edgy, ever-so-slightly exaggerated (?) but keenly
accurate observations of the workplace. Dilbert is
one of us. Dix's favorite part is the RL emails from frustrated workers. (Take me to the top, Dix.) |
This is another one on Dix's "to buy" list. Dogbert is
such a cute little cynic, it's hard not to love him. And managers can be so annoying, it's
hard not to ridicule them. Sounds like a good bet. (Take me to the top, Dix.) |
Dix really loved this one, although we can't be sure
she wasn't unduly influenced by the thought of wearing her robe and slippers to work. LOL
funny, and that's saying a lot. (Take me to the top, Dix.) |
Look here in the future for more of Dix's favorites, or feel free to make some suggestions of your own. |
