How Not to Be Stupid: The Transformative Power of Independent Thinking, (Paperback)

<p><b>The international bestseller. </b></p><p><b>'A clear, provocative guide to thinking more freely' - Christine Gross-Loh, bestselling author of <i>The Path</i> </b></p><p><b>Stop living on autopilot and take back control of your own mind.</b> </p><p>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. </p><p>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. Through twelve core areas of the human experience - including communication, wealth and overcoming fears - he uses wit and irony to help you arm yourself against stupidity, challenge your biases and turn obstacles into opportunities. </p><p><b>Examining some of the most influential ideas from psychology, theology and history in engaging, bitesize chapters, this is an essential toolkit for navigating the chaos of modern life.</b></p>
