As today's workers are all too painfully aware, downsizing, takeovers, and technological changes have made job security a thing of the past. But there is a bright side to this new reality. Released from the pressure to conform to keep our jobs, we are free to take on the roles that really suit us and seek out personal fulfillment rather than exhaust ourselves striving for the proverbial brass ring. In this book, career expert and best-selling author Barbara Moses decodes the rules of the new workplace-what she calls Temp World-and shows how we can use them to take charge of our own careers. Moses identifies six types of contemporary workers-including "careerists" who thrive on the pressure of the rat race and "personal developers" who cherish learning and professional growth. She helps individuals decide which type they are, what they want out of their careers, and how they're most likely to succeed. She gives managers a guide to the new employment contract and ten strategies for managing the new workers. She even gives parents tips for career-proofing their children. In Temp World, where employment is ultimately transitory, key to survival is developing a portable set of skills that can be used in a succession of different assignments. In her trademark tell-it-like-it-is fashion, Moses shows readers how to develop those skills, seek new challenges, identify new opportunities, and nurture the self-confidence necessary to maintain enthusiasm during times of transition. Peppered with anecdotes from years Moses spent consulting for companies including Levi Strauss, Lucent Technologies, and PricewaterhouseCoopers, The Good News About Careers is full of frank advice and practical strategies for finding liberation, satisfaction, and success in an uncertain world.

Conservatism has been the most important political doctrine in the United States for nearly four decades. It has dominated the intellectual debate and largely set the policy agenda, even during years of Democratic electoral control. But 21st century conservatism has moved far beyond even the Reagan Revolution of small government, lower taxes and a respect for tradition. The alliance of libertarians, neoconservatives, and the Christian right has launched anxious and angry attacks on the purported homosexual agenda, the hoax of climate change, the rule by experts and elites, and the banishment of religion from the public realm. In the foreign policy arena it has tried to remake the world through the cleansing fire of violence. Contemporary American conservatism practices a politics that is disciplined, uncompromising, utopian, and enraged, seeking to take back our country. This is anti-establishment conservatism, whose origin can be traced back to the right wing that battled both the reigning post-World War II liberal consensus and the moderate, establishment Republican Party. This book examines the nature of anti-establishment conservatism, traces its development from the 1950s to the Tea Party, and explains its political ascendance.
