    About this audiobook

    “A masterful curmudgeon who causes laugh-out-loud moments.”—USA Today

    “Bing delivers his works smoothly, projecting tones of deadpan sarcasm and animated mockery befitting the often irreverent content.” —Publishers Weekly

    From celebrated business writer and Fortune columnist Stanley Bing, the bestselling author of What Would Machiavelli Do?, Throwing The Elephant, Sun Tzu is a Sissy, and more, comes a collection of playful fables poking fun at corporate archetypes while imparting useful and humorous lessons for anyone striving to make it big in big business. Illustrated throughout by New Yorker artist Steve Brodner, Bingsop’s Fables is the perfect addition to any executive bookshelf in need of a little humor—and a lot of excellent advice.

      Bond Begins

      Apr 5, 2020

      ‘COMMANDER JAMAICA’ SOUNDS, maybe, like a problematic fish-out-of-water sitcom from the 1970s. It certainly would have been an inauspicious title for the first James Bond film, but was, in fact, the proposed name of a TV series that Ian Fleming had p
