How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying (original subtitle: The dastard's guide to fame and fortune) was a humorous 1952 book by Shepherd Mead. It inspired a successful 1961 musical of the same name, which was made into a movie in 1967. Mead's book satirized 1950s United States corporate business, in the guise of a "self-help" book.
The Library of Congress catalogs this title as non-fiction under "business books", with the subject headings "Success in business", "Management", and "Career development".
