I've tried being nice : essays / by Leary, Ann,author.;
New York Times bestselling author Ann Leary offers a literary feast of humor and wisdom told from the perspective of a recovering people pleaser. Having arrived at a certain age (her prime), Ann Leary casts a wry backward glance at a life spent trying -- and often failing -- to be nice. With wit and surprising candor, Leary recounts the bedlam of home bat invasions, an obsession with online personality tests, and the mortification of taking ballroom dance lessons with her actor husband. She describes hilarious red-carpet fiascos and other observations from the sidelines of fame, while also touching upon her more poignant struggles with alcoholism, her love for her family, her dogs, and so much more. Prepare to laugh, cry, cringe and revel in the comically relatable chaos of Ann Leary's life as revealed in this delightful collection of essays.

Hello, friends! : stories from my life and Blue Jays baseball / by Howarth, Jerry,author.;
"An honest memoir about life, family, and baseball from the longtime, legendary Toronto Blue Jays radio broadcaster For 36 years, Jerry Howarth ushered in eternal hope each spring and thrived in the drive of each fall as the voice of the Toronto Blue Jays. In 1982, the lifelong avid sports fan joined Tom Cheek as full-time play-by-play radio announcer for the Blue Jays, and for the next 23 years, "Tom and Jerry" were the voices of the franchise. Jerry became part of the fabric of a nation and a team, covering historic moments like the rise of the Blue Jays through the 1980s that culminated in back-to-back World Series Championships in 1992 and 1993. His Hall of Fame-worthy broadcasting career has been nothing short of legendary. When Jerry retired in February 2018, the tributes poured in and made one thing perfectly clear: Toronto baseball would never be the same. Howarth brings together thoughts on life, family, work, and baseball. Featuring stories about everyone from Dave Stieb, Jack Morris, Duane Ward, Roberto Alomar, and Joe Carter to John Gibbons, Edwin Encarnacion, Josh Donaldson, and the late Roy Halladay, Hello, Friends! is a must-read for sports fans everywhere."--

Gimme a crisis : in the room with global banker Rick Waugh / by Green, Howard,1959-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."In Gimme a Crisis, three-time bestselling author Howard Green profiles former Scotiabank CEO Rick Waugh and sketches an unprecedented and up-close picture of what it is like to run a global bank, often during financial chaos, while leading more than 80,000 employees in more than fifty countries. From navigating a violent economic default and loss in Argentina and a bail-out of the Dominican Republic to surviving the Great Financial Crisis, actively promoting women in banking, and securing the NBA's Raptors for Toronto, Rick Waugh was there. Green captures the riveting stories, intense conflicts, and pivotal moments that occurred at one of Canada's biggest banks, a significant player in international finance. Waugh's unorthodox approach to managing risk offers lessons for steering through economic uncertainty, lessons that will be increasingly relevant as Donald Trump assumes the U.S. presidency for a second time and we enter a new era of global insecurity. His secret formula: when assessing deals, investments, or major decisions, know your downside, never calculate the upside. Let risk guide decision-making, and the upside will take care of itself. Interweaving extensive interviews with Waugh over the course of a twenty-year relationship with the author and access to his personal files with scores of interviews with others who worked closely with Waugh or intersected with him, Gimme a Crisis take readers into the executive suite, revealing the rapid-fire, pressurized decision-making that took place during the most volatile -- and harrowing -- period in Canada's financial system since the Great Depression"--
