[Link] Scott Adams' The Persuasion Reading List
Scott Adams' apparently has a his own version of the sequences and even has structured it into steps that bridge the inferential gap to the points he wants to get across. I notice that there is some self-promotion but overall it seems like a sensible list. What do you think?
The list is quite long. There probably no good reason to simply read every book on Scotts list.
As a person who has hypnosis training this sentiments seems very strange to me. You don't choose books based on the title. Erickson was a great hypnotist but that doesn't make anybody who claims to follow his methods to be knowledgeable.
The list also contains books where Scott explictely menitons that he hasn't read them. That's not a good basis for book recomendations.
Considering he claims a 98% probability of Donald Trump becoming the next US President, I'll bother paying attention to what he says to say if/when that turned out to be accurate.
