Chapters survey issues of blame, compatibility, criticism and more

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.

Please look in the mirror

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."
