Another great book by the author
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Ever since I read the 'Emotional Vampires' by the same author, I bought all his books. The author offers very real and practical ways of dealing with the dinosaurs in one's life, including oneself. His secret is in recognizing human/animal nature and offers both insight and strategies for being more effective in the corporate world. The humor just makes it even more enjoyable to read.
Valuable information about different situations at work

The best book about the social things that happen at work I've read so far. Clearly written, based on the simple principles of 'reptile logic'. I use it as my bible.
An Excellent Remedy For Frustration On The Job
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I first read this book in 1990. Over the years I have given my personal copy to a number of co-workers who were having trouble coping with the workplace. I've had to replace my copy several times because they usually "forgot" to give it back. The chapter on the self-destructive nature of anger has served me well in many situations over the yeas. I consider this book a must for my own library.
Excellent realistic explanations of organizational behavior!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
The book deals with real life situations at work nobody else in the field dares to touch. The authors attitude towards the tough issues in organizational behavior is naturalistic, professional, humorous and buzzword free. Compuslory reading, especially for a young professional who wants to underderstand the implicit - and thus the strongest - micro-rules driving corporate life.
The perfect anecdote to frustration created at the workplace
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
If you find yourself hating your job, feeling frustrated at work, or you just can't stand someone you work with, give Dinasaur Brains a try. It teaches, with plenty of humor and VERY realistic examples, how to understand what's going on inside those "dinasaur brains" you work with (and your own)
