Blurb
Today, all humans who work for a living are in business in one way or another. They are the participants, cheerleaders, anti-heroes, first responders, or economically injured people in a national and global game.
The media tend to divide the public into consumers and investors. This is no longer clever or useful..
Humans are far more than that. Most of them do the essential work that keep things going during turbulent times. They show up despite extreme weather events and deal with dysfunctional incidents, daily challenges, and multiplying uncertainties. They are also involved in the Great Resignation and seek relief from stressful living.
Of course once in a while it is necessary — even for the most enduring creatures —to stand back and take a deep breath. That’s where the collection of Business Fables come in. They tell concise stories that can make one’s day and bring on a smile. They are satirical, sarcastic, wise and funny. Enjoy!
My Opinion
A Wonderful Retelling of Aesop's Fables
Business Fables Adopted From Aesop For Humans Who Work For a Living by Erika Shelby re- incarnates our favorite classic Aesop's Fables. Each story is set with animal characters and are full of humor and satire. And the most exquisite thing about the book is that it gives you an insight into the prevalent business practices. Also, it throws some light on many issues like employee exploitation, malpractices etc. I really enjoyed the book.
Definitely, 5 stars for the book. Thanks to BooksGoSocial and Netgalley for providing me with an opportunity to read and review the book.
