Nobody Cares

Witty and painfully honest essays about perfection vs. reality: “Hilarious…[an] incredibly distinctive voice.” —Emma Gannon, bestselling author of Olive From the author of the popular newsletter That’s What She Said, Nobody Cares is a candid personal essay collection about work, failure, friendship, and the messy business of being alive in your twenties and thirties. As she shares her hard-won insights from screwing up, growing up, and trying to find her own path, Anne T. Donahue offers all the honesty, laughs, and reassurance of a late-night phone call with your best friend. Whether she’s giving a signature pep talk, railing against summer, or describing her own mental health struggles, Anne reminds us that failure is normal, saying no to things is liberating, and we’re all a bunch of beautiful disasters—and she wouldn’t have it any other way. “Her essays about the less photogenic moments of her life contain their own sort of beauty, the kind that comes from failing and persevering. From breaking down her anxiety disorder to getting in touch with helpful and well-deserved female rage, Donahue is as inspiring as she is droll.” ―Vulture “Frank, funny, observations.” —Cosmopolitan “I don’t know how anyone could read her and not immediately fall in love.” —Scaachi Koul, author of One Day We’ll All Be Dead and None of This Will Matter

The ultimate playbook for crushing it at work, from the first CEO of Barstool Sports. She worked hand-in-hand with a founder who was a lightning rod for controversy—OK, for stepping in it. She grew a chaotic company (Vanity Fair called it a “pirate ship”) housed over a dentist’s office outside of Boston that published giveaway papers into a juggernaut with more than 5 billion monthly video views and 225 million followers valued at 550 million dollars. Erika Ayers Badan calls herself a “token CEO”, the rare female employee in the highest rank of a bro-roar sports and new media culture. She’s also a massive student of work: how to do it, how to be effective at it, how to get noticed, how to crush it, how to figure out what you love and do it as a job. She’s figured it out, after big marketing jobs in large traditional corporations like Microsoft and AOL, for herself; she’s figured it out for friends; she figured it out for the thousands of people who listened to her Barstool podcast, “Token CEO” every week. And in this book, she’s figuring it out for everybody else. With the verve and motivation of books like YOU ARE A BADASS and the smart, specific ideas of titles like ATOMIC HABITS, NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOUR CAREER is a real playbook. It’s about how work really works and how you can get work to work for you. It’s about thank you notes and thankless tasks, the energy in meetings and energy vampires, how to pick a boss and how to get a boss to pick you. It’s about being all in (but not bringing your whole self to work—some of you is better left at home) and becoming valuable to your workplace. It’s about participating—with your brain, your skills, your experience, and your willingness to pitch in and offer yourself up for something you may not even know how to do yet. It’s about making your own luck at work. NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOUR CAREER is for first-time job seekers who think no company will ever want them, people stuck in second or third jobs who don’t know how to move on to the next thing, people who have the job they thought was their brass ring but who discovered it’s not all that. Her chapter titles include: - Do Whatever Makes You Happy and F*ck Anyone Who Says Otherwise - Know What Your Company is Paying You to Do - Don’t Be an Asshole at Work - The Messy Stuff: Being Human, Getting Drunk, Sex, and Other Disaster Scenarios at Work - Feedback is a Gift. Feedforward is for wimps

The stares, the mocking laughter, the hurt, and the pain; this is one woman's journey of learning that being fat really does matter to everyone. In "I'm Fat and Nobody Cares", Kathleen Frank tackles the many issues that face people who battle obesity and the reasons why they do. This is the author's personal testimony of how she overcame sexual and emotional abuse, her constant struggle with weight and how she was able to find the Lord amidst every temptation to turn against Him. Through her own battle and heartbreak, Kathleen attempts to uncover the roots of this rampant issue and bring to light the pain that she and many others have experienced through weight gain. She sheds light on the real reasons why many people have become obese and how there is hope for them. The author could have very easily used this book as an outlet for her emotions, anger especially, but instead this book is very tactfully written. A rough childhood, two bumpy marriages with one ending in an affair that changed her life forever, Kathleen details her own struggle of weighing over 330 pounds and how through the love of Christ and the practical implementation of His Word in her life she has been able to come to terms with her weight and believe God for a miracle. Kathleen Frank is a world-renowned speaker, author, and trainer in the area of communications. She is a wife, mother of three, and has four grandchildren. Kathleen carries a strong and real message of God's love, grace and acceptance. With over 35 years of experience in communications, she is able to effectively convey the message God has given her. In doing so, she has seen many who have, like Kathleen, lived with abuse and was set free by her remarkable story. Kathleen is currently focusing on establishing her ministry, Restoration Life Foundation where she desires to see women and young girls restored and healed from all of life's wounds.

“Nobody cares? Really?” For most colleges and universities in the U.S., the answer is a resounding, “Yep, nobody cares!” The demographic bubble of the millennials has burst and, all over the country, institutions are shutting down or merging with neighbors in a desperate attempt to survive. From higher-education alternatives that promise to prepare students for jobs to the big online for-profits that are grabbing an ever-increasing share of the rapidly shrinking pool of prospective students, there’s never been more competition, more pressure, and more noise in the marketplace. So yeah ... nobody cares. But that doesn’t mean it’s time to give up hope. Written by a team of higher-ed marketing veterans, this book offers a new way forward. Called the OpenEDU Model, the tactics laid out here ditch the hype and focus on practical ways you can combine your hard-won marketing experience with cutting-edge technology in order to raise your institution’s profile, attract the students you want, and build a brand that will survive—and thrive—in the toughest higher ed market there’s ever been. They might not care now, but once you put the OpenEDU Model into action, they will.
