Fuck Bureaucracy: And Why You Can and Should Go Your Own Way by Pat Watson

A two part book. Part one is a new definition of "bureaucracy" intended to state a case that all bureaucracies are designed to reward those at the top of the bureaucratic pyramid at the expense of the stated mission of the bureaucracy. Consider all the bureaucracies that are in charge of your paycheck and in charge of your freedom. Do you think those bureaucracies truly make your life better? Part two is aimed at the people that are frustrated at their jobs and who live a large majority of their lives as nothing more than cogs in a bureaucratic machine no matter how hard they try to bring value to their organization. This second half is probably more important than the first half as it is designed to break down the propaganda that has been fed to you to keep you paid just enough and just miserable enough to not quit. I want to change the world, and I know how many people are truly miserable for 20 or more years of their lives, working for the machines. You can work for yourself, you can find or make a better life for yourself outside of your cubicle following your passion.
