Banu Yüksel continues to break the mold with her fourth book, “Corporate Snakes,” where she sheds light on various negative characteristics found in the corporate world.
By labeling individuals with various negative traits as “Corporate Snakes,” Yüksel aims to give a voice to many who have been victimized by these people in the corporate realm. The book consists of ten different stories, offering insights into the challenges faced by those affected by these individuals.
Yüksel has been making waves with her innovative approach to storytelling, being the first in Turkey to introduce a musical book project in 2019. She records songs specific to each book, personally lending her voice in the studio, with these songs often climbing the music charts. For her latest book, “Corporate Snakes,” Yüksel composed and performed the catchy and witty song “Ah Snakes,” which is now available on all digital platforms under the Purpleandmore Production label.
In addition to her musical endeavors, Yüksel offers a playful yet profound message to readers and music lovers, suggesting, “I recommend listening to this song when you are angry, upset, or stressed. Especially during the folk dance part, feel free to get up and dance to protest all the negatives of corporate life… Because sometimes, you have to go a little crazy to stay sane.”
