Following the launch in Bolton we jetted off to Spain for a week’s R&R and an escape from the misery of the wet English summer. It was a good break and a chance to finally put our feet up before the next wave of work is upon us.
I also got round to reading ‘Overcoming Stupidity in the world around you’, the latest book from our favourite creative thinker Andy Green. The premise is simple: The world is getting more stupid and we’re all prone to bouts of it sometimes. The good news is the book goes on to explore the flexible thinking we can use to overcome our own stupidity and that of others.
It’s a great read for anyone interested in communication and has a loose, light tone reminiscent of Kurt Vonnegut along with laugh out loud examples of bureaucracy gone mad.
Given that Andy is the guy who brightens up Blue Monday, New Order seemed very appropriate.
‘Overcoming Stupidity in the world around you’ is published by the Flexible Thinking Forum, an imprint of Tangent Books.
