Rating: Summary: There's Some Good Stuff, But a Lot of Fluff Review: Scott Adams fourth Dilbert hardback book is not his best (the Dilbert Principle wins that one hands down). There are some very funny stories in the book, I was really howling at times. But there are times his humor misses the mark, such as his answer to Norman Solomon's anti-Dilbert book, which I thought came off as mean-spirited. Unfortunately, there are more misses than hits in this book. Scott Adams has brought joy in the workplace over the past five years with his dead-on humor about the corporate business world. It has also brought him many financial opportunities, of which he has taken advantage. I say more power to him, I'd do the same. But I'm starting to wonder whether he should stop writing these full-length books and instead create some more comic books with strips that are outside of those that are published in papers. He's done this before and I think that is where he can entertain more people in the future.
Rating: Summary: An Excellent Novel by the Master of Office Satire!! :) Review: Scott Adams, creator of the ever-popular office satire comic strip, Dilbert, purely demonstrates a humorous and fresh outlook on the sometimes absurd world of work. Full of tips on being creative and comedic, making office pranks, and many other tips on discovering workplace joy, this book is both histerical and intelligent. Although a few of the pranks cross the line, this book is relatable and incredibibly funny. I actually laughed aloud, something I rarely do when reading books. For more recommendations on Adams' novels, I recommend The Dilbert Principal, Dogbert's Top Secret Management Handbook, The Dilbert Future, and his first non-Dilbert book, God's Debris. :)
Rating: Summary: The Joy of Work: Dilbert's Guide to Finding Happiness at the Review: The Joy of Work: Dilbert's Guide to Finding Happiness at the Expense of Your Co-Workers by Scott Adams tells it as it is. There is nothing phony in this book. Everything he says is true. I worked for a library and belive my I have seen all the strange bosses that he describes in this funny book. 5/5.
Rating: Summary: Funny till the very end Review: There are many books that focuses on management techniques, finding happiness in your workplace and balancing life and work. Finally, we have a book that integrates all these elements into an easy read. If this is going to be your first book in management and professional growth, I suggest you take the principles lightly and enjoy the humourous side of it. For many of us who have read a little about management in the past, this book provides all the human insights to decisions and situations that are beyond our imagination. In other words, it has lots of funny suggestions...that might actually work to give you the kind of balance and happiness in the workplace. A "must read" for laughs, a "should read" for extra work-related insights, and a "good to read" for bringing some diversity to our reading palatte.
Rating: Summary: Two Words: Read It Review: This book is probably the funniest thing you will read in a long, long time. It is absolutely, incredibly, painfully funny, and it has some real tips thrown in for good measure. Any one who calls themselves a Dilbert Fan and/or has any sense of humor should get this book. As a DNRC member and a fan who has all Scott Adams' books, I can truly recommend this as one of his best to date.

Rating: Summary: Hilarious Book, Out Loud Laughter - From A New Dilbert Fan Review: This is one of the first Dilbert books I have read. I enjoyed the book and thought it was outright hilarious. It is a nice easy read to relax and you will be laughing out loud. I usually do not laugh out loud when I am reading books, but this book did it for me. There were two sections of the book that stood out to me. I especially liked the section on office pranks written in by readers of Dilbert to Scott Adams. Also particularly amusing is the instance where Adams pretends to be a consultant at Logitech. Read the book to see what happens. Not too surprising, but funny. Whether you are a longtime Dilbert fan or a newcomer to the Dilbert series, I would recommend this book for a quick and funny read. I have also read The Dilbert Principle, but I found this book much funnier.
Rating: Summary: Scott Adams does it again! Another winner! Review: This is one of the funniest books I have ever read. Scott Adams is a genius. I recommend this book to anyone who wants a good laugh.
Rating: Summary: Way Underrated Review: Thsis book was funny and true. Most of the people who criticized the second section probably didn't stop to think that Adams' humor formula actually works.
