Advice Goddess Radio, LIVE Tonite, 7-8pm PT, 10-11pm ET: "Dilbert" Cartoonist Scott Adams On How To Fail Your Way To Success
Amy Alkon's Advice Goddess Radio: "Nerd Your Way To A Better Life!" with the best brains in therapy and research.
"Dilbert" cartoonist Scott Adams, obviously, is not a scientist. But he thinks and views his experiences like a scientist and his wisdom is well-supported and worth hearing.
For example, Adams found that it isn't goals that are the key to success, but what he calls "systems."
And Adams advises, based on his own steady stream of failures in business, that "Everything you want in life is in that bubbling vat of failure. The trick is to get the good stuff out."
As a cartoonist, he thinks of himself as a "professional simplifier." That's what he does in his just-published book, How To Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big, and simplifying for all of us what it takes to succeed in business and be happy in life is what he'll be doing on tonight's not-to-be-missed show.

Don't miss last week's show on how to think your way to behavioral change.
Science writer and bestselling author David DiSalvo returned to the show tonight to talk about how the brain operates via a series of "feedback loops," and to explain how we can actually redirect our thinking and influence our brain's response -- in turn influencing how we feel and act.
These insights come straight out of DiSalvo's just-published book, Brain Changer: How Harnessing Your Brain's Power to Adapt Can Change Your Life.
Drawing on the latest research in cognitive psychology, neuroscience, behavioral econ, and communications, DiSalvo replaces "self-help" with "science-help," and gives us practical steps to change our thinking and our lives.

A very good show.
Scott figured out what he wanted very early in life and went for it.
I had never knew him beyond the Dilbert strips. He was a fascinating guest.

I spent 28 years in police work, 20 years of it in supervision. Scott Adams kept me sane.
I was married for 35 years in total (twice divorced)
Amy Alkon kept me sane.
Thanks
