1998
Pollan, S. M., & Levine M. (1998).  Die Broke.
And if you want self-actualization, look for it in all that you do outside of your work. Be the best spouse, parent, child, neighbor, friend and citizen you can be, and you'll be far closer to reaching your true human potential than if you concentrated on being the best accountant you can be." (p. 29)
Lundin, W., & Lundin K. (1998).  When Smart People Work for Dumb Bosses: How to Survive in a Crazy and Dysfunctional Workplace.
"This is not the first time you've heard how an evaluation report mashed the brains of an employee. Why so powerful? It's this. The assessment of performance comes from the one person above all others who can most affect the emotions of an employee, one's supervisor. That changes the meaning of everything. That document can alter reality: Good can become bad, up can become down, and smart become dumb." (p. 135)

1996
Lynch, P., & Rothchild J. (1996).  Learn to Earn: A Beginner's Guide to the Basics of Investing and Business.
"Chewing gum and candy companies, such as Wrigley's, can thrive on recessions, because as Mr. Wrigley himself once said: 'The sadder they are, the more the people chew.'" (p. 84)
Levy, R. M., Dorsen N., & Rubenstein L. S. (1996).  The Rights of People with Mental Disabilities: The authoritative ACLU guide to the rights of people with mental illness and mental retardation.
"A reasonable accommodation is an alteration in the work environment that will enable the employee to perform the essential functions of the job. The accommodation must be practicable and reasonable in terms of cost to the employer and ease of accomplishment; in the words of the ADA, it cannot be an 'undue hardship' to the employer. The accommodation can be physical, such as a ramp up a few steps or and amplification device on the telephone. For people with mental disabilities, the core of reasonable accommodation is an adjustment to the work environment that will enable the person to perform at a productive level. These can include such changes as:
  • Flexible scheduling
  • Reassignment to a different job
  • Changes in the physical location of work
  • Alterations in supervision
  • Unpaid leave for therapy
  • Sensitizing coworkers
There are many other kinds of accommodations that can be developed jointly by the employer and the employee and tailored to fit individual circumstances. Indeed, the ADA requires that reasonable accommodation be developed together in an 'informal, interactive process.' The employer can neither impose an accommodation ('Go to therapy or be fired') or demand that the employee devise one." (p. 159)
1995
1994
Ellis, A., & Lange A. (1994).  How to Keep People From Pushing Your Buttons.
"Sometimes we get terribly bent out of shape when someone treats us insensitively, manipulates us, takes advantage, or is downright unfair. Therefore, we are not suggesting that if you are treated unfairly, you roll over and say 'Hit me again, baby. Beat me to a pulp' or 'Well—ha, ha—nobody's perfect. Maybe they didn't mean it.' You can still decide to do everything possible to redress injustices and unfairness, whether they be personal or social, without overrreacting and becoming part of the problem." (p. 72)
