Be More Vader Book: Career Advice from the Dark Side
The Be More Vader Book is a hardcover Star Wars gift book by Christian Blauvelt, published by DK, that turns Darth Vader, Palpatine and Supreme Leader Snoke into tongue-in-cheek career coaches. It is built for the moment when office politics feel less like a team meeting and more like a galactic command structure, with a promotion, a rival or a difficult employee standing between you and the next rung.
What catches the eye is the small, giftable format: a 64-page illustrated edition, a 5.39 by 7.32 inch trim, and a hardcover that can sit on a desk without taking over. The premise is simple and shareable: borrow the assertiveness of the saga's most powerful leaders, then use it on something as ordinary as a printer that will not cooperate.
What Makes This Be More Vader Book Stand Out
- Assertiveness from the Dark Side: Vader, Palpatine and Snoke supply the voice for dealing with common professional pitfalls.
- Office survival topics: The book covers promotions, competition, difficult employees and the climb from intern to CEO.
- Illustrated DK hardcover: A 64-page English-language edition in a compact 5.39 by 0.47 by 7.32 inch format.
- Desk-friendly weight: At 7 ounces, it is easy to keep nearby, pass around or wrap as a gift.
- Part of the Be More series: A series entry for readers who like the Be More format.
Who It Makes a Good Gift For
This is a natural pick for Star Wars-fan coworkers, bosses and office friends who will get the joke of taking career advice from Vader, Palpatine and Snoke. It works as a desk book that gets picked up, passed around and quoted after a meeting, especially for someone who likes dry humor and small hardcover gifts.
Keep it in mind for Secret Santa, white elephant exchanges, office birthdays and graduations. It also suits a colleague who has just been handed more responsibility, a manager with a sense of humor, or a friend who quotes the saga at lunch and would enjoy a tongue-in-cheek survival guide for the office ladder.
What to Know Before Buying
This is a 64-page hardcover, so it is a compact gift book rather than a long career manual. The publisher lists a reading age of 13 to 17, the language is English, and the illustrated DK edition measures 5.39 by 0.47 by 7.32 inches and weighs 7 ounces. It will suit someone who enjoys Star Wars humor and office in-jokes; it is not the best fit for a reader who wants a serious, in-depth leadership guide.
If you know the coworker, boss or Star Wars friend who would laugh at this, get a copy for the next office birthday, Secret Santa or graduation gift.
