Win a Copy of How To Succeed in Business Without Really Crying!

Here at Quirk, we like to laugh. As a publisher who takes a lot of joy in making people smile, comedy is important to us. So when comedy legend Carol Leifer's book found its way into our office… well, we just couldn't wait to publish it.

Now, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Crying is less than a week away, and we want to give you a chance to win a copy, as well as offer up some bits of wisdom from the book.

There are two ways to enter.

One, you can enter the Rafflecopter below by following us and Carol. Easy as that! We're giving away five books there.

Two, you can share some of the bits of wisdom here on Twitter. Tweet out one of these quote images with #HowtoSucceed and a link to the book's page (https://www.quirkbooks.com/howtosucceed). We'll pick five of you at random at the end of next week! And yes, you can enter multiple times. After all, we've got three images to share! The one up top, and the two right below.

Good luck!

Worst-Case Wednesday: How to stop a Runaway Golf Cart

You may think this does not apply to you if you are not a keen golfer, or if you have never driven a cart and don’t intend to, but you never know, one day you may find yourself in the driving seat of a cart which has suddenly become out of control. 

If you are a pedestrian, anywhere where they may be carts around, you may find yourself in the path of a runaway cart which is hurtling towards you. If you do, don’t worry, we can take tips from the Worst Case Scenario Survival Handbook: Golf, and apply this advice to situations both on and off the golf course.
