How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big: Kind of the Story of My Life

Scott Adams

The World's Most Influential Book on Personal Success

The bestselling classic that made Systems Over Goals, Talent Stacking, and Passion Is Overrated universal success advice has been reborn.

Once in a generation, a book revolutionizes its category and becomes the preeminent reference that all subsequent books on the topic must pay homage to, in name or in spirit.

How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big by Scott Adams, creator of Dilbert, is such a book for the field of personal success.

A contrarian pundit and persuasion expert in a class of his own, Adams has reached hundreds of millions directly and indirectly through the 2013 first edition's straightforward yet counterintuitive advice-to invite failure in, embrace it, then pick its pocket.

The second edition of How to Fail is a tighter, updated version, by popular demand. Yet new and returning readers alike will find the same candor, humor, and timeless wisdom on productivity, career growth, health and fitness, and entrepreneurial success as the original classic.

How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big, Second Edition is the essential read (or re-read) for anyone who wants to find a unique path to personal victory-and make luck find you in whatever you do.

Praise for this book

Unsolicited 5-Star Reviews from Real People

Game-changer with humble perspectives.

"I LOVE what Scott has done here! Some of my favorite takeaways: systems instead of goals, his stoic approach to failure and learning, and the habit of pattern recognition and developing new skills to add to your arsenal. I've read two dozen books this year so far, mostly in the business, success, and self-help realm-all of these are bestsellers on Amazon/Audible-and this one is hands down one of the top five. Worth every penny. Buy two and give one away!"

Build your talent stack.

"This is my favorite Scott Adams book. I recommend it to my counseling clients for practical and concrete suggestions for moving forward in life using systems instead of goals. Scott is funny and honest. Great self-help book!"

Life strategies we should have been taught.

"I am just now shipping this book to my eighth grandchild, soon to be graduating from college. In other words, I am sending her the most important success book-life or career-in the twenty-first century."

Love this book. Buying it for my children, nieces, and nephews.

"This book provides great advice. I'm buying it for two of my nieces right now and telling them that there will be a reward if they finish it."

So good I bought it twice!

"This is an excellent book, one of the few I have read multiple times."
