INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER - A "provocative ... highly readable ... refreshing ... [and] practical" book (The Los Angeles Times) that explains why it is in your best interest to work as little as possible.
Your company wants you to be loyal. You should feel lucky--after all, your job is a privilege (think of all those who would like to have it). And you know (despite what you've read about Enron and WorldCom) that management has your best interests at heart. Your goal is to devote yourself to the pursuit of corporate profit, make your company number one, and reap the benefits of its success. Or is there something else you want to do with your life? Bonjour Laziness dares to ask whether you really have a stake in the corporate sweepstakes, whether professional mobility is anything but an opiate. It shows you how to become impervious to manipulation and escape the implacable law of usefulness.
