It always amazes me how incisive and perceptive the blogosphere can be. Two (quite different) cases in point:

1. Over at the blog Heroes Not Zombies, Bob Leckridge offers some penetrating thoughts about Lesson Three. I'd offered "It's not about you" as workplace advice; Leckridge sees it as a broader form of guidance. Repeating the phrase, he says, can reorient your thinking when you believe someone else is behaving in way designed purely to cause you distress. Often that insidious intent isn't there --  [Beware the spotlight effect! --Ed.] -- and those four simple words can open "the doors to the possibility of a more empathic and more understanding interpretation of the other person's behaviour." 

2. Meanwhile, Happy Employee, a blogging HR guru based in Geneva, is the first reader to identify one of the most obscure Easter Eggish winks that are studded through the book.  On page 74, Diana bonks Johnny with common office item. Yes, that was indeed supposed to be the now iconic red stapler from the movie Office Space.  Kudos to Happy Employee for the keen key and disturbing knowledge of cinematic workplace triva.
