About Author-
Scott Adom is the creater of Dilbert Comic strips. The
author has faced lots of failures in his life and he used his failures as
climbing steps for reaching success. He has a unique answer to the big question
in the universe that is “How to achieve success?” I have read many books on this
similar subject but I never came across such a different approach and I became
a fan of this book.
Book Review-
This book is a kind of Unique
Guide for Success. This book will not give you a success formula but, will help
you to find out a pattern for yourself to obtain success. As we are aware about
the famous quote “failure is the first step of success”, In this book author
has mentioned his life failures and those are really a good lesson teachers for
all of us. It is better to learn from other’s mistake and gain some experience.
Being a start-up entrepreneur I have failed many times and even I am not afraid of
trying new things in my life, hence this book amuses me with fact that author
tried so many different things and failed until he finds his actual career
success.
In
this book author presents new ways about the process of finding happiness and
success. If you are at the stage of staring a journey towards success or you
are at the stage where you want to find out what wrong you have been doing until
now, then this book will surely give you some novel ideas. The author’s primary
success is a result of talent, luck and hard work but he pursued a conscious
strategy of managing his opportunities in a way that would make it easier for
luck to find him.

Six Filters for Truth From This Book
1. Personal Experience -" Human Perceptions are iffy".
2. Experts- "They work for money,not truth"
3. Experience of people you know- "Even more unreliable"
4. Common Sense-" A good way to be mistaken with complete confidence"
5. Scientific Studies- " Correlation is not causation"
6. Pattern Recognition-" Coincidence , personal bias,look alike"
To summarize this review I can
say that, this book is about “Failing towards Success”.
