Guru Amuses, Confuses, with Satirical Biz Babble

This book, cunningly written under the nom de plume Stephen Michael Peter Thomas, is published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc., the bluest of blue-chip business publishers and purveyors of such self-congratulatory bestsellers as "Warren Buffett's Way", "Soros on Soros", and "Bloomberg by Bloomberg"… Fortunately, The Book That's Sweeping America! is not at all serious. It is true that the author, boston-based consultant John Butman—forget the Stephen Michael Peter Thomas pseudonym for the moment—is a very funny writer running riot with his subject… Like all good satire, The Book That's Sweeping America! taps into some powerful realities. It will appeal to the disaffected of the business world much in the same way the cartoon strip "Dilbert" strikes a chord in any corporate cubicle denizen who has been senselessly trampled by management.
