"Almost as good as "what would Machiavelli do?" "
— Stanley (4 out of 5 stars)
“The premier business humorist of our time delivers indictments of (1) business leaders and (2) the revered Chinese war expert Sun Tzu. The author has the delivery of a stand-up comic as he offers countless examples of organizational practices that make people nuts. Listeners will enjoy the way his voice truly projects how much he understands corporate craziness.”

— Stanley, 9/25/2013" This is the only version of this book I can get Goodreads to pull up. I read the book-book version of Crazy Bosses- so please ignore the audio cd and Sun Tzu. <br/> <br/>Bing is very entertaining and has a great writing style. He almost has me convinced I want to be crazy. "
