Two years ago, author, speaker and blogger Okechukwu Ofili shared his stupidity with the world in the hilariously successful “How Stupidity Saved My Life.” Everything seemed to be going well for the engineer turned blogger turned speaker, but all that changed when he visited the doctors office for a routine check-up and was diagnosed with a life threatening disease. He later found out that his diagnosis was a result of over working himself at his job. After seeing so many people other people burnt out from work, he decided to pen his second book to show that contrary to popular belief, Laziness can actually save your life! The result is the witty HOW LAZINESS SAVED MY LIFE: A collection of radical business ideas for tired, overworked and frustrated people looking for an easier way to get stuff done! Continue...
How Laziness Saved My Life is a hilarious attack at the way corporations and businesses push themselves and their employees to the brink of stress. With chapters such as “Three Things I Learned From Getting Kicked In The Head” and “Why We Need Fewer Meetings and Managers” Ofili is able to poke fun at the work institution as we know it but at the same time offers up simple solutions for Managers and Entrepreneurs for getting the most out of themselves and their employees without killing anyone in the process. If you have ever been stressed at work or felt like strangling your Manager then you need to get this book. But don’t take my word for it, after all I am just the author writing in third person…see what others are saying about it:
Grabs you from the first page and never lets you go…until you are done or NEPA takes light. –Okechukwu Ofili

Good job
Catching title, nice illustrations! Certainly one that could draw someone's attention but likely to disappoint eventually. You see the problem with many Nigerian writer's is that they tend to deviate from topic. Having read the sample on amazon, what I saw was just stories. I haven't read the complete book but the writer appears to be a easy going fun-loving intelligent guy I sure hope he remembered to deliver what many readers would want to know i.e How Laziness saved His Life and how it can save others too. I can see influences from Malcolm Gladwell in his style of writing, from what I've read.However, I seriously doubt if any there will be any real substance in this book and will therefore not be buying a copy. I tried to visit his blog following your link, all I saw was some registration page asking for my email which I promptly closed. I strongly advise the author to get a better editor and not to generate fake reviews like he did for his first book on Amazon.
Aww happy for him though he was in my school and was also a guest speaker at one of our events goodluck

@udontexpect I think his twitter handle is @olfillispeaks.com. I'm a follower. Anyways for y'all in doubt of the books content, I can absolutely bet that you'd enjoy it. I got a copy of "how laziness saved my life" and i couldn't stop laughing and smiling *clears throat* reading till i was done. BTW how visited my school Late March.
God bless you bro @ Ofili; You are very hard working, so raep freely the fruit of your labour and enjoy God's blessings.
@ Anon, I'm glad you have reminded me about the SCAMMERS called WAZZUB. A lot of people can remember how I campaigned for WAZZUB everywhere and even gave them free ad on my sites after believing a sweet talking friend. Linda, remember I even tried to recruit you. Even on the 1st of April, I had my home page on WAZZUB and even forgot it there for almost a month. In fact, let me not waste your blog space Linda. I will definitely to so post titled: WAZZUB the SCAMMERS!!!
