Monkey Business

About the Book

Author Heather A. Wandell, after observing thousands of hours of human workplace behavior and hundreds of hours of monkey behavior, discovered there is a connection! In Monkey Business, she compares the monkeys’ behavior to the human behavior and offers unique business and personal life practices to help to move your life forward.
