 The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook - Work
This book is hysterical and good reading material to pick up when you are having a bad day. Good to give to a co-worker or enjoy yourself. Many of the scenarios I can relate to.

 Useless ( ravasizadeh )
Are you kidding me, "if you sent a wrong email go to your colleague's desk open his email and delete your email" what is this, a joke?
This book is so useless and written irresponsibly, cause what if some one really does what he says??? you can be charged with misdemeanor!
The only thing I liked about this book is how to escape from the ceiling if you are trapped in a room. That was cool!

Hilarious! ( stephaniewriter )
BUY THIS! It is soooooooo funny. I used to keep it at work for a good laugh when things got stressful. Awesome!

 Boring , Obvious and predictable ( faraz_hussain )
I was very disappointed with this listenandlive title. All the advice and tips are so obvious and just statements of common sense. In fact many things seem contrived and the advice given does not seem practical at all. A lot of it is obsolete like the chapter about emails.

Right in the middle of ...... ( narcicheng )
I bought the "original" "The Worst Case Scenario Survival Handbook". I loved its humor and so I gave this one a try. I cant say it's bad. However, it's somehow much more serious than the original one, thus less humorous and fun. The problem is: it's not indepth nor detailed enough to cover, in my opinion as a white collar for over 15 years, 1/5 of the common difficulties in an office.
In short, if you really wanna improve your survival opportunities in your job, there are many better alternatives in a bookstore. If you just wanna have fun, this is definitely not a good choice. Therefore, not recommended. If you really wanna buy it, I sincerely suggest you to read the "See sample pages" here on Amazon for a quick look of what those "tips" refer to.
