From Dostoevsky and his own masterpiece "The Idiot" to John Hoover and this self-help guide for our happy coexistence with the most unlikely companions of modern everyday life, a lot of ink has been spilled about idiots. So much so, that it makes us wonder how many idiots there are among us and, ultimately, how an idiot is defined and who has the right to treat their neighbor as an idiot. Or themselves.

However, as things generally go, the author emphasizes that it is not at all unlikely to find yourself living next to an idiot on a nice morning - whether they are your partner, roommate, or neighbor. Don't panic: harmonious coexistence with them largely depends on your willingness to seek and find the idiot that you yourself hide within. Yes, we all have an idiot inside us, it's just that some idiots stand out more and are more easily distinguished.
