About the Book

'One of the few books that is actually going to make a difference to your life'.

As you read 'The Workplace Prince, you will feel empowered on the question of how to win back your sanity at work.

What sets this book apart is that it goes way beyond the twee, 'positive thinking' basics of so many publications of self-improvement. It has a mischievous bite. The arguments are partly influenced by ideas of shrewd statecraft from Machiavelli's classic, 'The Prince'. Therefore, it enjoys both high literary standards and mental rigor. Yet the style of the writing is also accessibly humorous; and its down-to-earth examples from everyday life are straightforward. The book can be enjoyed by anyone.

Here, the reader is not baffled by weak grammar and trendy psychobabble. Instead, the well-written pages often use gentle wit to draw out the deeper irony and ethical significance of routine events at work. When an argument is intellectual, it is delivered in a clear, stylish and articulate way - which keeps the book from from sounding too heavy.

The topic of how to swim safely in the shark tank of the modern workplace is discussed realistically and with healthy - and very, very funny - cynicism.

For Jon Lee Junior, the universe operates through morality: and to some degree every action is either wisely good or willfully bad. Therefore, this is a book for those people who want to be both morally decent and socially accepted on one hand, but also smart and successful on the other.


About the Author: British author Jon Lee Junior (Jonathan Lee) has written 8 critically acclaimed, full-length books. He maintains that writing is a vocation which requires years of dedication. The result is that his books are enjoyable, understandable and easy to read - but also serious, informed and classically well-written. He believes in "urging up" - which is the opposite of the modern disease of dumbing down. Good writing should be classy but not artsy. Jon Lee Junior has lived and taught in East Asia for 15 years. Much of this time was spent in background historical research for his controversial Japanese thriller, 'The Kyoto Complex', and for his screwball comedy series, 'A Coward in . . .'. During his travels, he has had the pleasure of working alongside many North Americans (and Australasians) and so his writing is mid-Atlantic in tone, vocabulary and national idioms. It can be enjoyed by any English-speaking community. Despite his self-consciously fuddy-duddy and old-fashioned attention to detail, Jon Lee Junior is a truly international writer - and the humorously sane voice of our insane age. In these regards - as in so many others - his 'aristocratic standards' are at the same time representative of today's world and accessible to all people. His hometown is Portsmouth in the UK, a city that is rich in history and the life of great writers, (even though its own residents gleefully laugh at Portsmouth's lack of high culture). contact (specifying the query in the subject box) jonleejnr@hotmail.com
