Interview Starts 46:45   Scott Adams joins us to chat about How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big, persuasion, and podcasting his periscope. Scott talks about the challenges he has overcome, how elastic our brains are, affirmations, confirmation bias, systems vs goals, some of our favorite books and much more.   We also chat about our subjective reality, our perceptions, the fact free world, the simulation, luck and coincidence, and the difference between the two main parties in US politics.   http://dilbert.com/    https://www.amazon.com/Scott-Adams/e/B000AP9MO0     In the intro the guys chat about a synchronicity with starting a Grimerica book club - two emails and a chat.
