this book is awesome

например, глава называется:

Never underestimate people

и начинается она так:

Never underestimate people’s capacity for screw-ups, stupidity, misunderstandings, unproductive grudges, ignorance, and other great traits which set us apart from the animals. If you say something, check that they understand. If you ask somebody to do something, check that it gets done. Or better, first ensure that they understand what you’re asking.

а заканчивается так:

After all, if you spent half your life trying to become smarter than the rest of the tribe, why complain that you are surrounded by idiots? Yes, you are smarter; that’s what you have worked so hard for. And now you have to live with that.

Я надеюсь, глава называется "Почему другим глубоко наплевать на ваши проблемы"?

Отличнейшая книжка, отличнейшая.

Интересно, нативы ее понимают?
