Product Details

About the Book

How to Make Work Not Suck delivers exactly what its title promises: a straight-talking, refreshingly honest guide to the real world of work, free of the vague, sanitized platitudes found in most career advice books. Written by London-based creative copywriter Carina Maggar, who has produced work for major brands including ASOS, YouTube, Nintendo, Pepsi, and Condé Nast, the book distills 120 irreverent, unusual, but genuinely useful insights drawn from her own career navigating the advertising and creative industries.

Organized as bite-sized, punchy lessons, ranging from "Google doesn't have the answer" and "Dream big, plan small" to "Assumption is the mother of all f**k ups" and practical advice on dealing with difficult coworkers, the book covers the full arc of a working life: building confidence to ask for a promotion, knowing when it's time to quit, breaking into a new industry, nailing a big pitch, and pushing past a creative block. Featuring playful illustrations by Simon Landrein throughout, and praised by The Washington Post for its acerbic, lightly profane charm, How to Make Work Not Suck reassures readers with its central, comforting message: no one really knows what they're doing, and that's perfectly okay too.
