How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big
Kind of the Story of My Life
Scott Adams
Learn from the unusual life of a man who went from serial failure to creator of one of the world's most famous comic strips. In How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big, discover the strategy he's used since his teens to invite failure in, embrace it, and then pick its pocket. Through humor and personal storytelling, gain insights on how to turn one failure after another into something good and lasting. He reveals valuable truths, like goals are for losers and systems are for winners, and that a combination of mediocre skills can make you surprisingly valuable.
