Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Earlier this year, the publication of Dr. Hoover's How to Work for an Idiot: Survive and Thrive Without Killing Your Boss proved what we all suspected-there are a lot of idiots out there...and you're probably working for one. But are idiots confined to the workplace? Ultimate success in living happily with an idiot-whether spouse, child, other relative or roommate-depends upon your willingness to search out and embrace your own inner idiot. We all have one. Some just pop out more often than others do. By learning the art of setting realistic expectations, resentments will diminish and relationships can be rekindled based on strengths rather than continuing to whither on weaknesses. This book offers practical, useful advice for all of us who have to deal with the many true idiots in our lives, but helps us laugh at them, too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Please look in the mirror, January 25, 2005
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."

5.0 out of 5 stars Chapters survey issues of blame, compatibility, criticism and more, August 7, 2005
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
Yes, you can live with an idiot - whether it be a spouse, child, or roommate - all depending on willingness to recognize your own 'inner idiot'. Author Hoover is a Ph.D. and the author of the popular How To Work For An Idiot: Clueless Creatures And The People Who Love Them - and he's an organizational behavior consultant who here uses the family structure as his 'organization'. Chapters survey issues of blame, compatibility, criticism and more.
