AN INSTANT BESTSELLER
The international bestselling author of The Art of Thinking Clearly returns to teach you the habits that the world's most successful people avoid - at all costs.
Just as some people collect vinyl, video game consoles or vintage clothes, for years Rolf Dobelli has been accumulating stories of failure - botched attempts at work, family life, marriage and life in general. Using information gleaned from some of the world's most innovative and curious minds, as well as from his own experience as a writer, businessman, entrepreneur and philosopher, Dobelli skilfully distils the 52 most important habits to avoid if you want to live a successful, and ultimately happy, life.
