I bought this at a book sale at the Omaha Public Library. It doesn't have any library markings.

From the inside dust jacket:
Why is the human race foundering in a morass of occupational, academic, and administrative inefficiency? Here, at last, is the answer in the delightful, dead-pan humor of this book.

Not only do the authors reveal why the world is so completely screwed up, but they provide proven techniques for creative control of personal, social, and business problems. They analyze the reasons for human failure and tell how to achieve a state of well-being by avoiding that unwanted, ultimate promotion.

Students of Freud, Potter, and Parkinson will be fascinated by this satirical examination of man's tendency to escalate himself to oblivion at his level of incompetence.

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

I need to clear some shelf space, so I'm packing some of my older books to sell in a garage sale. I'm going to donate the unpurchased books to charity, either Goodwill or the Midlands Literacy Center.
