Written by Sam Stall
SUMMARY:
Released by Running Press Book Publishers in 2011, this 144-page hardcover compiles a series of encouraging expressions and catchphrases (yet not quite clichés) meant to inspire workplace rookies. One might even say these tips could help keep savvy (or jaded) professionals humble. Vintage images starring Moe Howard, Larry Fine, Curly Howard, and Shemp Howard help the Stooges demonstrate timeless tidbits – i.e. the necessity of leading by example; avoiding the hindrance of overthinking problems; the importance of a strong team spirit; and so many more.
REVIEW:
Spoofing the business management/self-help genre, author Sam Stall does an ingenious job of pairing common sense advice with classic Stooge antics. Hence, this book’s good-natured appeal extends beyond hard-core Stooge fanatics, whether it’s a gag gift to recent college graduates, or those perhaps considering alternate careers. Courtesy of Stall’s lightweight humor, The Three Stooges Career Guide is a low-key gem for anyone who needs a stress relief break from the workplace. Then again, there are some kernels of wisdom to be found along the way. Rest assured, the Stooges will remind readers that a smile and a good laugh are still invaluable business tools.
