Book Description by the author: “How Laziness Saved My Life” Two years ago, author, speaker and blogger Okechukwu Ofili shared his stupidity with the world in the hilariously successful “How Stupidity Saved My Life.” Everything seemed to be going well for the engineer turned blogger turned speaker, but all that changed when he visited the doctor’s office for a routine check-up and was diagnosed with a life threatening disease. He later found out that his diagnosis was a result of over working himself at his job. After seeing so many people burnt out from work, he decided to pen his second book to show that contrary to popular belief, Laziness can actually save your life! The result is the witty ‘How Laziness Saved My Life”: a collection of radical business ideas for tired, overworked and frustrated people looking for an easier way to get stuff done! “How Laziness Saved My Life” is a hilarious attack at the way corporations and businesses push themselves and their employees to the brink of stress. With chapters such as “Three Things I Learned From Getting Kicked In The Head” and “Why We Need Fewer Meetings and Managers” Ofili is able to poke fun at the work institution as we know it, but at the same time offer up simple solutions for Managers and Entrepreneurs for getting the most out of themselves and their employees without killing anyone in the process. If you have ever been stressed at work or felt like strangling your Manager then you need to get this book. Grabs you from the first page and never lets you go…until you are done or NEPA takes light. –Okechukwu Ofili The book is so intelligently written and wickedly funny, it is as if I wrote it myself. –Okechukwu Ofili HOW LAZINESS SAVED MY LIFE is a must read for Managers and Business Leaders!
