Drawing on research, stories from her own career, and the women she has coached, Prof. Ellen Taaffe explains why the five perils of success — being prepared to perfection, eager to please, trying to fit the mold, pushing too hard, and patiently performing and expecting rewards to follow —get us to a certain level, and then may prevent our taking the next step in our careers as expectations rise.
She offers a new framework for navigating the challenges of the workplace with more awareness, says a review published on goodreads.com.

What We Are Reading Today: ‘Grasshoppers, Locusts, and Crickets of the World’
Authors: Martin Husemann and Oliver Hawlitchek
Grasshoppers, locusts, crickets, bush crickets, and katydids make up the order of insects known as Orthoptera. Although there are about 30,000 species of Orthoptera around the world, many people pay little attention to them and even scientists know relatively little about them.
Yet the world of grasshoppers is a fascinating and diverse one. In this richly illustrated book, leading researchers from around the world detail the many facets of these insects, including their evolution, life cycles, and mating behavior.
