Full of "shoulds"
I've read hundreds of Buddhist books, and one of the characteristics I appreciate most is the lack of judgmental, right/wrong attitudes and language. This book is the exception. It is written with a parental tone and is filled with "shoulds".
As I listened, I envisioned a frustrated HR manager who wanted staff to behave more appropriately and framed a book with that underlying purpose using Buddhism to mask that intention. The recommendations that to be successful you should to come to work before your boss, leave after your boss, and never surf the web are examples that were presented in that tone. I also found that there was much more of a typical self-help orientation than a spiritual orientation.
If you are a very new employee and need advice about appropriate behavior at work, I can imagine someone might recommend this book to you. If your challenges with work are more sophisticated than that, keep looking.
