|summary=When you start work, when you become a manager or move up the ladder it's assumed that you will need training in ''managing''. This is always assumed to be managing other people, but it's only very rarely that any consideration is given to managing yourself - and then probably only in specific areas. But - if you haven't sorted yourself out, thought through your own actions and motivations, how can you give leadership to others? ''Managing'' ''Yourself'' remedies this and covers the cradle to grave of working life. If you have ambitions to move up the career ladder - or even if you just want to have a more rewarding and stress-free working life - this book is essential reading.

|summary=Jessica Harlow let her London flat and undertook a three-month nursing contract at Upton Hall to fill in the time before she took up a permanent post in Sheffield. It didn't start well: she got soaked waiting to be picked up at the deserted railway station and then she discovered that she was to nurse Lady Grace Coleman who was recovering from a hip-replacement operation ''and'' look after her two grandchildren. Five-year-old Lily was a delight, but overweight and asthmatic. Eight-year-old Daniel was autistic and on top of this Lady Grace was, er, ''difficult''. What made her stay? Well, despite a humiliating romantic experience with a doctor in London she was rather taken by Lucas Coleman, a talented plastic surgeon - and she was obstinate enough to decide that she was going to make a go of it. Besides, where would she live if she left Upton Hall?
