Editorial Review: Product Description: People in the high flush of a successful but sometimes frenetic business career often look with envy at those who have entered their golden years. Ah! they think. To be retired! Free to wake when you wish, to have the time to reflect on the deeper things in life, play golf or quoits, or just go fishin' in the middle of the day. The stressed-out mind boggles at the prospect, and the lip cannot help but tremble and drool. At the same time, you may not be emotionally–or financially–ready to hang it all up. Which is why, whether you're a withered graybeard or a teeny young future hotshot in leather jodhpurs, you need Stanley Bing's global positioning system for a sane and pleasantly successful life: Executricks, or How to Retire While You're Still Working. Bing is the ultimate corporate insider, one who has attained nosebleed altitude and worked long and hard enough to lose his desire to work long and hard enough. Over time, he has watched the power players who have made their jobs into a waking festival of indolence and fun, and gleaned a vast range of executricks they have developed over the years, based around several core concepts:
A wellspring of executricks flow from these simple precepts, including:
Executricks is the most precious of resources for those who work hard but would rather be hardly working: a secret handbook that lays bare the stratagems of those who have already ascended to the pinnacles of power. No office, home, or backpack should be without a dog-eared copy. Early adopters earn extra points. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Not Einsten? This book may be for youAt some point in my career (it might have been yesterday, a Sunday, as I read this book and contemplated my workaday status), I realized that I was never going to invent flubber, direct "The Dark Knight", or craft a clever and historically-lauded Wall Street bailout plan, all of these having been done and properly credited, and therefore that I would never make Trump-size money. So at that point, probably yesterday as I lay awake after reading this book, I realized that my career goals were beginning ... Read More Rating: - Not what I was looking for......Fairly well written. Silly. Entertaining. But not what I was hoping to read when I ordered it. No real meat, or new ideas. I rated it well b/c it is well written, and I blame myself for not checking deeper to see that it was a humorous book. I was hoping for something similar to 4 Hour Work Week. Rating:  - Not for the Lay ManI was very happy with the service I received in ordering this book. I was just disappointed after reading it, it wasn't advice for the common worker. This would only apply to those in management positions. It kind of proved the point of how managers do hardly any work and get paid the most. Rating: - great on ideas, thin on detailsits written in a gag like tone but it scares me that under the gag he is being serious. Makes me want to short sell all fortune 500 companies who are large enough for people pulling executricks to hide in... Rating:  - Do not waste yout time and money..this was the worst book I have ever read... please do not waste your time.. it is full of garbage... somebody put together some words that do not make any sense at all.
