Story
Scott Adams was one of the earliest public figures to predict Donald Trump’s election. The mainstream media regarded Trump as a lucky clown, but Adams - best known as “the guy who created Dilbert” - recognized a level of persuasion you only see once in a generation. We’re hardwired to respond to emotion, not reason, and Trump knew exactly which emotional buttons to push. The point isn’t whether Trump was right or wrong, good or bad. Adams goes beyond politics to look at persuasion tools that can work in any setting - the same ones Adams saw in Steve Jobs.

In How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big, Adams shares the game plan he’s followed since he was a teen: Invite failure in, embrace it, then pick its pocket.

We are living through the most prosperous age in all of human history, yet we are listless, divided, and miserable. Wealth and comfort are unparalleled, but our political landscape is unmoored, and rates of suicide, loneliness, and chronic illness continue to skyrocket. How do we explain the gap between these truths? And how should we respond? For evolutionary biologists Heather Heying and Bret Weinstein, the cause of our troubles is clear: The accelerating rate of change in the modern world has outstripped the capacity of our brains and bodies to adapt.

In The Righteous Mind, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt explores the origins of our divisions and points the way forward to mutual understanding. His starting point is moral intuition - the nearly instantaneous perceptions we all have about other people and the things they do. These intuitions feel like self-evident truths, making us righteously certain that those who see things differently are wrong. Haidt shows us how these intuitions differ across cultures, including the cultures of the political left and right.

The former land of opportunity seems to be in irreversible decline.

Publisher's Summary
From the creator of Dilbert and author of Win Bigly, a guide to spotting and avoiding loserthink: sneaky mental habits trapping victims in their own bubbles of reality. If you've been on social media lately, or turned on your TV, you may have noticed a lot of dumb ideas floating around.
"We know when history will repeat and when it won't."
"We can tell the difference between evidence and coincidences."
"The simplest explanation is usually true."
Wrong, wrong, and dangerous!
If we're not careful, loserthink would have us believe that every Trump supporter is a bigoted racist, addicts should be responsible for fixing the opioid epidemic, and that your relationship fell apart simply because you chewed with your mouth open.
Even the smartest people can slip into loserthink's seductive grasp. This book will teach you how to spot and avoid it - and will give you scripts to respond when hollow arguments are being brandished against you, whether by well-intentioned friends, strangers on the internet, or political pundits. You'll also learn how to spot the underlying causes of loserthink, like the inability to get ego out of your decisions, thinking with words instead of reasons, failing to imagine alternative explanations, and making too much of coincidences.
Your bubble of reality doesn't have to be a prison. This book will show you how to break free - and, what's more, to be among the most perceptive and respected thinkers in every conversation.
"They say you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but they never tell you why. So I went ahead and judged it. Looks great!" (Juan Variable)
"Don’t think of this book as something you ‘read.’ Think of it as ‘survival.’ And you want to survive, don’t you?" (M. Wordthinker)
"If you love this book, you are probably part of a clandestine global conspiracy to control the world. You’ll probably deny it, but I know what you are thinking." (Reed Mines)

Good Information
I can feel my mind actually expanding listening to Scott's ideas. Though i do not agree with several of his positions vis a vis politics and climate change i must say i appreciate that he is attempting to release me from my mental prison. Since beginning to listen i have begun to recognize these tendencies in myself. I also appreciate that the author is trying to help us not only listen to different points of view but to speak more productively to folks who see things differently. This will be critical going forward in our very polarized political times. thank you for writing it. Sincerely, Liz Jardine

Good - although it seemed like the editors accidentally released an early draft vs. the real finished product?
Great topics, great perspective as always.
I enjoyed the book but it could have been better. I was expecting a more organized and polished product from Scott. It didn’t seem structured well or linearly organized in a clean way. More than once I was convinced my phone had inadvertently flipped back to a previous chapter I had already heard but in fact it hadn’t.
Perhaps it’s because I used the audiobook (I prefer reading ) but it came across as meandering, a bit jumbled and highly repetitive. I’m no author but I would love to read an updated draft that feels more like a finished product.

Great simplified critical thinking book
This book simplifies and distills a lot of sophisticated critical thinking concepts. Excellent for beginners and a great book for people who already understand a lot of the cognitive biases to describe and think about them in a very accessible way so they don't sound like elitest jerks in debates.

