Product Description

Is the world getting more stupid? This guide is written for anyone who feels that there is too much stupidity around us. It also explains why, in spite of massive technological advances to make us act 'smarter', the opposite seems to happen. While there are many books highlighting many different aspects of the absurdities of modern life, this is perhaps a first in providing practical help to do something about it. Whether you want to support 'Stupid Aid - to make stupid history', or just want to boost your flexible thinking, creativity and opportunity spotting skills, this is essential survival guide.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure genius, 12 Oct 2009

By	Richard Griffiths (Yorkshire, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Andy Green is the master of seeing things from a different angle. He points out the obvious, which before your eyes had glanced over the page, had been totally obscured from your consciousness.

This book will make you go 'Oh yeah, that's such a good point' on a regular basis and then you can't help but sit back and start to reassess your own decisions or approach to different situations. If you don't, then you are probably the subject on which the book is based... ;-)

By	The S Man "The S Man" (Newcastle, UK) - See all my reviews

Andy Green has come up with a brilliant diagnosis as to why stupid things happen in the world and gives us tools to help us rise above them. Delivered in bite=sized chunks with lashings of humour, this book should be read by anyone whose jaw has dropped at the latest Health and Safety lunacy, and especially by those who run our institutions and who therefore attempt to run our lives. The paradox of intelligent people doing stupid things in our name is now endemic - this book is a salvo in the first skirmish of the fightback!
