Overview

"A management guru provides witty and funny tales of air travel in modern times. Originally published in hardback (under the title Why I Hate Flying; over 10,000 copies sold), a world-famous management guru turns his wicked sense of humor to air travel. The perfect airplane/airport read, especially for those who have to suffer the airports and airlines on a regular basis! Wide feature and review coverage in business and travel media expected. Management guru Henry Mintzberg has suffered the indignities of modern air travel for years. It's an experience he defines as akin to cattle-car herding, which begins at depressingly generic and chaotic airports, and passes through agonizing hours in cramped, sardine-class seats where you are served mystery-meat meals and inflicted with ""customer service"" that amounts to constant interruptions as you try to sleep or read. This witty and humorous book is Mintzberg's revenge on the airlines and a culture of commercialism that has taken to the skies and reduced a once-enjoyable adventure to a flying circus. It contains anecdotes and stories of a tormented traveler, which many of us will find ourselves nodding in agreement and laughing at."
