From the Publisher

Surrounded by idiots

Some seriously state that they’re surrounded by idiots. Some, funnily enough, state this more often than others. And certainly we could find many different types of problem to get along. Some examples you might recognize; have you ever tried to reason with your partner and nothing went as planned or expected? Or have you left a meeting in confusion with the feeling that you truly did not understand a single person in the room. And worst of all, some people never seem to understand what you are saying, no matter how clear you express yourself.
