Review by Sukey Howard

Making the workplace more workable is usually on everyone's self-improvement agenda, and, unfortunately, it's usually not a laughing matter. But for Scott Adams, the former occupant of cubicle 4S700R at Pacific Bell, and now the creator of Dilbert, the corporate cartoon character who has been maligned by management and buried by bureaucracy, it is. In The Dilbert Principle, read by the author, Adams pokes fun at clueless managers, bad bosses, the subtle intricacies of the marketing arts, team-builders, and tyrants. A little satire might just be the jump-start you need.

Scott Adams and Dilbert may scoff, but Laurence G. Boldt is determined to show you How to Find the Work You Love (Penguin Audiobooks, $9.95, 90 minutes, 0140863095). His technique for discovering your true calling involves asking the right questions of yourself and trusting the answers that come from your heart and soul.
