\Ah self-help books? I don't read those, so I'll pass.

Don't pass on them, they aren't 'self help' books like the ones you can imagine like for emotional or inner work. They're more about behavioral or systems based. They're as much self help books as some business books. His books have sattire, are witty, and just fun reads. His humor comes out in his books as well.

He wasn't an anti-vaxxer, he was actually pro vaccine and tried to convince his fanbase to get it. He eventually stopped and realized after new evidence came out that perhaps he shouldn't have taken it but always defended his decision of taking it at the time since with the information that was available at the time it was the best choice regardless of whatever info came out later.
He also wasn't racist, I wasn't going to mention it here but Scott Addams got a lot of bad rap from the liberal media. Even in his death the NYTs and People Magazine made snark remarks about him, truly despicable. I would hope if you really care to do research on who Scott really was and not just pidgeonhole people based on what the media tells me, or else you're no better than say Andrew just sticking to what "they" say is the narrative you should have for your political views. Scott Addams was very intelligent and loved one upping people and saying "gotcha" in the end through elaborate explanations, that clearly backfired big at one point since people just took what he said out of context but whatever, he lived with the consequences. |
