I find it amazing that many reviewers cannot see good sarcasm when it hits them in their head. I have read many reviews of this book that mistake it for being actual advice on how to run your business. Some skeptics even suggest that Mr.
Bing ought to have put out a disclaimer stating 'this is a work of sarcasm'. This book is very funny and I found myself laughing out loud on several occasions.

This book is very funny and I found myself laughing out loud on several occasions. The book is basically a recipe of what to do if you plan on being a totally self-centered asshole with total disregard of other people.
The scary things are the many examples from real corporate life that Bing brings up. CEOs and and prominent leaders are actually doing many of the things described in this book. That's scary stuff. The basic joke is good for a little while, but not enough to sustain a whole book, and it's been rendered less humorous by the events of the Bush years. The basic theme is that the author is, tongue in cheek, advocating the adoption of total ruthlessness, abusiveness, and amorality as an interpersonal style.

The basic theme is that the author is, tongue in cheek, advocating the adoption of total ruthlessness, abusiveness, and amorality as an interpersonal style. The problem for me is that after all the corporate and political scandals of the last eight years, after the Iraq war, it's not very funny anymore, and I can't read this without seeing the faces of Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Gonzales, Delay, and a lot of the business people with whom they were in bed, and those people aren't funny at all. This book is about business practices in the way Machiavelli might do them. From how to handle your employees to handling your superiors, it teaches unconventional business practices that the author claims works. The book itself uses strong language in a lot of areas. It teaches about grudges, paranoia, and even poor response to criticism as a way of management. 'If they feel like there's something you need to know about your behavior or performance, so be it.

'If they feel like there's something you need to know about your behavior or performance, so be it. Let them talk. But make them pay.'
'There are as many ways to get rid of problems as there are people to exploit.' These quotes show the kind of person the author has become due to following these practices. Some people might want to be like the author, but many will be turned off. As a tongue-in-cheek tour of bad behavior and its obvious disbenefits, the book is fun. The good writing and humor rescue it from uselessness.
Only piece of advice I found worth remembering: in the text of the need to be ultra-paranoid: 'And for goodness sake, don't forget to leave at least 90 percent of your paranoia at the office! It's a great way to manage your professional life, but as a personal strategy, it stinks!' OK, so it's not really so great professionally, either, but it's a remin As a tongue-in-cheek tour of bad behavior and its obvious disbenefits, the book is fun.

Reminded me that there are way too many exclamation points in this book. Pcut plotter. And Machiavelli definitely would not have said, 'for goodness sake.'
This was a really interesting book and very helpful in understanding business 'princes', a.k.a. I can just hear some business guru spewing the contents of this book during some work seminar/workshop, teaching the attendees about Michiavellian mentality.
I appreciate the ideas behind this book and a lot of it makes sense. Some of it actually already applies to me (scary enough) but it will take a little more time for me to be as mean as this book requires.sigh. sadly, my loser instin This was a really interesting book and very helpful in understanding business 'princes', a.k.a.

Some of it actually already applies to me (scary enough) but it will take a little more time for me to be as mean as this book requires.sigh. sadly, my loser instinct still pulls strong. Besides, I also witnessed a documentary about a very successful man who chose not undermine the people around him: Mr. Jiro Ono, owner and head sushi chef of Sukiyabashi Jiro; he may be strict but fair. He credits everyone he deals with for his succcess and I think that's admirable. I would like to think that if there would be anyone I'd like to pattern my business sense, it would be him and maybe just a bit little from Machiavelli.but who knows, given the right set of circumstances and opportunities, I may have to change my tune in the future.
I liked this book, but didn't love it. It is a very tongue and cheek way to look at the world of business. While I do agree with some of the points Bing makes about being a busines man/woman, some are just very far-fetched and would only really work for high-powered CEO's.
Could you imagine going to work and yelling as often and as loudly as you wanted at everyone? Or knowing that your long-time secretary has the trip of a lifetime planned but you coax her into coming into work and canceling her I liked this book, but didn't love it.

Or knowing that your long-time secretary has the trip of a lifetime planned but you coax her into coming into work and canceling her vacation? As real people we have feelings and emotions.
It would be great to turn them off from time to time and act like a robot, but in reality, it's a really hard thing to do. So while this book is quite funny and did make me laugh, it isn't realistic in the slightest. When you read it, take that into consideration and have a good laugh with it. I picked up this book for the first time when it was initially released many years ago. I've always enjoyed Machiavelli- Florentine Renaissance internecine politics is a good subject to study early in one's career, but I've learned, being MEAN just get's people mad.

Fun little book that is disturbingly close to real life self-help books. This is a satirical how-to succeed at life book, purporting to teach the reader how to think and act as a completely A-moral prick. It is full of examples of business types who have made it through the top through sociopathics and prefect selfishness. And bullshit, so much bullshit.

And bullshit, so much bullshit. Being 14 years old at this point I think things have moved forward so that much of the humour in the sheer excess of certain actions have become commonplace and terribly quaint. When I think of self-centered, egotistical, un-caring, mean persons, I cannot believe they know or have experienced much love, happiness, or peace.
Stanley Bing, in his little book, promotes being self-centered, egotistical, uncaring, meanness as a way of life that is supposed to bring with it success and power. His philosophy may serve as a crutch to success or compensate little people for their littleness but it is not a recipe for love, happiness, or peace.