A systems approach to critical thinking
First off, I really enjoy Scott's podcast and other books. Every one of them contain useful concepts with practical applications. I've been looking forward to this, and actually got it both in audiobook format along with the hardcover to support his work. Scott doesn't need my money really, though he has earned it. I bought both because I believe that if I can help make this a best seller, it will improve our national unity by way of improved critical thinking skills on a difficult subject.
I recently finished "The Righteous Mind" by Jonathan Heidt, and it is a book that pairs very well with this. It gives some insight into how the other side of the political spectrum thinks, and understanding that yes, even people we disagree with mostly have good intentions.
This book is all about stepping back from your biases and examining how you are thinking about subjects which are incredibly polarized in today's political climate.
The thing is, that happens because Scott simply talks about President Trump's persuasion skills from an objective standpoint. He says similar things about people on the left as well, but we live in a world where people are so tribal that saying anything remotely positive about someone on the other team is viewed as an unacceptable act.
I should clarify that this isn't really a political book. It just uses some of that subject matter for its examples. It is about systems of thinking which allow the reader to learn how to find and fix bad thinking in themselves, and also to try to lead others to the same.
This book at its core is an attempt to give people the skills to root out the biases in their thinking, take a step back from that, and get out of their bubble. It's a practical, systems approach to breaking through our biases and being a bit more objective.
Anyhow, I hope people give this book an objective read and try to apply what they learn as they read it. It takes a certain self-discipline to do so, but there are real rewards to applying these concepts.
One thing I think we can all agree on, and that this book teaches is that not being afraid to critically examine your own thinking can yield real rewards. It pays to break out of your lane. You may not come out thinking exactly the way Scott does. I don't in fact agree with everything Scott advocates personally. I do however see the practical value in his approach though, and I think you will also if you give this book a read.
Once you finish this, I also highly recommend Win Bigly.
Since this is the audiobook review, I'll simply add that Scott does an excellent job as narrator. He's obviously got a lot of experience with public speaking, and when he hits subjects he is passionate about, you can hear him emphasizing his own arguments to make the point he is aiming at. That sort of nuance can be lost with a separate narrator.

Who Knew Dilbert Had So Much to Teach?
Having long lived his Dilbert comic strip, I guess I shouldn't be surprised that Scott Adams has so much depth. On the downside, as an engineer who values his grasp on logic, it was less than thrilling to hear myself identified as a somewhat frequent practicioner of Loser Think! Hey, live and learn, right?

Even if you don't think much of Scott Adams, you should read/ hear this book. He doesn't try to impose any opinions or political views on you. The object is to open your mind and let you see the nuances of the world.

High expectations maybe
After reading Win Bigly by Adams I was really looking forward to this book, as I was hoping to learn as much as I did with the previous book.
Unfortunately although there are some good advice in it I can say that I was able to extract as much from it. A lot of the things were either fairly obvious (at least to me). In some occasions though not many I felt like some of the points made could be easily pushed back in a way that would render the advise not useful or realistic.
In any case was a light entertaining reading and the way Adams reads it adds to it. I don’t regret reading it and might actually go back to some chapters but overall I don’t think it had much substance as the previous book had.

A bit too much about Scott Adams
Like Scott Adams other books they all try to encourage an alternate view (or filter) on life. But as I made my way through I soon found that this book is similar to his others in that he'll remind you repeatedly that he's a trained hypnotist, a successful cartoonist, and now a successful political pundit. Overall it's an enjoyable read but it didn't need the autobiography merged in.

A lot of Scott Adams' books have been inciteful for me. They have given me a new view on the world. This book just felt like a response to his critics and was a painful listen.

Scott Adams is trying to help
Unfortunately for Scott the people who need this book most will never read it. I enjoy Scott and enjoyed this book. It's a manual on how to think and talk in a civilised way. Many international readers were raised in societies that have already evolved to that point but the book is interesting none the less. The book is peppered with numerous reminders of Scott's immense and diverse "talent stack" and qualifications. We hear how Scott has a degree in economics and an MBA almost as repetitively as we hear he is a trained hypnotist and the creator of Dilbert. Scott also takes every opportunity to sell his other books and his start up along the way too. Did I mention he is an expert in persuasion?
He just persuaded me to pay for an infomercial.

A must read
While he does go off on to topics I don’t think align with the rest of the book. There are still 100’s of nuggets to get you thinking about self improvement.
Well worth the read

The Slippery Slope Fallacy is not a fallacy!
Scott Adams helps you get out of the mental jail of bad thinking. If you think that doesn't concern you, it definitely concerns you!

Excellent book but the audio quality is TERRIBLE
Such a shame to ruin such a good book by compressing the hell out the audio so that Scott's voice is such lo-fidelity it's unpleasant to listen to.
