Publisher Description
Nerds: Once a tormented subrace of humans... Now captains of industry! You don’t have to be a stereotypical geekwad to appreciate the tenets of Nerdism and to make your innate talents for overanalysis and hyper-self-awareness work for you instead of against you. Join Nerd superstar Chris Hardwick as he offers his fellow “creative-obsessives” the crucial information needed to come out on top in the current Nerd uprising.
Nerds subsist on the minutiae of their chosen passions. As a lifelong member of “The Nerd Herd,” as he calls it, Chris Hardwick has learned all there is to know about Nerds. He’s studied them, lived with them, and has endeavored to milk their knowledge nectar and isolate its curative powers for what ails you. Thus, he has founded a philosophical system (and blog) called The Nerdist, and here he shares his hard-earned wisdom about turning seeming weaknesses into world-dominating strengths. From keeping your heart rate below hummingbird levels to managing the avalanche of sadness that is your inbox, from ignoring your brain to attracting wealth by turning down work, Hardwick reveals the secrets that can help you accomplish what you want by tapping into your true nerdtastic self. The Nerdist Way shows how to focus your mind, body, and time into an unstoppable laser of goodness. Don’t wait for another social tragedy. Don’t resort to cheap “mass murder” tactics to exact your revenge on society. Success is the most satisfying - and legal - form of vengeance there is. And you can achieve it when you follow the Nerdist Way.

You may notice that Chris Hardwick is offering his closed fist on the cover of this super-awesome book. This si because he probably doesn't have the time to fist-bump all the people he's helping with this book. I've had this book for a little over a year now and I've come back to it again and again. Each time, I internalize something new and my life gets a little better. I'm not saying that I'm a sexy millionaire floating in sex all the time, but I haven't rolled up into a fear-ball when the crediters call. (Mostly because they don't anymore. I thought they liked me for my personality, but they just wanted money.) If you read this book and internalize what it has to say, you will find yourself, at least, slightly better, happier, and/or more productive.
Awesomeness
I can't recommend this highly enough. Its extremely hilarious, informative, and inspirational. Chris provides a unique voice and approach that resonated with me much more then any author in the area of self improvement. If you are the type who is extremely tough on yourself and tend to focus intensely on one thing and analyze it to death, often at the expense of getting anything significant done, then this book will change your life.
From one nerd to another
Since I listen to just the first part of this book, I have changed my life for the better. I'm now in line to finish college. This book is in 3 parts. Mind, Body, & Time. By focusing on these things I have become a better me.
Think of buying this book as an investment in a better you. If you like sci-fi and RPGs it has that too.
