Steven A. Danley and Peter Hughes PhD, CPA
“An inventive, imaginative, and beautifully crafted management guide… There’s real genius in this book… the authors’ ability to parse out the individual conditions is remarkable, as are their keen insights into each specific management problem… the descriptions are spot-on throughout…”
— Kirkus Reviews
Organizational "insiders" Steven A. Danley and Dr. Peter Hughes explore the most common dysfunctions preventing managers from promoting healthy, vibrant, and sustainable workplaces in this field manual written in the form of a medical encyclopedia. They identify toxic behaviors and cultures such as "managerial addiction," which is identified by fixations on fame, power, money, adulation, and territory; "lack of shame," which is the inability or diminished capacity of a manager/executive to feel embarrassment, disgrace, or ignominy for unscrupulous actions; and "inadequate knowledge of line operations," which is defined by an inattention to and/or insufficient knowledge of daily operations.

Intellectual Helplessness in America: Thinking Clearly and Acting Rationally
Steven A. Danley
"Intellectual Helplessness in America is a good guidebook to overcoming current intellectual malaise, rationally tackling topics that have become imbued with irrational moralism."
— Foreword Reviews
“Drawing from philosophy, sociology, and political science and grounded in American tradition, Danley aims to shed light on divisive current affairs and provide tools to navigate them.…Intellectual Helplessness in America is a bold book…aiming to unify Americans with
common sense and mutual respect.”
— BlueInk Reviews
"Danley couples an anatomy of America’s intellectual and moral floundering with prescriptions for improvement...Danley’s study is remarkably wide-ranging in its scope....the author’s call for a renaissance of bipartisan compromise, negotiation, and argument in good faith is as sensible as it is timely."
— Kirkus Reviews
Intellectual Helplessness offers a frank logistical look at the spiraling decay of one of America's most important assets -the way we think. Author Steven A. Danley painstakingly illustrates how the United States has reached a tipping-point-era of intellectual helplessness. He identifies the myriad of ways we've refused, forgotten, or never been taught how to think critically and act rationally.
