Do people really want to fail?! No.

Wait, I take that back. Yes. Most people have good intentions, but when those intentions bounce up against the hard work required to turn them into reality, spectacular behavior often ensues.

How to Self-Destruct is the first real career book built around how people like you actually experience real life.

(Look around: the challenges you face, are they created by successful people doing what’s right? Or just imagining themselves doing what’s right?)

Daily Email Tip

Get tips on how to self-destruct in your own job, delivered right to your inbox! Rather than nagging reminders to do stuff you obviously don’t want to do (if you did, you’d be doing it already), these emails tell you to do the things you’re already doing!)

The Book Trailer

“Geez, I wonder what would happen if Jason made a cheesy little movie to support his book, in which he took on a Winston Wolf persona and blew up four hapless employees after harshing on their life choices?”

Really? You do?

Boy, are you in luck!

 

Praise for How to Self-Destruct

axiom-gold-award “Gold Medalist, Best Career Book 2008″
—Axiom Book Awards

“This book is a winner. Jason Seiden is a winner.”
—Jeffrey Gitomer, bestselling author of The Sales Bible

“Jason has written a very smart and funny book with a serious message that appeals to the best in his readers.”
—Dr. Michael Horowitz, President of The Chicago School of Professional Psychology

“Seiden’s approach is fully tongue-in-cheek. But he disguises it so well—and writes in such humorous fashion—that you almost find yourself cheering for the underachiever to remain just that…”
—Review, Grand Rapids Press

“With a sharp wit and a keen eye for what really happens behind the curtain in organizations, Jason sheds light on some of the essential truths we encounter in the world of work. The results end up hitting you in the head, the heart and the gut.”
—G. Hallenbeck, Ph.D. (This guy literally wrote the book on behavioral interviewing.)

“In this book, the author, an accomplished business consultant, eschews a traditional approach of cataloging a litany of all the right things to do in favor of a more edgy and devilish approach of teaching the ways to lose and self destruct. The result is more [a] powerful, interesting and effective way of identifying good practices than the traditional approach.”
—Morrie Much, Partner with the law firm Much Shelist

“I wanted to fail, flame-out, hit my head with a checkered Vans slip-on, but I made the mistake of reading the entire book – cover to cover. Don’t make that same mistake, or you might learn something about how to succeed at business or even life itself. Great job Jason!”
—Mark Treschl, CTO, OpinionLabs

“Shockingly, the behaviors that could ruin your career are identical to the ‘play it safe’ strategy most of us use to advance and protect our careers.”
—Mark Stelzner, founder of JobAngels

“The most entertaining book I’ve read in the career advice sector. Period.”
—Lance Haun, Your HR Guy

“Jason is a great writer.”
—Laurie Ruettimann, Punk Rock HR

“Utterly hilarious… a wake up call.”
—Pimp Your Work

“Very well done. It made me laugh… it also made me think.”
—Jenn Barnes, HRWench

“I learned more about career development by reading this book than I did from earning my MBA, and I certainly laughed a whole lot more.”
—G. Katz, reader in Dallas

“Funny and Intuitive, leaves you feeling there is hope, and change is possible.”
—K. McRae, reader in Chicago

“[Jason has] succeeded brilliantly.”
—C. Foundas, reader

“Light and easy to read.”
—L.G. Cosby, reader in Chicago

“The right amount of humor and sage advice mixed together.”
—L. Lazar, reader in Chicago

“Witty, incisive, and very, very fun to read.”
—Dr. M. Gaubatz, reader in Chicago

“This is by far the most informative book that I have read recently. It takes you by the hand and walks you through how to really stand out at work and excel in your most challenging situations.”
—5-star Amazon review
