Have you worked hard all your life and begun to wonder when they start giving out the prizes? Fed up with being at the far end of a cattle-car commute? Had enough of being pushed around by the Young--even your own Young? Would you like to stay medium-young practically forever? If so, you're not alone! But don't worry, because Shepherd Mead, author of the international bestseller How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, has all the off-beat advice you need in a book for anyone with a bit of gray in their hair that reveals the proven tactics to stay medium-young practically forever without really trying.
Shepherd Mead was one of those men dogged by success. After graduating from Washington University he went to New York to practice being an intellectual and ended up as a junior executive and then a vice-president of Benton & Bowles. His biting attacks against society only gained him greater fame and success, and he finally resigned and fled to Europe with his wife and three children in 1957. He spent a year in Geneva and then went to England in 1958.
As an author, Mead published over fifteen books, including: How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, The Big Ball of Wax, The Admen, The Four Window Girl, How to Succeed at Business Spying By Trying and How to Succeed in Tennis Without Really Trying.
