"In my role as a writer and journalist, I have had the opportunity to observe exceptionally much of how modern civilized society functions. I have studied and described with interest the workings of governments, businesses, entrepreneurs, educators, and artists. I have talked to people of different professions and different levels of wealth and taken careful notes on them. I noticed that people, with very few exceptions, were working behind their sleeves. Everywhere you look, Her Majesty Incompetence rules the ball..." Observation and the gift of satire allowed Lawrence Johnston Peter to formulate his famous Peter Principle (to which, as they say, there are no exceptions!) and create a world bestseller, relevant in our time. Behind the screen of postulates of humorous philosophy hide important conclusions, with which it will be useful to familiarize everyone who wants to live his life with purpose. "The reason this book is unrivaled is that Peter has managed to make it damnably hooligan, but also incredibly useful and accurate. It reads like a first-rate parody of business literature. Satire works when it uncovers the truth and exposes the lies. Dr. Peter's book makes you laugh because it writes the truth. It is filled with practical ideas, and we can all use them to limit the damage that incompetence does to us and our organizations." (Robert Sutton)
