Publisher Description
Nerd superstar Chris Hardwick offers his fellow "creative obsessives" crucial information needed to come out on top in the current Nerd uprising.
As a lifelong member of "The Nerd Herd," as he calls it, Chris Hardwick has learned all there is to know about Nerds. Developing a system, blog, and podcasts, Hardwick shares hard-earned wisdom about turning seeming weakness into world-dominating strengths in the hilarious self-help book, The Nerdist Way.
From keeping their heart rate below hummingbird levels to managing the avalanche of sadness that is their in-boxes; from becoming evil geniuses to attracting wealth by turning down work, Hardwick reveals the secrets that can help readers achieve their goals by tapping into their true nerdtastic selves.
Here Nerds will learn how to:
Become their own time cop Tell panic attacks to go suck it Use incremental fitness to ward off predators
A Nerd's brain is a laser-it's time they learn to point and fire!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Readers familiar with Hardwick s gig years ago on MTV s Singled Out and his work more recently on Nerdist.com and G4TV s Web Soup might appreciate this effort at self-help for the masses. He wants to get people to know more about who are, why should be comfortable with that, and how to leverage those attributes into getting the things want Oh, and achieving happiness. That s kind of a big one, too. Those new to Hardwick s world, however, will neither be impressed with what he says or how he says it: the narrative is not compelling, and he tends to ramble. Discussion is divided into three broad categories: mind, body, and time. Chapters cover workout routines, healthy eating, and amusing cartoon bears weightlifting and stretching. Sections on time management and personal finance are similarly superficial. A personality-driven endeavor aimed at a built-in audience, his recommendations are straightforward without offering anything new or profound. Agency: Foundry

BEST BOOK I HAVE BOUGHT IN A WHILE
I could not wait to get this book. Barley started it and I put it next to Steve Martins 'Born Standing Up' and Simon Peggs 'Nerd Do Well'. So far it is a great read and I think it will only get better. Thank you Chris for being who you are and helping others with this funny and helpful book!
AWESOME
Awesome book. Read first few pages and was stuck in it already...
Recommend this to all types of nerds!
Charming and funny
Love him, loved this! I found this book to be smart, organized sweet and funny. It's almost too perfect...thank goodness there is all the excited capitalization to remind us all how jazzed Chris Hardwick is to be speaking to his people. In fact I can imagine him jazz handing while taking writing breaks he is so passionate about nerds. Thank you for writing this for all of us who feel like "it's just me".
