Anyone who has to work should read How to Work for an
Idiot.
--USA Today
There is no question that How to Work for an Idiot is a
subversive book. People will pick it up expecting a tasty blend of
commiseration and advice. They will put it down thinking, to
paraphrase the famous line from the cartoon character Pogo, 'We
have met the idiot, and he is us.' --The New York Times Dr.
Hoover recommends admitting that you are 'powerless' over the jerks
in your life. Otherwise, 'harboring all that resentment is like
drinking a cup of poison and waiting for the jerk to die.'
--The Wall Street Journal How to Work for an Idiot contains
a lot of humor, with plenty of good information as well.
--Campbell Brown, Weekend Today Dr. John's How to Work for an
Idiot is very funny stuff, with some stinging jabs in
there.
--Neil Cavuto, Fox News ...an irreverent and realistic look at what
people must deal with every day at work.
--CNNfn As amusing as his vignettes may be, the proffered advice is
pretty sound and includes solid steps for coping and surviving a
daily dose of determined and authoritative stupidity without
committing any capital crimes.
--The Miami Herald -- "Reviews"
