1.0 out of 5 stars Very disappointing and boring, February 15, 2003
I eagerly purchased this book, because I had found the Peter Principle to be a 'five star' delight. But, where the first book was distinguished for its wit, creativity, and originality (particularly with its being so in contrast to the 'positive thinking' approach), this one is stale and boring.

Peter borrowed the same tired self-help adages that one could find in any second rate magazine, throwing in the usual advice about the 'new food pyramid' and exercise. It was as far from original as it gets, and seemed to cater to current trends and cliches rather than demonstrate the least creativity.
