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.
