Publisher Comments:

Gordon MacKenzie worked at Hallmark Cards for thirty years, where he inspired his colleagues to slip the bonds of Corporate Normalcy and rise to orbit - to a mode of dreaming, daring, and doing above and beyond the rubber-stamp confines of the administrative mind-set. In his deeply funny book, exuberantly illustrated in full color, he shares lessons on awakening and fostering creative genius. He teaches how to emerge from the "giant hairball" - that tangled, impenetrable mass of rules, and systems, based on what worked in the past and which can lead to mediocrity in the present.

As a recent inductee into the world of corporate business, I completely empathized with so many passages in this book. The author writes with so much humor, and the pages are filled with delightful little drawings and doodles. This book will keep you laughing from cover to cover. It gave me optimism that I could find a way to beat the monotony of the corporate world.
