funny Feb 09, 2007
By susan_d
William R. Vitanyi, Jr., author of the office satire Kyuboria, brings us his latest office lampoon, The Official Guide to Office Wellness. This quirky and funny manual demonstrates 101 common office maladies and pairs them with animal-inspired techniques and exercises to relieve the condition. Each one is charmingly demonstrated by real office workers in the accompanying photos.
There's a little something for every office dweller inside this book's pages, and more often than not, workers will chuckle at the conditions, smirk at the remedies, and laugh even harder at the full decriptions. From Bluescreenism to Coworker Adhesion Syndrome, Vitanyi proves that he's no office slouch. This is an environment he's in synch with, and his spot-on, wry observations are seldom discussed in general public in such a humorous manner, let alone compiled and chronicled so thoroughly as in this book. But that's part of the brilliance of the work. Because while it's "fresh" material, it's also instantly recognizable to other office drones. Even if the reader doesn't suffer from some of the maladies, such as Compliance Disorder -- which every longtime office dweller should suffer at some juncture -- or Ambitionism, they'll surely recognize one of their office mates who does suffer from the afflictions.
How he convinced so many people to pose in such a silly manner, I'll never know, though I suspect it has something to do with Task Exuberance. No matter how he pulled it off, this manual is the perfect escape to look forward to as a lunchtime break for those suffering from Noonism. And it'll make an even better coffee table book for office folks with a good sense of humor.

Great laugh for the office. Nov 24, 2006
By Michelle Dunn
"Award winning author, columnist"
I would reommend having this book available in the break room or by the coffee. If you work in an office, you will get a laugh out of this book. You will laugh out loud at the spoofs in this book about excercises cubicle dwellers can do. What is even funnier are the photo's of each excercise. Good for a laugh.
Move over Yoga. Jun 16, 2010
By N. Brown
This book is a good way to lift the spirits and get to know your animals better. The pictures kept me turning the pages, and the text thoroughly explained each position with a hint of sarcasm. Keeping a copy of this around the office definitely wouldn't hurt, but some of the positions look like they might. Recommended for anyone in need of a little office cheer.

By Richard H. Weingart
Good to see you making good in the famous author business. I got Ken Lamothe and John Morrison to read Kyuboria. Just ordered the latest,so the above rating is somewhat specious. Didn't know what else to click. Happy Birthday. Rostik. bovpod@yahoo.com

Hilarious Oct 07, 2006
By Jessica Willetts
I am actually in this book (p.66). It was so much fun to watch the author plan out his photos and I am thrilled with the way this book turned out. It's not meant to be taken seriously but it's great for a laugh when you're sick of sitting at your desk all day! I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a good laugh to brighten up their day.
