Necktie for a Two-Headed Tadpole: a modern-day alchemy book

Working for corporate America is a miserable experience. Can you escape with your soul intact? Is it possible to live a creatively realized life in corporate America? If not, then what are the alternatives?

Jason Murk’s book explores these questions with wit, insight and dazzling literary effect. Presented in the style of an illustrated modern-day alchemy book, Necktie for a Two-Headed Tadpole examines the creative process in the context of modern corporate living. Creativity, the book makes plain, is a complex alchemy of ideas and impulses rooted in the individual’s unique spirit and experience, a reality fundamentally in conflict with the purposes and operational demands of corporate life. This book will be of help to anyone with an artistic inclination who struggles to escape from corporate America. This book makes it clear that living and dying at your job every day in the corporate workplace is a problem. Corporate work is miserable; to call yourself a "cultural creative" or brand yourself as part of any "creative class" is to give yourself an artistic-sounding label which only distracts you from your misery. The only way to live a creatively realized life in corporate America, in fact, is to get out of corporate America. If you brand yourself as a cultural creative and you’re still working for corporate America, then you have to read this book!
