A new collection of stories–dazzling, poignant, wickedly funny, and highly addictive—by the internationally acclaimed writer whose work The Times (London) calls “dangerously close to perfection.”
Whether her subject is single women or wives in stages of midlife-ery, marriage or motherhood, youth, young love, homework or history, Simpson writes near to the bone and close to the heart. These thirteen stories brilliantly focus on aspects of contemporary living and unerringly capture a generation, a type, a social class, a pattern of behavior. They give us the small detail that reveals large secrets and summons up the inner stresses of our lives (“It is a blissful relief to turn to the coolness and clarity of Helen Simpson…She is, to my mind, the best short story writer now working in English.” –Ed Crooks, Financial Times)

For individuals in every walk of life and in every stage of change, this compact, no-nonsense book captures both the heart–and the “how”–of successful change. Organizations are forced to change faster and more radically than ever. How are companies faring in meeting these challenges–and what can we learn from their experiences? In this powerful follow-up book–organized around Leading Change’s revolutionary eight-step change process–Kotter and co-author Dan Cohen reveal the results of their research in over 100 organizations in the midst of large-scale change. What they found may surprise you. Although most organizations believe change happens by making people think differently–Kotter and Cohen say the key lies more in making them feel differently. They introduce a new dynamic–”see-feel-change”–that sparks and fuels action by showing people potent reasons for change that charge their emotions. Through true stories from real people, the authors present a play-by-play of challenge
