The international bestseller.
‘A clear, provocative guide to thinking more freely‘ – Christine Gross-Loh, bestselling author of The Path
Stop living on autopilot and take back control of your own mind.
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. 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.
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.
MEDIA REVIEWS
A clear, provocative guide to thinking more freely, How Not to Be Stupid explores the myriad ways we can get stuck without realizing it – through fear, habits, language and conformity – and offers instead a path to curiosity, clarity and liberation - Christine Gross-Loh, bestselling author of The Path
Read this deeply unconventional book and you will start to get unstuck - Dana Mackenzie, co-author of The Book of Why
Sibaldi shows that stupidity is not the opposite of intelligence – it's the opposite of freedom. His twelve 'functions' map the hidden ways we get stuck: in borrowed words, borrowed authority, borrowed desires. This book is a quiet provocation disguised as a self-help guide, and it deserves a wide readership - Luke Burgis, author of Wanting
How Not To Be Stupid : The Transformative Power of Independent Thinking
€11.90
Igor Sibaldi’s book argues that stupidity isn’t about low intelligence but about failing to think beyond social norms. He shows how people slip into automatic, unexamined behaviour and offers twelve areas — from communication to fear to money — where we can learn to challenge our assumptions and reclaim control of our minds.
With wit, irony, and insights drawn from psychology, theology, and history, the book becomes a practical toolkit for navigating modern life’s chaos. It encourages readers to break out of autopilot, confront their biases, and turn obstacles into opportunities.
