Dilbert and the Way of the Weasel: A Guide to Outwitting Your Boss, Your Coworkers, and the Other Pants-Wearing Ferrets in Your Life

Are you surrounded by weasels? So is Dilbert. Here is his guide to how you can outwit even the best of them.

In this national bestseller, Scott Adams looks into work, home, and everyday life, exposing the devious weasel-like ways of people around us -- bosses, coworkers, contractors, stockbrokers, politicians, and others -- and offers hilarious ways of triumphing over each and every one of them.

With appearances from all of 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.

5This Book Is Too True To Be Funny  Apr 07, 2009
I want to write something humorous, so I took this book out of my library to see how a successful humorist does it. I am shocked to discover that another human being experiences the same problems that my wife and I experience. This book mentions most of the horrible, time-wasting, day-to-day experiences that we all have to endure... and he explains it all in easily-understandable terms. Of course it's also very funny; if you don't mind laughing at your own expense. This book is disturbing... because it is all so true. This book should be required reading in high school as a way of preparing students for the terrible world that awaits them. The cartoons are expertly sprinkled throughout. And the real letters written to the author revealing real work-place foibles are priceless. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

5One of the best  Sep 01, 2008
This is one of the funniest of all the Dilbert books, and very possibly THE funniest of those that are not strictly comics, but have commentary by Adams only intermittently illustrated by comic strips. Entertaining as Adams' cartoons are, he is at least as entertaining as an actual writer.

5Humor with a serious side because it describes what so many people must endure in their jobs  Aug 31, 2008
When it comes to lampooning the management class of American business, no one does it better than Scott Adams. Of course, he has an inexhaustible source of material, as there seems to be no end to the number of stupid ways in which management can execute what should be simple and routine tasks.
In this book, Adams casts his jaundiced eye across the entire enterprise, including the employees down to the janitors in describing how people engage in "way of the weasel" behaviors. This term refers to the truly imaginative ways people will avoid work and the responsibility for what work they have done. It is as ironically amusing as the other books in his collection and has the same organization. Cartoons from the Dilbert strip are interspersed with text and incidents reported by Adam's contacts in business.
If it were not for humor, life would be much harder; especially what life we have at work. Dilbert provides much of the necessary comic relief, when the environment at your job has got you down, a heavy dose of Dilbert will serve to make it all seem better. Or at least make you realize that it could be worse.


5Serious management stuff here!  Apr 19, 2008
OK, silly cartoons in a flyweight "management" book hardly seems the stuff of classic, but the cartoons are pointed illustrations of serious (really!) but not overwrought commentary about the way we work and live (really!).

2Nothing new to say?  Dec 27, 2006
After doing a pretty good to great job in The Dilbert Principle and The Dilbert Future and an ok job in Joy of Work Adams stumbles here with Way of the Weasel.

The strips are as funny as ever, but you'll have seen them before in the strip compilations and the daily paper. The trouble is that where he had actual insight, philosphy and something to say in his previous books he doesn't here. We either have the same old saws about management cleverly called "Management Weasels" as if it were new insights or what comes down to prose versions of the strips. The actual strips themselves are better than the prose versions.

The book does have its moments. But the start is fairly bad and you'll spend a lot of time thinking "Why am I reading this."

However if you have missed his previous Dilbert prose offerings you probably will enjoy this. If you have read Principle, Future and Joy of Work then you can safely give this a pass. You've seen it before!
