Shepherd Mead
Publisher info
Shepherd Mead, author of "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying: The Dastard's Guide to Fame and Fortune," was one of those men dogged by success.
Born in St. Louis in April 1914, Mead attended the Univ. of Washington. Upon graduation he went to New York to practice being an intellectual and ended up as a junior executive and then a vice-president of Benton & Bowles. His biting attacks against society only gained him greater fame and success, and he finally resigned and fled to Europe with his wife and three children in 1957. He spent a year in Geneva and then went to England in 1958.
As an author, Mead published over fifteen books, including: "How to Succeed with Women Without Really Trying: The Dastard's Guide to the Birds and Bees," "How to Stay Medium-Young Practically Forever Without Really Trying," and "How to Succeed at Business Spying by Trying: A Novel About Industrial Espionage."
