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., " The Peter Principle has cosmic implications." -- New York Times Back in 1969, Lawrence J.

    The seller had the item out the door in very short order. Unfortunately it was shipped via USPS and arrived a full week later than it was supposed to. I thought the shipping cost was a little high and it was certainly too high considering this small item got lost along the way and took 11 days to go from FL to SC. When the item arrived it was obvious the seller did an amazing job with the packaging. The item is perfect. Better than described. All in all the shipping was poor but packaging great

    Edthediver44 is truly one of the best sellers I've had the pleasure of buying from on Ebay. The book was just as described in marvelous condition and it came with the CDROM that was still in original wrapping and it was shipped fast and it had the best and most thoughtful packaging that I've ever seen here on Ebay. I totally recommend Edthediver44 :)

    Shipping was fast & item packaged with care. However, item was not as described. I was looking for a specific/older sound profile which was included in the listing title and description (thus why I ordered it). However, the sound profile did not match the description. Seller did respond, but this is a used one-off item in seller’s collection. Works fine, and included batteries were appreciate. However, at some point something spilled into the speaker area as there is residue of dried material.

    This product is dated 1969 and the world has changed some but the premise of the book is still right on.
