Features: Darwin's Nightmare, a documentary nominated for the 2006 Academy Award, tells the story of a series of social tragedies triggered by scientists blindly following Darwin's "survival of the fittest" principle. The film shocked the world at the time. Looking at the Chinese workplace—today's working environment that contemporary people rely on—we can see similar "nightmares" constantly emerging. Today's workplace reality is not, as Darwin's theory of evolution suggests—survival of the fittest, the best adapted survive—but has long turned into "Darwin's Nightmare." Faced with an extremely severe employment situation, what should millions of university graduates each year do? In the face of the unpredictable workplace jungle, many career professionals who have worked for years can hardly help but feel lost, unable to see hope and a future. This book takes this as an opportunity, through extensive interviews and questionnaires, to try to paint a realistic picture of the contemporary workplace and hope to find success principles that can be followed. I believe every career professional will experience a sense of empathy for the professional confusion in the book and can derive solutions from it.
