How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big - by Scott Adams

 

Scott Adams is the creator of the 'Dilbert' cartoon series. Before this world-wide phenomenon though, Adams is happy to admit the looong list of things he tried (and failed at) before eventually achieving success. Each failed attempt gave him a lesson, something he could take with him and apply to the next thing he tried. Even as Dilbert was growing in success, he still worked full time for 10 years, drawing Dilbert at 5am before work.

This book provides some important ideas and approaches for achieving (eventual) success. In this episode, we'll talk about: the downside of passion, goals VS systems, managing your attitude and energy, prioritising and making decisions, and 'skill stacking'.
