Book Review: The Dilbert Principle by Scott Adams

Bitter and cynical as ever, Scott Adams' book is peppered with unintentionally funny occurrences that are all too familiar if you work in a large organization. Somebody once told me that reading too much Scott Adams is bad for your brain, as it will end up making you cynical - it will make you call out the bluff, figure out the hidden meaning of otherwise perfectly innocuous sounding management phrases and words. (Can't say it didn't happen to me.) The book itself is decently funny though in places it does seem that Adams is trying too hard and his jokes become a tad repetitive.  

However, the one thing I realized after (and while) reading the book was that there is a law of diminishing funniness with Adams' books... Mostly because he ends up recycling some old jokes and cartoons. So if you have read one, that's almost the entirety of what Adams has to say about our unintentionally funny corporate culture(s).
