From bestselling author and speaker, Igor Sibaldi, this is a radical new approach to understanding stupidity.
We are surrounded by stupidity. Yet we rarely ask what it really means or where it comes from. If we can identify that someone else is stupid, there’s a good chance that we are not. That’s enough for most people.
In this provocative exploration of human behaviour, philosopher and bestselling author Igor Sibaldi argues that stupidity is not a lack of intelligence, but an inability to look beyond social norms and think for ourselves. He examines twelve core spheres of life – including everyday communication, wealth, work and setting goals – and uses wit and irony to help you arm yourself against stupidity in each.
An essential toolkit if you’re tired of living on autopilot, How Not To Be Stupid delves into how psychology, religion, history and culture influence your perception of yourself and your place in society.
Challenge your biases, turn obstacles into opportunities and take back control.
