    The Tim Ferriss Show Transcripts Episode 106: Scott Adams Show notes and links at tim.blog/podcast Tim Ferriss: Could you tell me what you had for breakfast, please? Scott Adams: I had my usual coffee and protein bar while staring out the window and wishing I'd eaten more calories. Tim Ferriss: Hello, my heterogeneous sapiens, homicidal tomcats. That doesn’t make any sense. I was going to say homicidal Homo sapiens but heterogeneous, why don't we say heterogeneous, like erogenous sounds… I don’t know. This is Tim Ferriss. Welcome to the Tim Ferriss show. My job every episode is to deconstruct a world class performer and to show you how they do what they do. What are the favorite books, the routines, the habits? How did they achieve the success they’ve achieved? Whether they are chess prodigies like Josh Waitzkin, or actors like Arnold Schwarzenegger, director like John Favreau, comedians, athletes, hedge fund managers; we’ve got everybody, Startup impresarios like Peter Thiel, and so on. This time we have, by request, Scott Adams. Scott Adams is a very famous cartoonist. He’s the creator of the Dilbert comic strip and the author of several different books that are nonfiction. He and I had a very wide ranging conversation. We’ve met before, and we cover things such as his use of affirmations, written affirmations for the stock market, for success with women, for his career as a cartoonist. We talk about hypnosis, why he became interested in hypnosis, common misconceptions about hypnosis, and how he used different techniques or aspects of what he learned to make Dilbert popular.
