Thank you to everyone for all the help of spreading the word about Thank God It’s Monday. It hit number 1 overall as of all books sold! It is experiencing the second week as the number one business book and it’s also sold out in the U.K. and made the best seller list in Canada as well.
Pinch me!!!
Again, thank you to everyone who have sent the massive amount of emails saying you’ve bought 10 plus copies for all your friends. Now THAT is a commitment to a healthy workplace.
Thank you for being a part of this movement.
Only a few days left until Monday!!!
Cheers,
Roxanne
This is SUCH great news. My new book, Thank God It’s Monday, just hit #2 overall of all books on Amazon a few minutes ago and has been the #1 selling business book for two weeks in a row!
It also hit The Wall Street Journal list last week.
Why?
I think it’s because people are tired of not loving their work. With all the layoffs, those who are “left behind” with twice the work and half the friends are so disheartened and don’t know how to get their rhythm back.
Here’s a few tips on getting that “new job” feeling back… (more…)

Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night stays these courageous couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.
Most people think that’s the motto of the U.S. Postal Service. I always thought so myself, but it’s not. The Greek historian Herodotus said it 2500 years ago, when Greece was at war with Persia. He said it in admiration of the enemy’s mounted messengers, who wouldn’t let nothin’ or nobody keep them from getting the job done.
Anybody can get strokes from their own team. But you KNOW you’ve got it going on when even the competition is drooling over your results.
It’s all about being unstoppable—about insisting on success, no matter how deep the snow or how hard the rain. Laugh at obstacles, refuse to compromise your goals, and you can watch the world land gently in the palm of your hand. (more…)

The good life, as I conceive it, is a happy life. I do not mean that if you are good you will be happy; I mean that if you are happy you will be good. —Bertrand Russell
If it seems weird for a column about making work more fun and engaging to open with a quote from the philosopher Bertrand Russell—then honey, you don’t know Bert.
Some philosophers spend their time working out obscure problems that don’t seem to have much to do with you and me. But Bertrand Russell spent a lot of his time thinking about everyday things—like happiness, and what it means to be good. (more…)

A friend of mine once told me about a coworker of his from years back. His name was Harry.
Harry was an optimist. My friend passed his office one day and said, “Another rainy day, eh Harry?”—and Harry replied, “Yeah, I just love that sound on the window, don’t you?”
“You know what?” my friend said, laughing. “I did love that sound. Always have. But it took Harry to point it out to me. That was twenty years ago, but ever since that day, I’ve thought of Harry on rainy days and enjoyed the sound on the window.”Harry had given a gift that keeps on giving—the power of positive presence. He simply saw the good and (here’s the key) shared it with others. He didn’t have to do any heavy lifting. He didn’t even create the good thing. He simply revealed the hidden positive that was already in my friend’s heart. (more…)

Remember détente?
Anybody who lived through the Nixon years will remember the word. But if you’re like me, you didn’t quite know what it meant. As a kid, when I heard Henry Kissinger talk about “détente with the Soviets,” I always figured he meant, “We agree not to bomb each other for now.”
As it turns out, détente is a much more interesting idea. Détente is the process of relaxing tension and building mutual confidence. In the 70s, we didn’t just stop bombing each other—we also sent ballet companies and art exhibits back and forth. Our leaders got together at Camp David and toasted marshmallows or whatever they do. The bottom line: We got to see each other as people.
So what does this have to do with the workplace? (more…)
