Review of 'Loserthink' on 'Goodreads'

The unpleasantly superior way Adams writes makes this hard to read. The title gives you a hint - people who don't think like he does are losers. No thanks.

He clearly thinks he's the smartest guy in the room, and according to his lights, I guess he is. But there are many different kinds of intelligence and he's missing out on kindness. He needs to add a section to all those "think like an engineer, economist, entreprenueur". I suggest he call it "think like a person who doesn't think he's better than everyone else".

I loved his other books, especially the one on systems vs. goals. But this one's smirking superiority make it unpleasant.

Gave up.
