About the Book

They are grave looking while commuting to their work; they are well dressed, mostly in shades of gray; they multitask to master the hyperactive pace of today, and they are tuned for success, success that is measured by the bags of money made per day. The business people of this world take themselves and their hunting for the bacon very seriously, and wasting time, laughing at themselves and useless performances are taboo.


About the Author

Walter Zibung, who worked in Japan for ten years and was also a top-level manager for one of the biggest ski brands in the world, meanders through his own professional life with a smiling look at some of his experiences and adventures. He describes lightheartedly that every now and then a hard working day turned out to be a bit useless or wasn’t a hard working day after all. Some of his amusing and even hilarious business stories show that striving to be always useful to the world might be hazardous to your health, while sometimes being useless and cheerfully admitting it might free your mind and be surprisingly inspiring. Dwight D. Eisenhower: “Plans are useless, but planning is indispensible.”
