In The Not To Do List, Rolf Dobelli flips traditional self-help on its head by offering 52 tongue-in-cheek “anti-advice” habits—each one designed to lead you astray—from chronic overcommitment to emotional self-sabotage. With sharp wit and the inversion method inspired by Charlie Munger’s famed “How to Guarantee a Life of Misery” speech, he first illustrates what not to do and then reveals a wiser path forward. Each chapter mixes playful sarcasm with piercing insight, urging readers to question harmful routines and prioritize what truly matters. The result is a practical, refreshingly honest guide to living better by doing less and avoiding common pitfalls. It’s a clever, readable manifesto for anyone seeking clarity amid the noise.
