About How to Fail at Almost Anything

Written by Scott Adams, creator of the snarky Dilbert comics, How to Fail at Almost Anything and Still Win Big is part how-to book, part litany of failures that turned into success.

Adams celebrates failure as a stepping stone to success, and exposes many ways he failed over the course of his professional life and how all of that failing led to his eventual massive success as a professional cartoonist.
