James T. McKim, Jr.’s new book is genuinely something we haven’t seen before. An elaborate, literary roadmap of sorts that makes the case interactively for optimizing diverse practices for both established and burgeoning workplace hierarchies in the postmodernist era. McKim Jr. is wise in that he never shames the reader into a certain state –

“I still go to Craig’s group classes when I’m not working. I joke and call it my church but, jokes aside, I have often considered religion and art to have parallels.

It doesn’t take much more than a couple of seconds to get caught up in the vibrancy of “Weary Old Highway” from Jim Hurst, and although I think the song gets even more exciting when Darin and Brooke Aldridge step into the mix, there’s no debating who the true star of this show is. As
