Titles in This Set:
The Psychology of Stupidity
Surrounded by Bad Bosses and Lazy Employees
Deep Focus

Format: Paperback

Overview:
The Stupidity Collection brings together three accessible, thought-provoking non-fiction titles that address thinking, leadership, and focus in a distraction-rich world. The Psychology of Stupidity gathers insights from leading psychologists and thinkers—including a Nobel Prize winner—about why intelligent people sometimes embrace irrational beliefs, how our brains misfire, and how media and online noise shape judgment. Surrounded by Bad Bosses and Lazy Employees translates a four-colour behavioural framework into practical workplace guidance for understanding boss and colleague styles and for cultivating constructive leadership. Deep Focus offers a clear plan to reclaim attention, build deep work habits, and defend time against constant interruptions. Together, the trio provides a compact, actionable toolkit for professionals and curious readers alike.

What This Collection Covers:
Across the three titles, the collection explores bias, decision-making, leadership dynamics, and strategies for sustained concentration. The Psychology of Stupidity dives into cognitive errors, how to recognise them, and why media and technology can distort perception. Surrounded by Bad Bosses and Lazy Employees examines workplace patterns and offers practical steps to lead more effectively, communicate clearly, and foster accountability. Deep Focus guides readers through the cognitive costs of distraction, debunks multitasking, and provides rituals and routines that support focused work. The collection is ideal for professionals seeking smarter decisions, managers looking for actionable guidance, and students or lifelong learners wanting sharper focus in a busy world.

The Psychology of Stupidity
In this volume, a panel of leading psychologists and thinkers explores why intelligent people sometimes embrace irrational beliefs. It untangles cognitive biases, misperceptions, and social pressures that distort judgment, and it examines how media and online noise can amplify error. The book balances research with accessible scenarios to help readers recognize faulty reasoning, question complacent assumptions, and communicate more effectively. It invites reflection on personal thinking patterns and offers practical guardrails for making wiser, more deliberate decisions in daily life and public discourse.

Surrounded by Bad Bosses and Lazy Employees
Building on the four-colour system introduced in Surrounded by Idiots, this volume maps behaviours to practical actions. It helps readers identify boss and teammate styles, adapt their own approach, and foster a more productive workplace.

Through real-world scenarios—from meetings to delegation—readers gain tools to improve communication, collaboration, and motivation across teams.

Ideal for students, professionals, and anyone seeking greater concentration in a busy, digital age.
