'Funny, apt - relentless' Financial Times 'It would be unwise to bet against The Way of the Weasel' Economist


Product Description

In this new mass-market format, Sunday Times best-selling author Scott Adams presents an outrageous look at work, home, and everyday life in. Building on Dilbert's theory that "All people are idiots," Adams now says, “they are also weasels." Just ask anyone who worked at Enron.

In this book, Adams takes a look into the Weasel Zone, the giant grey area between good moral behaviour and outright criminality. In the Weasel Zone, where most people reside, everything is misleading but not exactly a lie. Building on his hugely popular comic strip, Adams looks into work, home, and everyday life and exposes the weasel in everyone. With appearances from all the regular comic strip characters, Adams and Dilbert are at the top of their game - master satirists who expose the truth while making us laugh our heads off.

4.0 out of 5 stars Familiar Territory, 1 Nov 2002
This review is from: Dilbert:The Way of the Weasel (Hardcover)
If you love Dilbert, then here's another gem for your collection. If you're new to Dilbert, then here's as good a place to start as any.

Billed as the evolution of the Dilbert Principal, the book reworks the same formula (hence just the four star review), with Scott Adams as tongue-in-cheek and insightful as ever.

To those who have worked in corporates, then it's all eerily true. Some parts of the book will make you feel very uncomfortable as you recognise your own traits, and others will make you laugh out loud as you recognise those of your bosses and colleagues. If this is unfamiliar territory for you, then believe me, this is what it's like to work in a large office, especially in the hi-tech industry.

On a serious note, Dilbert is the antidote to all management training. Make sure you read it before your next course so that your cynicism tanks are full. If nothing else, you'll be primed with examples of all the faults that the management gurus are trying to pick out.

Of course Dilbert is really just about fun. Club together with fellow team-mates and buy it for your boss for Christmas. Watch as your boss's initial delight turns to paranoia as he/she wonders if you're trying to tell them something. The average PHB (buy the book to find out what it means) will be distracted for months trying to figure this out.

4.0 out of 5 stars Classic Dilbert, 25 Nov 2002
This review is from: Dilbert:The Way of the Weasel (Hardcover)
Adams expands slightly on his previous 'theories' about the behaviour of employees, bosses and consultants that work for large companies. It is still as witty and cynical a view as in previous books. Everyone will recognise at least some of the situations and characters in their own organisation.

However, no matter how funny the situations or insightful the comments, I didn't find the book as fresh and new as the earlier ones. Being a Dilbert fan I had seen most of it before, hence only 4 stars for this book. Perhaps he could have made more of the recent financial 'irregularities' in the business world, which are begging to be commented on.

Having said that, I thoroughly enjoyed the book, sometimes just smiling and other times bursting out in laughter.

In summary, I can only give it a qualified recommendation. It is as good an introduction to Dilbert and his world as any of the other books. For Dilbert fans, not a must have. Is Scott Adams running out of new things to say? Maybe.

4.0 out of 5 stars Give the Nobel Prize to Scott Adams!, 24 Dec 2002
By Simon Laub (Aarhus, Denmark, Europe) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Dilbert:The Way of the Weasel (Hardcover)
As the workplace is getting increasingly weasel
infested Scott Adams should get the Nobel prize
in economics!
Seriously, what did Milton Friedman do for our
understanding of the economy that Adams
hasn't been doing better?

Scott Adams distills the behavior of people.
People that weasels to get out of work,
get more pay, or avoid responsibility.
And fortunately his revelations are pretty hilarious.

Simply, Scott Adams' "Dilbert and the way of the Weasel".
is a terrific book about the Weasel zone.
The place where our gross national product is
generated....

-Simon
