Sie gehören zu den Leuten, die jedesmal die Augen verdrehen, wenn ein neues Buch erscheint, das DAS Allheilmittel für alle Belange des Business zu sein verspricht? Dann erholen Sie sich mit dieser Satire! Der selbsternannte, allwissende, unerhört wichtige Consultant S. M. P. Thomas verbreitet universelle Halbwahrheiten ironisch und unglaublich witzig.
In America we are in an era when we willingly hand over our wills, intelligence and spirit to the guru du jour. Self-inflated pompous snake oil salesmen who proclaim they have all the answers to the problems that confound us all. They are usually odd numbered (the 7 habits, the 5 learnings, the only one that was even numbered was the ten commmandments) repackaging of recycled obvious knowledge. Stephen Michael Peter Thomas (cleverly borrowing the first names of all the leading gurus) mimics their posturings in this enormously witty satire. The best send up of business I've ever read. You'll never be able to sit through a motivational conference with a straight face again.
I laughed! I cried! I was reorganized!

If you are a CEO or a business consultant or just an ordinary working schlumpf, you can read this book and find something USEFUL in it. Particularly if someone accidently leaves a winning lottery ticket in it as a bookmark. For instance, you could apply any of Stephen Michael Peter Thomas's Learnings or Teachings to your business situation and before you know it, you will be named in a major class action litigation or you will drive your business directly into bankruptcy. What this business genius has to say is that EFFECTIVE! I can honestly say that, by applying what I learned from this book, I have accumulated enough good time points that my sentence for malfeasance, fraud and impersonating a business person has been reduced by almost THREE WEEKS! Thank you, thank you, thank you Stephen Michael Peter Thomas
