The creator of Dilbert, the fastest–growing comic strip in the nation (syndicated in nearly 1000 newspapers), takes a look at corporate America in all its glorious lunacy. Lavishly illustrated with Dilbert strips, these hilarious essays on incompetent bosses, management fads, bewildering technological changes and so much more, will make anyone who has ever worked in an office laugh out loud in recognition.
The Dilbert Principle: The most ineffective workers will be systematically moved to the place where they can do the least damage 埭anagement.
Since 1989, Scott Adams has been illustrating this principle each day, lampooning the corporate world through Dilbert, his enormously popular comic strip. In Dilbert, the potato–shaped, abuse–absorbing hero of the strip, Adams has given voice to the millions of Americans buffeted by the many adversities of the workplace.
Now he takes the next step, attacking corporate culture head–on in this lighthearted series of essays. Packed with more than 100 hilarious cartoons, these 25 chapters explore the zeitgeist of ever–changing management trends, overbearing egos, management incompetence, bottomless bureaucracies, petrifying performance reviews, three–hour meetings, the confusion of the information superhighway and more. With sharp eyes, and an even sharper wit, Adams exposes –– and skewers –– the bizarre absurdities of everyday corporate life. Readers will be convinced that he must be spying on their bosses, The Dilbert Principle rings so true!

This is a book that in theory should be funny, but in fact is at best just mildly amusing but mostly just tedious. I would say that Scott is like the many other comedians and professional funny people in this endeavor. While they are good at what they do and are funny in their normal media, whether they are stand up comedians, cartoonists, comedy actors, or whatever, that doesn't mean they have the talent to pull off a funny book. Scott should stick with his three panel comics and enjoy that success. (show less)

I'm not a huge Dilbert fan. Maybe I started reading it too late, after it'd already become mainstream and expected. That's not Adams' fault, however. I found this book to be very funny and recommend it for a good laugh.

I must read this book again in 5 years just to keep my career on track. This fiction is more true than most.
