Synopsis

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.

While I consider myself a fan of things Nerdist, I found this book a chore to read and ultimately threw in the towel with about 20 pages left. Some of the reasons: * I actually didn't realize it was a self-help book when I picked it up. I don't ever read those. This one seemed better than most in tha......more

I've been obsessively listening to the Nerdist podcast for a couple of months now, and have loved the great discussions of craft (writing, acting, standup) that have happened with various guests inbetween the Doctor Who obsessiveness. So when I saw that Chris Hardwick had a book out, I picked it up......more

Goodreads review by Jakub on July 26, 2012

I like Chris Hardwick. I first found out about him from his articles in Wired, and I started listening to his podcast. He seems like a cool guy, and when I heard that he’d written a self-help book, I figured I’d give it a go. Since he is a self-described nerd, and he is building his “Nerdist” empire......more

Goodreads review by Mike on January 12, 2012

I didn't think it was possible. Nothing since school used to make me exercise has EVER made me exercise. This heady combination of humour, indefatigable optimism, and cursing is amazing. Or to use the vernacular: AMAZEBALLS. Chris Hardwick speaks exactly my language and I'd like to own this as an e-......more
