The curmudgeon's guide to getting ahead

How can young people succeed in workplaces dominated by curmudgeons who are judging their every move? At this AEI book event, bestselling author, social scientist, and self-described curmudgeon Charles Murray will offer indispensable advice for navigating the workplace, getting ahead, and living a fulfilling life.

Among the tips outlined in Murray's "The Curmudgeon's Guide to Getting Ahead: The Dos and Don'ts of Right Behavior, Tough Thinking, Clear Writing, and Living a Good Life" (Crown, April 2014): excise the word "like" from your spoken English, don't suck up, get real jobs (not internships), and watch "Groundhog Day" repeatedly. For those starting out in their careers — and those who wish to advance more quickly — this event is not to be missed.
