How to be Useful overturns everything you thought you knew about moving up in the world. Drawing on real-life experiences of 20- and 30-somethings, as well as extracting the very b est advice from a century of 'success literature' (the self-development books we're too embarrassed to read), Hustad shows us where we often go wrong in our pursuit of career success. Then she tells us how we can do better. The result is surprising and provocative, and the advice invaluable to young people entering the workplace for the first time, many of them in a state of 'work-life unreadiness'. Humorous yet wise, ironic yet marvellously practical, in essence this is a guide to personal effectiveness for those normally too cool, cynical or shy to read books on self-improvement. Show more
