Loserthink
How Untrained Brains Are Ruining America
Book • 2019
In 'Loserthink: How Untrained Brains Are Ruining America', Scott Adams explores the concept of 'loserthink', which refers to unproductive thinking habits that can trap individuals in their own biases and mental shortcuts.
The book draws from various disciplines such as psychology, history, business, and global affairs to help readers spot and avoid these mental barriers.
Adams provides practical advice on how to break free from these unproductive thought patterns, emphasizing the importance of logic, rationality, and objective decision-making.
He also introduces techniques like 'micro steps' to overcome overwhelming tasks and suggests rules like the '48-hour rule' and '20-year rule' for a calmer internet environment.
