How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big
A personal account of failure, useful combinations of skills, and the daily systems that make progress possible.
Rather than treating success as a straight path, Adams examines what can be learned from projects that go wrong. He discusses systems, energy and combinations of ordinary skills, connecting them to examples from his own life. This is the second edition, with the blue illustrated cover.
Why I kept it
I picked it up for its extremely good title.
Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert, published it in 2013. It is a personal account of failure, of combining useful skills, and of the daily systems that make progress possible.
Rather than treating success as a straight path, Adams looks at what can be learned from projects that go wrong, and connects systems, energy and combinations of ordinary skills to examples from his own life.
What stayed with me is the writing itself: Scott Adams is one hell of a storyteller and writer.
Author
Scott Adams created the comic strip Dilbert and wrote books about work, persuasion and personal effectiveness. In this memoir, episodes from his working life become a way to examine failure, useful skills and the habits that support progress.
