Must read for anyone entering work force
Great book. I wish I read something like this when I got my first job in high school. For some people navigating work place politics comes naturally, but many of us don't have that skill and have to learn it. I love how the author says at the beginning of the book that work politics is kind of like sex. Everyone is doing it but no one is talking about it. One person may think that their coworker is sucking up to the boss, but when they are being nice to the boss, they consider that "networking" not sucking up. I gave it 4 stars overall as I think that the book could have been a little shorter and few parts/lessons are repetitive. However, great read and I highly recommend it.

Amateur.
Very disappointing . Extremely amateur. No real insight. Very basic workplace experiences and simple suggestions. I do not recommend.

OK Book for fundamentals
There's a lot of good info on this book. But I can tell from experience many scenarios are far from reality. I don't think it provides enough hints for professionals working in a heavily political enterprise.

Well worth your time. Wish I’d read it 20’years ago.
This book provides a clear direction through the office politics maze.
It teaches you things to help you not get in the way of your own success.
Highly recommended.

horrible
You know your in trouble when they start with a 10 minute rant of made up professional skills and experiences knowones ever heard of. The use obsure words in order to make you think they're smart. Very very superficial advice from someone that never worked a normal job like 99% of us.

Everyone should read this!
Very much an introduction book. However, extremely helpful. This is the reality! If you have ever said, “I hate politics and I don’t play them” buy this book. You either play the game or you get played by the game.

Worth your time!
I've been battling office politics for a long time now and think the author hits the nail on the head with this book. While a bit tacky or dramatic at times, it's full of great insight and worth the time and attention of anyone who must engage in politics (hint: that's everyone who has a job!).

Amazing!
This audible hit the nail on the head with every example given. It was like the author tapped into my life and gave me a new refreshed perspective on processing politcs in the work place
