Bad Luck and Trouble

THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING JACK REACHER SERIES • The inspiration for season two of the hit streaming series Reacher!

“Electrifying . . . this series [is] utterly addictive.”—Janet Maslin, The New York Times

From a helicopter high above the California desert, a man is sent free-falling into the night. On the streets of Portland, Jack Reacher is pulled out of his wandering life and plunged into the heart of a conspiracy that is killing old friends . . . and the people he once trusted with his life.

Reacher is the ultimate loner—no phone, no ties, no address. But a woman from his old military unit has found him using a signal only the eight members of their elite team would know. Then she tells him a terrifying story about the brutal death of a man they both served with. Soon Reacher is reuniting with the survivors of his team, scrambling to unravel the sudden disappearance of two other comrades. But Reacher won’t give up—because in a world of bad luck and trouble, when someone targets Jack Reacher and his team, they’d better be ready for what comes right back at them.

“"Highly recommended ... One of the best books in the series."- Library Journal , starred review "It's easy to mock the testosterone of Reacher novels-until you read one. They're everything authors like WEB Griffin wish they had the talent to write."- Rocky Mountain News "Reacher thinks and acts in nouns and verbs-no adjective need apply. He's a human missi≤ all you have to do is aim him."- Palm Beach Pos t, Florida "A breathless, ultra-cool novel with relentless pacing."- Cleveland Plain Dealer "A slam-bang yarn filled with Child's usual terse life-and-death lessons."- Entertainment Weekly "[An] action-packed thrill ride."- Chicago Sun-Times From the Paperback edition.”

Today's world is one of too much: too much work to do, too much communication, too much competition, too much uncertainty and too much information. We are striving to keep up, but inevitably we're falling behind, leaving us with a nagging sense of failure that is hard to shake off. It's unsustainable commercially, draining professionally, depressing personally. It's not much fun. The good news is, it doesn't have to be that way. In Busy , Tony Crabbe draws on his background in psychology and work with companies including Disney, Microsoft and News International to debunk the myth that satisfaction in the workplace comes from getting everything done. Instead, he demonstrates that it is a focus on creativity and attention to detail that will lead to happiness, increased motivation and success. Crabbe identifies the five major psychological drivers of busyness - helplessness, playing the wrong game, disengagement, fear and aspiration - and provides practical solutions for turning each driver on its head in order to become less busy, more engaged and ultimately happier at work and in your personal life. So if you want to take control of your career - and your life - make sure you're not too busy to read this book.
