This Series Will Make You Want to Move to Tokyo

Is Kichijoji the Only Place to Live? (Vols 1-5) by Maki Hirochi

August 1, 2022 by GentleRain Leave a Comment

CBR14Bingo: New (the manga is about real estate agents helping people find new apartments) This was my second read of this series and it lived up to my happy memories as a piece of escapism. Is Kichijoji the Only Place to Live? is about two sisters who run a small real estate agency in Tokyo’s popular Kichijoji neighborhood. Whenever someone comes in and says that they want to find a new place in Kichijoji, the sisters end up dragging them to a different neighborhood that […]

Up in the Air

Fly Girl by Ann Hood

The Great Stewardess Rebellion: How Women Launched a Workplace Revolution at 30,000 Feet by Nell McShane Wulfhart

February 5, 2022 by Pooja Leave a Comment

I got approved for two books about flight attendants one right after another on NetGalley – so all of you must cope with a themed double post from me. Fly Girl – 3.5 stars Ann Hood became a flight attendant at TWA in 1978 and worked there for many years. In this book, she recounts the places she saw and the people she met, and how the shifting culture of air travel at the time affected her and her job. I do like to travel, […]

“I do not like that man. I must get to know him better.” – Abraham Lincoln

How to Win Friends and Influence People in the Digital Age by Dale Carnegie & Associates

April 18, 2020 by randirock Leave a Comment

“Every man is entitled to be valued for his best moments.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson Emerson’s quote above sums up this book quite nicely. How to Win Friends and Influence People in the Digital Age is a lesson on effective relationship building, which can be applied to anyone in your life – personally or professionally. The authors write, “Which relationship is most strained in your life right now? What would it look like if you began focusing on that person’s best moments and sought to affirm […]

August 8, 2019 by ASKReviews Leave a Comment

BINGO: Award Winner: 2016 Labor History Best Book Best for: Those who enjoy a good case study / ethnography and are interested in the state of organizing today. In a nutshell: Academic Jamie Woodcock is interested in labour organizing and, as his PhD dissertation spent time in a call center to learn more about the work — and the resistance — taking place there.

Get the Most Out of Working Remote

Remote: Office Not Required by Jason Fried, David Heinemeier Hansson

May 30, 2019 by Halbs Leave a Comment

Exactly a year ago I changed jobs. I went from a conservative 9-5 workplace where business casual or suits were required to complete freedom. Anywhere with an internet connection was potentially my office. At first, this was overwhelming. I was talking to an office-less friend about it and how he dealt with always being available. He told me a story about one time having to talk with a client while on a cruise. “Instead of looking at it like I’m always on call, I look […]

Worth A Try

Make Time: How to Focus on What Matters Every Day by Jake Knapp and John Zeratsky

November 19, 2018 by ASKReviews Leave a Comment

Best for: Those looking for some tips to help them focus their time. In a nutshell: Two former Google folks offer their tips for making time for what matters (I mean, it’s right there in the title, and I couldn’t figure out a better way to say it). Worth quoting: “Trying to cram in just one more thing is like driving a car that is running out of gas: No matter how long you keep your foot on the accelerator, if the tank is empty, […]
