Murphy's A-Z

by David Williams, Frank Taylor (Illustrator)

Overview

This mini-book features Murphy, a cartoon character the author developed with cartoonist Frank Taylor. David Williams has used Murphy many times in the training room and in his publications. He pops up to put a smile on people�s faces, always with one of those ironic maxims that send up business and office life. Above all, Murphy reminds us of what conductor and motivational speaker Benjamin Zander calls Rule number 6: �Don�t take yourself so goddam seriously.�
