It's not every day that a book with fluorescent orange and blue writing lands on my desk. So I had to flip through "How to Be Useful: A Beginner's Guide to Not Hating Work." The book jacket suggests that author Megan Hustad "dismantles the myths of getting ahead and helps you navigate the murky waters of office life." Intrigued? I was. You can read excerpts on the book's Web site. The book is supposed to help you learn "why 'just being yourself' is a terrible idea," "why you shouldn't be nice," "how to screw up with grace and dignity" and "the right and wrong ways to talk trash about yourself." Lost me there. What do you do to love work? (Or at least not hate it.) — Christine Peterson
