Page-turning practical and essential tips for success in the Japanese market—from communicating to negotiating, product selection to distribution, management to sales 
Navigating Japan’s Business Culture: A Practical Guide to Succeeding in the Japanese Market delivers clear, specific information to help executives understand and successfully navigate the numerous obstacles that confronted when foreign companies do business in Japan. Unlike “cultural intelligence” books that describe Japanese social etiquette, this book goes straight to the cultural values and social customs entwined in Japanese capitalism that make their capitalism so different from Western capitalism—and therefore can become stumbling blocks for gaining success in the Japanese market. Readers will come away with specific guidance on how to 
<ul>
<li>negotiate successfully with your Japanese partner. 
</li>
<li>ensure your business will endure for the long term in that market. 
</li>
<li>know your Japanese counterpart is telling you “no” when it sounds very much like “yes.”</li>
<li>capitalize on deeply held Japanese cultural traits in a way to benefit both your company and your partner’s company.</li>
<li>create good business practices that will strengthen your business by drawing on the strong values of Japanese management styles and employee work ethic. 
</li>
<li>and much more... 
</li>
</ul>
This book is filled with page-turning practical wisdom and case studies covering communication goals to negotiating, product selection for the Japanese market to distribution services, management to sales. Azar provides valuable direction by
<ul>
<li>identifying Japan’s culture-based differences in management and business practices to alert Western businesses of these differences.</li>
<li>explaining and linking these practices to their cultural roots so that they may be understood in their correct cultural context.</li>
<li>delivering guidance for dealing with these differences to create strong, successful, long-term partnerships with their Japanese counterparts.</li>
</ul>
Ignore the important cultural differences highlighted in this book at your own business risk if you are working in or plan to enter the Japanese market. The case studies the author includes underscores the wisdom shared throughout the book. This book will be of interest to and benefit three groups of readers: 
<ul>
<li>Individuals with professional interests in Japan, such as those in business and government</li>
<li>Those with an academic interest in Japan, such as teachers and students of both Japanese business and culture</li>

Science, Nature & How It Works

This is a book about personal change related to "spendaholic" behaviors. It is the recorded journey of the author's commitment to not purchase anything non-disposable for herself or her home for an entire year. The stimulus for this book was a trip to New Orleans soon after Hurricane Katrina. On that trip the author connected to her spendaholic behavior, and vowed to change it. Believing that personal change takes more time than thirty days or ninety days, the author made a commitment that lasted one full year to reinforce that change. The lessons in this short book include journal entries for my year of no personal spending and lessons I gained along the way. I hope you will smile some, shake your head some, and worry some if it strikes a little close to home, but most of all, I hope you will see that small attitude shifts and thoughtful intentionality can truly change behavior and even improve your life. There are many books on budgeting. This book is not about budgeting. There are many books on saving money. This book may help you save money, but saving money isn't the goal of this book. There are no coupon lessons in this book. You can find other books with tips on using coupons as a strategy to saving money. In this year's journey, I discovered my "whys" of spendaholism, which helped me make a lasting change to my behavior. It is my hope that by reading about my journey and insights, readers will be encouraged to discover their own "whys" for their own "isms" and begin their own journey to change. - Patti Fralix, author

Happiness

“Say Yes 2 Your Life” is a powerful call to celebrate your essential nature or “is-ness.” From an identification of your core values to a recognition of your personal superpower, this book seeks to opens your eyes to the wonder that lies within you. You have unique gifts that are yours to share. This book is for people at all stages of their journey to accepting, acknowledging, and loving themselves. It is a road map for those just considering or beginning the journey; it provides reinforcement for longtime journeyers; and it is a tool for people already far along on their journeys who are looking for ways to share and pass on what they have learned. 
 Growing in authenticity is not another self-improvement project. It’s about finding your “is-ness” and creating a life that honors who you are at the very depths of your being. The person you were before you were a friend, a spouse, a parent. The person you were before you held this position or volunteered for that organization. Who you are is who you are. And understanding who you are is at the heart of loving and accepting yourself. It is also at the heart of understanding your “why” and what you are being called to do in this moment. Because wherever you are in this moment of your life, you are being called to share the gifts that are uniquely you. 
 When you honor your “is-ness,” you own your strengths and your weaknesses. You recognize you can achieve anything you want in life. Honoring your “is-ness” acknowledges that you will benefit from receiving the gift of another’s “is-ness” along the way. The journey is about guiding you on a path to silence the voice in your head that says, “Play it safe. Don’t risk making a mistake. Someone else can do it better than you.” As you travel this road, you will realize that saying yes to living authentically means saying no to making comparisons. You will begin to integrate your whole self and love who you are, just as you are. You will claim the truth that you have everything you need within you to have the life you desire. This book will be your companion as you discover or rediscover your core self and begin exploring new ways to share all you have to offer. 
 We all touch the lives of everyone we meet. As Fred Rogers (Mr. Rogers Neighborhood) says, “If only you could sense how important you are to the lives of those you meet; how important you can be to people you may never even dream of. There is something of yourself that you leave at every meeting with another person.” That is the power of saying yes to your authentic life. You share your very “is-ness” with the people you meet and you give them the gift of sharing theirs with you.
