First edition of this work which Kirkus called "vintage Watson: brash, bumptious, brilliant—and never boring.” Octavo, original half cloth, illustrated. Signed by James D. Watson on the title page. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Darren Haggar.
In Avoid Boring People, Watson lays down a life’s wisdom for getting ahead in a competitive world. Witty and uncompromisingly honest, he shares his thoughts on how young scientists should choose the projects that will shape their careers, the supreme importance of collegiality, and dealing with competitors within the same institution. It’s an irreverent romp through Watson’s colorful career and an indispensable guide to anyone interested in nurturing the life of the mind. “Watson is both a scientific genius and a larger-than-life personality. . . . If you want to learn how science gets done in the real world . . . Watson makes for a wonderful guide" (The Boston Globe).
