Book Synopsis

?The Peter Principle has cosmic implications.?
?New York Times

Back in 1969, Lawrence J. Peter created a cultural phenomenon with his brilliant, outrageous, hilarious, and all-too-true treatise on business and life, The Peter Principle?and his words and theories are as true today as they were then. By posing?and answering?the eternal question, ?Why do things always go wrong?? Peter explores the incompetence that runs so rampant through our society, our workplace, and our world in an outrageously funny yet honest and eye-opening manner. With a new foreword by Robert I. Sutton, bestselling author of The No Asshole Rule, this twenty-first century edition of Peter?s classic is set to shake up the business world all over again.
