How to Be a Perfect Idiot is a brutally honest - and darkly funny - exploration of the subtle acts of self-deception that keep us miserable, confused, and endlessly repeating ourselves. Drawing from decades of psychoanalytic experience, Jaime Grunfeld exposes the hidden logic behind our most irrational habits - from the ways we sabotage love and success to the excuses we invent to stay exactly where we are.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith humor, clarity, and compassion, he reveals how folly, denial, and self-sabotage aren't flaws to be erased but windows into our shared humanity. This isn't a self-help manual. It's a mirror - one that reflects the small daily idiocies that shape our lives, and the strange comfort we find in repeating them. For anyone who's ever asked, \"Why do I keep doing this?\" - this book offers no quick fixes, only the kind of understanding from which change becomes possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Jaime Grunfeld, Lmhc\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/11\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798349639623\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 66\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.14d","brand":"Jaime Grunfeld","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52210030346421,"sku":"9798349639623","price":8.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_ac047ce4-7dd2-461b-9229-18d8056b9e86.jpg?v=1770132149","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/how-not-to-be-a-perfect-idiot-9798349639623","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
