      I read most of that when I was at Uni - since there are parallels to the business world. Incredibly boring it was, too.

        Is it more boring than techy IT books?

        I bought 2 versions, the full on version and the distilled "for business executives version" I'm told it's required reading for small business owners.

          I read the illustrated cartoon version, was much more entertaining

            There's only one self improvement book you lot need to read and that's the Holy Bible!

              It's a bit bloody repetitive.

                      I think that the best book to read concerning office politics is "The Prince" by Niccolò Machiavelli
