As someone who’s worked in tech for years, I’ve long been a fan of the Dilbert Comics by Scott Adams. So many of the absurdities of office life that I’ve experienced in my sales career are captured so perfectly. In the past few years Adams has emerged as a major figure in the political space due to his prediction that Donald Trump would win the 2016 Presidential Election. In addition to his comics I’m a huge fan of his book How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big. In the book Adams tells his life story with great emphasis on the tools he’s used to become a successful cartoonist and entrepreneur. Like you would expect from the guy who gave us Dilbert, it’s a pretty funny book, but also very inspiring as he details his determination to overcome some serious health obstacles while starting several companies.
