Product Description <br/>A lively collection of (88) short, punchy essays, providing food for thought, reasons to chuckle, flashes of nostalgia and - truth to tell - occasional grounds for outrage.<br/> From Scientific American <br/>Joe presents his views on just about any topic you can imagine, from feminism to leadership to answering machines. Since he admittedly qualifies as a seasoned citizen,' he has been around long enough to accumulate a storehouse of observations. Be forewarned: they're not all politically correct! Can we call Joe Klock the Mark Twain of the 90's? With this book, he's off to a good start. I'm looking forward to his first novel.<br/> From The New Yorker <br/>What makes this book special is that, while Klock offers humorous and fresh takes on perplexing issues, it is filled with wisdom that lingers long after the reader has enjoyed many good laughs. Each essay is short, two or three pages, a five-minute read, but the poignant messages linger on. One a day is just what the doctor ordered.<br/> Review <br/>It serves no purpose to make your followers feel inferior. Chances are, they have spouses, teen-agers, mothers-in-law and/or cats at home who can do the job quite effectively. --<br/>Inside cover<br/> From the Publisher <br/>Joe describes himself as "an upbeat, offbeat observer of the human tragicomedy who has made peace with most of his personal devils and formed a passionate alliance with the others." We tend to concur with his self-analysis.<br/> From the Author <br/>I started writing well over a half-century ago on the wall of Doc Levinson's Pharmacy in North Philadelphia, prompting him to predict that I'd end up scrawling graffiti on a prison parapet. Over the years, I ground out business articles, seminars, tapes, films and training programs on sales, management and human motivation to help support extensive investments in livestock (eight children). My current book,<br/>Like Klockwo
