Loserthink: How Untrained Brains Are Ruining America, 2nd Ed (Scott Adams)
Friday, 26 September 2025

From the creator of Dilbert, this is an updated second edition of Scott Adam's guidebook to spotting and avoiding loserthink - the  sneaky mental habits trapping victims in their own bubbles of reality. The premise of the book is that if you've been on social media lately, or turned on your TV, you may have noticed a lot of dumb ideas floating around, such as "We can tell the difference between evidence and coincidences," and "The simplest explanation is usually true."

Adams puts forward ways to spot the underlying causes of loserthink, like the inability to get ego out of your decisions, thinking with words instead of reasons, failing to imagine alternative explanations, and making too much of coincidences.
