ms. kellaway's segment on the BBC is the reason why I love my predawn Monday commute. tho bits of this book may be a bit outdated the premise is valid and the writing splendid. she is insightful, straight forward, logical and practical all the while being witty.

I like Lucy Kellaway. She can witty-flirty sometimes.

Для чего эта книга? Я подобного бреда не читала, пожалуй, никогда! Нет смысла брать в руки и читать. Еще одно доказательство, что колонка в газете - не повод писать книгу.
