Overview
Stanley Bing follows his enormously successful What Would Machiavelli Do? with another subversively humorous exploration of how work would be differentāif the Buddha were your personal consultant.
What would the Buddha doāif he had to deal with a rampaging elephant of a boss every day? That is the premise of Stanley Bingās wickedly funny guide to finding inner peace in the face of relentlessly obnoxious, huge, and sometimes smelly bosses. Taking the concept of managing up to a new cosmic plateau, Bing urges no less than a revolution of the spirit in the American workplace, turning overwrought, oppressed, stressed-out employees into models of Zen-like powers of concentration, able to take their elephant-like bosses and grey, lumbering companies and twirl them around the little finger of their consciousness.
In Bingās unique tradition of social criticism cum business self-help, Throwing the Elephant presents Four Truths (or possibly Five), a Ninefold Path, and one useful, hilarious guide to workplace sanity, success, and enlightenment that surpasses all understanding, survival.
