Rolf Dobelli (born July 15, 1966 in Luzern, Switzerland〔http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/695505.Rolf_Dobelli〕) is a Swiss author and businessman. He began his writing career as a novelist in 2002, but he is best known internationally for his bestselling non-fiction ''The Art of Thinking Clearly'' (2011, English 2013), for which The Times has called him "the self-help guru the Germans love".〔(The Times, June 2013 )〕 Born in 1966 in Lucerne, Switzerland, he obtained an MBA in 1991 from the University of St. Gallen and a PhD in economic philosophy in 1995. In 1999, he co-founded getAbstract, a publisher of book summaries and article abstracts. In 2003, Diogenes Publisher (Switzerland) published his first novel, ''Fünfunddreissig'' ("Thirty-five"), followed by ''Und was machen Sie beruflich?'' ("And What Do You Do for a Living?") in 2004, ''Himmelreich'' in 2006, ''Wer bin ich?'' ("Who am I?") and ''Turbulenzen'' ("Turbulence") in 2007 and ''Massimo Marini'' in 2010. The major themes in Dobelli's novels are the meaning of success and the role of randomness in business and in life. Dobelli is the author of ''The Art of Thinking Clearly'' (''Die Kunst des klaren Denkens''), originally published by Carl Hanser Verlag in 2011, which was an instant success, entering Germany's Der Spiegel Bestseller list as number 1.〔(Der Spiegel Bestseller List, 12 Jan 2012 )〕 It was the bestselling non-fiction book in Germany and Switzerland in 2012.〔Der Spiegel print edition 1/2013 p. 121〕 It was translated into English in 2013 and hit the top ten bestseller lists in the U.K,〔The Times bestseller list hardback non-fiction, 21 April 2013〕〔The Sunday Times bestseller list 7 July 2013 (rank number 4)〕 South Korea, India,〔(book retailer's bestseller list June 2013 )〕 Ireland,〔(Writing.IE Bestseller List, 14 June 2013 )〕 Hong Kong and Singapore.〔The Straits Times bestseller list non-fiction, 28 April 2013〕 ''The Art of Thinking Clearly'' was attacked by Nassim Taleb and Christopher Chabris for plagiarism.〔Guido Kalberer, ( Nassim Taleb attackiert Rolf Dobelli ), Tages-Anzeiger, 12 September 2013.〕〔()〕 See reference 〔 ()〕 for Dobelli's response. Christopher Chabris has published an example in Dobelli's book that is referenced but does not have quotation marks, and four paragraphs in the notes/references section (unprinted in most editions) without the formally required proper credit. Dobelli acknowledged those errors and they will be fixed.〔() ()〕 Dobelli advises to "avoid news consumption" an idea he initially attributed to Nassim Taleb but later claimed to be his own.〔Guardian (News is bad for you – and giving up reading it will make you happier ) print and online edition of 13 April 2013〕 He cites "fifteen reasons to avoid news" in a 2013 blog post.〔("All in the Mind" on BBC Radio 30 April 2013, starting at 15:00 min ). (Why you should stay away from news - published online ). The Huffington Post .
