Book Review: Escape From Cubicle Nation

Escape from Cubicle Nation: From Corporate Prisoner to Thriving Entrepreneur by Pamela Slim. For me personally, the timing of this book and the contents were outstanding. I have been sitting in my cubicle for years, 27 of them – not that I have been counting.  When I was reading the pages, I had to stop and laugh and cry. For me, much of Section 1: Opening up to the opportunities – were spot on to what I have come to call my life. I have just started to branch out and attempt to do something about my situation.

 It truly is a working guide to help you move from corporate prisoner to entrepreneur. You just have to decide and act like you mean it! I believe that I now have a framework to help me transition to my next life. I have started that journey, without that framework. The good thing is I can course correct and continue marching to my new plan!

If you are happy going into your corporate cubicle – then this book is not for you. But, it will be enjoyable to read section 1, because you can definitely relate to much of that section.

Her wit and writing style made this a very enjoyable read… Job well done, Pam!

    Thanks so much for the review Steve!

    I am so glad you liked the book.

    I had fun writing chapter one. When you are in the middle of a row of cubes, it can feel so overwhelming! But when you step back and look at the whole situation, it does kind of make you chuckle.

    Good luck with your journey — let me know how it goes!

    All the best,

    -Pam
