How To Live With An Idiot: Clueless Creatures And The People Who Love Them

Rating:
Summary: Please look in the mirror
Review: Although the title is kind of jarring, the tactics behind Dr. John's humor are the real deal. It helped me to be reminded that my inner idiot is all too familiar with the inner workings of anybody else I'm tempted to call an idiot. If you think you must suffer fools everywhere you look, be sure to look in the mirror first. I'm proud to be a recovering idiot. And the significant idiots in my life appreciate it, too."

Summary: Who's your idiot
Review: Is your significant other and idiot? John Hoover writes with witty insight on this painfully familiar subject. You might ask yourslef...how did I wind up with such an idiot? And one explanation from Mr. Hoover..."Did either of you present yourself in a false image in order to fit into the relationship?...It's like filing a flight plan for a Boeing 747 and showing up in a hang glider." My idiot showed up in a hang glider.
This book delivers some practical advice from both perspectives and with a "straight-man" sense of humor. However -you will probably wind up reading it in the privacy of your bathroom or car -since even the most clueless idiots will suspect that this book probably has something to do with them. A parting quote: "If you don't step up the idiots will be in charge ...with your permission."
