Life can be messy sometimes. We've all done things that weren't the best. We've all been in some not-so-pretty, pigpen situations. But no matter how bad it gets, the good news is that we don't have to be stuck in our circumstances! God loves us. And He is able and willing to pick us up and set us on our feet again. Beginning with a unique approach to the story of the prodigal son, Craig W. Hagin encourages us to see ourselves as God sees us. We are not worthless losers! We are more than conquerors in Christ Jesus! We have lifechanging ability inside us. And it's time for us to act on the Word and make it a reality in our lives. It's time for us to stop being stupid, rise up from the mud, and become the champions God created us to be!

Do you think the world is going to shit? And that manners are being thrown out the window? And that common sense and common courtesy are becoming uncommon? And that you are now dealing with idiots that bit too often? You are not alone. We are all collectively treating each other worse than ever before. We talk to each other like dickheads. We drive like wankers. We leave piss on the toilet seat. We shake hands as if they’ve turned into floppy fish. We treat money as the be-all and end-all. Yann thinks this is down to us slowly losing touch with our own humanity. In other words, we care more about ourselves than the person next to us. Sure, capitalism and technology are partly to blame. But at the end of the day, if we don’t start treating each other a little better, we’re all truly fucked. There’s no way in hell we’ll be able to work together long enough to resolve the catastrophic problems coming our way. To that end, ‘don’t be stupid, idiot’ is chock full of 120+ hilarious, sweary, sarcastic, hard-hitting rants about everyday things that everyday idiots do, with quasi-serious, tongue in cheek exercises to help idiots be less idiotic. Each rant also has a QR code or link to share with that idiot of a friend who needs to read it! Rants include: Queue cutting Cancel culture Buying rounds Splitting the bill Holding the door open Ignoring reserved seating Treating pets as humans Tailgating Reclining plane seats Taking the mick Conspiracy theorists & many more! No one is innocent of being an idiot, including you. It is impossible to read this book and not realise at least one or two ways in which you’ve started to not give a shit about your fellow human. Yann hopes that, instead of being a little bitch about it, you’ll use all the reality checks you’ll receive to become a better person who is more aware of how their actions affect others. Entertainment: Guaranteed Fucks Given: Zero Legitimate Reviews “Brilliant!! But it can’t go on our best seller’s list because most of our readers are idiots” – Some shit newspaper “Bought for my idiot friend. Was a prick, still is but at least he knows it now!!” – An idiot “The perfect stupid gift for my boyfriend/husband/dad/brother!! They can be a right wanker!” – Wanker-loving idiot Get the book now, you muppet. Yann doesn’t care whether you buy it as a Secret Santa piss-take for colleagues, a really stupid gift for Christmas, a birthday present for people you don't like, for bloody Mother’s and Father’s day, or just because you like books taking the mick. Just buy the thing and start your journey towards being less of a prick. Still don’t know if ‘don’t be stupid, idiot’ is for you? If you enjoyed Mark Manson’s, ‘The subtle art of not giving a f*ck’, Laura Clery’s, ‘Idiots’, Thomas Erikson’s, ‘Surrounded by idiots’ or Karl Pilkington’s, ‘An idiot abroad’, you’ll love this! You’ll also feel right at home if you relate to the logic and pull no punches style of outspoken people like Ricky Gervais, Jeremy Clarkson, Piers Morgan and James Haskell.

Don't be Stupid, advice for young people and some old fools, is a self help, get off your butt and jam type of book. This book is based on observations of teen abandonment, parental neglect, gang life, drug use, loving a loser, abuse, dumb decisions, lack of financial knowledge, media mind control and surviving living in America. It may not be acceptable to many who do not want to change their common ways, but it is great advice and is based on real life situations.

God doesn't want us to be stupid. He doesn't want us to take what He has given us and to use it in the wrong way. He doesn't want us to degrade ourselves. He doesn't want us to demean ourselves. He doesn't want us to devalue ourselves. We are made by God. We are His children and as such, we have a right to happiness, peace, joy, forgiveness, mercy and a host of blessings that can span farther than our eyes or even our minds can see. So why do we act the way we do?

We cannot control a lot of things in the world. The only thing we can control is what we decide to do. Have you ever felt like you made a bad decision? Have you ever felt like you could make better decisions? Have you made decisions that altered the course of your life in a direction you did not intend on going? Have you made decisions that made you slap your forehead and yell, Duh? Do you want to improve your world and live with less stress? By using the Four Rules, you can take control of your choices and the decision-making process that directs your life. We can change the world, but change has to start somewhere. Lets start with us. Me First! Gary Jones is not an ivory tower academic, a Harvard MBA, a television evangelist, or a political consultant. He is a simple man with a simple message: four rules to change your decision-making life. We all have some type of psychological system to make decisionsGarys system works!
