This book has been really good for me. It's easy to read, yet tackles the kinds of problems I face almost every day on the job. It's sort of a guide for the working person. And it's a great reminder that we can empower ourselves to steer our careers in the direction we want and take steps to ease the daily grind. I recommend it.

This is a book everyone should read. Bruzzese shows new ways to look at your work and yourself. She uses humor, great examples, and personal insight, as well as input from the many experts she interviewed. The book is practical, giving you steps you can take and ideas you can apply to your own job and career. The book is easy to read, and the examples make it easy to remember the good ideas. Anita's insight will help you feel better about your work, find ways to improve your performance, and look forward to developing your career.

I ordered this book a couple of years ago and ended up buying it for all my employees. I still think it has lots of valuable advice for most people who want to be successful. In fact,I'd like to see it expanded...some of my younger employees could use all the advice they can get.

I recently graduated college with a Business degree, and have started reading "career help" books to give me a leg up on the corporate ladder. Well this book was a complete joke and a total waste of money. First off, this book is very outdated. While most of the information may have been relevant ten years ago, it is common sense today. Also, while casually reading the book I discovered well over 10 typos that were easy catches. Here's an idea: learn to communicate effectively and that's how you can thrive in the work place! Please don't waste your time on this one, you will be severely disappointed.
