You say, I want to make it to the top! I say, Why would you want that?

That kind of success requires personal growth. Personal growth is difficult, stressful, and risky. Put those adjectives in front of anything else and you'd run away as fast as you could!

How about an alternative form of success that requires no practice, no soul-searching, and no behavioral change whatsoever? Sounds too good to be true? It s not! It's called self-destruction, and you're probably already familiar with it. But do you know how to achieve it? With Jason Seiden's expert advice, you too can learn to:

• Marginalize yourself at work, whether you re in an entry-level position or a swanky corner office
• Promote mediocrity while squelching outstanding performance
• Use technology to your disadvantage
• Destroy old relationships and prevent new ones from forming

For safety's sake, the treatment of each topic also includes the strategies of those misguided fools who still choose success, so you know what not to do. How to Self-Destruct is a definitive collection of surefire, up-to-the-minute failure tactics that can bring you down from any height. Because when you set out to fail, you're guaranteed to win!

Review
When reading the book How to Self-Destruct there is that moment, after pages and pages of laughing at the stupid things other people do in their careers, when the reader hits the prescient passage.

It is that moment when you look up from the pages and say, "Hey, how does this guy know me?" --Ann Belser, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Customer Reviews

Insightful, witty, and remarkably accurate
As a management consultant with a doctorate degree in organizational psychology, I witness the self-destructive behavior of executives on a daily basis. I never cease to be amazed at the careless, short-sighted, and oftentimes ridiculous behavior of educated people in high level leadership positions. Jason has captured this lunacy in an insightful, concise, laugh-out-loud debut that provides a roadmap for how to manage your career. By highlighting those things we do to self destruct, Jason also skillfully guides the reader toward behaviors and attitudes that lead to success. I would recommend this book to colleagues and clients alike.

Whether you work in a cubicle or corner office, you must read this book!
I learned more about career development by reading this book than I did from earning my MBA, and I certainly laughed a whole lot more. Jason's wit and wisdom make this book almost impossible to put down. It had me taking a good look at myself and identifying the ways I have been sabotaging my own success. It also has some great tips for improving your personal life. I cannot recommend this book highly enough!

Plain and simple truths that everyone needs to hear about being your best in the business world.
A humorous and insightful jouney of our actions and attitudes as we try to ride the road to success. Jason's self deprecating humor allows you to feel in good company as you muddle your way up the ladder. Laughing your way through your own self-destructive behavior you can acknowledge, accept, and begin to make the changes neccessary to stop the destruction.
Funny and Intuitive, leaves you feeling there is hope, and change is possible.
