Reviews

Fascinating, thought-provoking, hilarious and sometimes harrowing.
*Gretchen Rubin, bestselling author of The Happiness Project*

A lively and spirited takedown... Its core argument is surely irrefutable.
*Guardian*

Entertaining
*The Economist*

Lyons is very funny journalist... Much of his polemic rings true.
*Financial Times*

Lab Rats defies easy description. I sputtered laughing and choked crying (literally, not figuratively) as I read it. Yes, Lyons gives Silicon Valley the thrashing that it, alas, largely deserves. But in the final third of the book, he offers us an effectively illustrated way out - an approach to work and business that puts people first.
*Tom Peters, bestselling author of In Search of Excellence*

Entertaining... A worthwhile and disturbing read.
*Sunday Business Post*

Funny and frightening.
*The Sunday Post*

Skewering corporate jargon, management science and, worst of all, enforced fun, Lyons' waggish jeremiad lays out how the world of work has changed for the worse.
*Tatler*

Laugh-out-loud funny
*Newsweek on DISRUPTED*
