El Placer de Trabajar: Guia Dilbert Para Hallar la Felicidad a Expensas de Sus Companeros de Trabajo Book

After reading the Dilbert Principle and the Dilbert Future (both brilliant), I was inspired to read the next in the series. It was something of a disappointment. There are a lot of pearls of wisdom and humor in there. Scott Adams is an insightful observer of the human condition, a creative thinker and has a predilection for puns, which make all his work fun reading. But while the previous two were a bit Machiavellian at times, this one was often downright mean spirited. There can be humor in others suffering - that's the basis of slapstick - but this was often so cruel as to make it not funny any more. We'll call it the Yerkes-Dodson curve of humor... (hee hee... psychologist in-joke... yes, I know, leave the humor to the professionals... reading Dilbert books doesn't make me funny... I get it...) Anyway, long story short, if you're wanting to read some funny office humor, go with the other two books first, they're better. If after that you're not satiated, this isn't a waste of time, just prepared for a bit of cringing. On the plus side, it has some nice recommendations for April Fool's pranks - not that I would ever pull such things on my friends and co-workers or even instigate such behavior...
