How to Be a Lot Less Stupid
Pending publication in 2026
Given the world around us, could there be a better time to show people how to be less stupid?
Everyone says or does stupid things – some people undoubtedly more than others. We see them every day, and we suffer the impact of their lack of clear and rational thinking.
This book alleviates at least some of that. It is an in-depth journey in critical and rational thinking for business – and anyone interested in seeing the world and themselves more clearly.
I’m Tired of Being Stupid.
Based on a series of MBA lectures, the book explores the basics of critical thinking and business writing with examples and questions to prompt further exercises for students.
After the fundamentals of business are presented, the reader is guided through a series of concepts that build to a fuller understanding of critical thinking, the world of business, and their relationships with colleagues and competitors.
It was written partly as a textbook, but broadens the topics for readers to begin their own personal exploration into living with greater clarity and purpose in business and the world. As a result, it was sold in bookstores in the genres of both business and self-help/personal development.
“Peter H. Frank is a seasoned specialist in the business world. He has humor and flair in his writing. . . . He doesn’t don the robe of a moralizing professor. His discourse is direct and pragmatic.“
The book “was like a breath of fresh air. I read it nodding my head ‘yes’ at every page and asking myself, in the end, why didn’t I write this book.“
“Peter practices what he preaches and preaches what he practiced. He is a knowledgeable practitioner who has the willingness to share with us his experiences.”
“Peter does a little magic and shows us the philosophy of business.”
“This extraordinary book is an absolute sine qua non for business.”
“Peter H. Frank manages to extremely skillfully combine complex theoretical notions with practical examples that make this journey in critical thinking so useful but also fascinating.”
The Songe of If
A fairy tale for adults – an exploration of meaning in the burden of time, the possible in dreams, the lessons of silence, the clarity of love, and the miraculous in life.
An experimental novel intended as a challenge and exploration, the unexpected result was an unsurprising mix of Charlotte’s Web, I and Thou, and Nausea.
“There is a fear in the bending of the trees. It is the fear of the creature faced with change and transformation.”
