Enjoyable reading, as an IT person I could relate to many of the short life-stories presented here. Some ideas were definitely not novel, but all and all, perhaps they were explained in just the right length, it made for a good reading.

A short book on some good lesson that one can learn from in any stage of their development.
Some time we assume based on our experience, I learn via this book how it can have a effect.

Lots of Experience-Driven Advice for Interacting on the Job
One thing I love about the world of modern self-publishing is that ordinary people who have hard-won insights into a topic can write a book and share it with the world. This is one of those books. The author has clearly given much thought to what to say and how to behave on the job. In this book, he gives a lot of “Don’ts” to consider, like don't assume unwisely (a favorite section!), don't be dishonest (and don't be too honest!), and don't have an attitude, among others. In each section, he shares stories where things either went right or wrong at work on the given topic. Sometimes he shares several stories in a section. Many of his points seem like they should be common sense, but if you’ve worked anywhere in the outside world, you have certainly seen these things at play—with yourself, your co-workers, and managers. There's so much wisdom in this book to take away that it should be required reading by every employee! If you've ever been concerned about how you have handled situations at work or would like to handle them better, I suggest you check out this book.
I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.
