We spend 41% of our working hours at work. Since we are asleep for a further 35%, it seems crazy to consign ‘life’, and with it any hope of fun, to the remaining 24%. Why do we leave our personalities behind when we set off for work in the morning? Why do we envy people who tell us that their work is fun yet somehow feel laughter is out of place in the office? And how can we deliver excellent service, or be better than our competitors, if we had rather not be working at all? This book is packed with ideas for banishing boredom and bringing fun to the office. And building stronger teams and increasing productivity in the process. This book is for anyone who would like to foster a team spirited positive working environment, get work into perspective (reduce stress levels), or simply enjoy work more. It should be studiously avoided by anyone who feels threatened by the very idea of deriving fun from work.
