Stanley Bing-How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying!
It was a great time talking with Stanley Bing this morning! Before there was the cartoon “Dilbert,” the movie “Office Space,” and the tv show “The Office,” there was the book How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying by Shephard Meade! Written with a cheerful, deadpan wit, and taking the form of a “how to” business guide, the book is essential reading for the lazy and the ambitious alike. Chapters include “How to Apply for a Job,” “How to Make Money”, and “How to Keep Money”—all while doing as little work as possible! “If you have education, intelligence, and ability, so much the better,” advises the opening chapter. “But remember that thousands have reached the top without them. You, too, can be among the lucky few.” First published in 1952, the book inspired the 1961 Pulitzer-prize winning musical and the 1964 movie. This February, the book returns to shelves just in time for the new 50th anniversary production of the musical, starring Daniel Radcliffe as J. Pierrepont Finch and five-time Emmy Award winner John Larroquette (in his Broadway debut) as JB Biggley. Directed and choreographed by Tony® and Emmy® Award-winner Rob Ashford, the show has music and lyrics by Academy Award and Tony Award winner Frank Loesser, and is playing at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre (302 West 45th Street in NYC). Previews begin February 26th, and the show opens on March 17th!!! Join DayBreak USA’s official Facebook page: www.facebook.com Subscribe to DayBreak USA’s official YouTube …
