Scott Adams admits that he has an instinct for getting into trouble. His sympathetic analysis of Donald Trump as Master Persuader has won him many fiercely loyal followers and some furious detractors. His advice on "how to succeed" (by expecting repeated failure) brusquely dismisses many standard platitudes ("Quit your day job!"). His fictional works debunking conventional views of religion have annoyed as many readers as they have entertained. His bleak depiction of daily life in the office cubicle made him the world's most popular cartoonist-and colored a whole generation of business management literature. Scott Adams is a provocative gadfly of popular culture, with a huge and diverse fan following. His work and his ideas are worth examining and criticizing-through the filter of philosophy. Book jacket.
