Editorial Reviews

I love this book I was sent a free copy in exchange for an honest review. I read it in bed! Laughed and chuckled throughout my reading. Humour combined with practical tips and short soundbites make this a winner. Loved this... "O distractions. Turn off your social obligations (if a pandemic is not currently occurring, simulate social-distancing via bad mood and poor social skills). "

"Working from Bed" is very funny. It also prompts us to think because it is very practical. When we read the book, we see that the author captures what is true. A sample, in my words, is: don't rely on an apple computer to wake you; eating a real apple when you wake will keep you awake. There are twelve rules, each is on a single page with a drawing that is hilarious but not in color. We may want to adopt some of these funny ideas while we are guaranteed at home because of covid 19.
