Smart vs. Foolish [Russian Edition]

A Book That Breaks the Stereotypes: Why C-Students Rule the World While Straight-A Students Work for Them — Now in Audiobook Format!
This book challenges everything you thought you knew about what it means to be “smart.” At the heart of the narrative are the stories of two classmates: Alexey, a brilliant straight-A student who struggles to find his dream job, and Anton, a C-student who effortlessly builds a successful career. Through their journeys and the real-life stories of entrepreneurs, the author shows that traditional knowledge and grades no longer determine your path in life. True success depends on the ability to combine analytical thinking with emotional intelligence — the skill of understanding yourself and others.
The book busts the myth that a high IQ guarantees success and reveals the real formula for achievement. Get ready to discover why the education system creates perfect executors but not leaders, how to develop the qualities schools don’t teach, and why in today’s world, those who know how to think and feel come out on top.
