SCOTT ADAMS – LOSERTHINK HOW UNTRAINED BRAINS ARE RUINING AMERICA

The victims are trapped in their own bubbles of reality.

A lot of dumb ideas are floating around on social media and TV.

We know when history will repeat and when it won’t. There is a difference between evidence and coincidences. The simplest explanation is usually correct.

Wrong, wrong, and dangerous!

If we are not careful, loserthink would have us believe that every Trump supporter is a racist, and that your relationship fell apart because you chewed with your mouth open.

The smartest people can get caught up in loserthink. This book will teach you how to spot and avoid it, and will give you a way to respond when hollow arguments are being brandished against you, whether by well-intentioned friends, strangers on the internet, or political pundits. You will learn how to spot the underlying causes of loserthink, like the inability to get ego out of your decisions, thinking with words instead of reasons, and making too much of coincidences.

It doesn’t have to be a prison to have a bubble of reality. The book will show you how to break free and how to be one of the most perceptive and respected thinkers.

You are most likely trapped in a mental prison without knowing it. Scott Adams, the world-famous creator of Dilbert and New York Times bestselling author of Win Bigly, teaches us how to recognize and avoid the loserthink that prevents us from seeing outside our own bubbles of reality. Since we haven’t been exposed to the best thinking practices in every discipline, even the smartest and most educated can slip into loserthink. People who see the world through different filters include psychologists, engineers, scientists, entrepreneurs, historians, and artists. We are likely to fall into loserthink if we don’t understand the basics of those filters. Some signs you have succumbed to loserthink include: inability to get your ego out of your decisions, thinking with words instead of reasons, trusting your preferred news sources, and making too much of coincidences. It is easy to feel miserable, defensive, anxious, poor, and sick because of the constant stream of notifications on your phone and social media feeds. Adams offers a cure for loserthink by teaching you the most productive thinking practices from a variety of disciplines. You will learn how to break out of a mental prison in this book. It doesn’t have to be a prison to have a bubble of reality. The book will show you how to break free.
