Zombie Invasion Has Begun in the Workplace, Says Shawn McCann's ASLEEP AT WORK

According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, over 125 million people head off to work in the morning. With their thermoses of coffee, constricting neckties, and eyes trained on the clock, these masses fill the image of being "in the trenches".

Asleep at Work, by Shawn McCann, speaks to these millions who are trapped in the daily grind. From his years as an employee relations manager, McCann has noticed that there is a common air of lethargy that floats often over cubicles, and affects the overall work environment.

McCann says, "Years ago, while having dinner with some friends, I often discussed issues that I had to solve during the day at work and blurted out that 'I feel like people are always sleeping at work and nobody understands what is going on...'"

This revelation led McCann to compile his experiences into a reflective manual that will give others the reins to their work experience. Asleep at Work lays out the skills, attitudes, and tools that employees need for "waking up" and for beginning the revolution in how they work.

Aiming to be motivational, yet grounded, Asleep at Work addresses the ubiquitous disconnect between laymen and administrators, as well as corporate denial that infiltrates every level, and shows employees of every level how to revitalize their workday, every day, all day-so that they don't spend their days in a daze.
