Summary: That's a entertaining book, but...
Review: I think Scott Adams knows how to make fun using corporatives situations. But I think this book could be better. I expected more. It isn't as funny as Dilbert's Principle, but is a good book. Instead of spenting working hours doing xerox copies or stealing office supplies, read this book. It teaches you good tricks to find happiness at work

Summary: Good one.
Review: I usually prefer the Dilbert strips by themselves, as opposed to a book containing strips and Adams' commentary. However, this one was funny. Adams' chapter on "Office Pranks" had me in stitches!

Summary: FUNNY by A.M.
Review: I was on a campout when my tentmate brought "The Joy Of Work" with him. I swear, this book is gold. For example, the prank section, there is "the bathroom prank". It is a prank where you take a pair of pants, shoes (preferably matching your boss's, or in my case,a archenemy's or teacher's), newspaper for stuffing, a tape recorder for bathroom sounds and put them in a stall in the bathroom. Turn on the recorder and get out. This will make people not only believe that the victim is constipated on the crapier' but also hold up bathroom traffic in a school of 900 students. If all goes well, this will cause mayhem. If you want to own this Jedi Prank Master of a book, buy it from Amazon.com!

Summary: It is so true scared me and everyone else who read it. AA++
Review: I work for managed care and this book has so many truths that it should be mandatory reading. Every one who think they want to manage must read this book to be a better manager. Scott Adams again demonstrates his keen insight and brilliance. I had to hide the book to keep all my coworkers away from it so I could read it first. Those who don't get the point probably have pointy hair and no mind. Keep it up Scott, Dogbert, Ratbert, Catbert, and Bob. You get an a++++++++++++++++++!!!!!!!!!

Summary: Scott, It's Just Not Funny!!
Review: I'm a big fan of Dilbert and believe that Scott Adams is a genius for developing a comic strip that is geared to the white collar, never-going-to-be-an-executive world. His comic strips are generally hilarious and very accurate of the corporate world (even when he exaggerates). I'm a big fan of Scott Adams, the cartoonist.However, I am rapidly starting to sour on Scott Adams, the author. His first book, The Dilbert Principle, was a masterpiece that gave humorous insight into the corporate world and the idiotic things that occur there. But his three succeeding books, including the most recent, The Joy of Work, are nothing more than Scott Adams' attempt to write book-length comedy routines that frankly aren't very funny. He provides unrealistic ways to deal with co-workers and, in this book, wastes a lot of time trying to tell you that in order to be funny, your attempt at humor must contain 2 of 6 elements. This chapter on humor, which is over 60 pages long (1/4th of the book) and goes on ad nauseum for just about every two element combination, is a total waste and is included only to make the book a reasonable length to make into a hardback and sell for $25 (adding about 100 Dilbert strips helps extend it as well). I have seen this book already being sold in bookstores at 50% off. I wish I had waited. I really wish Scott Adams would focus his energy on making cartoons that make us laugh instead of half-baked books that are about as interesting as say, a meeting with a pointy-haired boss.

Summary: Got Me Through Many Mondays...
Review: No matter what end of the office spectrum you find yourself on, this book is guaranteed to be an entertaining read, to say the least. In The Joy of Work, Scott Adams combines his satirical logic with first-hand experience in cubicology (the study of cubicle life) to prove once and for all how a paper-pushing life can still find happiness in a little box. From office pranks to ways in which one can get out of doing any actual work, Scott Adams shows us the ropes of office life. Honestly, if you or anyone you know finds that getting up every morning to the same routine, working with the same people, in the same small, efficiently-shaped space is becoming unbearable or comparable to spilling hot coffee on yourself, don't hesitate to find relief in this book. If you've ever asked yourself, "Where is this going?", "Where am I going?", or "How many more days till I can use another sick day?", read this book. I found the answers among the little black squiggles on these rectangly-shaped structures of white cellulose, and I think you can too. This book is like Chicken Soup for the Cubicle Worker's Soul. (I wouldn't be surprised if that was an actual book...)

Summary: Snort-out-loud funny!
Review: Really, really funny and hits close to home -er, work- for many of us. The section where Scott Adams goes 'undercover' as a famous management consultant had us screaming with laughter.
Rating:
Summary: Cynical humour at its best
Review: Scott Adams captures the high-tech industry of the 90s at its funniest and worst! Dilbert portrays real-life situations that all "cubicle-dwellers" have encountered at one point of time or another. Most of these encounters are often unpleasant, but terribly funny under the witty pen of Scott Adams. This work is mostly original work and not a collection of the syndicated Dilbert cartoon strips.
