Book excerpt: Adults of any age and job level need to develop an understanding of the issues and concerns that will face them in the next millennium-from relational life, work life, public life, and techno-life.

Through in-depth discussions of important topics as gender, diversity, humor in the professional setting, and business etiquette and protocol, this volume moves to new territory that existing books have not yet explored.
