Functional stupidity can be catastrophic. It can cause organisational collapse, financial meltdown and technical disaster. And there are countless, more everyday examples of organisations accepting the dubious, the absurd and the downright idiotic, from unsustainable management fads to the cult of leadership or an over-reliance on brand and image. And yet a dose of stupidity can be useful and produce good, short-term results: it can nurture harmony, encourage people to get on with the job and drive success. This is the stupidity paradox. The Stupidity Paradox tackles head-on the pros and cons of functional stupidity. You'll discover what makes a workplace mindless, why being stupid might be a good thing in the short term but a disaster in the longer term, and how to make your workplace a little less stupid by challenging thoughtless conformity. It shows how harmony and action in the workplace can be balanced with a culture of questioning and challenge. The book is a wake-up call for smart organisations and smarter people. It encourages us to use our intelligence fully for the sake of personal satisfaction, organisational success and the flourishing of society as a whole.

The Greeks honored Zeus, the Romans revered Juno, but modern civilization worships a different sort of god: Celebrity. Face it, we follow the stars’ every move, fashion choice, and deliciously dishy affairs. Now Kathryn Petras and Ross Petras, authors of Unusually Stupid Americans, pull the demanding divas, screwball stars, and celebu-twits off their pedestals–and prove it doesn’t take a degree in rocket science to become famous. Cases in point: • Courtney Love misses an important court date relating to “possession of a controlled substance” because she can’t find a professional bodyguard at the last minute. • Mariah Carey’s entourage includes a skirt-from-touching-floor specialist, a towel hand-off person, and a professional drink holder/lifter. • Savvy traveler Paris Hilton concludes that all of Europe is, “like, French.” • Mensa candidate and rocker Tommy Lee is pretty sure that Winston Churchill was president during the Civil War, that the numeric equivalent of pi is “the two-equals-MC-squared thing,” and that an isosceles triangle is “somewhere in Bermuda.” Feuds, faith, family, money, sex, tantrums, travel–no star-studded stone is left unturned. Filled with jaw-dropping anecdotes, quirky quotes, and special stupid-celebrity awards, Unusually Stupid Celebrities provides a red-faced glimpse of the red carpet.

LONGLISTED FOR THE RATHBONES FOLIO PRIZE 2021 'One of the year's funniest books' i Paper 'Funny, smart, soulful and sometimes devastating ... It made me laugh and cry' EMILIE PINE, author of Notes to Self _______________ Patrick Freyne has tried a lot of stupid ideas in his life. Now, he is here to tell you about them: like the time (aged 5) he opened a gate and let a horse out of its field, just to see what would happen; or the time (aged 19) he jumped out of a plane for charity, even though he didn't much care about the charity and was sure he'd end up dead; or the time (aged old enough to know better) he used a magazine as a funnel for fuel when the petrol cap on his band's van broke. He has also learned a few things: about the power of group song; about the beauty of physically caring for another human being; about childlessness; about losing friends far too young. Life as seen through the eyes of Patrick Freyne is stranger, funnier and a lot more interesting than life as we generally know it. Like David Sedaris or Nora Ephron, he creates an environment all his own - fundamentally comic, sometimes moving, always deeply humane. OK, Let's Do Your Stupid Idea is a joyous reading experience from an instantly essential new writer. ______________ 'Patrick Freyne is a comic genius' MARIAN KEYES 'Clever, lovely and great, great fun' RODDY DOYLE 'Funny and adorable' NINA STIBBE 'The most gorgeous and heartbreaking book about humans and why we need each other' DAISY BUCHANAN 'Hilariously, painfully, Freynefully brilliant' JOSEPH O'CONNOR 'Wonderful ... One of my books of the year' RYAN TUBRIDY 'Full of humour and tenderness, this book is an absolute JOY' SINÉAD GLEESON 'F*cking fantastic. Patrick is a brilliant writer' BLINDBOY BOATCLUB 'A cracking, sad, funny, honest, brave and hilarious read' LIZ NUGENT 'Guffaw-out-loud funny' Business Post 'A writer of rare humour, depth, and humanity. These essays are a delight' MARK O'CONNELL, author of To Be a Machine 'Goosebumps! Guffaws! It's got it all. I love this book' DOIREANN NÍ GHRÍOFA

