Are people really idiots?, by Larry Winget

(View entire post here)

Are people really idiots? Obviously I believe so based on the title of my new book, People Are Idiots And I Can Prove It.

What else could I believe based on the evidence provided?

Parents don't talk to their kids or discipline their kids; give them everything they want and then wonder why their kids are a mess.

People barely do any work while they are on the job, then can't figure out why they got laid off when times got tough for their employer.

People spend more money than they earn then seem to be surprised that the people who loaned them the money actually want to be repaid.

The majority of people can't read and don't read.

Our country is experiencing an obesity epidemic because of our eating habits.

25% of people cheat on their taxes yet expect honesty from their elected officials.

I could go on and on with points just like this but I believe my point is clear. The real issues are: Why are people idiots? and: What can be done to stop being an idiot? When we deal with the cause of a problem and offer some solutions, then we can begin to fix individual problems as well as the problems of society.

That is what my new book is all about. If I just pointed out all the ways that people are idiots, we would all have a good laugh but it wouldn't move anyone closer to a solution. I like solutions. Simple, "Stop doing this and start doing that" type solutions. People Are Idiots And I Can Prove It does this because I deal in detail with the various ways each of us sabotage our lives and how we can reverse the cycle to achieve more.

If you ever look in the mirror like I do and wonder why things aren't going better, maybe you will pick up some good idea from what I have written. At least, that is my goal. I am not promising you that this book will fix everything in your life and that you will suddenly be rich, healthy, famous or good-looking. But I honestly think there are some good ideas in the book that just might help you out.
