Praise for WORKS WELL WITH OTHERS
"McCammon has amassed an arsenal of tips on how to get ahead...the
book's sly wisecrack ratio is strong." -The New York Times Book
Review
"Relentlessly funny and soberingly insightful."
-Entertainment Weekly "Hilariously and helpfully...guides you along
the path of acting like a professional."
-Bustle "A handy how-to guide on cultivating and applying today's
most useful business skills.... An effective amalgam of satire and
practicality, McCammon's functional playbook takes the guesswork
and much of the mystery out of job searches and appropriate office
etiquette." -Kirkus "How to achieve success in the workplace is the
gist of this humorously effective handbook...McCammon's lessons
have the ring of universal applicability and honest truth. Read
this delightful book, and relish its never-highfalutin approach."
-Booklist (starred review)
"My advice: Do not read this book at work. That's because it will
make you snort with laughter, perhaps even giggle, and generally
look unprofessional. On the other hand, DO read this book before or
after work or any other time. Not only is it hilarious, but it's
massively useful. Ross McCammon gives great advice about
interviews, speeches, collaborations, clothes and the art of not
being the office jerk. This is my favorite business book in years."
-AJ Jacobs, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Year of Living
Biblically
"Regardless of your vocation, Ross McCammon provides you with all
the skinny required to find your fanny with both hands. Hilarious
and true, this navigational chapbook knows the score."
-Nick Offerman, New York Times bestselling author of Gumption and
Paddle Your Own Canoe "A funny guide to help the introverted become
extroverts without becoming jerks. Indispensable." -Patton Oswalt,
New York Times bestselling author of Silver Screen Fiend "Works
Well with Others features some of the best, most pertinent
in-the-trenches advice I've ever read, the type of crucial guidance
that's mysteriously never taught in schools. Like this gem: When
you don't know what to say in a business meeting, shut up.
Invaluable book. And funny as hell. I wish I had this knowledge
when starting out. I wish I had a lot of things." -Mike Sacks,
author of the New York Times bestseller Poking a Dead Frog:
Conversations with Today's Top Comedy Writers "Do exactly what this
very funny book says (especially about clothes and underminers).
You will not only be entertained and enlightened, you will actually
get the job. You will get the promotion. You will become the boss.
The hard part is doing what it says. After that, it will be
easy."
-Daniel Menaker, author of A Good Talk: The Story and Skill of
Conversation "For everyone who secretly fears they're not
worthy--in other words, everyone intelligent--Ross McCammon's Works
Well with Others offers the perfect balance of practical and
motivational. His wry, plucky style will help you decode the
mysteries of the office place, from interviewing to politics to
just the right food to order at a business lunch (Hint: soup good,
sandwiches bad)." -Jean Chatzky, Financial Editor, NBC Today Show
"Most career advice books are full of platitudes and false
promises. Ross McCammon has broken that mold. I dare you to read
this without laughing frequently and applying his tips
immediately."
-Adam Grant, Wharton professor and New York Times bestselling
author of Give and Take
