The Big Bing: Black Holes of Time Management, Gaseous Executive Bodies, Exploding Careers, and Other Theories on the Origins of the Business Universe Review

I had high expectations for this book after reading "Throwing the Elephant: Zen and the Art of Managing Up" and "What would Machiavelli Do?". Bing's black humour brought some relief to the entirely too serious business of business. After all, we all need to be able to laugh at ourselves, right?
This book is a collection of snippets on a wide variety of business experiences written between the late eighties and the present day. Given that there is no explicit theme for this book (apart from the madness of business and the people within it), I struggled to finish it.
Although some of the material provides 'applied learning' that will be universally relevant and recognisable, frankly chunks of it just aren't that amusing. Weird - yes, ironic - yes, funny - sorry, no.

If you ask people what they consider to be the most valuable assets or resources they have in mind in their daily activities, too many of them will automatically think of money and the things they can buy with it. In our time, this single resource has achieved such relevance that most people work as hard as they can to get more and more of it, without even knowing what they want to buy with it, and in doing so they are willing to sacrifice other resources which they only think about usually when it is too late to retain some of their value. And there you have assets such as your health, your relationships, and your time.
Some persons, though, are beginning to realize that a truly meaningful life is not really about making more money, but instead about making more time for ourselves and the things we should really care about, like our health, our family, our friends, our hobbies, our communities, and ultimately, our happiness.
This book will make you think about all this in a very entertaining way and with a very good sense of humour.
