Book Description

January 23, 2009
You hate the title! I knew it. Of course you don't really hate your job. You are just not too pleased with certain individuals you have to work with and you would change a few things if you were in charge. But you aren't in charge, and perhaps that is what you despise the most. Money we earn under someone else's rule--while relinquishing our own individuality--pays for a little bit of freedom later ... and for benefits. Increasing seniority and benefits are the leash and collar that keep us from straying. Unpleasant job environments are realities of life and always will be. You, however, are responsible for your happiness--all of it. Looking forward to retirement means your life sucks, today. So? Change it! Employed or self-employed, whether you hate your work or not, you can claim a larger piece of freedom and individuality. Burn down your boredom, shock yourself out of silent suffering, and tear up the unwritten rules of subjugation. Discover new options so you can experience freedom and happiness.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mind - Jarring!, April 6, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: How to Better Hate Your Job (Paperback)
Reading this book will shake your opinions and confuse the hell out of you all the way through. You'll laugh often, disagree, become pissed off and finally shake your head at the deepest most original wisdom you may have ever read.

Sukop's style is arrogantly irreverent and you'll love it as he kills your sacred cows. An example ... "Common sense tends to degrade what works. Maybe the solution for monetary disparity in the world is not to fight greed but to promote it heavily."

Seriously, there isn't an author alive or dead who understands more about money and what causes it to flow than Egbert Sukop. If you want to read something powerfully fresh and definitely groundbreaking - buy this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Provocative? You can count on that!, February 9, 2009
This review is from: How to Better Hate Your Job (Paperback)
"Provocative? PROVOCATIVE??? Deliciously so. Thank you, Egbert Sukop, for this book. I am definitely talking about it, and want everyone I know to read it. Some I could only take in a chunk here and there--and this writing definitely snuck by my mind--most of what was said STILL hasn't registered there! Or like a friend I loaned it too--she couldn't sleep. I think that a good thing.
Egbert "approaches/ attacks/plays with" major assumptions Americans make about making a living.
The concepts offered are so "other." Short, sweet, not-so-sweet--a definite wake-up call to anyone who values out of the box living.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not your typical self-help book, July 26, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: How to Better Hate Your Job (Paperback)
Having worked in corporate America for over 10 years in various management positions and having an MBA from a Tier 1 B-School, I have read many self help books on money, business, management, leadership, you name it. This book is SOOO different from ANYTHING I have read. Egbert Sukop takes an insightful and creative look at motivation and assumptions people live by in life and in work. Then, quickly and almost rudely blows them away. This book is written as a sarcastic, albeit refreshingly honest look at how waiting for the next thing in life is almost never fulfilling and to do so is silly. It makes you examine why you are the way you are with your relationship to work. I read this book at a life changing stage in my life; one in which my career will likely be affected and while it irritated me at first, it got me to really think about what I do, what I want to do, and how I can approach it differently. I highly recommend this book and look forward to reading The Money Adventure by Sukop.
