"The Quotations and the ideas in this truly marvelous book are as fascinating as the variety of people quoted: generals, gangsters, statesmen, philosophers, holy men, and comedians. Peter's Quotations is a joy to read and talk about." (Louis Nye)

If you are not totally satisfied please return item for a full refund. Please send me a e-mail before leaving me a bad feedback so it can be resolved. We do our best to accurately describe the condition of items that we sell, but we are not the original owners of our items and we are not able to inspect every page so we may miss something. Older items tend to have some degree of tanning and if we state that an item is an ex-library copy, expect the normal stamps and stickers that are typical for those items. These are all used items unless otherwise specified and although we find items that look new, the majority have been used. So, expect some wear/creasing from normal use. We always ship your package in a timely manner. Unfortunately we have no control over carrier shipping time. Our goal is your 5 star feedback and we will do everything we can to ensure you are happy with your purchase.

( “The Peter Principle has cosmic implications.” —New Yor...)
“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.

In The Peter Plan, the author assumes the role of social satirist to reveal for humankind ways to avoid falling mass victim of the Peter Principle. His studies of the human predicament led him to conclude that most people want to move "forward" but at present they stand bewildered at a crossroads where forward happens to be whichever direction they are facing at the moment. Dr. Peter provides a vision of the ways in which we can fulfill our highest potential-the conversion strategies requiring our participation if we want to change an obsolete system to a new civilization.