This book is named after the exhausted workers, who return home hungry and sleep in hunger to restart the next days routine, in whose books the term holiday does not exists. This book is not named after kings, monarchs, nobles, intellectuals, and the rich and affluent, instead it is named after the daughters who are abused, womenfolk who are molested, and for their children who are kidnapped for ransom, which they do not have. This book is named after those married women who are married for the names sake, whose bodies are presented for decorations but are still living a life of ignored, neglected, dejected vagabonds; whose sobs are unheard, are liked fallen cracked leaves being crumpled further by passersby, and whose lives are dark, cold, and moist.

Discover meaningful and entertaining ways to connect with teens. Explained through the lens of a veteran high school teacher, the analogies in this text offer a unique perspective on the lives of young adults. They illustrate both who they are and why they are that way. Getting teenagers to realize they are not who they’re gonna be yet is only half the struggle of the current generation of adults on this planet. More importantly, the revelations within these sections offer a glimpse of who we can all become as human beings. Therein is the rest of our challenge. How do we get the next generation of adults to understand where we’ve been, why now looks like it does, and where they’re headed? First, they must understand their capabilities beyond what’s right in front of them—something they’re simply not used to fathoming. The messages and answers can be inspirational, comical, and motivational. Indeed, Small, Slow, and Stupid is an important life perspective for all high school teachers to both consider and share.

The choices women make during the critical years of adolescence and early adulthood often have life-long consequences. Image, "likes," and Insta-fame reign in Western culture, and scarcely can a woman escape the drift of stupidity unless she is prepared to fight. Her weapon? Wisdom. Not a list of do's and don'ts... but clear, guiding principles that can be applied in the most desperate situations to preserve a young woman's destiny.Through tragic and inspiring real-life stories, Sarah Siegand paints a vivid picture of the consequences choices bring, while boldly offering truth and perspective to bring readers to a place of decision. With vulnerability and humor, Siegand beckons young women, and those who lead them, to discover purpose and redemption through Christ. Written in a format perfect for small groups and mentoring relationships, Smart Girl, Stupid World is a daring call to wisdom for an emerging generation.

Rock star Sting wanted to tell his German audience he was hot on stage. 'Ich bin warm,' he told them, which unfortunately translated as, 'I am gay.' Foolish Words- a book that could easily be re-titled I Wish I Hadn't Said That- takes a huge variety of gaffes, blunders, and faux pascommitted by those in the public gaze who cannot escape the permanent record of note pads, radio microphones, and TV cameras. From hapless lawyers caught in the act of strangling common sense, to inept businessmen predicting that small computers won't sell, to bungling politicians suffering from foot-in-mouth disease, all spoken blunders are here. Prince Phillip re-defines the meaning of a diplomatic visit with his views on tribal rituals, native painting, and Chinese culture. Foolish Wordsis a wickedly funny collection of the very worst uses of the English language by those in the public eye who really should know better.

Fifth-grader Patrick can’t read, but when the new girl next door encourages him to overcome his fears and try, he starts believing he isn’t so stupid after all Patrick Lowe has always loved imagining his own fantastic stories of brave knights and dragons. Unfortunately, every time he tries to read, his father’s voice pops up in his head telling him he’s stupid, and the words on the page suddenly become too blurry to see. By his fifth grade year, Patrick has stopped trying to read altogether. He doesn’t think he needs any friends, but his new next-door neighbor Celina just won’t leave him alone. As Patrick and Celina slowly become friends, Celina starts reading The Sword and the Stone to him every afternoon. Patrick is entranced by this mythical world of white knights and vicious beasts, magic and adventure, but no matter how hard he tries, he himself still cannot read. But when Celina betrays his trust, Patrick finds himself betting to the class bully that he can read a story to the entire school. Patrick is determined to show everyone that he’s no dummy, but can he get past his own fears and finally learn to read?
