Every journey starts with the realization that we don't have to take any more of this crap. The world of work ? and all that's wrong with it ? is dominated by 12 statements. We hear them every day. We utter them at will. But they're all garbage. What if we said ? no more? This is the business book for everyone who can't bear to read business books. Which is most of us. It considers that in being part of the problem ? an uncomfortable admission ? we may also be the creators of the solution. In uncompromising, engaging and humorous fashion, it dismantles each statement and sets us on the path to a better world of work. You can read each essay between meetings you'd rather not be at, after which, your working life will never be the same again.
