Great Gift Under $10!
This is what you want to get as an office party gift when you need to find something for under $10. The office Oracle: Wisdom at Work by Patricia Monaghan, is a timeless and affordable gift. It truly is timeless, because unlike other calendar-type books of wisdom, this one has no year or specific day information attached to it. You can thumb through it anytime at random and choose your "thought for the day." It's not just a fluff book of optimism, but a guide with 200 short pieces of office wisdom. Patricia Monaghan takes a "survival of the fittest" approach to keeping peace and happiness every day at our jobs. We often get attacked, ridiculed, and under-appreciated. One page of wisdom states "No One Knows What You Really Do." Then it goes on to explain how it is no good to be angry when you realize this, reminds you to hide your deficiencies and illuminate your success, and the bottom line is that it's up to you to decide what others should know of you. Each statement in The Office Oracle is a thought worth reflecting on, and they are great ideas to keep us balanced in the workplace.

This is the only book you need....
I've gone through all the office organizing, management, and esteem-building books; but this small book takes the truth of people's behavior and puts it in tasty, insightful morsels. Everyday I randomly pick a page and observe the book's wisdom explainig the actions of co-workers, bosses, and clients.

Great office book
This is a great little book. Patricia Monaghan, author of several books on the Goddess, has written a great affirmation book. She suggests you throw some coins, but you don't have to. Just pick up the book every morning and wherever it opens is your lesson for the day. It's small enough to fit in your desk drawer easily, and even in your purse. Great gift for your officemates, or stocking stuffers for those people on your list that need a little daily pick-me-up!
