Fish don’t know they’re in water. We've been like that, too. Tried-and-trusted methods of communication no longer ring true in today’s marketplace. What’s more (or less, as the case may be), the systems you relied upon are failing … maybe. If you want to not only survive but thrive in this century, you’re going to need to reorient yourself to a new way of thinking. Inside this book, you'll find three sections devoted to case studies, lessons learned, and stories of business growth, customer delight, and personal development. In Part I - "Making Good Company" - you'll learn about strategy and about what matters and what doesn't to consumers today. You'll learn to critically and objectively analyze what you’re trying to make happen, and what’s in your way. In Part II - "Keeping Good Company" - you'll learn some of the secrets that have helped my words win customers in seven countries. You'll see and - through a complementary private website - hear actual examples of copywriting and customer service success stories to help you win new customers and delight the ones you already have. In Part III - "Being Good Company" - you'll learn some techniques for separating the truly important from the merely urgent. You'll take a look inside the Miles family - where Dee and I have learned to look at the world a little differently since our son was diagnosed with autism. A book filled with heart, humor and historical success, Good Company will help you live, work and play a little better, a little truer, and a little stronger. If you’re looking for a quick fix, you’re going to come away disappointed. This book is the diet and exercise of marketing and communication and persuasion. If you’re looking for a bag of magic beans, I wish you the best of luck. But don’t worry – I’m sure some social media expert will be by in a few minutes.

Stand-Up Comedy

This book sets out a fresh approach to stand-up comedy. By constructing a theoretical framework using laughter theory, phenomenology and contemporary performance theory, it provides not only a new analytical tool for this genre of performance, but also a means by which it can be understood, discussed and taught. Tim Miles combines empirical research into the 'lived experience' of live stand-up with a strong theoretical model to explore the importance of performance expectations; perceptions of space; sensory perceptions; liveness; the lived experience; inter-subjectivity; memory; interactions; collectively; and perceptions of truth and trust.

Torn Apart takes an in-depth look at 14 gruesome murder cases and examines how "victim impact statements" used in court finally give a voice to the suffering of those dealing with the death of a partner, child, or loved one. The cases discussed include lawyer Tom ap Rhys Pryce, who was murdered for £20, a cell phone, and his oyster card; Caroline Dickenson, who was assaulted and murdered in a French youth hostel; and Peter Falconio, a British tourist murdered while backpacking around the Australian outback.

It is now recognised that dyslexia affects people’s lives in all sorts of different ways. This book shows how some dyslexics can be highly gifted musicians. It is important, however, that they should not be put off from studying music just because - at least in the early stages - many of them find it difficult to read and remember the symbols of musical notation. 
The foreword is by Baroness Mary Warnock. 10 of the 21 contributors to the book are themselves dyslexic. Each relates their personal experiences (whether as amateurs or professionals) and in most cases their eventual success. The other contributors are teachers or researchers who have wide experiences of dyslexic musicians of all ages. The book’s message is one of optimism. Dyslexic musicians can succeed provided only that they are given sufficient encouragement and understanding.
